Independence Day Challenge!!

Wow Vickie - that's fabulous, you go girl. There'll be nothing left of you at this rate ;) x
 
Watergirl, well done on your loss! I had the exact same thing last week, I lost 2lbs due to not drinking enough water I think, but then it meant I'd lost a stone overall so it was OK! Everyone is doing so so well, I hope everyone manages to meet their Independence Day weight or at least get very close, everyone is working so hard and deserves it! It will be interesting to see how much we all managed to lose altogether!

Scojos - I was wondering where you had got off to! I hope you are feeling better now, it must have been really scary. You are of course more than welcome to stay in this thread and let us know how you are getting on. You're losses have been brilliant and I'm sure you'll will do just as well on SW. Hope you enjoy your time with the kids :) xx

Fatfighter - I know, right now I don't even want to get married! I just want the dresses LOL. Well done on the 5lb loss! My scales say just over 3lbs so far, let's hope on Monday both of us get the losses we want!

Well something I've really overlooked on CD is the fact that whilst I have had a few comments about my weight loss, these are all from people I see every day, but today whilst I was in town I saw a friend I hadn't seen since I started CD, and she was so amazed! She kept saying how well I looked & said she could really notice the difference, really made my day!

Someone I'm really looking forward to seeing is my hairdresser who I'm quite close with, the last time I saw her was a few weeks before CD, will be seeing her next in mid June, and then after that in September, roughly when I expect to finish CD, so if anyone is going to notice it will hopefully be her!

Well we have the annual "Air Festival" this weekend, basically loads of noisy, noisy planes for 2 days and loads of stalls/simulators/rides/games down the seafront, it attracts SO SO many people each year and as I live near the seafront we always get the full brunt of it. Isn't too bad except I had to revise!! Hmm shall be interesting trying to concentrate when some deafening fighter jet is hovering outside my front door!

Hope you're all OK! xxxx
 
Hey everyone,
How you doing? Hope Friday's been good to you :)

Luci - what a fabulous feeling that must have been when you got compliments from your friend! You're a star!

Well, I'm off to do some housework! Have a fun Friday evening!

Thelma :D
 
Hey Luci - bet that was lovely. People we see every day never tend to notice really. Good luck with revision. Boots do some amazing earplugs!!!

Hey Thelma, I should be doing housework. It's weird that people either do loads on CD or can't be bothered. I fall into the latter catagory.

Have a great evening everyone xxx
 
sorry didnt post last night was sulking with myself so kept off line didnt want to bring anybody else down too.

Back in the groove today and happy and the scales have moved so I feel better.

Luci I bet you felt great with the comments you were getting, nice feeling.
 
Morning Witchy and co

Glad you're feeling better, Witchy. I know how you feel and sometimes all you want to do is retreat. Good to see you back though!

Hope everyone has a great day. I'm off for a spot of retail therapy this afternoon so should be fun!

Catch you later
Thelma D
 
OOo sounds fun, have a great time.

Im taking my oldest daughter (she is eleven) to her first beauty treatment morning, she has some nasty spots and is feeling a bit down about them, so she is having a dermalogica teenage facial, it will perk her up and make her feel grown up and give her the boost she needs.

My shopping trips have been taking me to boots weekly, im buying up all there firming products and just found a lovely one for my arms I can really see the difference with it, Soap and Co the Firminator, this is a witchy recommendation.
 
Thanks for the recommendation Witchy - I might just buy some of that! I'm actually going with a friend who's buying my birthday pressie (birthday was at the start of the month) and we've agreed I'm going to get a fab/good/sturdy pair of sandals as we're going to Australia together in January :D. So, as I can't buy clothes for it, we decided it'd be shoes! Yay!

Wow, lucky girl, your daughter! I bet she'll love it! Such a lovely girlie thing for you both to do as well. Have fun!!!
 
OO lucky you, hope you find a fab pair.

Meg is real girly girl and loves her pamper days with me in my bedroom pinching all my products so this will be ace for her.

Wow Australia lucky you, we have family somewhere out there would love to go when the little one is older, she would be a nightmare on a long flight was bad enough on a two hour to Spain flight haha
 
Morning girlies :)

Victoria that sounds lovely, bet she'll have a fab time, lucky girl. Enjoy yourself.

Know what you mean about clothes Thelma. Was going to get some for my birthday, but decided on shoes instead. Hope you find something nice.
 
She has had a fab time really enjoyed herself, just dropped all the kids at my mums now till tomorrow so having a snuggly catchupathon with my sky planner with my husband this afternoon.

OMG before I forget, i got measured for a bra four weeks ago and splashed out on all new bras, put one on this morning and too big now way too big, ive lost my boobs and my wide fitting shoes are to slobby now too, so i now need to reshoe myself and and buy new bras again, costing a fortune this diet haha, im happy though

Catch you all tomorrow.
 
i know what you mean about bras, i went to bravissimo (which i would really reccomend) and they changed me from a 38dd to a 34gg!!
i feel 1000% better in the right bra, happy to be a 34, but gutted to go up to a gg, means i can only buy from specialist shops :rolleyes:
 
I think today has been great all over to say I had such a bad night as ive finally got my engagement ring back on after four years, down size is ive had to take all my other rings off cos they are slipping off but its a small sacrifice.

had a lovely pamper session and ready for my night out now, water bottle at the ready haha.
 
Another 2lbs off this week
25lbs - 8lbs lost - 17lbs to go!

Thats brilliant well done xxx

I have sneaky weight in this morning and have lost 3Ibs but will wait till Tuesday for official weight in hopefully it will move down again.

Party was really hard everyone was drunk and having fun, but being sober was weird I saw everyone with different eyes next party im staying home lol
 
Well done Sarette, brilliant loss! Keep it up, you're doing so well :D

How is everyone getting on this weekend? Today is a bit crap, I'm really glad I have the excuse of revision and essays to stay in today - despite the weather being sooo nice - as the Air Festival is on down here and it means there are food/ice cream/doughnut stalls everywhere! Plus my dad is doing a BBQ, has bought loads of crisps and coke...

Don't you sometimes wish that when you get through a really hard day like today, you are rewarded with like a pound loss lol, cos I can tell my scales are going to STS despite me being good today!

Oh well, better than a gain I suppose. Now just got to get through BHM tomorrow as well! There have been FAR too many of them this month lol! xxx

Hi honey, its crap isnt it hehe im hiding in the house cos neighbours are having a party in the garden and my hubby has gone to work, kids are all out playing so its just me and Georgie (she is three), got to order Pizza from pizza hut for sleep over tonight thats going to be really hard to even smell it never mind dish it up for them. No point cheating though as it will take three days to kick start again, (go me lol).

Yes it is!! Lol, hehe look at us sitting indoors on a day like this! I think it's best for my sanity right now tho lol, I'm sure the smell of BBQs is driving u as mad as it is me!
I don't think I could handle a pizza without devouring it at the moment so I admire you! You'll be fine tho don't worry :) Well done for thinking of it like that, that's what I'm trying to do today...
A few burgers, chips and a glass of coke might be nice for a few minutes, but it won't be so nice the extra few days I'm having to do CD, and the extra cost, to lose what I've gained! xx
 
Evening girls hope you're all having a good weekend :)
It's so crap when there's food and foody smells everywhere huh?
I went to a BBQ last nigh and had already decided I was going to have chicken and salad, it was nice enough but I could quite easily have done without it. I was glad I did though as I had been really sh**ting myself about having to have food again at some point and now I know it's not too bad, I won't go mad and binge and break the diet being destined to be fat forever... I'm not! :D
Though the loaded nacho's looked and smelled like nectar I want to be slim more than I wanted them so all in all I'm happy with myself for doing this :)
 
Hi honey how are you today?? Sounds lovely yum yum. Im going to settle for a choccie mint mix a mouse
