well...just updating my facts and figures hehe!
my body fat percentage has gone from a staggering 44% to a still staggering but better 33.7%!!! i'm so happy about that!
i'm going to start going to Jazzercise as soon as i can find someone to come with me! i feel really positive about that too.
but on the whole i am feeling pretty glum. i don't know why. i just feel a bit miserable

Well i'm totally fed up now, 7th week 100 % SS and 2lbs lost! It's a nightmare, i don't know if i will have the resolve to stick with it if it doesn't speed up over the next few weeks, its sooo hard and the only thing that makes it easier is the fast weight loss.
To top it all off its raining!

thinkthincd,
please don't get disheartened. it was my 7th too (i know i posted 8th-i'm really not with it!!!) and i only lost 3lbs.
i think our bodies are taking a small break. i am willing to bet we will lose much more next week.
whatever you do, don't give up! if anything, having a smaller loss this week has made me more determined to stick to the plan! you have still lost 35lbs in 7 weeks. that's an average of 5lbs a week-THAT'S BLOODY FANTASTIC!!! i don't know anyone who could lose 5lbs a week on a normal diet!
you are still heading towards your target. and 2lbs is still a lot of weight.
A Malayan Flying Fox weighs about 2lbs and if you don't know what one of those is, there is a pic attached.
YOU LOST A WHOLE ANIMAL THIS WEEK!!!

LOLOLOL!
Thanks Gem, you really cheered me up, i'm defo sticking to cd until i go to my friends wedding on the 18th Oct, but if i have slowed to 2lbs a week or less then i will have to consider my options. Fingers crossed for a juicy loss for both of us this week.

thinkthin and gem - What are your current weights? I've only been losing 3-1-3-1 for the last few weeks, which SUCKED! But then I realized that, the smaller my body gets, the less lbs. I will lose in a week. At the weight I am now, it's only natural that I will lose less than I did 35 lbs. ago because there's less TO lose. Look at percentages, too, and things like that and don't get too discouraged. Trust me - I know it sucks. But I keep telling myself that "healthy diet and exercise" lost me 1 lb. a month if I was lucky, so 8 a month is still loads faster.

i'm 19st 3lbs now GTPeach (269lbs). i was 21st 11lbs when i started (305lbs!!!). to be honest i am looking forward to my 810 week and hoping that will give me a boost. i'm planning to start doing some regular exercise soon aswell which will hopefully increase my metabolism and my weight loss.
i keep thinking it will be great if i can lose 6lbs this week as i will be at the 3st mark then AND under 19st! i'm keeping my fingers crossed-i know it's a long shot but i would be happy with a 4lbs loss. x

Thanks Gt but i've still got a long way to go, i'm 15 st 9, and need to be about 12 and a half stone for bmi 25. Trying not to worry, i'll have to see what happens this week. I'm on AAM in 2 weeks anyway so if that doesn't kick start things then i can always review plans etc.
How is everyone else this weekend? Sorry for moaning all the time i can't seem to get the spring back in to my step at the mo, i think i'm so focused on trying to look my best for my friends wedding so that somebody actually notices that i have lost weight, and 2lb results just make me think that i will never get there.
I'm going to make a real effort to try and cheer up, i just hate the way i look still and am desperate for it to change, but i suppose i can't do anymore than i'm already doing, and i know it won't come off any quicker on any other diets so i'm officially telling myself to GET OVER IT!!!!!!
Phew i think i'm ok now.
Ordered all my new furniture today for the lounge, nothing like spending cash to cheer me up lol, got a great chair from the same place we ordered our sofa from and its called a cuddler as it seats 2 people cuddled up.....how cute!

Evening Gem and the rest of the violets,
I think that our mood is more than likely due to the length of time we have been on CD, not at the beginning buzzing off resisting food and getting huge losses, but also not near enough to goal to see the results of our achievements. I find the day to day of the diet pretty easy now, i don't really miss food as such, but i do find myself wishing the weeks away to get to the "new me" so i suppose we are in nomans land at the mo, and perhaps this is the reason for our low mood.

yeah i get what you are saying about no-mans land. that's why i have so many tickers now lol i found it cheered me up a bit to have tickers for each goal. the one for october is very near the end and that made me really chuffed!
i also find it easy. it seems too easy! i am trying to persuade OH to let us buy a Wii console and Wii Fit...i think i am getting somewhere!
i'm planning on joining a jazzercise class too which should be fun. really scared about going on my own though but i should think after the first time i will be well away!
my plan is to get fitter so that i can start going out jogging on the nights when i'm not at jazzercise. i'm thinking that if i do something every evening, i will get into the habit and it will stick after CD! xxx
