January 2009 - Starters

[del_cymru]

Hello Del, how's week 4 started for you? Welcome to our fabulous thread!
Sharon x

Hey there! thank you all for the kind welcome!
week 4's going well so far, been living on microwaved veg soup which just tastes like a gorrrrgeous biscuit. just been to pilates too, having spent an hour trying to 'engage with my pelvic floor' i've decided that i've no idea what the hell they're going on about. how's this week started off for you?
i just can't believe how quickly the weeks are rolling by and how much easier it gets with time.
congragulations to everyone on their weight loss, we'll all get there in the end!
anyone else suffering from severly cold-frozen ish hands?!
keep up the good work xxx

 

[daisydoll]

hi del cymru
ive not had the soup like that yet - too scared of burning it then ending up with no tea!

take it you have no kids if you don't know where your pelvic floor is?!

i am only too aware of mine after having 3!:cry:

[del_cymru]

mmm tis a bit hit and miss with the microwave timing but i've always been partial to burnt tasting food so i scrape it all on a spoon lol!
nope, no kids, funnily enough though a few of the women there started reminiscing about their midwives and tales from the labour ward...all that to look forward to in (many,many) years to come.
how long have u been on LL now daisy? x

 

[daisydoll]

had my 3rd week weigh in yesterday - so into week 4 now
finding it ok so far, i hope thats going to be the case for the rest of the 77 days!
are you finding it ok?

[Hey, come on you guys!!! 3 and 4 pounds are still great losses!!! Don't start on that spiral. :whoopass: You are exactly on target. A stone a month, quarter a week.

Just put yourself on another diet where that would be a months loss if you were lucky!!!!


Now, well done on losing!!! ] Quote from Foxtrot

Foxtrot - thanks for the spanking . You're absolutely right - I'm 18lb lighter in just two weeks. That would be two months on many other diets I have tried. 4lbs is a great loss and it has got through to me now. I'm right on track on head back in positive position .

ok maybe you guys can help me out with this leeetle dilemma.

One of the outfits I can really visualise myself wearing when I'm size 10 or 12, is a brown leather jacket, skinny jeans and brown knee high boots...
I've seen this leather jacket that I've sort of fallen in love with. It's in the window of a charity shop. I went in to look today. Wasn't brave enough to ask to have a proper look at it so I'm guessing it's a size 12. Saw it was £30 though. Got a lovely belt round it.

Should I get it???

I'm on a fairly tight budget (being a student and all) and I have bought clothes lately. I tend to only get things (apart from my target dresses) when I neeeeed them. But I actually really want this but don't know if i can justify £30 on something I don't neeeed..

Help??! Dilemma!


Foxtrot - glad that you've been doing ok in getting back on track! I'm sure that weight is just glycogen going back on, and you'll lose it very quickly. You've done so well!

Daisy: Into week 4 now, that means you can almost start the 10 week countdown!

And finally... Welcome newbies!

 

[Foxtrot]

Oh hell Ellie, go buy it!! What's £30 for a leather jacket that's *the* one??? Go try it on with some jeans and if it's still yelling, it's an investment piece. If it's close fitting, think open neck shirt, if loose, think roll neck jumper.

I'm not normally a weigher, I know it's coming off so I don't need to beat myself over the head with it, but I've been watching the scales this past week because of the op and since yesterday morning they've gone down 4Lb Roll on next week when I'll be singing from the same song sheet again

 

[daisydoll]

thats good foxtrot, you will soon catch us back up again!

ellie - go for it - then no more shopping til everything starts dropping off you!

[EmVeg]

Weigh in last night and lost 3lb. So total of 19lb for two weeks. Happy with that.

You lot know I've been struggling believing I can do this and a lot of energy is going on me telling myself its possible. I was subdued in my meeting and a few of the women noticed. As soon as a stepped outside and one woman asked me if I was okay - I just went and sobbed my little heart out! But now I have her number and support outside group time which I think will help me immensley.

Hi Sansukh,

Don't feel too down on your loss this week, it should all average out.

If you have a look at all the Jan starters, we've all lost 1.5 stones, give or take 1lb either side.

When I only lost 7lbs my first week, I think I had the lowest loss of all the Jan starters, then the following week I had a slight increase on everyone else, then it balanced out for everyone - so, we all more or less lost the same amount in the end.

Just imagine, this time next month, we will all be down by 2.5 stones and imagine all the compliments we're going to be getting.
