ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

Hi butterflies,

I have put 2 photos on my album, horrible pictures but they can only get better.

A third of the way through.

Sorry for the nightie but wanted to wear the same on every picture, it was all I could think of and can't go back now.

Wow Louie Lou!!! What a great weight loss! It sure does show really well in the pictures! What a great idea to do the pictures.
 
louie lou, WOW look at your chin, and tummy, well done, actually "bloody well, done" xxx
asa dont worry honey. just take every day as you can, just make it a loss every week, even 1lb a week would be over 2st in 6 months, so 2lb, is over 2st in 3 months, you can do it luv, and we'll support you whatever you do, xxx
 
i just went to get measured for a bra, im now a 30 jj, i was a 38jj/38k, i was wearing a 34 jj, the lady couldnt believe my back is so small, i measure with a tape, 34in, so according to size charts i should be a 38 k. the lady in john lewis, says, they never use a tape, but, physically fit them, its always a perfect fit then. i always use john lewis they are the best fitters, and stock most sizes, but dont do a 30 jj, so i need to surf the net now, xxx
 
Claira - wow - that is a change and a half!!! You are so petite on your back now!! I went for a new bra on Saturday too - and got measured at 32GG. Debenhams did a similar thing to John lewis - have you tried bravissimo.com. You can order from there, try the bra's on and if you don't want them - send them back for free (most places make you return items at your cost). I might then look on ebay for the same bra but cheaper!

Asa - you are not letting anyone down. You are also doing really well, one day is good babe! Please don't give up - just take one day at a time. Tomorrow is a new day for us both...... I might have a bar now! ha ha!! Just keep focussed babe, as you are doing so well - and I couldn't bear it if you left too!
 
Jane - wow, there is so much difference in those pictures! You face looks so much slimmer - as well as your tummy and arms!! That is an amzing difference, and thanks so much for sharing!

I am really happy for you, as you have lost so much - and I have a feeling that your nightdress won't be in the pictures soon - as you will hide under it, and not show your new body!! Also it will be too big!!

Well done hunny - and thanks again for sharing! I think you need to get a new one of your slim face to put up!!

Evening girls, I had a fab day up London today with Hubby for our Anniversary. We visited Sea life Aquarium, went on a catamarang(spelt wrong but you know what I mean- posh, fast, boat) up to the 02 and viewed he Bodyworks exhibition and had lunch at a latin resteraunt called something Iquana's. I was a good girl and had grilled chicken which came with sweet potato amd butternut squash which I only had a few forks of cos I know there not on the 810 list. I felt guilty for eating the 3 cherry tomatoes that came with it, how sad am I lol. The thing is I didn't even want the naughty options on the menue and I was quite shocked at how my thinking has changed towards food. Usually if I have been on a diet for this long and done well I would have had a food treat day by now and let myself free to gorge on all my favourites but this time it just wasn't there, I felt totally in control-I'm so chuffed.

Anyway I will stop babbling, it's late must go to bed. Hope you are all well. Will post some pic's on here tomorrow of me in London.

Louie Lou, you look great on your new pic, such a difference. xx
 
I am not leaving the forum for sure, maybe just CD, haha. I enjoy talking to you all way to much for leaving :D.

Well done on your food choices Zoe! You did really well.

Claira, wow, that sounds really small around the back. Happy bra hunting! I am still wearing the same as when I started CD, but they don't fit as well now. They were a little too small when I started CD as well.

Have a nice day everyone! I am off to work, tonight I am going to a friends house for a knitting evening :D
 
Hi Butterflies,
My apologies again. I just don't like to come on when I've been cheating- I'm in denial and I don't want to face up to it.
So far I've kept my weight stable because although I've not been on CD, I've not been eating loads. Yesterday, however, my darling 17 year son old failed all his exams because he's so lazy and I was really depressed for him. Cos I know now his future's set with few job prospects. He did really well last year in his Standard Grades but this was his Highers (like A levels ) and he failed them all! So I went mad eating. I didn't think I was a comfort eater but I now know that I undoubtedly am!
Anyway, because I overate I'm absolutely starving today but I MUST get back on the wagon. So here's to a new day. One day at a time. SS for me today!
Claira, Sorry to hear you're struggling now. That's unusual cos you're so motivated- but think about your loss. You'll be really thin in no time, honest. It sounds like you're quite thin just now.
Louie, your pics are amazing. What a difference! But don't wear your nightie next time cos it's covering you up. Wear something tighter to show your new body off!
Asa I hope you're ok? One day at a time with me today?
Lady B, you're doing fab and thanks for message.
Skinny Zoe, what amazing losses! Well done!

This is fantastic stuff!!!! And what a day oout - I know exactly what you mean about the gorging on favourites When I used to go to a restaurant I would be freakishly excited at the thought of day honeycomb cheesecake and it was an opportunity to have all sorts of yumminess...the ful range of options never applied and there is no way in the world I would go to a restaurant and eat salad!! Not a chance!!! The other day I went for lunch and realised the whole menu is now open to me...not just the old favourites - this was rather nice :)

Its a glimpse into a new world isn't it??
 
So far I've kept my weight stable AND I didn't think I was a comfort eater but I now know that I undoubtedly am!

Hey Broxi, So sorry to hear about your son, my sister did something similar when she was younger, and got pregnant and a few other things besides...but now she has turned her life around in a most amazing way and is incredibly happy!! I think sometimes people just take different routes than the conventional ones...

On the plus side you've been maintaining - no small thing that! And realising you comfort eat is one step closer to not comfort eating... I found out yesterday that my work upsets me, really hurts somedays and I eat to make the pain of so much death a little easier. I'm hoping knowing this will help me just feel the bad stuff, rather than eating it with a side order of fries :) Thinking of you hon xxx
 
I have posted a few Pics of me and Hubby up London in my Album. Honestly it is my Husband and he is 34 even though he looks like hes 21 lol.
 
Thanks Contrary, you talk a lot of sense. Your job must be difficult. Mine is depressing cos of the lives of the kids I work with and I had a wee 14 yr old girl died in April with drug overdose. It all gets to you, doesn't it? Are you a cancer nurse? I can't remember what everyone has said before.

Has anyone heard from Witchy?

I'm not feeling well today and hope I don't have swine flu. My thoat is all swollen and sore and my neck and head are aching. I'm not good at suffering hence the reason for telling all you this!

Still managed SS today but the hard bit has still to come and I'm starving!
 
bless, lovely pics zoe, your doing fab. and well done on food choices xxx
i am sat here wrapped up in one of those boots clay wrap things, matts taken charlie shopping, im on my 4th day of ss, i think...
and feeling loads better for it now, after this im going for a nice shower and then nursery, x
broxi, dont worry as everyone says youve done well to maintaine, that can be the hardest part, good luck with ssing today, xxx
i cant wait to get this thing off, i have already come down from a 50in waist to a 37in, want to get to 28 or 30 around my tummy button bit, my hips are 41in so im
45-37-41 would like 38-28-36, but we'll see, dont think i'll get there today lol, will let you know the results if any,
victoria i think its you that does these, are they good, xxx
bethan do you get on ok with debenhams, i find them rubbish in bristol, they measure me at a 40 dd lol. they are always sooo wrong, maybe its just the bristol staff. they use a tape for the back measurement, here. i am going to look online now, and order a cheapy one from ebay for now x there are alot of 32gg s on there, just dont get simply me, they fall apart, i like panache tango 2, and all the freya ones eccept the olivia, xxx
 
BTW Zoe, you look lovely and your man's a dish! x My husband is actually 12 years younger than me!
 
broxi i was hungry first 2 days then yesterday was fine, your doing well, especially if feeling rough, keep warm, xxxx
 
broxi how about a pic of this hubby of yours, xxx
 
Claira, good to speak to you. How's the diet doing today?
 
I'll try to get some of my holiday pictures on but I'm not very good at that kind of thing! x
 
I really do want to get thin. I want to be able to wear anything. I don't know where I got the strength before as I don't seem to have it now. But I just need to think one day at a time. I think at first on this diet I was really depressed about it and just got my head down and suffered it to get thin but I'm on holiday now from work and I'm enjoying myself and I don't want that depression that I got before. Funny how today, I feel alright about diet (apart from being starving)cos I'm not feeling well anyway and I'm in bed. The hunger was never my problem though it was the cravings that killed me. Anyway, the end justifies the means. If I want to get thin I need to do this as other diets don't work for me.
