Woo hoo, well done Enlighten:wow:, that's fantastic!! I'm going to the pub with my friend tmw night, but I'm okay with that, I'm just going to take a bar with me and drink water, the football is on so I'm in for torture (I'm a rugby girl lol). But I decided it would get me out of the house...and where there's football there's boys lol. Might as well get myself back on the market, I'm more or less over my ex (AP) so why not try to move on?

I've just got back from weigh in and although I've only officially lost 2lbs, but I put on 4lbs after my blip on weigh day last week, so I have actually lost 6lbs. Anyway regardless of what the number is, the 2lbs has finally taken me below 14st to 13st 12lbs - yay - I've been messing about in the 14's for far too long!:gen157:

I only need to lose another 7 or 8lbs and I'll be back to the weight I was when I was with AP. Once that's gone I'll feel like he's gone from my life completely (I put on almost a stone and a half when we broke up). So despite it only seeming like a small loss, I feel fab with it and I'm definitely sticking with it and being good on Friday at LC's party.arty0023:

Anyway I'm feeling much more positive :innocent0002:and I feel like the end is in sight again. Being stuck in the 14's was really becoming a motivation sapper.

Hope everyone else has had a good day.:553:

Do I ever understand you!! I've hit 220 three times, I'm soooo determined to move beyond it!! I'm just overjoyed that it will be this week!

 

[Surfhunny]

Ha ha Claire I can't flirt to save my life!! I don't really know how I managed to pull AP lol. Actually that's not strictly true, I can flirt so long as the other person is flirting too (that's how I pulled AP).

Just glad I seem to have got my mojo back!!!

It's amazing how you can get a total mental block with a certain weight. On Slimming World 16st was that back huge wall I could never get past. You'll be past your wall soon too yay.

Hey everyone

Well done jess on your 1lb loss too, when it was my TOTM i also just lost 1lb and i think i must retain water loads too so well done on losing on TOTM.

Eeee your all doing so well you should all be really proud

I went for my WI tonight, i didnt think i was gong to lose anything after a few chicken salads that where kinda large eeek!! But i managed to lose 4lb which i am over the moon with yay!! I cant believe it Its made me sooo happy. Still cant notice a change in my clothes tho I think in a month or so i will hehe!! Only another 136lb to go to get to goal lol ~sigh~

How has your day been everyone? Mines been alot better than yesterday hehe! xxx <3

 

[Surfhunny]

Well done Tasha. Looks like we've all had a good week so far! Today I met someone who totally put my weight problem into perspective for me. This lady was 27st overweight!! She had all sorts of health probs which I won't go into. Weighing in at 37st she's got a massive job to do, and she can't do it! There's no help for her on the NHS, because our Trust is overstretched and underfunded.

Now I know I moan about being 2st overweight and I just can't imagine being 27st overweight, it made me realise that I need to stop moaning about my weight and get on and do something about it while I'm still fit enough to do it. This lady has more or less been told that because she's immobile she won't lose weight now no matter how little she eats, thats really sad I think, her only resort is surgery. I felt for her today, but vowed never to let that happen to me. I think that no matter how hard we find this, at least we're all able to do something about it.

Sorry I know that was really deep, but I just felt I had to share it with you. Because no matter what our starting weight was, we should all feel good because we made that hard decision to do CD and make a difference to ourselves before it's too late, not like this lady who has really left it too long :-(

 

[clairem87]

there was someone like that on suersize v superskinny last night - n it was awful to watch - ur right - really puts things into perspective. imagine it would be a bigger impact meeting someone like that - i think id have found it v emotional.

[X_Tasha_X]

I think i would have found it emotinal too. I really believe that if i didnt decide to do CD i could have gotten that big too. I mean when i was at 16st a never bothered doing anything about itand then i got to 19st and tried everything to lose the weight ww etc but didnt mange to lose much and gave up. At 23st i found out about CD and here i am losing weight and feeling great. I think if i didnt have CD that could have been me in 10years time xxxx

 

[clairem87]

i think we all have that "lightbulb" moment where we realise we have to do something , mine came properly when i read about the risks of cancer being so increased in obese ppl - seeing my little one going through chemo and being able to do nothing about it made me realise i wanna take myself out of any self imposed risk group.
sorry for this post if its a bit too personal.

xcx

 

[Surfhunny]

Yeah you're right Claire I think most of us have had a lightbulb moment like that, I started dieting at first because I felt gross, but where I work we deal with a lot of diabetic patients - the extreme end of the scale, and I read up on it and realised that being obese was putting me at huge risk of developing diabetes and other things that I could actually do something to prevent. That hit home for me so I decided to take it a bit more seriously and started CD.

Tasha, I think that was why this lady affected me so much, because I know by the time I got to her age (47) I'd have been the same if I hadn't found CD. I always watch those programmes about bariatric patients - Fat Doctor and the like, just to help keep things in perspective for me. But this lady has really made me stop and think today!

No matter how many times I have to do this diet, I'll keep doing it because I WILL NOT end up like that lady!!!

 

[X_Tasha_X]

Morning happy CD dieters

I am really happy today yay. Lost 4lb yesterday and i am looking forward to a lovely 100% day today (and all this week) I have drank 1lr of water already and i am aiming to drink another 500ml before lunch.

Had a word with my boss about something today which is a weight off my mind and was making me kinda upset the last few days but he told me not to be silly and he thinks i am doing my job great yaya!!

Hope your all having a lovely 100% day today xxx

 

[Surfhunny]

Ah Tasha that's fab news! What a weight off you mind! I'm just at the pub, getting glared at for being on my phone lol. I just dropped in to see how everyone's doing. Tomorrow night is going to be a real test of my will power. I won't get chance to get on here until Saturday morning so good luck for tomorrow everyone xxx

well had a lovely time last night with my two friends Ju from here and another friend. I picked a good high protein main meal of steamed cod and green beans and drank fizzy water unfortunately the dessert menu was so tempting and whilst my friends had the waffle and ice cream I decided against that as scrumptious as it sounded and went for a creme brulee on the premise well its made from eggs and cream and both those are allowed on a high protein diet and hopefully there wont be too much sugar in it!

This morning I had managed to lose another 0.2lbs so was impressed with that but then felt decidedly peculiar all afternoon and without a tmi moment have had a bit of unsettled bowels.

Am going for my haircut and eyebrows waxed so will feel a bit pampered and feel like I will look a bit better too rather than beetle brows and lank greasy hair!

Am hoping for 100% day tomorrow. this is where it all went downhill last week. it starts with the tesco shopping and I start feeling deprived and self control goes out the window. So have done the tesco shop today instead have had a few things I shouldnt (again on the premise I was out of fat burning due to the creme brulee) so think thats why I may have had a dodgy belly but no more it stops tonight and am aiming onm 100% for tomorrow and the weekend ready for Monday's WI.

Ive also had loads of mind games saying oh SS ing is too drastic you may aswell do 2 shakes and a family meal at night it will come off more slowly but it will probably stay off then, but then I looked at my charts (cos im a saddo that plots and projects where I should be on a certain date and if I do it that way then it will take me from now till xmas to get to healthy weight range and thats just WWWAAAYYY too long because Im so impatient. but also I would still be 3st overweight for my hols in June and I will be in a swimsuit for alot of it and dont want to feel so self conscious -
so luickily plotting it has given me the push to stop having blips and decide to take it hour by hour and not leave it too long inbetween shakes so my blood sugar drops and I crave carbs!

Hope you all had a good day (sorry for the long post )

Tasha that is great news about the thing at work and surfhunny enjoy tonight and hope you have a fab night tomorrow night.
speak on saturday keep strong

[Jessica Rabbit72]

Last nights party was a big success. LC loved it and he was completely surprised. But even though I wasn't drinking the buffet was just too tempting. LC's mum and girlfriend are both fantastic cooks. I tried really hard not to overindulge, I only went up once, and didn't get too much. I know I've knocked myself out of ketosis, but never mind, what's done is done and at least I didn't drink or get a kebab on the way home. Even though the girls did so my car smells like a pizza shop now lol.

This afternoon I'm going to watch the rugby in 3D at the cinema with my daddy, so that should be fun, and he'll keep me away from the pick 'n' mix!

I think I'd better go and jump on the scales and see exactly what I have to deal with this week. I wish I didn't have all these social events to go to. I'm finding it so hard to keep on track. I also do what you do Tasha, work out how long it's going to take me to get to target etc... By my original calculations at 4lbs a week I should almost be there by now, as it is I'm stil 29lbs away and feeling a bit like I'm never going to get there.

Okay well I put 3lbs on - that'll be the glycogen from the carbs. Not as bad as last weeks 4lbs, but it's still 2 steps forward and 1 step back every single week, and I'm getting sick of it. The trouble is, all the social events aren't one's I can get out of because it's really close friends and everything with my friends is centred around food. It always has been. We use food to celebrate, commiserate, and just socialise. It's not fair for me to say I'm not going and I know my friends don't feel comfortable eating when I'm not so I feel like I'm torn.

So next week I have a meal out at a japanese but I don't really like much on the menu so it'll be stir fried chicken for me. Then the week after it's my friends baby's christening - another big meal. I think thats it's til my god daughters christening, so I should be able to get my head down for a couple of weeks and maybe lose 7lbs in those 2 weeks. I really wanted to be at target by then... and should've been if I hadn't messed about so much in the beginning - as it stands I'll probably still be 18lbs away. This is depressing!!

This is the break down, if I lose 2lbs a weeks for the next 4 weeks I'll be 186lbs which is 21lbs from my target. I hope I can lose 3.5lbs in the last 2 weeks, that would take me to 18lbs away from target. I don't know why I'm bothering with all of these workings out because my body will only do what it wants anyway! Argh I'm so frustrated. I'd love just one week with a decent loss! I'm my own worst enemy!

Sorry about the length of this whiney post, I just needed to get my thoughts out of my head and into words. If I don't I'm likely to start feeling really down and depressed about the whole thing. I feel like I swing from feeling really positive about it to feeling like it's impossible. And you girls seem to always get the brunt of it. Sorry. x

Anyway I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I'll catch up later on. Need to go and get ready for the rugby.

 

[clairem87]

hey hey surfhunny - sorry you're strugglung i have no advice cos im a newbie and been fairly blippy myself lol but i hope u get a gd loss this week anyways

well i lost 7 and 3/4 lbs at yesterdays wi! so pleased cos i had a pizza hut the day before

i am aiming for 24 lbs through march so here's to ss 100%ing!!
i got to my feb goal of 10lbs so im well pleased with that cos ive never reached a weight loss goal in my set time before!!!
i love this diet

xcx

 

[Surfhunny]

My next little goal is also to get back into the overweight category. I need to lose 4lbs to do that. It might not seem like much - 1 weeks work, but based on past WI's I'm not feeling too positive about it being that quick.

I think I'm actually going to have to drag my fat ass back to the gym, I don't know why I'm avoiding it so much... It's like my back injury has made me lose all my gym confidence. My gym is really not the kind of place where people stare, it has it's fair share of Gym Barbies, but everyone just cracks on with their own workouts and pay no attention to anyone around them. I need to go just once to get over the fear and I'll be fine. SO tomorrow is the day! I'm going to set foot back there! My weight loss should benefit if I do!

I'd better make sure I know where my gym kit is! I might have a go at starting that Couch to 5K challenge thing. It's worth a try too. I can't kid myself any longer that I've got a back injury and I can't go to the gym because I've been discharged from the Physio and his last words were 'Time to get back to the gym'. No more excuses.
