Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

Hello ladies.....thought I would pop in & say hi! I know I have been awol for 5 months & it looks as tho quite a few of the 'regular 119ers' have gone walkies as well lol!
Great to see you both.....Donna & Nikki.....loving hearing about the wedding.....cant believe its only a few months away.

Unfortunately my weight has sky rocketed through inactivity & basically eating the wrong things, so serves me right. We went to Bahrain in September & on the plain going out there I twisted my knee (damaged the AC joint) so had to rest that for ages & my neck/shoulder problem was ongoing even after seeing 3 seperate private Consultants! In the end I went back to my GP as it was getting worse & went to see another shoulder specialist (NHS) & within 2 minutes (no exageration) he told me I needed surgery! Luckily I got a cancellation, so had surgery early December......& here we are......I am officially a weeble lol!
However, started back to healthy eating on Jan 5th & dug out the static bike, but hubby bought me a turbo trainer which arrived yesterday so super excited about getting on that. Im not allowed out on my road bike incase I jar the shoulder.....not complaining too much as I dont like cycling in the cold lol!

To top it off Im on HRT patches, which bloat me like a puffa fish & you ladies know what I'm like with water retention.....so I'm guzzling the water like a tap & started taking herbal water tabs yesterday! The joys of getting older! :(

So, I've been reading some threads and see there is a new plan....looks interesting, but a bit confused on what Hex's you can have on it.....anyone? I'm not going to be following SW to the letter because I just get too obsessed, but will be following the principles of it. I'm notoriously a slow loser, so want to lose 2 stone by July cos going to a Summer Ball and then I'm off to Bahrain again......probably be too hot to be outside, but still need to fit into summer clothes which I certainly cant at the moment!:eek:

Great to be back! :p

Kim!!!

Glad to see you back :D Sorry to hear you've had a tough time though.


I've not tried following the new plan, I have a feeling it would just confuse me, so I'm sort of doing the old plan. I think I'm doing it like you are though, just sort of following the principles as I also get too obsessed-for the same reason, I am not joining group again-as I got way too obsessed with weight. I'm weighing each Tuesday at the gym instead.
 
Haha glad we're signing from the same song sheet Donna! I told myself I wouldn't come back on here, but Nikki PM'd me yesterday and it was so nice to hear from her, it brought back happy memories of the 9 - 8's! Not that it had bad ones, just my demons lol! Plus I missed you all & wanted to catch up on all the wedding talk! I'm sort of doing Red as want to cut back on the carbs as I was eating far too many! Good to be back......sort of lol!

Yeah.... I sort of feel out of place on here now, as not desperately trying to get into the 8's... but we had some lovely times on here and wouldn't want to miss out on how everyone is doing :) even if a few are AWOL, wouldn't want to miss people if they do come back.


I'm still not sure what I want to get to for the wedding, aiming for 9 stone 7 to start with then going to decide if I want to lose more or not based on how I feel and not just going after a number
 
Did you not buy your dress a while ago Donna? Why not just go by how the dress feels on you rather than those dreaded numbers on the scales! Are you still running? x

Yay so glad you've come back Kim. As I've always said your the voice of reason and you really really help me, with everything!

I've joined back at slimming world and I've got the new book so when I get a minute I'll get my laptop out and type up the basics for you, or I'll take pictures of each page and can email you both?

I'm 12lb heavier than when I bought my wedding dress so I'm hoping to get that off by the end of February and then for my hen weekend I want to have lost 2stone.
 
Thanks Nikki.....I'll PM you.

Here we go again girls......I vowed never to be in this position again, but yet again here I am!

Life happens though Kim and hopefully you'll be up in the mend soon now you've had your op.

We are here to support each other and in the past we have done a blinking good job of doing it!

I've been looking into my weight loss goals and after much consideration and double checking my height over and over again I know the 119 is achievable for me. So this is my wedding aim ? after the wedding it will project baby number 2!

My friend is hoping to get married in October 2016 so I'm hoping baby 2 will be here and I'll be back into shape by her wedding.

My lovely sister is 3 months pregnant so I've got a very busy year ahead and can't wait for millie to a cousin!!
 
Oooo that would be lovely if you didn't mind emailing them Nikki?


I did order my dress a while ago Kim, but got measured for it just before Christmas, I am still wanting to lose a little before the wedding-we'll see how I get on. Although after a stressful day at work we had take-away curry, naan and wine tonight.


Aww Nikki-you have a busy few years. We're hoping baby No 2 will be here in 2016 as well. Hoping I can manage to have a healthy pregnancy next time though, with Mack I gained such a silly amount.
 
Hi everyone. Been a long time since I've came on here but I'm back. And I'm 10 stone :(. I was around 8:10 when I last left. But had a crap year with a lot of death and sickness so I've no more excuses this year and I need this off. Plus I hsve been approved for surgery and I've went on out half a stone on. Ugh. Need to get to 9.7 at least. I've been doing slimming world for a week now and put on 0.5!!! Although Tom came this morning on weigh in day and I've also started doing inanity again from last Monday. So hope it's just water weight
 
I know how you're feeling Charliemae as Im in the same boat, so lets knuckle down and get that poundage off!

Me too charlie & Kim. Got into some appalling food habits so resetting everything with a 9 day clean 9 detox.

Days 1 & 2 you have 120 cals of protein shakes (only 1 per day :cry:) and loads of supplements / aloe vera gel shots / fibre sachets
Days 3 - 9 you have 240 cals of protein shakes (2 per day) + 600 calorie dinner and loads of supplements / aloe vera gel shots / fibre sachets. So basically 840 cals per day.

They recommend exercise on days 3-9 (which I do anyway) so for most people, mathematically you should actually lose about 4lbs of actual fat and probably a few extra pounds of fluid retention / water weight. Obviously if you're heavier you would lose more fat because your BMR is way higher.

It's very tough but last time it got me in the 8s. It wont do it this time because i'm too close to 10s following christmas / december partying but I'm already feeling way better and in much more control. Just what I needed.

I'm sure this time next month we'll all be a lot closer to our 8 dream :)

Nothing is going to taste better than getting back there - cliche I know but so true. Being in the 8s feels good every single day. Eating chocolate only feels good for 30 seconds.
 
I'm on a very strict time frame :(. Boo y did I let myself do this. Last week I had bread as my Hexb. So this week I'm cutting it out. Just stocked up on Alpen lights. I've a nite out to a pizza place on Friday with a close friend I havent seen. So I'm gonna enjoy Friday night. And be 100% the rest. Plus cut all my syns down and my exercise. I better have a loss come Monday
 
Sometimes it takes a while to get back into the swing of it Donna so hang on in there.....you know what its like.....we've been there done it so many times lol!
 
I only lost 1lb this week. Was slightly gutted because I thought there would a fair bit of bloat but obviously not! I did have 3 off plan days though so can't complain!

Anyway, great news yesterday, we sold our house!!! Finally after a year of it being on the market. We have had a meeting with the wedding planner and made lots more plans for the wedding. Sorted invites out and nearly paid it all now! Just awaiting a cheque for my car crash last February and we need to go ring shopping!

Sorry I've not had chance to email you Kim and Donna had a super busy weekend so it's on my to do list for this week xx
