pounds to lose by may 2011(everyone welcome!)

[Miss Mango]

Thanks miss mango for the rep..
we shall be slinky malinkys for sure ....thats great that the shorts are beginning to look good... not long now and the extra pounds will be off in no time...shame you cant flaunt them sooner as its middle of winter...well i suppose you could but you will freeze ....might just call for a last minute holiday

thanks babes..I love minimins too.. i love the way we are all doing it together and we know how each other feels... and we can encourage each other to keep motivated which is exactly what i need...and im sure what lots of us need.....

just looked at one of your tickers...ceasing to be a tubbylump....pmsl lmao!!!!! ...love that word!!!... xxxx

I just found this so just to confuse you tomorrow I shall answer it now

I am a Geordie and so therefore I shall flaunt my legs at any season once they are skinny enough to flaunt I shall get my bucket and sponge out and go wash the car even if its -5 outside! Hahahaha! We don't wear coats us lot

I know I need motivation and enouragement as well as support and this place always gives all 3 - plus I feel I've made some good little pals on here too which is nice.

Haha yes I like the word Tubbylump too - its as bad as my pink elephant tale isn't it - so I knew I just had to include the word Tubbylump somewhere to describe myself I am my own worst critic X

 

[Miss Mango]

i have silly images of baby ellie the elephants in my head now... if i dream of tehm im blaming you...

ooh ooh youre all excited because youre extra motivated and your excited about how you will feel when you attach the picture to every cupboard,,and know that you wont be drawn into eating unhealthy foods..

thats fantastic that you havent had them in that long.. you know they say it only takes ten days to break a habit,,not sure how much i believe that ,but its meant to be true so therefore you have broken your habit ...
yaaaaayyyyyyy...righty im off to bed long day of college tomorrow..im off to dream about elephants and how i dont want to be one ...nighty night ...xx

Now I'm imagining you having dreams of elephants like the dreams that Dumbo had when he was drunk - I'll bet those pink elephants were dancing and playing tunes with their trunks all night in your dreams and all because of me

Yes I think that is why I'm excited, I can't flaming well sleep tonight (story of my life) so I am therefore sitting on the internet posting allkinds of inane garbage Me cupboards are now decorated - I'll add some tinsel to make it more festive

Hope you have a good nights sleep and those elephants didn't leave any footprints in ya butter x

Baby Elephants Unite!

Love the idea of using pics for motivation. I think I read somewhere once that it's more motivating to use skinny pics rather than fat pics. Something to do with positive rather than negative reinforcement and all that. This of course is all dependent on whether we actually have skinny pics of ourselves to use! I've rooted out one or two of me in my debs dress, all of 14 years ago (god I feel old!). I don't think I want to see a miserable fat pic of me everytime I go for the fridge. Would probably just dive into the chocolate!

Good luck to us all whatever pics we decide to use xx

I on the other hand have been really bad..i ate lots of yummy stuff yesterday which was silly,, as im doing so well on this diet,,but instead of feeling sorry for myself or wallowing ive moved on... ive decided that if i slip up i slip up....and not to dwell on it...must get back on track and fess up and move on...so yaay for moving on and a clip round the ear for being silly.

hopefully my weigh in wont be affected much as i still have till monday to make up for it..100percent until then!!

how is everyone getting on?? even more snow here its crazy!xx

 

[Leeanne910]

Today was my wi day so will just be good till next Wednesday. Ee 100% till next Wednesdays wi then week after doom a fishy week! Gonna be 100% till Xmas eve now!!!!

 

[syren]

I can't believe how much snow the UK is getting.. that's awesome We just started snow flurries this morning (i'm southern Canada) as soon as it starts we'll be dumped on for months.. not so much fun.

I'm 100% so far and did 3 hours at the gym last night.. my husband (who i've just separated from) ticked me off.. lol.. so rather than sit on the couch eating 2 gallons of icecream like i would have done in the past, I worked out my frustrations at the gym instead.. I'm *hoping* for a good loss this week.. staying focused !

Good luck to everyone.. it's mid week.. so no slips !

 

[cat_1977]

Think I might have a wii day too as the weather here is only getting worse. Have avoided cabin fever by making my way into college, only to find the whole place is shutting down at 2. Even less hope of getting out for a run as the days progress & roads get snowier & icier. If it goes on like this my trip to Liverpool on Fri won't happen either

So it's warm comforting 0 point soups and indoor exercising for me for the time being, tho the dogs might have something to say about that.

Keep snug and warm everyone xx

 

[pudge]

Syren..youre all the way over in canada!!!!! gosh i love what the internet can do ... yes no slips now... must keep focused!


well done on not vegging out on the couch... the little changes make permanent changes remember. fingers crossed for a good loss for you this week

Hey hun, I missed you on here when you were absent!

I'm getting on great with my diet but am sick to the back teeth of this damned snow. The A1 was pure ice today at Washington and I need that road to get to where I'm going the next few days - they had better sort it and get it cleared and gritted, thats what our damn taxes are for afterall! Disgrace! It was literally like an ice rink.

I can't really move very far out the house as quite snowed in So its giving me plenty of time to get a load of exercises done. Really annoying though as this was due to be my busiest week.

Welcome to the thread all newcomers - we're a grand lot in here X

Really want to break the 16 stone barrier this week... so going to ensure I do 30 minutes of hard core cardio a day! Plus, the trainer's quite cute on the DVD and so cheeky - love it!

 

[pudge]

Ty pudge - I am doing ok - like everyone else I have good days and bad days. I have my daughter staying with me just now and she can eat whatever she likes - so that makes it hard - but I will do this.

Yes we have a lot of snow here - had 3 days off in a row now. About time to get back to work lol!

You are doing very well - you seem very motivated .

 

[SammyE]

Well done everyone! And welcome lass!

Im still just plodding along... my loses on Exante really arent that fantastic because I keep falling off the wagon, although what Im eating isnt bad food, Im still probably under 800cals a day but it seems to mess up my loses big style.

I worked out the other day if Im 100% on exante for 14 weeks and lose 3lbs a week (which is easily doable on this diet) I would hit goal, 14 weeks is no time at all... but when you've been doing food replacement for 6 months, it becomes a struggle... and frustrating because if I had of stuck to it 100% I could be very near goal by now... oh well cant be too hard on myself I've still lost 50lbs in 6 months.

 

[pudge]

hey sammy i know how you feel, i could have been at goal already if i had done this diet earlier etc... glad youre still at it.. and at least your not eating bad food..
i know this diet is hard especially now as its so cold and were stuck inside but i guess we just have to keep at it..it will be worth it..
3lbs a week is very doable,, keep your focus, you have done amazingly so far... hugs xxx
