Hi, thanks, erm, I was only on s&s for 5 weeks, lost about 18lbs and the rest (about 38lbs if my maths is correct?) has been from a mix of CC and more recently JUDDD. 4lbs to go til my goal of 60lbs gone...although I'm already thinking about 70...ha

 

[TaraTeal]

You've done so well, I lost 48lbs on s&s this year, but piled most back on after my wedding! Can't believe how quickly it's flown on again tbh.

I am hoping to lose 60lbs by next june for when we go away on holiday, I got stuck in a diet rutt and thought I could only lose weight by massive restrictions like a vlcd but you and others are proof that simple stuff works too, I also think this way is better for being able to keep it off too!

 

[LauraLooLa]

Thanks. VLCDs are excellent for what they do and the boost s&s gave me when I was starting to get disheartened was fab, but they're not for me long term. Especially with where I'm at now, it's nice to be able to eat (and to not be scared of food!) and then reign it in the next day and know that I'm still going in the right direction.
You've got more than enough time to lose your 60lb by June going at a nice steady rate. You'll do fab. X

My little girl thinks she loves Halloween, she's not quite 3, I don't know if the dangling skeleton is going to be a step too far for her. Eek!

Happy Halloween!

Gah these sweets need to be gone! Although with the way I'm getting through them they soon will be

 

[LauraLooLa]

Does anyone else feel like every time they log on to MiniMins someone else is describing their gallstone hell??

Well...you can add me to the list!

Misdiagnosed IBS a few months ago has turned out to be gallstones. Had a hospital stay last month and an ultrasound last week, meeting the consultant next Monday, then as my doctor put it this afternoon me and my gall bladder 'will be parting ways shortly'. Hopefully before Xmas. Cannot wait for it all to be over! I've never known pain like it. Horrible few months, but hopefully getting somewhere now. X

Struggling big time at the mo. My willpower has left the building. Calorie counting more than anything, managed to keep myself in check yesterday. Just today and tomorrow then out on Saturday, I also plan on weighing in on Saturday morning. Might not though. Don't want it ruining my weekend!

On the plus side my waist this morning was 27", I started at 39"! Hips now 37" down from 49". X
