Independence Day Challenge!!

[Luci-De-Milo]

Well once again, my W.I. was terrible stuck to SS+ as was told to weighed/measured everything, had my water etc, and only 1/2lb down - not a happy girl, but keeping going x

Alexmummy - so sorry to hear you're having a bad time It's really incredibly admirable the way you manage to keep going against all the odds.

Have you been to the docs? Or do you have any conditions you know of that would effect your ability to lose weight? It might be worth a check up, because this doesn't seem normal. Don't want to worry you by saying that! Just that there could be something that could help you lose weight quicker if you do have any problems.

Hope thinks pick up for you soon either way. Sending you lots of hugs xxxxxx

Hi guys, well as I know and expected ive only lost 3Ib, its nearly TOTM and ive swollen up like a balloon, i think im more disappointed cos she told me I should be losing about 7Ib a week, but every little helps, hopefully it will catch up after TOTM so hoping it doesnt still stay same next week.

Hiya hun,

Well CDC doesn't seem to be too worried about it to be honest, she wants me to do another week doing what I'm doing and then go from there, I'd be quite happy at 2lbs+ a week now, but 1/2lb or even last weeks (and the other weeks 1 3/4lbs) just isn't enough, for being still at a BMI of 31. I won't give up because I have come so far from where I was, I started at 17 stone and BMI 42.2, and I have lost 4 1/2 stone, so it could just be a long plateau or something. CDC is suggesting that maybe from next week (results pending) to go up to 810 and to stay there as she thinks maybe my body has 'had enough' of SS or SS+ and needs more to keep functioning enough to let go of more fat now, I don't know how right or wrong this is, but I'm willing to try anything to get the rest of the weight going.

Either way, I can't/won't give up, I've got to keep going, and somehow I've got to find the key to results again.
xx

 

[Witchy]

Good for you, as long as you keep plodding on you will get there xx

 

[scojos]

i too had the same problem (plateau with v small weight loss- but on 810) and i also lost about the same amount (over 22st to 14.7) it took weeks for the plateau to lift, i resigned myself to the fact my body was happy at that weight, decided to move up to 1000 to stabilise and then weight started coming off again! now stuck at 13s - no longer doing CD due to medical issues, but im sure it will take 3-4 weeks again to move.
you have lost loads, could you live at that weight if you never lost another lb?
it just takes time hon, good luck with what ever you decidexx
p.s my 1st wi with sw tonight, hope for a ss after moving off 810, fingers crossed xx

 

[Witchy]

Good luck hon for tonight.

You know I have to be positive about it, she measure me and id lost 10" as well.

Ive had to bag up my shoes as my feet have slimmed down and throw my bras away as they dont fit anymore and ring are now in boxes as they fly off when I make hand movements, ive been doing it for three weeks and im already down a size in bottoms and down to a 18/20 in tops when i was 24 all round, so taking this into account I think im running before I can walk, i need to chill and enjoy it dont I haha.

 

[Witchy]

Hope you are all ok its rather quiet tonight x

Wow, Witchy! What fabulous results!! And in such a relatively short space of time too! Well done you - stop giving yourself a hard time and enjoy the discoveries you're making on the journey (ie how far you can lob your rings if you put your mind and a good flick of the wrist to it! lol) x

 

[fatfighter]

Well done Luci! I get where you're coming from when you say CD makes you give up so much you expect big losses - I'm the same!
Witchy your CDC is expecting a helluva lot with 7lbs a week - average loss is 3.5lbs weekly! You should get a decent amount off next week coz you've retained water this week though I think we have similar amounts to lose (give or take a stone) and I've shrunk by 2 dress sizes in 5 weeks too. My engagement ring is now too big but I daren't tell OH as it's brand new
Well done on your shrinkage too Liz
Alexmummy moving up plan seems a good idea, it might give your metabolism a kickstart.
Hope your WI at SW went ok scojos.
I went to the Nickelback concert last night and I think I must've burnt off my days calorie intake lol, it was amazing!

Good afternoon ladies hope you are well and feeling good about yourselves.

I was at playgroup this moring and was asked if there was something wrong me with by three concerned childminders because of the difference in size of my stomach, legs and backside, I was so happy felt great, go to say these firming creams are really helping firm myself up.

How are you all today xx

 

[fatfighter]

That was the soap and co one wasn't it Witchy? I'll have to have a look next time I'm in Boots, is it expensive?
Great that people are noticing (not so good that they thought you were ill though lol) good for you lovely X

Hello honey how are you tonight?? yes the Soap and Co is the Firminator, its really icy cold though and you need to wrap up after you apply it, its around £10 but had really toned my arms up so its my new best friend.

 

[fatfighter]

I'm feeling sorry for myself today after having a tooth taken out How's you?
Do you use it every day? My arms are the things I hate most just now, even my boobs (surprisingly) aren't too bad!
