When you have to lose half of yourself...

[RainbowRose]

Great, another lb gone forever Suit sounds lovely, and smart! good luck with the new job. Very sensible to remove batteries from scale. givethem to someone to hide from you too ...in the past, i had to ask hubby to hide the scales from me, to stop my scale hopping. Now I can leave scales in the bathroom and ignore them until monday mornings! it becomes second nature to avoid them...eventually!

-6lbs!!! I am over the moon but it will be hard not getting weighed for one month :sigh:

Work has started: it's good so far but the commuting is exhausting. It means I'm in bed by 9.30pm

I just realised I lost 4st already!

Fantastic news book-worm, very well done!!!! keep at it, and just think, early to bed means no night time snacking!!!!

-3lbs this week. My CDC being away, I had to use my scales.

I am really happy with this loss, but boy am I tired between studying and my new job!

Hi! Just came across this thread and it's great inspiration! Personally, I need to lose around half my weight and it's only day 5 so far on SS+. My motivation is that I too no longer want to hide from mirrors and camera's, like I have done for the last 10 years. I feel like I've lost too many memories :blush: but I'm ready now and I want to start making new one's of a hopefully slimmer me.

Congrats to all for your weight losses so far

Hi I just wanted to add my thank you for posting you are really helping me when I am struggling I too have over 10 stone too lose and it's hard to imagine that it's possible until you read of your successes so a big thank you for sharing. I am on 2nd week of a vlcd which is not too bad n I lost 11 lb in first week but another 144 lbs to go. My dream is to be able to sit down without having to have a look to check how strong I think the chair is I know I do it so quickly I don't think anyone notices or understands why I decide to stand at bbqs all night when they have picnic benches or plastic chairs to choose from.

I'm with you there Amandadur about checking if the seats are strong enough, one of the worst thing that is for me.

Thanks James also wanted to say i hope your mums doing well, my mums had three brain tumours removed in the last ten years and I know what your going through its a lot of worry n all the doctors seem to speak a different language but it's amazing how quick the body recovers n how mums bounce back.

 

[JLStretton]

Cheers, hope your Mum is well at the min.

Awww, how sweet you are! You've made my day! When I started the diet, I didn't think I could go that far. And now I just don't think about food at all. It feels weird!

Thanks hunny.I know what you mean about chairs: I am the same!! I can't think of anything more humiliating One day we will be able to throw ourselves at any chair without a care in the world

Well, today I had the afternoon off so I wen to the charity shop to get rid of more clothes. I seem to be getting slimmer very quickly at the moment. It must be because I am on my feet all the time: no time to sit down behind my desk when I have a classroom full of boys to "tame" I even had to go get some more clothes and I bought a skirt It is still a tiny bit tight (although I could still wear it now) but soon it will look perfect! I can't believe I got a skirt...

I also really have to do something about my wedding and engagement rings: they are sliding off my finger and I will lose them if I am not careful.

I wonder what I will look like at Christmas. For once, I won't feel ashamed when people take pictures or comment on each other's clothes. But it feels weird to think that in 4 months I will be a new person physically... Do you see what I mean? I am kind of excited and scared at the same time...

 

[RainbowRose]

I know exactly what you mean book-worm, it is so exciting and a little scary..but boy, it feels so good!!!!

Loving your happiness that is flowing from your threads, you are doing so very well hun x

Woohoo to buying a skirt and be very careful with your rings, mine are spinning around my fingers too!

 

[Book-Worm]

Oh if I could see pictures of us this Christmas!! But unfortunately, I don't have a time machine

Well, I think I sound happy because my weight is making happier everyday. I am feeling better, more at ease. It is the only thing that is going in the right direction at the moment, so I make sure to celebrate my small achievements

Totally relate to that Book-worm, my mood is so much brighter as i become lighter!!! hee hee

Have a great weekend
