Ah why do i go all red in the face and put my head down when people tell me im losing weight?????? I honestly do not know how to handle a compliment like that maybe because i have never recieved one. None of my family in South Africa know im on this diet not cos im ashamed but because i want to suprise them in december but im thinking how am i going to cope with their comments when im 9stone lighter than the last time they saw me??? Hopefully by then i would have learned to recieve a compliment =D
Besides that today has been good i have been a machine on my water intake funny i have some days when i cant get enough and others when i have to force the last litre down im wierd =)

I find the compliments hard too and I find myself saying that I still have a long way to go instead of saying thankyou!!! Strange! Your family will get a massive shock when they see u in December but you will feel so fab by then u will be used to the compliments! That's my mission too I am seeing my cousin in august who I saw last September and I want to shock her, I refused to have photos with her new son as I knew they would end up on Facebook and stuff, when she asked me why I told her cos I am so huge so she politly told me to do something about it!!! Which I was then anyway but had only lost about a stone! So how fab would we feel shocking our family hey! That is a bit of motivation for us hey!!!

I say the exact same thing 'i still have a long way to go' instead of just accepting it and saying thanks very strange! Ah its nice someone else is also wanting to shock their family lol Your cousin is going to be stunned!!!!! My mom says she wishes she could see their faces cos their jaws are going to drop to the floor ha ha ha its defo one of my biggest motivators at the moment i keep picturing their reactions and i have a very special someone there he is my best friend and last year he told me he was in love with me at the size i was!!!!!!! Im so very much in love with him too So i CANT WAIT to get there being thin and having alot more confidence than before i dont want to tell him to keep the light off this time LOL

How funny! I haven't told my family either and will see them in July when I go back to the US for a visit. I think they will be really happy and pleased - especially my father who worries that I will have a heart attach or become diabetic. He's the reason I work out almost daily - it had done wonders for the lab results of my blood/urine and I did lose weight as well. Unfortunately, my body has gotten used to the workouts and I didn't change my eating habits, so ... CD!
Seems everyone had a good day today!

I have been doing some calculations and seeing as i am going on holidays mid sept i would like to be off CD by then and would obviously have done my maintenance weeks too so im thinking besides my week of 810 that i have to do after 12 weeks im going to be on ss until end july then use august and half of september to do the steps.. so if it is an average of a stone a month and im lucky enough to achieve this by end july i should of lost 8 stone which is not quite my goal i wana lose 9stone but dont want to go on holiday straight after ss without maintenace and i dont think il lose a whole stone on the steps but maybe half a stone which is fine i have no intention of pigging out after CD but im going to oktoberfest and then straight after a girly holiday for a week so hoping i can just use old fashioned method to get rid of the last few pounds (cal counting and exercise) before i head off to SA in dec... Does this sound like its a realistic aim??? or am i just kidding myself?? Its really important for me to do the maintenence steps before so is 7 weeks enough time for the steps? Sorry for the long post but just got off the phone with my friend about our hols so it got me thinking......

You sound like me! I'm forever planning ahead and trying to make sure everything's 'accounted' for in my head, it sounds like you have a good plan, and if you were to loose half a stone on the steps I'm sure that exercise and calorie counting would get you to where you need to be with that last 7lbs.
