Yeah I really had to remember that quote on Monday when I was due to start cos I woke up thinking oh sure I'll just start tomorrow instead, then I remembered last winter waddling about like a snowman in all my layers and thought no way, not this year!

Good for you!! Please keep us posted!

Electriclilac that's bloody AMAZING! I'm currently a size 20 and going to New York at the end of November, I'm on day 4, now I know everyone's different but roughly what could I be by then? I'd be over the moon to be a 14!

I would have thought you could get to a size 14 by then no problem, At a guess i would say you could probably get to a size 12/10 it depends on how tall and muscly you are though it is a guess. I have lost 62 lbs in about the same time as you have before you go to new york and i had three weeks off... Stick at it keep your eye on the prize and you will be a skinny minx in no time x

daisy, my goodness you're certainly going through it I really hope you were able to get some sleep and that you can think clearer this morning. If not, I hope you can find a friend to talk to... us girls need to talk in a crisis xx Please email me if you need to ... I have MSN or Yahoo if that helps x Just please let us know you're OK.

Aw thanks a million girls, I got a decent enough sleep, my little one was very thoughtful and popped straight back asleep after night feeds, yeah I was speaking to my friends and my two best ones thought I was mad, that someone is better that nobody pretty much! His selfishness money wise etc has just shocked me recently, my mam died 6 weeks ago and he wasn't very supportive, but maybe I'm just not thinking straight cos its totm cos everyone thinks he's a saint. Enough of my moaning on the victory thread Day 5 here I am

:4635:Good morning lovlies! xx

Another non-scales-related benefit of LT that has taken me completely and pleasantly by surprise is that, after 23 years of nail-biting, I've suddenly got no desire to indulge in the awful habit any more! Must be to do with the dwindling urge to chew something!
Oooh and also I started swimming lessons last night which I've put off all my life due to severe swimsuit-itis!!!
Hope u are all winning today :angel09:

[KellyLinton]

I posted this in my diary but thought I'd share it here also. Well done everyone - it was great to read your success' that help inspire us all!


Was in London Yesterday to meet a friend and had a LOVELY time. Hadn't seen him since I started the TFR 5 weeks ago, so I was wondering if he may notice I'd lost 'a couple of pounds or so'.

Well success! He did, said I looked amazing and thought it was perhaps the best he had ever seen me! Actually said I'd clearly lost more than a 'few pounds'

Result ! arty0019:

Chuffed for you Ted.E.Bear! :happy036:
You'd better get used to the compliments! You deserve every one you get, well done :wow::wow::wow:

 

[Mrs jk]

Ted E Bear that's great!!n Sometimes these victories mean more than the number on the scale!!

 

[HappyNoodles]

Oh Ted e bear that's brilliant! Ok this isn't really really a scale or weight one at all but having had a horrendous night last night, I woke up to the smiling little face and messy hair of my beautiful baby go, I could honestly burst into little pieces with the love I have for her! I want to be able to take her on holidays, to aquatic centres, run around with her etc when she gets older, before I wanted to lose weight to look amazing still partly true but my mam died of lung cancer at 58 and I'm only 23 and with a massive bmi of 44 or something AND being a smoker its not looking good for me either, first the weight goes thermal the fags (im not wonderwoman) cos I couldn't bear to leave my baby girl mammyless and we've no other family. Never EVER been so determined!
