Afghanistan weight loss diary - C25K WK1,2,3,4+5 - Complete!

Hi Lauren
Have read your diary - which I think is great - and posted once before. I am ashamed to say this is my third time doing VLCD each time putting some weight back on - but never all of it.
Wanted to comment on the packs - I have a spreadsheet with my loses, and the first time I did it I had three packs per day. When I met my current counsellor, she insisted because I am 5'9" that I should have four - and at the end of the 12 weeks both times I had lost exactly the same amount.
This time (my last time :)) I am losing slightly quicker on 4, but I am going to the gym. I intend to get right to target (for the first time) and then go through maintenance - another first.
Good luck with the rest of your CD journey - not that I think you'll need it.

Aw Lauren - don't beat yourself up - you have had so much on your plate and done so well - But don't do it again...right! Glad you seem to have got your head back round it - any time you want to eat come on here - it really helps - or send me a text and I'll shout at you by text!! No pressure - but seriously you have been such an inspiration to so many of us that you can't fail(yourself or us!) now - what would we all do!! - as I said no pressure then ;-)
 
Hi Lovely Lauren --

How is your day going? I hope all is well with you.

Hi Nelli lovely to see you back chick! and thanks so much for the advice on packs, will be deffinately having the 4, just until im back into the swing of it, although yesterday i forgot and only had 3 lol im useless!! youll be smashing this time chick, i think sometimesu have to have a couple of crappy goes at it to really make you realise you want it! cant wait to see you shrink hun, let me know how your getting on! best of luck xxxx

Hi Lauren,

It's your diary rant if you want (or need to). I LOOOOOVVVVEEE the dress. It is a bit 60s retro and very glam. It's going to look smashing on you.

I am glad that you have considered how important it is for you take care f yourself now that your a mother.

Also, as the mother of a female -- my DD turned 12 yesterday -- it is important to set a good example on proper eating, etc. I do not like my DD is aware that I am doing a rather extreme diet to shed weight. I wish I had been able to get it off and be managing it properly by the time she was aware of my eating habits. I want my DD to never go through what I have with my weight/self esteem, etc. struggles.

So, congrats on getting this sorted whilst Lissy is so young.

MM

Hi again lol,

you have it the nail on the head! i blame my mum for my eating habbits, rewards of food etc, she has instilled so many habbits into me from being over weight all her life, she is now at goal from cambridge, and im still loosing weight, all of whichi absolutely dont want lissy exposed to, im hoping to be a healthy family, peter is so super fit, that i think lissy and our next baby would be ok anyway cos he will have them in the park playin football etc all the time, but still no one wants to have a fat mummy...

Hi Honey! So sorry you're struggling at the moment. Don't let it get you down. You are amazing and you can do it! The dress is absolutely gorgeous, by the way. :) I've also struggled to get back onto CD, but I'm taking it hour by hour, day by day. It's working for me. I'm going to start doing the 30 Day Shred again next week and also Davina and Zumba (not all in the same day, mind! :p). Maybe you can help me select a dress to wear for my friends' wedding in June, as I have no clue when it comes to dresses. :eek:

Thats wonderful about Curves chick, well done, its so hard to be motivated to do excercise when your whole life (me personally) youve sat on the couch lol but hey ho, its got to be done i suppose! Even half an hour seems daunting sometimes i think, but i now see it as a must, its not an option, i have GOT to excercise, or i will get fat again, very simple really! Hoping it becomes normal one day and less of a chore, but until then will keep plodding on!

How are you getting on with your diet hun, hour by hour seems to be the best way to get by, i find eventually you forget to count the hours, and your going week by week month by month, it all becomes second nature!

xxxxxxxxxx

So glad your feeling more up beat! And I bet your in a much better mood too....

Go girl!

Hi sweetie, yeah feeling heaps better and a bit of an idiot to be honest lol, but im back, and day 3 is here again lol, will finish this, refuse to let it beat me!

how are ou getting on?? xxx

Glad to know you are back. Peter is one lucky, fella!

MM

Ah Mel, your so kind, We are the lucky ones believe me, he is so super wonderful! Him and lissy are every reason in the world to smile xxx

well done - glad you are back in the zone. have sent you a friend request on facebook ;-) Off to bake breadsticks with my littlies now - joy. Working tonight so prob won't "see" you til tomorrow - keep going

Hi hunni,

Got your request then shot out to go on my manic mission day lol will reply to your email in a sec! thanks for adding me!! how did the breadsticks turn out?? hope your not too tired after work chick, speak later xxx
 
Good morning my loves,

Sorry didnt pop back last night, i was exhausted after a manic day so went straight to bed!!

Had a lovely day, was minding my next door neigbours little girl shes 6, so we walked to the park and the girls had a pic nic and walked back, it was freezing!!! deffiantely back in ketosis lol!

Lissy has her 9-12 month review as well an dpassed with flying colours, hip hip hurray!!

Have got some things to tryto et her to sleep better as well so going to start them in a couple of days, but she is teethign again, so one thing at a time lol, bit of a rough night last night but she slept in her cot until 6am, so im thrilled, baby steps in the right direction!

Finished week 1 of Couch to 5K last night as well, 3rd run well and truely done! Loving it still, but hmm ask me at about week 5 haha

Peter rang yesterday, really cheered me up, we had a good long chat, and we are now in compettion with ech other to reach our goals for his return, winner gets £200 extra for holiday clothes lol!!

My goal for him was to get the body back that he is comfortable with, 6pack etc, adn his goal for me... get to 6 stone lmao! not that hes cheating or anything! propper goal is to get to my goal weight and finally be happy in my skin.. not far off both to be honest!

Went to the post office with my `10 parcels, that was a work out by its self 2kg per parcel... thats aot of boxes to drag lol

Woke up today with no heating, i swear i live in the house that jack built, so waiting on an emergency appt, they should be here within 3 hours... tick tock!!

Even with my messing about this week, i have managed to lose 11lbs which is wonderful, 8lbs to go to be back to 14 stone 7lbs, then off we go agan losing new pounds and getting closer to goal!

i could spend the day being dissapointed that i could of lost a stone, but wheres that going to get me! so here we go new week, new motivation and new found respect for my body - if i dont look after it, no one else will!

hope you all have a wonderfu weekend, loads of love and speak to u tomorrow xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Thats the attitude hun, dont be so tough on yourself, TFR is a hard thing to do, esp when your feeling down, which is natural! Your bound to have down days esp with Peter going back to Trashganistan!

You have come so far in such a short amount of time, whats a few slip ups! Ive had a really rubbish few weeks of the diet but got back on it and set myself a target of 100 days at 100%, Ive done 12 days so far and I can do the other 88days!

Keep smiling and keep focused, you can do this! You know you can, sometimes it just gets misted over and you wonder if you can but you have already proven to yourself that you can.
 
Whoooooo well done on week 1 chick! Please dont batter me when you get to week 5 :rotflmao:

Loving your and Peters bet!!!!! Where are you off on holiday to?
Hope you and lissy have a lovely weekend :) xxx
 
oooh in that case I'm thinking skinny skinny skinny jeans and a nice tight top (as it will be warmish) xx 10 parcels ?? gosh Peter is lucky - what do you send him ? lol .. I cant really send Sam parcels while he's away he's never in one place long enough lol and their post takes sooooo long I can send something at the start of his tour and he gets it at the end lol .. this trip he goes falmouth/weymouth/italy/cruising round the med/gibraltar and god knows where else doh - so doesnt look like any pirate hunting this trip just good old sunshine for Mr Mole lucky sod ! nice ! lol xxx
 
Fantastic attitude lovely that is why u ha e done soooooooo flipping well ur so right if we don't do it nobody else will this is one thing we are in control of and if we do it we can reap the rewards in your case £200 :D bonus!!!!!
Good luck with heating and lissy sleeping have lovely weekend gorgeous xxxxxx
 
Hi Lauren,

I hope that you and Lissy have a lovely weekend. It sounds like you are in the zone and feeling postive -- that is good to hear. What a good neighbout you are... I'll bet Lissy loved having an okder girl around. The little ones are always so fascinated by other children.

MM
