Well done on all your losses! And great to see such a great attitube Becks.

Nearly punched the OH sisted today! First time I've seen here since xmas as she's been away s doesn't know I'm on the diet. She asks why I'm having no dinner, explain it to her, and she says quite matter of factly, "Well that's just so stupid." Lets just say it got my back up slightly! Then when later she asks if I can eat fruit and I say no shae says "I wish I could do a diet." The whole family looks quite puzzled as she is around 7st and the same height as me, and is such a bad eater, so her dad asked her what she meant..and the answer was where I very nearly punched her.

"I wish I was so fat I could do I diet like this".

Ignorant, moronic b****.

Not bringing me down at all...my blood just boiled, I swore and stormed out! Oops! Oh well, hopefully she'll think before she speaks from now on!
 
Em that sounds super frustrating, I probably would've had a similar reaction. Silly girl.

Well done on good losses to SexyBecks, Jazzy & foxtrot :D onwards and downwards.
 
Hello everyone!

I'm back safe from Bristol (and 5 days without MMs!!!!). I'll fill in the details on my diary tomorrow, but just wanted to say hi and well done everyone on your losses and the amazing attitude. I've missed you all so much!
 
SIIM welcome home!
Em - she sounds a bit of a nightmare - ignore the siily girl

Hellloooooo Siim!!!!

Em, rise above it, rise above it!!
 
Hello All,

I need lot of motivation from all of you.
I am struggling with the programme now.
i want to lose another stone but the steep seems much harder now then it ever has been. I seem to be thinking of food all the time.
Although I have done so good so far but have been really troubled with family and work pressure.
I really need some motivation as this seems to be slipping of me.
I do agree with the advice to continue this on holiday and lose the weight that I want too but part of me feels that this is enough and that I can't go further.
has anyone felt likt this.
To top it all I wore a dress today and it seems to make me feel( made me question)that I have done so well, But Do I really need to lose more(in honesty I would love to be around size 10 but 12 has always been acceptable to me(is that coz I found this to maintain always so hard??)

Really struggling and need some advice and tips to get through this
Thanks
sukhi
 
Well done Jessica :D

Em, how ignorant is OH's sister :eek::eek::eek: What a shocking thing to say. I'm so pleased you handled it so well, shows how far you've come on this journey ;)

Welcome home Sharon, I'll see you later :D

Sukhi, last time I really struggled towards the end - the last stone was tough and I too was thinking about food all the time. I can't give you any specific pearls of wisdom as to why I managed to stick it out until I got to goal - I guess I just wanted to get to a weight I'd never been in all my adult life - to prove to myself something. Have you spoken to your LLC about how you feel? She will have seen this a thousand times and no doubt will be better qualified to help you. Sorry I'm not much more help :(
 
Hi Everyone

I started lighterlife in Jan 09 also. I am now just going into my 7th week.

My weight loss to date goes as such

week1: 12lb
week2: 8lb
week3: 6lb
week4: 4.5lb
week5: 8lb
week6: 9.5lb

My total loss is 48lb and my goal is to loose (ideally and according to BMI) another 81lb although not sure if that will be my final weight target/goal because I play a lot of rugby and have never been thin so don't know how much I should weigh.
 
Welcome Gazzy B, you've come to the right place.

I'm with you, always played Rugby (front row) and have NEVER been slim. According to BMI to be 'healthy' I need to be sub 12st, but as I was 16st and very fit when I left school, my goal is to get to 14st as I've never been that light. If I can maintain around that weight i will be very happy.

Good to have you here.
 
Hi Gazzy!! :wavey:

You stop where you are comfortable. I know I'm not going to be a size 10, I'm not that shape and I like my curves.

My OH is 6' 3" and is 16 stone at the moment. He looks good at about 15 st 5 - 8 lb but below that and he starts looking gaunt and ill.

I think if you Google you could find out more for BMIs for active sportsmen and you could always have an actual fat measurement done instead.

hi gazzy - welcome!

sansukh - don't give up hun, you have done soooo well so far.
plus, if you keep going just a few more weeks you will have the added security of losing the extra just in case you put a couple back on!
its such a short time in the grand scale of things, stick with it!

....so much to catch up on! Well done Foxtrot, Catgirl and Jess, really great losses.

Welcome home SIIM hope you had a good week and didn't find the diet too hard last week what with being away from home.

Welcome Gaz, your losses have been fab ... you are doing so well, feel free to add your details to our progress list!

Sorry about you OH's sister Em, but console yourself with the fact that she is obviously just ignorant, something that you clearly will never be!

Sansukh, you have done so well, 28lb so far if my adding up is right ... 2 whole stone, if you can acheive that then you can do this and carry on to where you want to be. Only you can make the decision to how much you want to lose but once you know then we are all hear to support you as you continue....good luck and hope things look a bit clearer tomorrow.

Good luck all for this weeks losses! x

Well done on your losses this week! Good luck for those of you on weigh in tomorrow.

So much to catch up on when you've not been on for a couple of days.

Welcome back SIIM, we've missed you!

4lbs off for me tonight, which I'm pleased with.

Louale x
 
Great losses ladies, keep it up
