Just back from weigh in - bit disappointed as was hoping for a big loss. 6lbs off - shouldn't grumble though - think its the frustration of whenI did Rosemary Conley I was losing 4lbs a week to start off with and eating proper food.... Then again it is nearly half a stone - (Mini get a grip!!!).

Well done Mini!!! :happy096: That's great. I totally understand what you mean about the 'big loss expectation' but like you say, that's almost 1/2 a stone - in one week!!! Don't be disheartened, hun. Stick at it and you'll see the results you're looking for quicker than you imagine.

In the meantime, give yourself a big pat on the back and celebrate with a facial/manicure/new lipstick/splash of perfume just because you can/taking 1hr of time just for you and nobody else... xx

Well.... Hope youve had a good morning shrinks and a big good afternoon to all now. Been busy all morning. Went to see my cdc this morning as had a few concerns and she hadnt measured me the last time either...(coz she was in a rush ) Anyway... I was suppose to see her at 9.30 but got there 15 mins early and she was sitting in her front garden having a huge bowl of strawberries n cream . She quickly said its her sons bowl (I did see her scoffing it :busted: ) and told me she lost 8lbs last wk. (She looked bigger then before) I mean it doesnt get any better, does it. I know im not to mention food but last wk when i saw her she was sitting dunking choc digestives in her tea and quickly made a lame attempt to hide em when i walked in . Nevermind.... if shes wanting to get fatter n bigger for summer, its her choice then :8855: . It would however be more motivating and helpful if my cdc was fit n healthy.... she is BIGGGG!

Anyway... Ive lost 2inches from my waist, 1" from chest and thighs. 2" from hips and 1" from arms. So even if my weight hasnrt gone down im cool knowing i have gone down in size. Also, I'll be going onto 810 from next wk as im nearly in the normal bracket now.... so all good news for me. Im one happy bunny today

Its all a mind game guyz.
Happy Cding.

Ok, first off, brill, brill, brill results!!! You must be sooooo smiley!!!:angel09:

Secondly, do CD do quality checks on their CDC's??!! To be honest, I could probably cope with the fact that a CDC was overweight (not the most inspiring and wouldn't think it would get her good results in terms of marketing her business). But, what really annoys me about what yours is doing, is that she sounds like she's telling you she is making a conscious effort to lose weight, but still eating things you couldn't possibly say were part of any CD plan!! That's just plain wrong! And apart from anything else, doesn't sound like she cares very much about her clients' mental wellbeing or she'd make sure she wasn't wafting food under their noses when they come round!

Sorry, will get of me soapbox now!:soapbox:

I just think that people find this diet difficult enough and need all the support they can get, so when a CDC behaves like that (and don't even get me started on the whole 'in a rush so can't measure etc' thing!) it's just not fair.

Ok, promise, soapy rant over!

And finally - you're a wee star for lots of things, but the 2 I'll mention just now are:
1 - the effort you've put in and the results you're now seeing
2 - the brilliant quotes from today!

REEEEENNNNNNAAAAAAA....... Its up to you babe and pls dont mind me screaming....BUT THERE IS NO TOMMORROW AND NO SUCH THING AS A MONDAY START! You really need to sit down and have a good chat with yourself and right down the reasons why you wanna do this. I totally understand your in such a hard situation...kids, oh home, cooking, flu n cold, totm etc.... but babe its never gonna be an ideal situation for you, there will always be one thing or the other. You need to focus and dig out the will power i know you have.

xx

Oh my goodness - scary FFBT! You are soooo the woman I'm calling when I'm in need of a good talking to! lol

Well said! Reena - just look back at the Power Tune for today - we all want the same thing and we're gonna help each other get it. Definitely stay on here and don't pick!!! siholog: We're always here to help

You mean your OH doesn't already know you're completely mad?!?!!? I thought you'd been seeing each other for more than a fortnight! :silly:

I've been fine today, thanks, Sunshine. Conference was a bit strange, but fine. I drove my boss back along the motorway for an hour with my top down... car, of course! Was very lovely, although the windswept and interesting look is not one of my best! lol :drivesaint00:

Had a bit of a weak moment 30mins or so ago and wanted to eat something, but thought of the Shrinklies and persuaded myself that a pedicure was a much more productive use of time, so sitting here waiting for my tootsies to dry

Are you loving your new haircut? Looking forward to seeing the before and after pics!

I took a leaf out of your book tonight and had a mini wardrobe clear out. So, I now have trousers I know fit and a few pairs that I'll try on again at the end of the SPC as I think most of them should fit fine by then! The charity shops must love the Shrinklies!!!
