Hi Girls,
I am starting Week 10 today and it feels great.
Can't believe the porridge news, I feel so happy about that!!
Drank just over 3 litres yesterday, not wonderful but good enough.
Also just finished about 45 mins on Wii, never going to make a professional but it is great fun!

Well I am the Bridget Jones of the group!!!:wave_cry:
Fat, single and sad!
Okay so I am 27 (ahh!!!), Northern Irish and determined to lose weight.
I have struggled with weight from a young age, unfortunately during those years Dr's were not very understanding and it took me until I was 25 to find a great Dr.
But back to my teens, I was big but never bullied at school. I am not a 'bubbly, loud, fat girl' but I can stand up for myself. All was going great in first year, came top of the class etc then I got sick.
I was diagnoised with M.E (Chronic fatigue syndrome) at 12, not just like that though. I went through many nasty Dr's until I finally got to see a specialist who diagnoised me, but it was still a fight for my parents to get me tutors etc.
Basically I stayed in my home for the next X amount of years only visiting family every so often. It was hard especially as my older sister and younger brother got on with life the way a teenager should.
The weight just kept creeping up on me, been on a MILLION diets and many dieticians could not work me out as they saw what I was eating.
I am vegetarian and hate all the things people think us fat girls eat, cream buns, butter, takeaways etc I don't even drink alcohol!
So everything was just the same for over 10 years, I did my GCSE's from home, got good grades then did an A-level Sociology which I passed.
At 24, I started taking chest pains and thought I was on my way out. It was actually a panic attack caused by gallstones, again this took forever to find out as my weight was always blamed.
It has only been in the last few years that I have started to get on my feet. I do feel like I have lost so many years but try and stay positive about it.
Could never understand why I was putting on so much weight, I can honestly say I do not sit and eat bags of crisps, fried food or chocolate. I was told 2 months ago that my thyroid is boderline underactive, this was a year after the tests which the receptionist failed to give me the correct result of. So I have to go back to my Dr is Sept to have lots of tests, I always said I would have to eat practically nothing to lose anything and it seems I was right!
Last year I tried to join Lighter Life but did not like the idea of a group session. I was thinking of a Gastric band but my family were not best really feeling that. Also it is not available here in Ireland (privately) so I did some research and heard about the CD.
I was terrified but deperate when I contacted Debz32, but she was wonderful on our first meeting. In fact just her emails at the beginning put me at my ease. She made me feel like I could do this diet and was not a bad person for being so heavy. Okay so very quickly I weighed in at 21 s 7 pounds, Big, BIg, BIG!
Lost 1 1/2 stone in first month and 13 pounds in second, I have a long way to go but feeling better.
Only parents, brother, sister and their partners know about this diet. So many people keep saying I am looking great but they know weight talk is off limits with me, also I am still wearing my smocks so....
A friend of my sister did ask her if I had lost weight , so she must have noticed it on my birthday.
My CDC Debz32 is wonderful, always contacting me by text and supporting me. I got a Wii for my birthday and have stuck to SS 100% so I hope when I see her on Sep 11th it shows on the scales.
Confidence and me do not go hand-in-hand but I starting to realise I was just dealt a bad hand and I can make something out of my future. I know loosing weight will let me change my life, I will not feel like the fat fool in the corner.
I was able to study for a journalism diploma from home which I passed with distinction. I also love making jewellery , at the moment it is just for family and friends but would love to see if I could go and learn more about that.
Although I may seem sheltered I am pretty wise, well so everyone tells me! Most people come to me for advice, probably as I always have their best interests at heart.
My long term goal is to be happy with myself!!!
Children are a huge motivation for my weight loss, I can't imagine not being a mum one day. Being able to adopt children is my biggest dream and something that motivates me.
My health is improving, I am loosing weight and can see a little but of light at the end of the tunnel.
So that is me really, well a synopsis at best. Hope I have not bored any of you!

Thank you for sharing your story Emmalouise...erm sorry Bridget
Best of luck with this diet (I'm not doing so well again today and close to giving up :cry
Hope you're all doing well girls
Oh MooMoo, sorry to hear you are having a bad day. Thankfully I have only had one bad day, a friday in week 4. I was so moody, emotional and was so annoyed when I saw family eating. I just had to take it minute by minute and thankfully woke up on the Saturday feeling great. Now I am on Week 10 and it has just flown past.
I really hope you can get past this and start feeling good soon!

Hiya Girls,
Thanks for sharing your stories with us, its nice to get to know each other a bit better.
Its nice we have all decided to do this Weightloss Journey together as we all know how hard it is from time to time.
Well I still have a Headache, took tablets galore since yesterday to try and get rid, hopefully it will pass soon, I have had 2 tetra's & nearly 4 litres so far, I am NOT in ketosis yet but it does take me a while, I envy these people who get a visit from the ketosis fairy quickly..
CAN YOU BELIEVE ITS FRIDAY TOMORROW!! OMG..
Where are the days going?
If I write everyone's name will you just copy & paste it with your Weigh Day on for me..

I peed on a stick earlier and am in ketosis, thought that meant I was supposed to feel good and not hungry?? I feel bloody starving
Anyway hope you lot are all doing well and glugging the water down

How much water are you drinking Chick?
I am sorry that you feel like you do, I can see your finding it really hard hun.
Obviously it must affect people differently but as soon as your body gets into ketosis your not supposed to be hungry as basically its like your body is feeding off its own fat cells so to speak so you lose weight quicker, well thats the terms I use anyway..

Hi Girls.
Well I managed to do 810 yesterday which is better than falling off the wagon i suppose!
I'm actually feeling good this morning and am planning on doing SS.
saraian24, you are so right!!
I have actually written that phrase down and every time I'm struggling I will look at the words "if you want to lose 4 stone by Christmas you will do it"
Yes I will!!!
Jools, I'm sorry you are finding it tough, I know how hard it is believe me, but hopefully in another day or so you will have he fabulous feelings that ketosis brings.
Kel, I'm glad you are feeling better, nothing worse than a headache!
You are a fab motivator too!
I'm not too good on the water front, I would far rather drink tea or diet coke (my cdc says this is okay but I know others don't agree, but it keeps me on track, without my diet coke I just couldn't to this diet ) I'm aiming to drink a litre today, that would be a huge achievement for me, and then I can go up from there!
EmmaLouise81, thanks for your story, you are doing great on the weight loss chick!
My weigh in day is Monday.
I'm 18.4 right now and if I reach my Christmas target......sorry WHEN I reach my Christmas target I will be 14 stone exactly!!!
I'm ready, I'm motivated I have nurofen plus in the house for when I get my carb withdrawal headache, and now I have my girls to help me!!....I'm all set!!

Hi Sugarbabes! Errmm.. sorry waterbabes! Hope you are all drinking away. I am so jealous of u gals cos ur weigh in days are drawing so near. You might already be aware of this gals, I stumbled across channel 275 on sky(dats if u have sky) and it is an exercise channel and I have been using it….not badJ
MooMoo
Hi gal, I know you are looking forward to your weigh in today. All the best! I hope it’s getting easier for you now. I am sure you are glad you did not give up. Have you started shopping for your holiday in Majorca? Forgot to mention, I stole the splitting the of shake pack tip from u, I found it really helpful- thanksJ How is Maddison’s 1st birthday preps going? Hope you are feeling much better today. Don’t worry dear... u’ll be fine! I do not want u saying u moan too much! Moaning makes us all feel better! I like moaning
saraian24
Hi Sarah, ur weigh in is 2moro! Hope ure looking 4ward to it. You have been good so I am confident u’d have lost a lot of weight. I will consider going on to the 810 plan closer to the wedding. I just find counting calories very difficult cos of the kind of foods I eat. That is one of the reasons I find SS ideal cos it kinda eliminates d need to count. We’ll see how it goes... as the saying goes “u never know till u try”. Any plans for your 25th bday?
Manolo Blahnik
Hi Hazel, How is the water intake going? How is your baby? You are blessed to have 3 handsome boys. Don’t beat urself up for making a mistake. The good thing is u are not giving up. I admire the fact that u can do this as a full time mum. I don’t even know if I’d be able to have the self control to stick to it if I am not away from the fridge during the day (at work).
Kelly1977 – Tuesday
Hi kel, Thanks for all ur encouragement! Your holiday is in 43days! How is d mortgage search goin? Any luck?
I hope ure feeling much better now. I understand how u feels cos my TOTM started same day as u. L
I eat 3 handful of peanuts last nite L. The good news is at least I don’t have anymore peanuts lurking around the kitchen so no more temptation!
EmmaLouise81
Welcome to the Waterbabes team, EmmaLouise! I just want to let you know that whatever situation u are going through, someone somewhere is going through worse. You will always come out stronger. You are a very brave gal and I admire u! All the best and I look forward to more from u J

Hi Water Babes! Are you guys doing a WI for the team challenge this week or are you waiting until next week?
Just in case you're lost each team has to submit their last WI weight, their new WI weight and the weeks loss to their team leader by Thursday. The team leader then calculates each members % loss. The team % loss is reached by adding together the teams start weight and adding together the teams losses then working out the %. There is a "Team Challenge Results thread" every Thurs where the team leader submits your results. Even if you're not entering this week, check it out for info - Minz started this weeks.

Sorry if you knew all that!
Good luck!
