29 Stone Start Weight Diary by Lou

I don't purge on the higher days, I just have what I want within my mfp recommended cals, then on low days I'll have about 700-1000 cals. Drinking loads off water helps. Xx

Plus it's only every other day you'd have a low cal day so u just gotta get through one day before you can eat more again xx

Just worked out my body fat percentage online and I started at 52% , now it's 50% . not a vast difference but it's a drop and that's fine by me :)

I am now officially half fat lol!! Better than being more than half !

It's weird being so open about my numbers here, I never am in front of my friends, even my sister. But I guess I feel accepted here. No matter how much we have to lose, we're all on the same journey. Some will finish before others and I'll still be going in a years time.

Its hard being so big, I'm now at 28.2 stone. I look at other people who are the same and they look bigger than me but I think it's coz I'm
Tall, it's spread out more!
I'm so happy to be nearly into the 27s, starting at the 29s is scary. Since I was 22 I have been as heavy as my age. I have finally broken that trend :) I'll be 30 in feb and hopefully be about 22/23 stone by then. It's a fantastic feeling to be going in the right direction for once!
Also I've lost 24 lbs so far and that's the most I've ever lost! I am super proud of myself! X

No way! Don't take this the wrong way but I'd never believed that you weighed that much. It's a compliment, I'm not saying anything about how much your weight is if you know what I mean? Anyway the limited people that know roughly what I weigh don't understand how I can weight that much by looking at me but I weigh really heavy compared my dress size. You're doing a really great job though keep it up, you've lost nearly 2st it really is something to be proud off, for some reason I though I was heavier than you :) xx
 
I really don't think I worded it right, the way it was meant to sound seemed better in my head sorry x

I know what you mean! The few people I've told didn't think it either and they've seen all if me. I think I carry it well.
But I don't wanna carry it any more that's the thing. Joe is worried I'll be a different person when I've lost weight but I don't think I will be. I'm worried about how it'll feel to be a normal size. I think I'll still think I'm huge ! I've become quite hard skinned over the years from people being rude in public so when I do venture out I'm a proper ***** coz I expect people to say stuff or gawp at me. It'll be hard to let go of that.
Joe loves big women, we met on a website that is specifically for men looking for big women, so I'm worried he won't like me as much when I'm
Slimmer. But, I think he's fallen for me inside too, he says I'm quite addictive :) so I shouldn't really worry!

What are you looking forward to when you've lost your weight? Xx

People usually know what they're attracted too but now he'll have fallen in love with you, I don't think that would change because you lose weight. You'll be happier, healthier and he'll prob enjoy seeing you happy. At the end of the day you need to lose this weight for you and it'll get harder the older you get.
I'm looking forward to people seeing the old me and I don't want to be one of these women that has children and 'let's herself go' I want to wear all the nice lovely clothes I've got and not cringe everytime hubby see's me naked :) x
 
Lou - I am so VERY proud of you :D :D
 
I understand what you mean, being hardskinned.... I'm the same :)

You are doing fab Lou, I like the idea of the SF/cal count & low-cal day, good plan.. :)

Here's to a great loss again next week!!x
 
Bleurgh is how I feel today :( haven't been to the loo for 2 days and feel all bloated. In fact I am bloated coz my tummy is sticking out and now I look like I haven't lost any weight at all :( not good for this wedding on Friday. People are all saying they can't wait to see me since I've lost some weight.
All I've had today is 2 bowls of fruit and fibre and I've decided I'm just gonna have water until it all cones out. I feel like I'm making it worse by eating more and I want to flush it out. I also have toothache :(
I bought a slinky black dress to wear at the evening do on Friday but now I'll look like an even fatter whale in it if my tummy doesn't go down by then. I am not looking forward to weigh in on Friday at all :(

Awww no :(
I hope you get to "go" soon, being bunged up is awful. Some say green tea helps, if you have some. I think eggs are meant to be good too, so I prescribe scrambled eggs, a cuppa green tea, and get your Leslie on for a little while, that might help get things moving x

Im sure you'll still look fab in the dress, even if you dont feel it. You've lost such a lot of weight so far, people will still see a difference hun. Please dont feel too downhearted.

Hugs & positive vibes coming your way xx
 
Hey hun, you'll prob do much better than you think! I hope you get sorted out soon in time for wi x
 
:( Fingers crossed your able to "go" soon, I'm sure your still going to lose weight this week, don't fret (Though I know this is hard) and you will look fabulous for your do, I'm positive of this :D

Keep up the good work your doing so well (Ive been sneaking a look at your diary, and your so positive and dedicated it spurns me on!!) xxx
 
Have you ever tried benefiber? I buy it from asda but I would imagine you can get it from most supermarkets. You just add a couple of teaspoons into a cup or tea or yoghurt & you can't taste it. It does have calories but from memory I think it's only about 40 cals per serving

I hope you feel better for the wedding... I think we need a pic of you in your slinky black dress x

Thank you.
No I've not tried that stuff. Will look it up online.
I'm feeling a bit better today , not so bloated and heavy feeling but I haven't lost any weight :(
I doubt I'll lose tomorrow but I know I will next week so that's ok.
Like I've said before, I'm never giving up so one little blip won't affect me in the end.

As for the pic of me in the dress... I don't know if I'm brave enough! Will maybe just do one of the top half of me :p

At least take a picture for yourself, even if you dont like it at the time, and dont show anyone.
Use it for a "during" shot :) x
 
what a day!! wedding was lovely and i blubbered like a div and everyone was staring at me! lol. my sister looked amazing and her daughter, 6 month old isabelle, was in a matching dress with pink accessories, wheeled down the aisle before her mum in a pink car walker with just married number plates and a pink balloon :)

i didnt eat loads, one plate of buffet and a half a curry but a HELL OF ALOT OF ALCOHOL!!!

i saw loads of people i havent seen for a while and they all said they could see i'd lost weight. it was also the first time most people had met joe, or socialised with him and it was so nice coz everyone said they thought he was fab and could see how much happier i am with him since my ex husb was a total dick!

all my friends were nagging me to dance and i didnt at the beginning coz there were loads of people there i didnt know, but when they had all gone home, and it was just family and close friends left i got up and did some dancing!!! i havent danced in public for about 12 years! it was great fun! joe is an amazing dancer so everyone was watching him and not paying any attention to me wobbling away :p its really made me want to push on with the weightloss and get to a point where i can dance without needing a rest everyother song! i said to joe that when i lose my weight i wanna go out dancing with him, was so much fun!

me and sis, we are twins, are 30 in february, so she said she wants to have a massive party and hire somewhere out, to celebrate. so thats my next goal. its 4 months away (4th feb) so i wanna get another few stone off by then for some serious partying :)

i weighed just now and i have put on but i really dont care!! i knew i would, but im back on it tomorrow. im so hung over today i need a bit of stodge. gotta pick up joes car in the morning so i think we're gonna go down the beach for a walk to burn off some mini pasties and deep fried peppers and cheese!
