Sugar Plum Fairies

Blossom - thats brilliant news, if you lost that every month ......

I'm glad most of us are still here to chat!

Well am still having one salade with Tuna per day with my shakes. From guessing, I'd say I was probably just over on ss+ but having less than 790. This was making me feel guilty/cheating at first, but today I've had another manic day with no breaks (until now - 11pm here) but have felt ok. Before on just shakes, I'd feel exhausted and a bit ill/under the weather. But am okay today, think doing this and gradually working towards an atkins (low fat) diet ready for my hols is what I'm going to do.

I'm off a week on Saturday and am very excited. My only worry is I've ordered some size 14 jeans from next. They should come before hols, but what if they don't fit and I've eaten salads and not 100%ed it on shakes to get them done up. Will hope and prey and let you know.

Well my weigh-in went well today. See signature. So am pleased!!

No-mercy. I think you can only do what you can do. If you have to eat a meal just make the right choices, its your diet and choice to blow it or try your very best in a hard situation. From what you've said, you've thought about it in advance and made good desicions on how you'll react. This is what will keep you at target when you get there. You are learning how to react now for the future and you shouldn't feel guilty about eating on these occasions, be proud on how you are learning to deal with it all. Well done in advance.

On a last note. I must apologise for my spelling. 1) I'm a cr*p typer... 2) now I am writing and speaking French a lot, I'm forgetting how to spell english, as I never write it anymore for anything. This is a bit weird huh! I also write lots of random words in French and have to re-read my post searching for these strange random words. My son does it in his natural speak to us and he knows lots of words in french he doesn't know the english word for. Sorry I just find this a bit strange but amusing - how our brains work hey!
 
Ok changed sig. to ticker as getting head round home stretch now!
My loss was 1.7 kgs this week (or 3.7lbs ) v.happy.
 
hey flowey, dont worry I have the same problem - I grew up speaking gujarati and english, and despite being fluent in both languages, there sometimes just arent the words to find direct translations... strange isnt it...also, do you find that alot of the times your thoughts are in french too? I think the worse thing i do is in the middle of having a conversation with someone, just throw in a gujarati word without even realising! lol
 
Well done Blossom and Flowey. You have both had fantastic losses. You should be so chuffed.:happy096:

I cant wait until my weigh in now.lol! Although the longer it is the more I might lose.

Did anyone take before pics, I did, I might put them on when im at target. I might take some pics this week again just to compare myself. I looked in the mirror and hardly recognised myself today. Im really noticing the loss now.

I had my last exam today, boy an I glad they are over with and I got through it without cheaking. I didnt think id do it but I have. I just hope I pass now. Argh the wait!lol!

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend and stay on track as best you can this week. x
 
:( I'm having a few days off.... things are getting really stressful and I've had another migraine which is the 2rd one this month and they are getting worse everytime and believe me they are bad enough as it is! I took Imigrin this afternoon and it not worked so I'm going to see if I can get in the doctors tomorrow. I dont know if its something in the shakes triggering them or just lack of food and stress at the moment.

I definaltely want to carry on but maybe SS is not right for me at the moment. Its bloddy typical though, I find something that actually works and I end up ill!! :cry:
 
Blossom - its ok. When you are ill its really tough. My dad suffers migraines and also has them right now. I know it puts him to bed which is really amazing as he is not an ill man in any other way, usually has more energy than me.
Do you remember I couldn't shake a really bad cold. I had 2 days off because it made me feel soooo unwell. Just try not to comfort eat because of your migraines, try to choos sensibly and when all is well, come back to it.

I think there are only a select few who are able to go weeks non-stop on this diet. There are more like me that take the odd week off. But I ALWAYS come back to finish what I've started. Don't feel bad you are taking time off but please try to get back here to finish what you've started as you were doing so well.

I think if you were really serious about coming back on the diet, you should still come chat here as much as you can, even when you are not dieting. I think if you stop even thinking about it, it will take longer and longer to get started again and you may not get brilliany fairies to chat to! (Sorry, this is only my opinion off course)

Don't feel too bad though, deal with one thing at a time, you need to be strong and focussed on this diet.
 
Becky - well done on finishing your exams. What a weight of your mind. Well done aswell for sticking to the diet whilst studying, you should be proud and will enjoy the summer all the more for this.
 
Hi everyone, well done on your loss flowey you're nearly there now....well i've cheated too last night and tonight, i had a steak tonight and some tuna last night, so not too bad really...funny how it makes you feel so guilty though??!!!

I'm feeling a little bit down in the dumps today, think everything has hit me with my ex etc..men eh? They've got so much to account for!!!:thinking2::grumble:

Have decided not to see my CDC tomorrow b4 i go out on friday :7834:cos if i have put on any weight it'll just make me not enjoy my meal.:party0036::eating:

I'm going to try and get back on the diet maybe sunday or monday but definitely not going to have the week off i had planned to have...i will soldier on to the end lol

Flowey i have just ordered an atkins book (cost me 20p off ebay) and am going to see what that's like and how you do it etc..purely for after i finish CD.

Oh yeah and well done Becky for getting through your exams, fingers crossed for you.

Catch up with you soon ladies take care x x
 
Blossom- sorry we are losing you for a while, come back soon! I get migranes and as soon as I start to get a headache I take something, the worst thing is waking up with a bad head, its like a hangover. Not nice. Make sure you keep taking some tablets throughout the day to keep on top of it and have a nap. I can totally empathise with how rotten you feel, I have been in tears before now. Sometimes different people have different triggers, I get them just before storms especially. Weird I know, stress, certain lights do it etc... You need to make sure your eyes are checked etc too. Sometimes the doctor gets you to keep a diary. Make sure you arent dehydrated either. Let us know how you get on.

Hope- When is your actual birthday. I might do something for mine now the exams are out of the way. Like a little post biirthday drinks or something. I wont be drinking alcohol though. I just like getting together with my mates. I think your plan sounds really good. Have a short break then stick to it next week instead of having a whole week off. I hope you have a brill night out and it lifts your spirits.

Hows life now Flowey, are things a little quieter for you. I wish I could speak a second language like you and No Mercy. just rely on everyone speaking English. I do try and learn a bit of the languages when im on holiday as I think it iis only polite.

Stay postive everyone. Your targets are nearer than you realise. Although im looking forward to my holiday and the break im not looking forward to the setback with my weight. Im determined to get to my goal though! x
 
Morning all,
Well i had to go to bed last night as i felt so sick, not sure if it was anything to do with me eating that steak but i felt absolutely awful!! :9529:

Back on the diet today and i'm sort of dreading my night out now cos i don't want to end up feeling like i did last night!! :ambulance:

Becky my birthday :bday: is tomorrow i'll be 39 years young :eek:

I wish i could speak a foreign language too, we went to Nice last year on holiday "Promenade des Anglais" it was beautiful and the french women are all so thin!!! :jelous:
My son wants to learn french too, he is currently studying German at school and doesn't do french til next year..he's in his first year at high school...so we will study it together.

I've never felt so well as i have on this diet (confession::secret: i suffer with m.e. i know i'm naughty not to tell my CDC :copon:but i didn't want her to talk me out of it:asskick:) so am going to definitely stick to it until i reach my goal..then i will slowly wean myself back into SS+ and beyond.

I also get weather pressure headaches and can always tell when it's going to change, have only ever had one migraine and it was not pleasant so i sympathise totally Blossom :hug99:, hope you feel back up to scratch soon x x

Have a fab day ladies, i'll be panic buying later as i can't find anything to wear for tomorrow (i say that every time i go out) so i'll catch up with you whenever.

:grouphugg:
 
Hiya,

I'm not gone forever! Was a little naughty but I dont feel too bad because I'm gonna get back on track today.

I've suffered with migraines since I was little and they seem to have been getting more frequent and worse since being on CD. So I've been the docs this morning and he said that my blood suger levels might be too low because of CD and thats whats triggering them. Plus I was on the wrong type of pill so hes changed that.

He said to try eating with the CD and that if that didnt work he would refer me to the NHS dietician because it was clear I need to lose weight. I was like er thanks v much like thats not obvious!

So my new plan is to keep on but do SS+ and see if that helps so you'll be stuck with me for a while longer ladies!! :p
 
oh gees - im sorry if i miss anyone in this post - bit rushed at work! :(
Becky - its such a nice feeling to finish exams isnt it? lol Although I have more in November :(

Blossom - its ok to take a break hun - ur health comes first at the end of the day! :) big hug!

Flowey - well done on the loss hun (forgot to say it the other day) - have my wi tonight! fingers crossed! :) Youre doing so well and I love your attitude that you do keep coming back! :)

Hope - youve been through a lot, its totally understandable, but I admire your strength :) - Id probably crumble and become a right mess :( but then we each have different qualities unique to us all, and amongst other qualities, strength is evidently one of yours! Keep soldiering on! :)

ok know i havent fully caught up but the damn phone beckons! hugs to all and will try and catch up later! :)
 
No Mercy- I have exams in November too :( Thats in the next academic year so im not thinking about that yet. Im just looking forward to the rest of the summer! What are you studying?

Be sure to let us know how your WI goes, good luck but imsure you will do fab.

Glad you are staying with us Blossom, sometimess Dr's dont think about what they are saying, but I suppose at least he/she offered you help. Mine just tell me I need to lose weight then send me on my way. I kinda feel like who are they to criticise if they arent going to offer advice or support.

Hope- Have a Brilliant Birthday!

Well the sun is shining so im going to hang out some washing.lol! :cool:
 
omg! Hope-have a fantastic birthday! i swear Im so blonde at the moment (no disrespect intended to blondes lol)

Becky - Im studying for Chartered Tax Advisory examinations - I thought it would be fun to be a tax specialist lawyer though lord knows what the hell possessed me to think that! lol
 
It sounds interesting but difficult.lol! So are you a qualified lawyer now and specialising in that. Or when you are dong your main course do you specialise then. Not sure if it works like Medicine where you get your qualification then go into a specialist area. I hope that makes sence.lol!

My brain is fried with this last few weeks and needs a little rest I think. I couldnt sleep last night as I knew we were getting grades for essays today and I was sure I failed. I never, I did quite well to my surprise. I hope I cn sleep tonight as Im so so tired.:(

PS, im blonde and naturally this colour and im not offended. Its usually the bottled ones that give us a bad name.hehehehehehehe!
 
Just had a chuckle at all your posts thanks for wishing me a good birthday girls, I'm sure i'll have a good one.

Becky and No Mercy you're just too intelligent for words!!

No Mercy thank you for the kind things you said, I think i tend to bury things and not let them get me down initially, but they always come to the surface eventually...this time i know having lost so much weight the ex issue will be so much easier to stay positive about...besides the girl he cheated on me with has a face like a robber's dog :rotflmao: and i believe she's not a very nice person either (she can't be to go with someone else's man), so who's the loser in this scenario...not me!!!

well done Becky for passing your essays i hope you sleep like a baby tonight with that pressure off

Blossom i hope you're feeling loads better soon, glad you're not going anywhere, i agree with flowey about still coming on the forum even if you're not 100% on the diet.

Speaking of flowey hope you're ok too.

I'm off to try and find something to wear for tomorrow night :argh:, like i can be bothered!!! lol

Catch up with you all soon x x x
 
well peeps - another 8lbs gone! :) 4 weeks down, 6 weeks to go and then my holiday and then slimming world! :)

Becky - Im a qualified lawyer but by doing the CTA exams I become dual qualified and am classed a specialist! dull or what! lol But generally its not essential, its just me being a geek and wanting a few more letters after my name, plus it gives me something to fall back on if i ever decide to quit law! :(

Hope you have more strength than you give yourself credit for! now go shop! every girl needs a new outfit for her birthday (im hoping this year Richard Gere decides to take me shopping on Rodeo Drive, but I think ill be waiting a long time - Julia Roberts gets all the luck! lol)

anyway back to work!

sx
 
Wow! 8lb, thats fab. Id be shuffed with that. I get weighed in the morning, dont think ill do quite that well.lol! You will be at target in no time.

Well done no mercy with the studying, think ill be sick by the end of my course as I have already done a Podiatry degree, luckily I had 3 years out of studying when I worked for the health service. Sometimes I think im crazy putting myself through the stress but I do love it and im sure it will be worth it.

Sounds like you are doing the same as me, im going back to slimmingworls too, im going to join when I have about 1/2 stone to target then keep going.lol!

I hope everyone is keeping Ok, what did you decide to do Blossom are you ss plusing it now?

Hope - have a great night out and enjoy the break. I hope you had more luck than me is finding an outfit.lol! Im not a great shopper.

Have a fab weekend everyone. x
