Hi elejesu - don't worry, there are 2 Claire's on here so it's bound to get a bit confusing, I'll answer to anything though ;-)

MsJMC - yeah people are always telling my oh how much he looks like lewis when we go shopping and stuff, to be honest I don't think he does that much anymore but there must be a similarity coz so many people tell him! Lol! I still cant believe how close you live to his Mum, Im so jealous! He's just amazing, such a talented and sweet guy!

Yes doing talks at work needs a lot of prep but I do then regularly so have got then quite sorted now, I enjoy the one to one part of my job best though, I agree that this week has flown!!

Well done on your 2lb loss. I know it's not as much as you hoped but it's all good if you're losing. I have weighed myself this morning. I'll weigh tomorrow for you guys but my official WI is Monday. I have put 1lb on according to the scales this morning :-( I could honestly cry! I've been 100% all week, can't understand why I'm not losing!

Bit fed up again. Have a good day all x x

 

[MsJMC]

morning claire
the scales really can break people , if you've been good and the scales don't show that , it could mean inch loss or holsing onto water .
Lewis , was brought up in stevenage , he still regards this as home , why i don't know he came back to show his girlfriend , who was in pussycatdolls where he was brought up and his old house ....
and school , which he came back to not long ago .
its good that you enjoy your job , the talks you seem pretty much used too .
with me i'm going to look into a diet change as its hard diet , but will have a look shortly .
i have to go pay bills soon , the kids are off for one week and an inset day too , blimey ... got to think of something to do .
i was thinking of getting the argos deal for camping , the tent but not 100% if i'm up for it ....
its good if you can go with lots of you ...
halfords have a good deal on , so do argos too .
will think on it .
hows all of you ?

hey guys, sorry i havent been around lately, me and my boyfriend have moved homes so things have been MANIC!!!!!! plus my head really hasnt been in the game at all so i thought i'd answer the questions mentioned before to re-analyse myself a bit

1) What is my goal?

Ideally i want to be 9stone as this is a healthy weight for me.

2) Why do I want to achieve this goal?

To be healthy, to not be 'the fat girl', to not be 'pretty if i wasnt so big', to not sweat and go red-faced and get out of breath so easily, to feel more attractive to my boyfriend, to feel better about how i look, to feel more confident, to not feel like such an outcast amongst other people, to not look like and act like such a pig and then wish i hadnt! To get nicer clothes that actually look nice too, to have an achievement of reaching a healthy weight, to ease the pressure on my knee as im likely to get arthritis in it, to not have bingo wings/stretch marks/thigh fat/belly rolls! To not take up so much space on the bus people dont want to sit next to me cuz they think they wont fit on the seat beside me lol

3) If I do not achieve it, what pains will I have?

Mental/emotional pain of failing at something i want to do, feeling self conscious and embarrassed about my body. Physical pain in my knee, feeling uncomfortable walking around or getting out of breath.

4) If I achieve it, what happiness will I have?

Happiness and confidence in my body (maybe not total but definitely more than i have now)

5) What will happen to me if I continue my current situation for the next 10 years?

I can say 'goodbye' to the chance of better health and 'hello' to a continually growing bum!

6) Then when do I want to take action? Now, today, yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ladies! Some great losses, well done! I'm so jealous. I agree that some are slipping a little, I know I am. Got very down and disheartened this week and didn't follow diet yesterday at all. Ate a lot of cake!!

Back on it today though and feeling quite determined again, need to be slim! I think I just got fed up with not seeing the scales move, but going to cut down the amount of weeklies I use this week and see if that makes a difference!

I have been trying to exercise too but passionately hate it so am not very motivated :-(

How's everyone? I have Monday blues as had a few days off last week - don't want to be back at work today! x x

hi i dont want to butt in but i decided to do a search on this website "i ate a lot of cake" and yours came up i'm afraid i did eat a lot of cake yesterday weighed myself this morning not too bad, but now i've just eaten a few more slices :sigh: its just soooo good i'm not going to eat any more now, damn you betty crocker damn you!!!!

 

[elejesu]

I know io must stay on a diet , that i know .

[MsJMC]

Good morning people ...
Well as you know , i'm out today and its going to be food layed on ..... I know commitment is crucial , many of us manage to stick with a regime for a few weeks, only to come unstuck , say birthday party , wedding , holiday , so why do we do that ? is it an excues to cheat ?
saying well it was a party , i had no choice ?
for me trying to lose weight for year years now , often half heartedly... tomorrow i will update you all of what happened , we all know losing weight to start with is the easy part , it really is staying on it thats the hard part .
I was reading about Katie price last night about how she lost 2 stone in 6 weeks , on her juice diet , shes one strong headed woman i'll give her that ... i know shes in the limelight so she must do it , because the media love to take a snap of you with a belly ... shock horror shes got an apron lol
so why don't we all pretend the paps are after us lol
ok ..... so hows all today ready for weigh in , go on , i know you want to step on the scales ..... hehe
well i guess i won't be on now till sunday , put i'll be watching you all ok

 

[indiebabe]

Mjsmc - good luck with your plan today! I know it's so hard when we have socialising to do, I don't think it's an excuse to break diet I just think it's easy to do when you're bot in charge of the food in front of you!

I have a busy and social day too so I'll probably not be on here much....will be reading messages on my phone though

Good luck with WI everyone. I don't weight til monday but have just done it for your stats and ive lost 1lb! Fingers crossed I can keep it off til Monday x x

 

[Sarahj79]

Morning All,
How is everyone today? I lost 3.5 pounds this week, which considering 3 days were WS days, I'm pretty pleased, so far two people have commented that I've lost weight and they didn't even know I was dieting, yey!!, going to mum and dads for a few days over half term, not worried diet wise though as they know I'm doing it and they are on WW so are pretty health conscious at the moment.
Jackie - my Aunt and Uncle used to live in Stevenage, they have moved to Essex now, in fact most my family live in Essex, that's where I'm from really, my parents live in Braintree.

I did some overtime last night, 9pm til 2am, wasn't too bad, think of the money, bit tired today though, had my BL bar for breakfast this morning, had a couple of pints of water so far, feeling pretty positive today.

Hope everyone is having a lovely morning, bit grey here, never know might brighten up , by the way I'm not actually embarrassed, but my 3 year old daughter wanted me to use the pink smiley face x

 

[halloweenqueen]

Morning!
Well done on your 3lb loss - that's fab!

[Bellerine]

Hi there
I didnt realise there was such a chat going on here. I might have checked in sooner. I didnt keep to plan very well this week so just a 2 lb loss for me I'm afraid.

Thats 8 down and 62 to go.

(Mini Goal - I want to lose 4 lbs this week - I want to get down into the 50s)

[MsJMC]

hi bellerine .
well done 2 is good , i will put it down .
theres always chat going on here or shall i say the sound of keys plugging away lol
you still did well to lose 2 , what happened last week for you , you said you didn't do as well

 

[Bellerine]

Hi MsJMC

I'm doing exante and I have to say it is easy once you get on it and allow yourself to settle on it. THe weight loss is amazing. But I keep sabotaging myself. I get through the whole day and once night falls its as though I turn into a different person - a person who doesnt care if they are on a diet or not and eats.....

Anyhow I woke up several times thinking "Why WHy Why Why did I eat that.." It was pure emotional eating and self sabotage.

Having said all that I got great advice and support on the Exante forum and I am now on Day 4 100% Total Solution and very happy to be back on plan. But theres gonna be a hell of a lot of early nights for me this summer!!

Great Thread btw.

Belle
