starting again after a 2 month break

[melissa85]

hi guys n dolls,

well i originally started cd ss in january and struggled from day 1 but i kept trying and lost almost 3 stone, i planned to come off it for my holiday in august but never quite managed to get back in to it and ive gained 1.5 stone.

im restarting it on tuesday but this time i have no pressures, my last goals were my holiday and fitting in to a bridesmaid dress which instead of spurring me on they hindered me, whenever i fell off the wagon i felt dreadfully guilty and kept telling myself ill never make my goals which in turn caused me to have a "what the heck ive ruined it now anyway" attitude.

these events have now passed and im doing for myself now, not a dress or a holiday but for my own happiness.

i cant wait to get back in to it i know it will be tough but im glad i have all the support from you guys xxx

This very much mirrors my situation. Im a Best Man at my mates wedding in 2 weeks time, and I had to slim down for a nice suit. Unfortunately, I didnt get going on the diet so havent lost the weight. oh well. Im thinking that after the wedding, I, too, am doing it for myself so can really focus (hopefully), and will aim to lose 3-4 stone by xmas. Best of luck Melissa.

hi all

well day one nearly over will be going to bed in a couple of hours as am up for work at 3am so dont have to worry bout cravings whilst watching tv. i have had a couple of cups of white coffee mainly cos it warms me up i get very cold the first few days of ss and i cant take it black (yuk) i will gradually cut it out cant see it doing much damage seeing as ive cut out a few thousand calories. anyhoo will post tomorrow,

good luck everyone xx

Good I do feel positive at the mo. I have a big goal ahead of me - party and shopping in UK (you don't know how lucky you are with shops!!). So if I stick to it, I should get to goal by end of November.
Going to wow one of my best friends and lots of family who I haven't seen since size 18/20. Am now in size 12 jeans and looking for 10 stone as goal.

How does everyone find next? Are their sizes on the 'just right' small or big side of things in comparison to other shops? Just like to dream of the clothes I'll be looking at in the UK and what by body size is really and what it will be when I finish.

 

[melissa85]

where are you living at mo? god i would love to be a size 12 again cant wait to get there.

next i find are quite small, river island i find the sizes are quite good

 

[melissa85]

[flowey]

Never shopped in riverisland as always seemed on the small side. Now quite

I am venturing back onto the diet today, just sitting down to my first meal. I am a porrdige man(cinnamon), I lost 2 1/2 stone last time up until May. I went to Florida on holiday and kept the weight off for a few months but over the last month and a half I have put it all back on . I have half heartedly tried to get back on previously but failed. Today is the day though where I do it for good. I'm planning a ten week stint up until the week before Xmas. Wish me luck!!:wave_cry:

Hello! Been following your progress and find all your posts inspiring. Had a few weeks off the diet (all went too well to start with!) and after a week full of bread, cheese and sugar I'm going out hard tomorrow. No turning back...dread the next three days. But feel motivated!
