YOU ARE GORGEOUS!!! And you are now slim with it!!! Slim and gorgoues!....I fail to see the problem with that love

Why not take it a week at a time

If I were you heres what Id do...I would stick to ww

The main thing is that you stop giving yourself such a hard time. you look bloody gorgeous I'm not just saying it to make you feel better - YOU REALLY DO LOOK WONDERFUL!!!

Just take each day at a time from now on - anything you lose from now is just a bonus - you already look fabulous - BE PROUD!!

X X X X X X X

Oh and if I can hijack your thread for a moment Nikki.

Marie read back on the bits above, taken from your own post. Read it again and practise what you preach. ALL of that is totally true about you as well you know

*HUGS*

Hi Nikki,

You have so much going on at the moment im sure your head is turned! I think that you have lost your perspective on all this which is not surprising with all the stress you are under. First and most of all you are GORGEOUS and should you not lose another gram you will be a stunning bride. In my opinion I think you have already got "there" and any more weight off will be just a bonus. I know that you want to get to that number on the scale that tells you that you have officially got to goal but its just a number! You are a size 12 and stunning - you are an inspiration to me and everyone on here and you need to relax and give yourself some credit. As for all of the exercise I think that it may add to your stress and ultimately make you feel worse. We all get those days - give yourself a day or two and you will feel better.


HUGS
Axxx

Nikki Sorry Your Feeling So Down.you Are Normally So Bubbley.you Have Got So Much Goin On In Your Life So Done Beat Yourself Up.
You Look So Beautiful And You Will Look Stunning Walking Down The Aisle.

Nikki, I can only repeat what everyone else has said! You have done AMAZINGLY well. Try and remember how you felt back in the beginning when you started WW. I bet you would have killed to be a size 12, i know i would!
It is easy to forget how well you have done, and get caught up in meeting goals. Often these goals are just a random number on the scales. From other posts you have written, I know that you were having trouble deciding what your final goal should be. It must be so tempting to try and see how much further you can go, but it also must drive you crazy when it takes ages getting there! Just KNOW that you are already there in my opinion (and everyone else's by the sound of it!). You will be a beautiful bride, no matter what the scales say
Isn't it crazy how number on the scales can dictate how we feel about ourselves? If it were my decision, I would stick to WW and look as whatever else I lose as a bonus. Maybe try a different type of exercise to shake things up a bit. I know it's expensive but you could think about hiring a personal trainer for a few sessions (maybe with a couple of friends to split the cost?). You'd be amazed at the results you can get and it may help kickstart an extra loss and make you feel more toned on the big day. That alone can make a HUGE difference.
Stick to the plan while you think things through, and be sure to keep posting!

hope your feeling better nikkix

Nikki I just wanted to ditto what everyone else has said and I have the kickstart book if you want me to send it to you just pm me your address.

I think VLCD are fab as I have done cambridge but I really never saw it as a LIFE long eating plan.

I really admire you for doing so well on ww as I know I couldn`t have stuck with it for that long ( impatient Annie me )
But you really are so close now, as Mike from cd would say "eyes on the prize" xx

 

[Starlight]

Nikki I hope youre feeling better.

Get back & let us know how youre doing

[to lose long trek]

We are all on here with a common goal and this forum rocks when it comes to a strong support group. I meet up with my counsellor every two weeks because it suits me (at the moment) but boy I wouldn't be without this wonderful site as I walk the path to a lighter me. You can visit anytime day or night and to fit in with your own schedule ...... what better support group could you possibly have. August is a wonderful month for a wedding. Make this YOUR year by achieving these goals. We are all with you.

How are you Nikki?

 

[NikkiH]

:thankyou:Oh Guys, thank you so, so much for all your support, help and lovely messages – it has really meant the world to me! :thankyou:

I’m sorry I haven’t been on in a while, there is a fault on the line at home so its really, really slow, I could read the posts but would take hours to post back and things have been crazy at work – been out most of the week at meetings etc..

Ok, so bear with me because this is probably going to be a long one!!!

Firstly, Marie – I knew that you would be straight here when I needed you x :hug99:thank you so much pet for taking the time to write such a long and supportive post, its looks like so much thought went into it and I really appreciate it. Although I didn’t reply, I did read it last week and you don’t know how much it helped lift my mood! I know I must sound silly when I’m now a 12 – I would have killed to be that this time last year BUT I’m a big 12 – honestly!! I don’t know how I’m possibly fitting into the clothes – I definitely, definitely don’t look a 12. It was so lovely, what you wrote regarding your wedding, thank you for that – its so, so true. Xxxx You completely sold me away from the VLCD when you pointed out about the crunchies!! Lol!! (Although, I’ve moved on to Cadbury crème eggs now!!)

Starlight – thank you so much too, :hug99:I knew you would be about with loads of help – I know your right about the setting a high target, I am setting myself up for disappointment and the way I’m feeling at the minute, I don’t want to make myself feel bad/ worse even if I continue to loose just not “that” amount – if you know what I mean. I totally forgot about Raudi!!!!! That’s a really good point!! – am laughing too at how did I get the 6.2 figure LOL :giggle:!!! (I’m not crazy, a friend drove the same walk in her car to judge the miles) I know Im close, and I deserve a kick in the bum for moaning so much, I felt quite insensitive after I re read my own post – you have continued to work away without a whimper!! And I know you have a bit to go (but you wont feel it the way you’re going mate!!) I felt really bad xxx. You’re so right about the VLCD – it’s not the answer, not for me anyway. You don’t know how much you did do to help. X :flowers:

Oh and I would second 100000000000 times what you said to Marie about taking her own advice!!!! – MARIE!!! YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW FABULOUS YOU ARE!!!rincess:rincess:rincess:rincess:rincess:

Andi,
Thank you so much – You said so many things that really rang through with me – that is exactly it – I need to get to that number on the scale that tells me that I’ve officially got to goal – but your right, it IS just a number – I need to try and get that into my head. You’re such a pet xx thank you for taking the time to reply. :thankyou:

Paula, you would do anyone good!! I don’t know about that! But thank you for saying such lovely things! xxxx:thankyou:

Bexie,
Oh, you’re so right – last year I really would have killed to be a 12 – I actually never ever imagined it happening! Never!! But seriously, as I said earlier – I don’t know how I'm fitting those clothes! Yep, the number on the scales… the number of my BMI.. It dictates everything to me!! It’s ridiculous! Thank you so much Bexie, you have been great.
:flowers:
Sazzy!!!, I’m laughing at how sweet you are!!! Thank you so much for that offer – I can’t believe how nice that is!!! (I’m fine now though – have got a bit of info xx). “Eyes on the prize”… hmm.. I really like that one!! Thank you pet xx
:hug99:
To lose long trek, everything you said it so, so right – I’m so lucky to have found this forum – I know for a fact that there is no way that I would have got this far without all the support and help on here. Thank you!! Xxx

Petal,
Thank you so much for thinking of me!!

Oh guys, I’m so sorry for writing the post and running off the way I did. I feel all warm and fuzzy (LOL) with how lovely everyone has being to me. :grouphugg:

I won’t lie – I’m still feeling impatient but the same impatience of any of us on a diet or with a goal weight – it’s normal. I did have quite a down week but I’m feeling so, so much better.

I did decide to increase my exercise – but like you had advised not to the extreme, :chores016:I walked 5 miles with OH Tuesday night, Pilates Wednesday, walked 2.5 mile and RAN the other 2.5 with OH Thursday night!! (me??? Running!!!!! I cant believe that!), Friday I had a break, Saturday I walked 4.5, Sunday had a Break, Last night walked 3 and ran about 2.

I feel great. I have pushed myself to be honest but I feel so much better.

Kickstart didn’t happen – I just couldn’t imagine living on so little points at the minute (I could manage 18 points a day but I was thinking about the saving part for my Dominos on a Friday night - priorities!! lol!!) But because I was all worked up to do Kickstart at 18 points a day, when I decided against it, I know feel like I’ve loads of points a day.. If that makes any sense????? (20 per day now) OH also pointed out that if I were to increase my exercise dramatically and cut down so much on what I was eating my body could take it badly as I was effectively burning off way more but eating less all of a sudden and it may not be the brightest thing to do.

I lost 3lbs this week so I’m really happy. :bliss: I’m now officially after loosing over 6 stone (6stone 1lb to be exact) and I’m in the 11’s (11 stone 13lbs) so that has helped to perk me up so, 84lbs down 20lbs to go though…. Ill get there – slowly but surely. Am going for my walk with OH tonight, I’m really enjoying the time we’re getting together too, usually at home there is some distraction, the telly on or something – at least this way we just end up chatting. It’s lovely.

Just want to say again thank you so much to everyone for all your help. Xxxxxx it meant a lot. I hope your all well and fighting fit!!

You have all been fantastic xxx

 

[paula 36]

Glad your feeling better lovey you have done so well mate and should be proud of yourselfxx

 

[NikkiH]

ah thank you both xx

Marie, is'nt it so weird??? (same weight - different size) what height are you?
My Aunt was the same weight as I was a couple of months ago at 13.7 and I was in a 14, she was in an 18 (I am 2 inches taller though) its funny though, cos I was a size 14 at 14 stone which is crazy really!!!! Ive an odd body like that - I always weigh alot more than I should for whatever size Im wearing, yet I look bigger even though the clothes fit (if that makes any sense - I mean, Im wearing a 12 and not cramped into them, actually many getting loose YET I look soooooo much bigger!!!) (I suppose I look as big as I weigh then?!) sorry .. Im thinking out loud...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx hope your all having a great day, have Pilates tonight so will pop in later for a proper update xxxx

 

[paula 36]

Hi Guys,

So sorry have'nt been on properly or caught up on anyones diary. In work now and just grabbing a few seconds of posting before lunch. Have no internet at home My laptop just died completely so dont know what Im going to do.

Sh*tty week, loads went wrong, my car ended up costing me almost €600 to fix and 2 days later some cow banged into the side of me (banged my head on window!!) and drove off!! no damage on car though, thank God!!!. Computer died, dryer on the way out now something wrong with our heating at home - heats the house but wont heat the water!! grrr (thankfully have an electric shower) but I love the odd bath and have to boil kettle for dishes etc... ANYWAY ... Im not letting any of that get to me because as I sit here Im in size 10 trousers!!!!!!!

Ok, Im not officially a 10, all of my other clothes are a 12,

They are from A wear which Im convinced is a "size up" anyway

The top Im wearing is a 12

but the point is the label says SIZE 10!!!!!!!!! so it has me in a really good mood!!.

Did I tell you I got bridesmaids dresses?? - have just over 25 weeks to go... better get moving!! - am making my own invitations (I know, Must be crazy) so am starting that tomorrow night now that I have the bridesmaids colour...

house coming on too.. 12 weeks maybe?? fingers crossed. Might stick a few photos up for you all to see soon.

Hope you are all having a fantastic week, promise to catch up soon xxx
