Well done

Bloody hell missus, that's brilliant. My endorphins would kick in if I'd lost that much even without going to the gym!

Seriously though, what a fabulous achievement. Very well done. How much more do you want to lose? You can't need to lose as much as your ticker says, can you? With those cheekbones?

 

[smilerjen]

[CCPM]

Lol!! No, internet is broken at home so Im only able to come on at work!
Am exhausted today, went to the gym yesterday for an hour and a half, salsa for an hour last night (nerve-wracking and exhausting) and gym for an hour this morning!
It gets quite addictive this exercise malarkey!!

Hows you today?

I so do Karen, I always lose weight from my face first! Im a size 18-20 at the mo, at my biggest I was a 26-28. When I used to be a size 10 I weighed 10.4st so I carry the weight relatively well, still got about 5-6st to lose depending on how I feel! Its a daunting thought!
I need to check my ticker tho cos I havent updated it!
Hows the wedding plans coming along?

 

[RachelA]

Well done Rach you're doing great

Thanks M, Im getting quite addicted to the exercise stuff at the mo which is good, just dont like the early mornings!
Hows you?

I did ta, was really nervous cos I was going on my own etc, nearly bottled out but went to a pub for 3 voddies and diet coke, love dutch courage!! Went in and started off with the basic steps, only probs were that I was so hot and sweated like a pig! (gads!!) and the guy I ended up dancing with had feet that were more lefty than mine!! Will definately go back tho. They have a beginners class on Weds too so might do that as well.
You ever done it before?

 

[blackwidow]

no but wanted to start - not as brave as you though.. havent managed to make myself go on my own!!!

Thing is tho when you do get there, nearly everyone else is in the same boat. I couldnt believe how tiring it was tho, was shattered! Not used to walking in heels let alone dancing in them!!:8855:

Im doing fine M thanks, just been so busy at work and my internet isnt working at home, thankfully getting that fixed this weekend.
Ive been going to the gym 6 days out of 7 and eating when Im meant to so keeping very busy!
Hows things with you?

 

[RachelA]

Socialising is good sometimes.

I know I havent been posting much recently but I have been so busy what with work and my new exercise regime (tiring but worth it), that and my ruddy internet has cracked up! Thankfully that will be fixed soon.
A few weeks ago I was on a work night out and after the meal, a couple of us went on for a few drinks and ended up at a nightclub. Usually hate nightclubs but was quite drunk by this stage so wasnt too fussed. Had a great night and ended up meeting a few nice people too, something I havent done in ages.
I hadnt been out on a good night out for such a long time, usually felt too self conscious etc but for the first time in ages I felt confident and it must have shone through!
I ended up getting a guys phone number and we are going on a date this weekend! Im not expecting anything to come from it but if it does then its a bonus!
Went out again this weekend and met some great folk, have discovered that I actually like socialising and that people like me too. I got so many compliments, not just the way I look but also that I was fun, lovely, great to talk to etc. I usually find it hard to accept compliments but I did this time!
Looking forward to this weekend as I am off Friday and Monday, I have a friend from Milton Keynes coming up and Mum is taking the girls so its gonna be great!!!

 

[blackwidow]

aww that sounds fab - hope you have a lovely time Rach x

 

[RachelA]

Thanks Rach, I hope I have a great time, sure I will actually cos he's a nice guy, good conversation etc so I'll be happy to have him as a friend anyway!
