[angelupnorth]

They sure do Yolande.


Ive just had a little shopping spree,
2 skirts 1 x size 16 and 1 x size 18
1 pair of trousers size 16
and 5 new bra's ( no change of size there yet lol )

My bottom half is shrinking fast but my back is still very broad, I tried a 20 jacket and it went no where near me !

It never comes off where you want it to but but so long as it comes off I can live with my back being last lol

Im pleased your getting used to the compliments as your going to get even more as the next few months go by x x x

 

[Yolande]

Oooo a nice little shopping spree you done there =D Im the same bottom half is going much quicker than the top i am defo an apple shape =/ Im now a comfortable 16 on the bottom i have no bum left ha ha but the top is an 18 although my belly has shrunk a lot its still huge so still feel the need to cover it with baggy tops and it will prob be the last to go but as long as it goes il be happy. My chest tho has shrunk significantly the girls are disapearing my e cup is getting loose now shortly im gona be a d cup. Its just my beast of a belly that still gets me down i swear i cant wait until its gone im gona do the happiest happy dance ever LOL

Hi AngelupNorth, just read your complete diary, it's fabulous to read. You must be so proud of how far you've come! Well done! I'm very jealous, hopefully in 8 weeks time i'll be in the same position as you guys! Can't wait to get there!

Angel
I know what you mean about clothes - I am now a size 16 below and an 18 on top. The problem I am having is fat knees which don't look great in shorter skirts or jeans and they are made worse by the fact that I have thinnish lower legs. I have a lovely size 18 dress which ends above the knee and I know that by the time I have thin knees the dress will be too big.
A few people have told me that I don't need to lose more weight - I think some are being polite and others may resent the fact that I am losing weight. My friend just took ,y halfway photos and I definitely don't want to stay where I am!

 

[angelupnorth]

Well girls and boys, Today is day 60 on SS and I am still loving it !

A girl I work with NEVER EVER pays compliments but yesterday I had 2 from her about my weight loss. It was a great feeling and I know I wasnt hearing things lol.

I had a huge clear-out of some larger sized clothing I had and have bought myself some GENUINE Jimmy Choo wedding shoes with some of the money raised !

I am ecstatic.

Counting down to a wedding with friends in 9 weeks, last socialised with them on New years eve and I wont see them again before the wedding so the difference they will see should be a big one, Cant flipping wait !

 

[angelupnorth]

Week 9 weigh in today and I have hit the 3 STONE LOSS

18 inches lost overall and I am thrilled.

21 days of my 1st 12 weeks on SS and I am already planning what I can have, not because I want food but because I want to be prepared mentally for the change.

19 weeks until my wedding so that COULD be another 3 or 4 stone off before the big day, 3 stone more would be great, 4 stone would make me the happiest bride ever although just getting married will make me so happy but the weight loss just enhances how happy I am.

Off to my venue with my mother in law before work and Ive not seen her since January, She isnt one for compliments so lets see if she notices my loss. There are a few people who have said Im looking well but are being polite and not asking if Ive lost weight but I want the whole world to notice.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Well done, great results. Love your dedication. I'm now 1.5lbs off 4 stone loss since Jan 31. I struggle with the compliments as to me it just highlights how bad I must've looked before. I so need to work on my mindset! The 810 week is fine, I found food didn't taste as nice as is thought it would & it was annoying as it took time. I was happy to let it go & although I'd planned to drop to ss+ I've gone straight back to ss. Sure you'll be fine.

 

[Yolande]

WOOP WOOP WELL DONE that is amazing!!! I am gona go out on a lim here and say you are gona be 4 stone lighter by your wedding only cos of your dedication and determination!!! Ah it makes me happy when nice people as yourself have a good loss =D

 

[angelupnorth]

Thanks chicks. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it !

x x x

Angel, can't wait to hear your MIL's reaction to your weightloss! She will definitely notice if she hasnt' seen you since January!! Interesting whether it will be be a silent or vocal reaction? It is interesting to see different reactions from people to weightloss. I agree with Yolande, I think you'll end up losing more than you orignally set out! Defo another dress or huge alteration job on your last dress? x

Morning all

Quick update as had a very busy week at work and not off until Tuesday ( lots of overtime for wedding yipee )

Mother in law did indeed notice the loss but to be honest she would have had to be blind not to notice lol. She didnt say too much but did say I looked a lot slimmer, I just said I had cut down since Xmas. I wont see her again now until Mid July so there will be even less of me for her to see then lol.

I have a full new work uniform now and feel soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better, I am in the same size 16 skirt I was in 10 years ago which is amazing !

I bought some Reebok shape up trainers for my walks and shall do a long walk in the morning before work. I have also been wearing my Slender-tone belt for an hour every other day ( everyday when I have been able to fit it in ) and my tummy is getting better / not good by a long shot but its getting better.

Just over 18 weeks til our wedding and Vegas and I just cant wait. Just hope my dress does fit as I will not be changing it again, I love it so would just have to have it taken in.

Week 10 weigh in less than 48hrs away and Im TOTM ( typical after last weeks good loss ) Not long left before I have to ss+ and I am planning ahead for it so I don't fall off the wagon. I left my packs at home one day during the week so had to rush and buy a egg salad from MS so I now have spare packs in my work case ( I work on trains ) Apart from that another good week so fingers crossed for another loss although I cant help but think one week the scales will not be so kind x x x

 

[angelupnorth]

Morning all, not been on here as much as I would like but working lots of extra shifts etc. week 11 weigh in was a day early yesterday and another 3.5 lb off, total to date 3 and half stone in 11 weeks, which is AMAZING !
I am constantly looking for new clothes now as none of mine fit with the exception of a few key items I kept from my thin days over 10 years ago ?.
17 weeks till the wedding and I will be happy with another 2and half stone off but would be the happiest bride ever if I could get another 3 and half stone ( total would be 7 stone off )
Still feeling great and now looking forward to step 2 from next weekend which will be strange but I have been getting my head around what I am allowed and planning ahead for food to have in the house, lots of prawns in the freezer, tinned tuna and may have a omelette one day. cold salads are ideal for work days but the omelette will be a nice change to have something hot.

Going to catch up with everyone's diaries this afternoon but Hope your all doing ok and staying on track, summer is just around the corner girls and were all going to feel and look so much better

 

[AnnieAnnie]

Great result as always Angel. I made a batch of the lentil dahl soup from the cd booklet & split it in to 4 so it was already portion controlled & I couldn't pick at more. In the end I needn't have been worried as I wasn't tempted. I forgot how much time cd frees up & I was too busy that week to bother with food. Not eating meat or fish the 810 wk was suitably dull. Off for my weigh in 3 days early, totm & up to step 2 so I'm not hopeful for anything!

 

[Yolande]

Hey Angel well done on another amazing loss soooooo very happy for you!!! I was very nervous about doing my 810 week but i ended up really enjoying it who knew a salad could taste soooo yummy =D

 

[Daisy65]

Well done - you must feel so excited about September now. I have tried not to buy too many clothes but, like you, I don't have a wide selection from thinner days. Sticking to cheap jeans - Dorothy Perkins did a deal - two or £25. T-shirts are pretty timeless. My problem is work as I have to look smart and a lot of tops are just hanging off me.. Not that i'm complaining - don't want to fill them up again!

 

[angelupnorth]

Thanks everyone, Keep up the good work girls x

Morning all,

First of all sorry Ive not been on here much but working as much overtime as I can to pay for the wedding ( 16 weeks away, gulp )


Week 12 weigh in this morning and another 3.25lb off bringing my 12 week total to 3STONE and 10lb. I am AMAZED and truley thrilled with the losses so far and cant believe how much better I feel and look.
I am getting compliments on a daily basis which is fab and I have also joined a Gym which is attached to the station where I am based so I can go before work.

I need now to stop buying size 18 and they are now a tiny bit lose and need to start thinking of 14's for my honeymoon in 16 weeks. I know a 14 is still " large " to some people but a few short weeks ago I was a 24 so I can not express enough how the sound of a size 14 makes me feel.

I am now on step 2 for the next week and shall have a prawn and mixed leaf salad later and tomorrow when hubby to be is enjoying his fry up I shall have a nice mushroom omelette.

I have to admit I am very lucky in the fact I have found the 12 weeks relatively easy but I do think its mind over matter with Cambridge and you need to be in the right mindset for SS. I guess my wedding is enough motivation to keep me going and I would love another 2.5 stone off in the next 16 weeks but you know what If I don't do it in time for the wedding I will know I gave 100% and will get right back on track after our 10 days in Vegas.

I will be slim by Xmas although People keep telling me Im slim already, I guess at 5ft 7 I am quite deceiving ( thankfully )

Keep up the good work everyone, I will try and catch up with everyone's diary's asap x x x

Hi well done for your weigh in

I want to aim for a size 14 and dint think that's still big at all ESP considering your height. I'm 5th 9 so I know what you mean about it being deceiving. I usually look a dress size smaller than I am which like you say is good but it means others and ourselves don't notice and r able to carry on for longer before weight is noticeable

 

[Yolande]

Another great loss Angel so very very pleased for you =D Have a good week on step 2 i found it really strange the first couple days but really enjoyed it and still had a very good loss that week too. Youa are doing amazing girl x
