ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

Hello lovely butterflies, sorry not been on its been such a mad week my head is wrecked but finally everything is back on track and Meg is happy and school have been sorted out etc so a line has been drawn under it.

Ive had my weight in today and lost 4Ib ok it wasnt the 14 I got last week but im happy plus Ive lost two inch my tummy so in the happy zone.

Tapes toy story this weekend and hmmm i think i know it word for word now with Georgie lol.

Hope you are ok.

Zoe your birthday sounds fab.
Contrary so pleased your still plodding honey.
Broxi, how is your diet going are you enjoying it??

Im having a virgin vie party tomorrow so wont be on.
 
Good evening all! How are you? I am still not feeling alright, dizzy, trying to have CD days, but never make it. I will give it a go this weekend. I got a bit scared when I got my head ace last Friday. Do any of you suffer from migraine? I never had them (maybe first one last Friday?). I think I should start CD again when I can rest all day :D. Have a nice evening!
 
Hi everyone, you are all very quiet this weather!
Witchy, I'm so glad you got that horrible business sorted out. It's awful as a parent to feel so powerless over your child's life and happiness. Brilliant about 4lb! That really is fantastic! On CD it all adds up so consistently that you just lose stones so quickly. Enjoy your Virgin Vie and I hope you get good pressies. I adore Virgin Vie stuff. I used to love Shiro but I don't think they do that any more.

Asa, sorry you're still not well. I get migraines at totm. And you know undoubtedly what it is as it's so different from other headaches.
Zoe, well done on the loss. It just keeps falling off! Watch your rings. I had the opposite problem. I had an amazing engagement ring that was my dad's to my mum. When he died my mum gave it to me to get remodelled. It was stunning with two huge diamonds. It was valued about £8000. I took it off because I had got fat and it was too tight and it got lost! I never had insurance. I now wear a fake from Asda at £24! I can hardly even think about it!
Contrary I hope things improve for you at work. Maybe you should look for something else. I'm on holiday just now and it's brilliant to be able to sleep without constantly worrying about the politics and the stresses of the job. I got this job a year ago and it has been stress from day one. It is very rewarding though but takes its toll on me. I am not looking forward to Sunday night!
Hi Allypally, good luck on the re-start! Hope you get into the zone.
I'm plodding along on my diet, loving it, finding it very easy but with no great results but it is going in the right direction which is something even if it will take me years! Don't think I'll lose this week as went down to 11st 4lb last Sat at weigh in but have been more than that every day since!
Got a new 48 inch telly and getting Sky on Saturday so looking forward to that as cosy for the winter! Problem is when I watch TV I want to eat. Psychologicial associations.
Anyway hope you're all doing well and missing all those butterflies that haven't been on recently! xxx
 
Asa I suffer with migraine's- not nice at all. I'm sure you will get back on cd 100% when you are ready.

Witchy well done on your 4lb loss and inch loss too, that is great. You have lost a brilliant amount since being back on cd -well done xx.

How is everyone?
 
Hi Broxi, nice to hear from you. That's awful about your ring, I would have been gutted too. Pleased to hear the diet is going well and that you are happy on it.

Allipally, glad you had nice hols. Hope you find it ok getting back on cd, I'm sure you will be fine.
 
Morning ladies,

Throwing it down here in Warwickshire! Asa I think you hit the nail on the head, for a restart when you've been on a CD a while (it defo gets harder each time) I think you do need a few days peace and quiet...plan your time, treats, how you're going to spend me the time and give yourself all the support you can... or maybe start at a higher plan and work down? I'm sure you'll know when it's right...maybe you do just need a wee break?

Broxi think you're doing so, so well on this diet. To enjoy it is really half the battle and to be losing gradually I think is a great sign for you. Wahoo! I like the sound of this diet, if I liked more of the meals I'd consider it as well.

Zoe I found a catalogue on specialist products for hair loss that came to my house for a previous tenant when I rented the house out. Sounds silly but maybe this is karma! If you're interested I'll send you the details...there's even a money off voucher/code thing. Also late last night somone posted on the main forum title hair loss and mini gave a great reply explaining it all... if you search the forum I think you'll find it and it might reassure you some.

I had a lousy night. Think I had a nightmare about work and woke up at 3am having somethig akin to a panic attack. Another nurse is sick now and I've gone from being a junior (been there 4 months) to a senior suddenly, they want me to manage the ward on my own because there's no one else when the sister's are off. Deeply uhappy because I haven't the knowledge or had any training or preparation for this and 21 patients (some extremely poorly) is a lot of responsibility without experience or senior backup. Work just say its lack of confidence and when I asked advise on a nursing forum they said the same so now feel maybe they're right? Very demoralised. Although in my heart I'm sure its not right or safe. Today I'm going to try and think of a plan. Draw up all the things I need to know about and maybe email the sisters to say I understand this is necessary but I am highlighting this need for more knowledge etc in these areas because currently I feel it is unsafe.

Can't think what else to do...

On a brighter note the scales are looking good. 10.9lb on mine - 2lb from goal (although I may reset it) and off for official weigh in this afternoon (but alwasy weigh heavier in pm). That's 4 stone and 1lb off. Should be dancing in the aisles but too flippen despondent about work to appreciate it! Will pull up my socks and report back when chirpier. Hope you're all well and smiley despite the rain xxxx
 
Hi Contrary, thanks for the info about the hairloss post, I will have a look for that in a min. I am taking supplements for the hairloss so I will see if that works too. Thanks for thinking of me hun x. That doesn't sound right to me either re you having to run the ward when the sisters are off. Is there anyone higher you can go to with your concerns? Your job must be stressful at the best of times without worrying because you feel you havn't the knowledge to do another job that you didn't sign up for. I hope things get better for you soon. Well done with the scales. 2lb away from goal -wow.
 
hi girls, ok i think im ready. house is looking better, lounge full of junk but my bedroom is lovely. i drove away from vets with my mobile on the roof the other day and watched it fly off as i hit the ring road, what an idiot lol. will have a new phone in a few days hopefully.
going to have cd tomorrow but off to inlaws for tea. then will hopefully ss from saturday. had 4 weeks off nearly now, gained about 1st maybe just under. so got some hard work to get back into it. well done jane 4lb is great. zoe your still doing well luv. contrary good going on nearly at goal. broxi its coming down. well done xx
and every one else hiya. xxx
 
thanks think im gonna need it. but gotta do it i feel uncomfortable now. and was in a good place at 11st 13lb, now not in a good place. so have to give it my all and think of the end goal, its not that far away. 3 st can be gone in no time. aiming for christmas still x
hope works a little better, bet your feeling fab with your loss, im 4st down from original weight and it feels so much better, xxx
 
morning guys!
Well, bit the bullet, weighed myself and hauled my fat arse back on the SS wagon!

Gain of 9lb in 5 weeks.... Not bad considering US portions, and the copious amounts of wine consumed on the Nappa Valley wine tour! :eek: Although I can't bear to move my ticker back up so it stays where it is until it starts going down again!! ;)

So, day one was, tough, but managed it, I wanted to eat stuff all day, none of it was remotely nutritious! Today is Day 2 and already it feels easier!

Broxi, I'm glad that you've found a diet you can live with.

Contrary, nursing is tough, I was a deputy ward manager before I gave it up for a better, less stressful life! I suspect that you are completely capable of managing a ward, but I have to say that half of being able to do it is confidence. If you lack confidence you will find yourself struggling to make decisions.... and then the job becomes difficult and stressful.

Asa, I hope that your migraine doesn't return... I used to suffer really badly, but haven't had one for years now!

Zoe your losses are looking good girl!

Claira..... give me your hand.... I haul you up on to the wagon!! We are ALL going to be fabulous for Christmas!
 
Morning girls, hope you are all well this morning.

Asa hope your headache has gone, mine had finally gone ive had it for two weeks, mine are stress headaches, when im stressed I click my neck and it strains it then im stuffed, I used Migrarelief it really works and a heat pad on my neck.

Contrary hope the stress is calming down for you you are more than capable so believe in yourself, and blooming well done for staying on track AND so near to goal well done im so pleased for you.

Broxi are you looking forward to sky tomorrow, Im just having my skybox in my bedroom removed and having sky+ put in so I can tape my fav programmes and stay in bed all winter hiding from the fridge lol. How are you anyway, not chatted in ages.

Claira how are you not too stressed not being home I hope xx

Zoe thank you hun, im really enjoying the diet and the Taibo too, kickboxing is ace, kids think it is ace too so enrolling them both on kickboxing selfdefence on Monday. How are you doing honey, we never seem to be on at same time these days.

Alipali, well done for getting on the scales and your right, ignore the ticker it will only depress you, but good luck with it all.

Well last night was ace. lots of people turned up so spent lots, so I got after buying my own things £35 extra to spend which was lovely.

Well ladies I will stop my ramblings haha.
 
hi all just back from weigh in and gained 2 lb....which was much less than I suspected as I'd had a very very bad weekend. Back on the waggon now though and going to aim to get 4lb off this week. How ru all?
 
Hey Faith good luck on the wagon hun, it blooming hard isnt it, all good here hope you are well.

Where are all the butterflies??

Have a good weekend girls
 
Evening all, it was my youngest Daughters birthday today-3 today. It only seems yesterday I was pregnant with her and huge and it wasn't all baby lol. So it's been a very busy day and just said goodbye to the last of the visitors and finally sat down.

Good luck to everyone who is getting back on cd this week you can do it xx.

Witchy, great results with the party, I hope you bought lots to pamper yourself.

Hope your all well this evening.
 
Zoe hope Megan had a lovely birthday give a big hug from the butterlies.

Bet your shattered.

Had a sneaky weight in today was totally amazed lost another three pounds so cant wait to get weighted on Wednesday even if they dont move again will still be happy.

Not sure what is going on with my body at the moment my top half (not including arms) are really slimming down, my mum bought me an inspirational blouse today totally beautiful and size 16, so I tried it on to see how far I have to go and OMG it fit, must be a fluke but was over ten years since I wore a 16 top so over the moon.

My biggest parts are the top of my legs and arms so im really hope they go down soon, my arms are half the size but they are still big so will continue to do Taebo everyday to try and tone them down to help with the diet.

All of a sudden my head has clicked to dieting its taken years but now im happy dieting and enjoying it, its not hard anymore I can see a total change and people are really noticing the difference, even mum and dad who have only been away for two weeks couldnt believe the change in such a small time so hears to a new us girls, we really can do this together.

Cant wait for a new me and a new us.
 
Morning ladies,

Witchy so great to hear that you're in the CD zone! And the joy of the 'top you dodn't expect to fit', fitting, is just a blissful feeling! With me it's always the bottom half...It takes me an awful long time to drop a size in the old thighs...have a feeling I may *may* be heading towards a 12 bottom half (haven't been this size ummmmm ever? once?)

Things still pretty awful over my way so just plodding on. Getting an awful lot of resistance to the diet now that I look 'normal' weight wise. I do feel very, very tired at work but I don't think it's just me and I suspect all the bugs flying around don't help. But it seems every day someone is saying I don't need to lose any more and I mustn't get anorexic. This tickles me as suspect I couldn't become anorexic if I tried. I LOVE food and curves! But it is wearing me down a little... The other day a patient asked me how much I'd lost now and when I said 4 stone, 2lbs, her visitor looked me up and down and said my God you must have been big before! Found it quite funny at the time that she was so outspoken, but then imagined my previous self hearing this and it didn't seem quite so funny. So odd the way people feel they can comment on body shape and size...yet commenting on age, salary, or sexual orientation or even peoples' features is considered rude.

Wondering about all the other butterflies are getting on... LadyB (who is my inspiration) and her new man, beautiful Asa so far, far away, Broxi who is on a new level dietwise and Claira I miss you! Come back!

Have a good day all...
 
Hey Contrary

People like that really annoy me, one of the mums whose kid I childmind for said to me the other day *god you can salsa when your fat* when I said I wouldnt go until I had lost my weight, it really hurt, people can be so outspoken and cruel.

You have done so well just be proud and and keep on till YOU ARE happy and not what others think.

Hello eveyone else where ever you are, missing you all.
 
Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been on for a while, again. It is the same old story. I am embarrassed to get on and talk about my failures. But never mind that, I really miss you all. And it is great reading about all of your success and you are all such an inspiration!

Anyone heard from Bethan?

Have a nice evening, I will sort out and deal with some boring paper work now, or I might do a little bit of knitting first :). I am almost done with my pair of mittens. I really need them since it is getting really cold here!
 
hi Asa its lovely to hear from you im missing all the butterflies
