Hi, I've attempted to update my stats - hope I've got it right! Just back from my meeting which was really helpful and just what I needed after missing the last 2 due to holiday. I went through the book on my own but it's not quite the same! I'm becoming more and more impressed with our LLC - very perceptive and skilled at directing the group to come out with some extremely helpful stuff.

Urgh - my first social thing last night with my friends and god was it hard! I was only on day 2 and i had chocolate fountains under my nose and all my friends drunk. It was such a test but i managed to do it - i just had the image of me having to get on the scales on Thursday.

I have been having headaches for the last 2 days think its my body just getting used to it but its bloomin hurting - am i allowed to take paracetamol?:cry:

Hows everyone else doing this weekend?

I want something thats really gonna satisfy my tastebuds tonight has anyone tried those crisps/pompadoms?

Kels

:wave_cry:

 

[Goombagirl]

Well done Kels - pretty impressive to resist chocolate fountains etc before ketosis has kicked in! You must have a will of iron. As for paracetamol, yes it's OK and if I were you I'd take as much as I'm allowed - I'm not a believer in suffering pain! I haven't tried making crisps but I know lots of people swear by them. It sounds like you're doing brilliantly and I bet you'll be rewarded by a big loss on Thursday.

Hi All

Back online now.. Bought a new lap top this morning so I am with you all again...thanks goodness.

Well, I have 10lbs to go till my target weight (10stone) Spoke to LLC about managment this week. I wanted to start this week but there is no management meeting next week as councellor is on holiday so should be starting on the 19th, 2 weeks tomorrow. Quite scared about eating again but quite excited at the same time.I have updated my stats below as you were a bit generous with my last loss Jo!!! But thanks anyway.........

How is everyone else doing? This week seems to have been a long week for some reason.



Anyway talk soon...............

 

[Kels]

Ahhh thanks Goombagirl!

Im feeling loads better now, seems to come and go. But thanks for letting me know

OOOo I have just made a Thai pompadom thingy and its yummy - beats liquid anyways!

Have just thought to myself that i have only had 2 food packets today - is it ok to eat 2 at the same time?

Just looked at your stats,Youve done really well havent you!

[tootsie]

Hikels

It is fine to have 2 packs together, you an have all 4 at once if thats what you want to do!!

 

[jackiem38]

Hi Toots
Can I be a really needy person and ask you to change my stats!!It should read 28lbs in 3 weeks. I wouldn't mind but some of my class are very upset about slow weight loss and therefore discussion in class is very muted - I want to shout it to the world, or at least to all the very supportive people on this site. Do other groups discuss weight loss in class or is a general taboo subject?

 

[tootsie]

No problem jackie, 28lbs in 3 weeks is amazing, well done. We all atlk about weight in our group, not necessarily how much we weigh but how much we have lost each week. Not a taboo subject for us lot xxxx

__________________o problem Jackie, 2 stone in 3 weeks is totally amazing, well done you xx We all discuss our weight loss in class, not necessarily how much we weigh but how much we have lost, it dosn't see to be taboo at all xxxxx

 

[MaxieP]

No, it's never once been mentioned in our group! Neither the loss that week or the overall amount. Seems strange really, but maybe that's only compared to something like Weight Watchers I suppose. It doesn't bother me now I've found this site, but I understand how you feel. I have about 3 friends I text every Monday night to let them know how I've got on that week. I told them I'd do it before I started (and before I found this site) and said that it would make me feel better if I could do it and they were all very encouraging (even those who had never had a weight problem).

Maxie xxx

 

[jackiem38]

We started on week one comparing how much each had lost, I guess we were all so excited. A couple of people however are losing very slowly and are getting very upset by it.I did try to point out that they had the least to lose and were actually closer to goal than us 'bigger girls' but that didn't seem to cut it! I would never deliberately upset anyone so will continue to post on here and as Maxie does txt some supporters each week after the meeting. Good luck to everyone this week - hope you all achieve your desired loss.

 

[skinnyminny]

Good morning everyone

Well another weekend done, I have to say it is getting tougher the closer it gets to the end of foundation.

Saturday was a lovely spring day and I really enjoyed getting outdoors and tidying up the garden ready for summer & playing football with my son.

Sunday, however was miserable wind & rain and cold!!! Cannot wait for the summer !!!

It is TOTM and I feel really bloated - I stepped on the scales this morning and I have not budged since wednesday so I am expecting a low loss this week.

I am trying to excersise alot more this week and went out for a walk/run on Thursday & again on Friday and have to say I felt great having done it, so am going to make a special effort to go out again tonight.

I have been thinking alot about whether to go into management or not or continue to abstain for a further 4 weeks after foundation (development) I think mentally I have only prepared myself to abstain for 100 days so am not sure how I will cope if I prolong this.

Many of my friends have commented on how my weight loss goals are unrealistic and I should not focus on losing too much weight as they think I will be too thin at the end of it. I am not sure how to react to this as I acknowledge that I perhaps do have different ideas on what I consider to be a good weight - I aim to get to the lower end of my ideal weight which according to the table I have got states 8st 0.5lbs to 10st 2.

Maybe I am aiming too low (if that makes sense) but I have been 8 1/2 stone before albeit 10 yrs ago so I wanted to get as close to that as I could.

mmmmm now starting to question myself..............

Anyways enough of my ramblings - hope everyone else is doing ok.

Keep going everyone!!

 

[AngieBabie]

My group love to discuss the weight losses of the week when we get together at group meetings. We can't help it because we get so excited for each other. We are quite close knit and support each other really well. Our LLC sometimes get cross at us though, she tells us not to compare....in all honesty we are not comparing its all about SUPPORT. I am happy when I have had a good loss, and equally as happy when other members of the group are successful. Love, Angela x

 

[tootsie]

Hiya Skinny

I can't wait for the spring either!!!

I had alot of comments from mates this weekend about not loosing anymore weight, some are genuine and some I think are just jealous and really want me to fail, people can be such funny things!! I would suggest that you do want you want to do hun, after all it's about how you feel and it's got absolutely nothing to do with anyone else. Why not set half stone goals from now on and reasses every time you hit one, you can make the move anytime you want, it's your body babe.

I think I may be loosing my job this week Cash flow seems to be a bit of an issue and had a chat with my boss, also a best mate on Saturday and they have a bit of a crisis!!! Do you know what though, I don't really care, infact I think it may be somewhat liberating. It will make me get up of my backside and go for the LLC or something else, I will keep you posted. Do you think this London meet will happen? I hope so as i would really like to meet up with you and everyone else. It's weird that I have got through all this with the help of faceless friends!!!

Hope you have a good week xxx

 

[skinnyminny]

Hi Toots

I hope the London thing happens too, I can't wait to put faces to names, I feel I know everyone so well already, it seems weird to think we have never even met!

Re. the job thing - everything happens for a reason & maybe you are right it will give you the push to do pursue to LLC route that you want to go for.

I hope it works out for you whatever happens, I do not know what to do for the best with my career, I work in the banking industry and am sooooo bored with it all and I want to change direction totally but finding it really hard to make the change. I have been offered another bank manager position (waiting for formal notification) but feel this would just be more of the same just a different organisation and to be honest I am not too bothered. Hmmmmphh!!!!

Since my son was born I have changed totally and just want to stop & smell the roses and slow down the pace a bit - trouble is I still want to the money & the status that comes with having a fast paced career - cannot have everything I guess.

HI Girls!

Hope your day is going well. I brought a toffee bar with me this morning and i shouldnt have - they are vile and i have just begrudgingly chucked 3/4 away! Roll on lunch time now for my yummy chicken soup!

When is this meeting in London then? x

Quote: "i had chocolate fountains under my nose and all my friends drunk ... but i managed to do it "

Well done Kels for resisting. I always found it fascinating watching my mates when they were drunk (was I REALLY like that?!?!?). Don't forget it is a short-term sacrifice for a long-term goal.

Quote:"I brought a toffee bar with me this morning and i shouldnt have - they are vile..."

Haha Kels. I was exactly the same, except that my son asked to try a piece and loved it!

Quote: "Many of my friends have commented on how my weight loss goals are unrealistic "

I think, Skinny that the important word is "MY", that is, YOUR weightloss. YOU know what is best for you. Your friends are worried because you are changing physically so quickly and they are struggling to catch up with your new image. In time they will get used to the 'new improved Skinny!' and will slowly forget the old you.

Quote: "I think I may be loosing my job this week..."

It's great that you are so positive about this news Tootsie. How would you have reacted a few months ago. before LL counselling/weightloss? You positive attitude will go a long way to helping you secure a new job/future! Good luck!

"Quote: "When is this meeting in London then?"

Sigh, I'd love to come, but live too far away!!
