Hi Jackie

The first week is hard, grit your teeth and it does get a little easier. Weight loss should average about a stone per month but is usually a little more in the first month due to the first week being a bit bigger. I'm not sure about how much is water but I think roughly 4lbs or so.

Keep going xxx

 

[jackietrew]

thanks for the reply! so basically im looking at about 5 months to reach my goal, i guess thats alot better than dieting conventionally im sure it would take a lot longer that way! by the way you look fantastic!! how long did it take you?? and are you still on it? xx

 

[silvercb67]

Hi Jackietrew,
The first part of your journey must start with your mind!
It is hard for the 1st week (I still have memories of my desperate help posts in the early days) however....focus on a day at a time or a weigh-in at a time....tell yourself the weight that you see on the scales will be the last time you see that number....when it comes to food and temptation don't say " I can't/I want/I can't/I want" just tell yourself " It's not never....it's just not now"!
As for how much is water....think about it...do you really care? 10lbs off is 10lbs off!! (well done by the way!!)
Best advice I can give you is Minimins!! I couldn't have done this without this site...the great people on here have celebrated with me...kicked me up the ar*e when I needed it...and given me virtual hugs & tissues when I needed them:thankyou:
XXXXX

hey, thank you so much for that! i've always been a person who turns to food for any situation! stress, boredom, sadness etc and thats one thing im finding hard, start a new job on July the 5th so hopefully will have lost something by then! congrats on your weight loss btw how much more do you have to lose? xxxx

I also found this hard. In my first month I think I was on an emotional rollercoaster and I realised that where I used to use food I couldn't/wouldn't anymore due to CD...I had to find other ways to deal with 'stuff'....for me it is now exercise, Minimins and facing my demons head on!
start a new job on July the 5th so hopefully will have lost something by then! congrats on your weight loss btw how much more do you have to lose?
Well 17lbs to get to my original goal....however...may move it down. Started at 20st 13lbs...wanted to get to 200lbs(14st 4lbs)....may move it to 14st(196lbs)
I am 6ft tall and wanted to get to a size 14...which I have done (still a bit tight)
I am mainly going with how my body feels/looks....but those number on the scales keep pulling me back!
xxxx

[jackietrew]

you have done incredibly well!! you should be (im sure you are) very proud of yourself! you seem to have such dedication! its nice to know im not the only person who finds it hard! because sometimes i feel so alone doing this, so glad i found this website! i need to lose 3 stone to get down to a healthy bmi but then my cdc told me i have to move onto higher calories, why is this? i would rather just stay on ss and lose the further 2 stone but intercept it with maybe add a meal once or twice a week xxxxxx

 

[Prettyfacebut?]

you so deserve this. Well done babe! I'm jumping around for you

Keep going - you rock!

Ahhh...thanks B...(We both Rock!!!)

How are you doing? I've been popping in and out, how was your picnic yesterday? I pass Greenwich Park on my way to work everyday!!
Were you going back to CD?
