18's into 17's

[JaneB]

Hiya
I've just this week dropped to this new amazing zone, weighed in at 18st13.
Isn't it a real motivator when you drop below that next stone, whichever one it is?!
I have half a pound to go for my 3.5st award, which is this week's motivator. Ever so slightly addicted to huge salads the last few days so hopefully it helps
So glad to meet you all and read your amazing stories. Keep up the great work

Rocketgob my receipe for mushroom and bacon soup is so simple.

Half punnet of mushroom
2 rashers of bacon
1 pint of water
1 chicken stock cube
a few herbs
125ml skimmed milk

boil the water and add the stock cube, spray fry light into a frying pan brown off the mushrooms and bacon, then put into pan and simmer till soft and let it go cold, then add the milk and mix all together, put everything into a blender until it all goes thick, return back to pan and heat up slowly and enjoy, you can add salt and pepper, but if you use smoked bacon you don't need salt. if you go to my food diary my recipes are on there with my syn free lemon pudding.

Dont beat yourself up about it shirleen, you have to look at how much you have lost already, give yourself a cheer for that :clap:, it doesn't matter how long it takes, 0.5 or 1lb at a time its still coming off and you haven't given up :giveup:, well done.

Thank you claire.

Hi Guys

Lost 3.5lb last night got my 1.5st badge, now 18s 8lb, got sow and my silver body magic badge so chuffed, tried my size 24 trousers on and they FIT:bliss: I've come down from a size 28/30 clothes,

Oh were almost the same size and weightI started at 28/30 and am now in 24top (yay I bought tshirts from Asda) 26bottom! But I'm far less endowed up top than you are and I've lost most of my weight from my top half! Especially my shoulders :-s

Anyway we can compare notes on sizes!
Sometimes I feel freaky when I hear of people shorter and heavier than me being four sizes smaller!
Best of luck!

 

[Shirleen]

Am a bit miffed but will soldier on!

Well done on your loss, I agree with Clare, a loss is a loss however much it is.
It is lovely when you come down in sizes, I have sizes 22 and 20's in my wardrobe that have only been wore once or twice, new jeans and tops, I would like to get into them by Christmas that my Christmas wish, then in the new year go out to the sales, to actually buy from other shops then Evans or online catalogues etc.

Hey everyone!

Hope you all had a good week! I have to say I very much enjoyed my first week, was great to be able to eat proper food having been on a VLCD. I also enjoyed the gym which I never thought I would! And it obviously works as I lost 9lb!!! Cant believe it!! Best of luck for the next week!
