Team 7 - Fat Fighters (Official team thread)

[Minz]

How much bigger. I've dropped to 2lbs a week recently. Will I go back to 4's or more?

Everyone's different but they say that SS/SS+ is about a stone a month.

 

[Angela1]

Effectively I am on SS+ now. 18lbs in 5 weeks so it won't change then. At the moment my scales show a gain since Weds! I don't get that. I'm off porridge this week to see if it makes a difference.

MADONNABODYDOUBLE

I would like to get agreement from the team on what to do given that Madonnabodydouble hasn't posted on here for a week (and missed last Thursdays check in).

I suggest that if she hasn't posted on this thread by Friday morning (given how committed she seemed to be), that we recruit for another member. I will also start a new thread today looking for her.

Could you let me know if you agree (or not) please?

p.s. if any of you are thinking of leaving the team (and I hope you're not, including Madonnabodydouble, please PM me rather than just disappearing).........Thanks

 

[RuthG]

Morning all! Well I appear to be on the threshold of ketosis, my square was a very pale shade of pink, but pink none the less! Woo hoo! Weigh in tomorrow, It's not going to be a biggie, but a loss is still a loss. I've floated between 810 and 1000 all week, trying to gradually get off carbs, and I'm almost there, hurrah!

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[Angela1]

I'm not leaving. Desperate not to be fat for ever.

 

[RuthG]

I must admit, a couple of times this week I've nearly 'given in' and the one thing that has kept me going is the commitment I've made to this group, so thank you to everyone, you've kept me going!

Glad to hear it - I'd hate it if anymore people disappeared. I assume you're ok that we find a replacement for MBD if she doesn't show by Friday.

Good for you RuthG - You're doing really well and in the pink (woo hoo). I assume the same as above for you with Madonnabodydouble........we want a full team of committed people. Good luck with WI.

 

[Mushette]

stayed the same this week! My CDC seems to think its because I'm on a high level of antibotics. Never mind aye :S

 

[Minz]

That's a good result given you're unwell......hope you feel better soon (and well done for not putting on!). I assume you're happy that we replace Madonnabodydouble if she doesn't show by Friday - we need a full team of committed losers!

[Angela1]

committed loser here whose own scales haven't shifted in a week??????????????????????? Hope I have lost at least 2 by tomorrow. I'm not happy with 2 really. I hope SS speeds things up a bit or I won't make my target by Christmas. I was hoping by OH birthday end of November actually.

 

[Angela1]

WOW - just found some inspiration posted by KD. Have a reead of this in the light of my post above -
KD wrote "Fact: Stick to the plan and you definitely lose weight
Fact: You can control what you put in your mouth
Fact: You cannot control what the scales say.

So what do you celebrate? The scales showing a loss, or the fact that you kept to the diet all week?

What if you stick to the diet, but the scales don’t reflect your effort? Will you be disappointed, even though you have done everything correctly and couldn’t possibly do any better? Knowing that you will have lost weight…but it didn’t mean anything because the scales are giving the wrong result?

What if you ‘cheat’ and the scales show a big loss…does that mean you’ve succeeded and need a pat on the back?

Or even if you’ve been 100% and the scales are showing a loss? Does it mean more to you? Does that mean you’ve done even better than 100%?

I think the scales are a wonderful tool. I weigh daily, and love seeing them give the same reading day in and out, but that’s not what I really celebrate.

I celebrate being in control of what I put in my mouth, because that’s what I have done. I don’t celebrate what the scales say.

So if you’ve stayed the same one week, or just lost that one pound….if you’ve kept to the diet 100%, then be proud, because that’s what it’s all about. Stick to the diet and the weight is coming off….whether or not the scales agree. And you’re worth the same amount of applause than those who have lost more.

1lbs, 1 stone, it doesn’t matter. You can’t do better than 100% after all

So do me a favour, and next time you go to your CDC for a weigh in, if you’ve been 100%, go in rejoicing.

Tell him/her you are going to be one of their success stories, because you were in control this week and will be next. If the scales reflect this, that’s just the icing on the cake. You’ve lost weight anyway. You don’t need a mechanical instrument to tell you whether you are in control or not "

I am going to print this out and stick it to my fridge.

 

[Minz]

That's excellent advice - thanks for posting it. Sounds like it's lifted your spirits

 

[RuthG]

Woo hoo! I lost 6lbs this week! Going to my CDC tonight for my 'official' weigh in, but on my scales from this last week to this week I lost 6 pounds

[Caress]

Just a pound this week ladies, but I moved to 810 cos I don't know how long I'm going to be on CD now, with the operation. So to make sure that my body is ready for it, I'm going up the plans. Should find out today when it'll be, hoping before Christmas, then I'm going to have to have time away from CD, at least 6 weeks according to Nicky, but she's going to phone CD HQ and confirm that.

Sorry I haven't been around much this week, Kieron is away with school until Friday, so I've been chilling at home, catching up with things that needed doing here. My house is actually clean and tidy, but you can bet that on Friday by 6pm it'll look like a bomb hit it again LOL

Great to hear from you Caress - I'm sure it's not just me that misses team members when they're not dropping in for a chat/catch up.

Well done on 1lb off (a loss is a loss). Fingers crossed you get a pre-Christmas date for your operation.... think of how much more you'll have lost by then......

By the way - I assume you've caught up on previous posts, but if not - if Madonnabodydouble hasn't checked in by tomorrow evening - I'm going to find a replacement.

I'll post result below tonight (just in case MBD shows). Well done team on another great week!

Hi All, I've lapsed a bit these last couple of days, I'm so bad. i was in the pink aswell! Never mind, pick myself up and get back on!

i'm gutted I'm not getting the golden star thingy this week, Angela, how could you steal my thunder, lol!

 

[Caress]

Well the news is great, I'm going to get the op before the end of October, I haven't got a confirmed date yet, they're going to phone and let me know, so I can time coming off CD and can leave it to the last possible moment. But what it does mean is that I'm going to be off CD for a while afterwards, so will be leaving the team But not till just before I go in, so you've got me for a few more weeks yet
