Thailand bulge battle commences!!!

[charl_young]

Wow you're so brave! I don't think I could do more than 4, I like this as a little boost to get my BMI/weight down a little then back to CC/SW for the last (hopefully!!) stone, maybe if I had more time before holiday I'd do like 6 weeks but definitely couldn't for more, feel like I've learnt a lot about eating and why I eat and what I actually need since I started this though, which is great! X

 

[RebekahR]

lol not brave at all if it was just for me, I would probably be happy. But its to get my breast reduction, so happy to do anything to get my op done so excited

Your doing ace hun

 

[charl_young]

Oh wow! A reduction, so they've said you have to lose weight to get the op? Is it booked in or just a consultation you have your deadline for? X

 

[RebekahR]

It's all on BMI and proportion, symptoms. I've got a first appointment, then it goes to a panel, you have to see all sorts of people then they decide if they can fund it. So just keeping my fingers crossed!!

Have a good day hun keep up the good work xxx

 

[charl_young]

Think I've somehow knocked myself out of ketosis absolutely starving today, so so hungry and just want to eat food I have been up since 7:30 tho and didn't get to eat anything until 1pm so I think it's maybe thrown me off a bit. And been at the park this morning and at the beach all afternoon. Sat and watched the kids and grandparents having a lush picnic and biscuits and crisps, now they're having sausage and mash and peas with heavy while I'm sat with nothing. Feeling v miserable on this diet today. Which is crap as I was feeling so good. Whys the hunger come back! X

 

[RebekahR]

Don't worry about ketosis. Your in it, simple

You will feel hungry sometimes its just one of those things hun. Lots of warm drinks, water, and keep distracted. It will pass Xx

 

[charl_young]

Got home and finally ate my protein meal, god I was absolutely ravenous. Was good tho! 100g salmon fillet with 5 spice on. With crispy kale and onion, and some steamed veg. Followed by green tea. Going straight to bed after the swimming as I'm done in from being at the beach all day! How's your day been? X

Chin up BMI-buddy! You'll have good and bad days but mostly good, wait and see!
Can't believe you're on day 12 already! And I'm on day 16! Woohoo, we rock! x

 

[charl_young]

YAY! yeah yesterday was such a weird day, I think eating eggs for bfast at like 11am really sets me up for the day, and I didn't yeaterday as we were out and its just threw me all off, I think I must really associate my mums house with eating as I was just ravenous the whole time I was there, and I've been pretty ok the last week and a bit so it does make sense to have an off day every now and again, feeling much better this morning now I have my day planned. Really fancy going to the beach again though might get the train there in a bit if the weather stays nice.

Hows your day going so far? hang on does that mean u had WI yesterday?? how'd it go? xxx

 

[Shivie]

Yep, second weigh-in yesterday, lost a respectable 3lbs so I'm happy with that!
My uniform is bordering on becoming baggy already!
Today going grand, ta, just had a bar and about to brew up a cuppa.
Hooray it's Friday! We have a bank holiday weekend this weekend, do you guys? Or isn't yours the end of
August? Have a trip to my cousin's to contend with tomorrow for blessing of graves (she's a chef!)
Am geared up to be really good though and avoid all temptation!
Stop in to my diary anytime for details!! x

 

[charl_young]

Ah I will. And well done love, 3lbs is well respectable, I'm really really hoping for 4 or 5, so by the end of s&s 2 weeks I'll have lost 1.5st.

Ah your weekend sounds cool! And work uniform being baggy is great, I'm wearing some size 16 shorts that about a month ago were really tight and I felt yuck in them so that's good, they are te stretchy kind but that's def progress and a top my bf bought me for my bday which felt small and uncomfy is now perfect too.

We're going to see the lorax tomorrow with the kids then my bezzies leaving party as he's moving to Norway and then after that popping into a wedding reception. Busy busy! Xx

 

[Shivie]

Wow, you've a busy weekend ahead! Sounds like fun! Great news that your clothes are fitting better already too.
It's such a warm fuzzy feeling being able to button that top button without almost splicing your mid-section in two, isn't it?!!
I almost forgot I'd lost the 9lbs yesterday evening while changing out of uniform and into my jeans at home yesterday.
Then the zipper slid up like a dream, button popped into its buttonhole and, hey presto, I could still breathe!!
Love it! x

 

[charl_young]

Ah that's canny I dont ever wear proper trousers or jeans just live in leggings so I never really know if things are loose or tight, my leggings def felt a bit baggy yesterday though. Woop! X

 

[Shivie]

Yay! Does canny mean great?! Local expression ? Love it! That's gonna be my new saying....not that
anyone around me will get it, but that'll be half the fun!!!! x

 

[charl_young]

Haha!! Yep canny means nice or good. I love regional expressions. Where are you from? X

 

[Shivie]

Live in Trim, County Meath, Ireland and work in Dublin. Commute is around an hour but I don't mind,
love where I live! We have a beautiful Norman castle and some lovely riverside walks along the Boyne.
What's Newcastle like? I've only ever been to London.

 

[charl_young]

Ah that sounds lush! I've never been to Ireland, I'd love to go. I'm getting really into walking and stuff, not that theres any nice walk near me! Near my mums house at the coast its really nice though which is only like 20mins from me.

Newcastle is nice, good place to live, although I've lived here forever and would love a change, I really want to move to the south coast, brighton kind of area, would just like some more sun, we get terrible summers and the south is so much nicer weather wise.

Ooo I just got a dress delivered and its too big, yay! bought the 18 as the 16 was out of stock and thought well I'm in between anyway so it'll be fine, but its really baggy and loose, YAY!! xx

 

[Shivie]

Wooopeeee! Nice going! You'll soon be getting it taken in so!

Yes you should visit Ireland sometime! Dublin is the only big city really. Templebar is a legendary spot for a night out!
Cork and Galway are more like big towns but they have all the shops Dublin has.
Galway's great craic! There's always some festival or other going on.

I'd love to see more of the UK, I know from TV that the scenery is amazing in places.
Maybe as a getting-to-goal treat I'll book a mini-break!
