ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

[Asa]

You are doing so well Zoe! Congratulations to nearly being at goal!

I haven't been on here for a while, and I will probably not be on here regularly either, but it is so nice to come on every now and then and catch up with you all. I am still not doing CD, but trying to eat healthy WW style.

How are you all?

[MissAma]

Hey everyone, Zoe, how's you? Asa, good to see you!

I've finally gotten into a pair of size 34 jeans the other day -pics in gallery- and it felt like it was all worth it

We have the dreaded IVF meeting tomorrow and I am looking forward to the face of the doc when they see I've lost another me in weight since they last recorded it

 

[Zoe.D]

Hi girls,

Well done MissAma, you look great in the new jeans, well done and good luck with the IVF appointment tomorrow. They will get a big shock, would love to see their faces.

Hi Asa, nice to hear your well hun xx.

Hi Spott, sorry to hear about the scales. I'm sure you havn't gone up just the new scales hun but it must be very de-motivating. They will be showing a loss very soon xx.

I have weigh in with cdc to tomorrow and I am toying with the idea of telling her I don't want any cd products. I am on the 1200 plan as you know and I am meant to have 2 cd products on it but have only been having 1 as I physically can not consume 2 cd as well as the breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is working out expensive buying food as well as cd and seems a little daft bulking out my diet with 340 kcals of cd product when I can just as easily replace that with nutritious food. I have no concerns that I can stick to 1200kcal diet to lose my final 6lb but a little worried what my cdc will say as obviously she will want me to carry on purchasing cd. I have loved cd all the way but it really does seem daft spending money I havn't got on 2 products a day when I am eating a full days food and getting all my vit and minerals. What do you think girls?

 

[Zoe.D]

Lost a 1lb this week, 5lb to go. Got one more week of bars and then I am telling cdc that I will be doing 1200 on just food until goal.

Hi Zoe

I think you should go with how you feel.. I agree with the expenditure and if its just one meal replacement and you are ready in your mind and you know you can make that conscious decision to go it without that shake a day.. You are definately making the right decision. As I see it, you have moved up the plans, lost over 10 stone and you are continuing to do that as you are doing.. then you are ready honey.. You are an inspiration to all of us on this thread.. Most of us have given up CD, and gained the weight, or turned to another plan.. I'm just hanging on in there. Have realised what an emotional eater I am.. I don't tend to just pick, I go the whole hog, like I deserve to be eating badly!! But then admitting that, I think I know what I need to do.. its having that motivation, and I can find it.. its just having the motivation to find the motivation, mad or what?? lol.

Hope you are well Asa, good to see you on here, I don't get on as much anymore either these days, things are busy at work and home too. How are you getting on with WW?

Miss Ama, well done gtting into those Jeans and good luck with the meeting today, fingers crossed for you. x

Spottichsam.. go with the scales you now have and as long as you are loosing in those each week, then you are doing well.. x

Chat soon. xxx

Did you really mean 34 jeans? These look more like 24 and almost size skinny zero (two at the most!!!)
You look absolutey stunning in every way - should be so proud of yourself!!!
Good luck with your IVF meeting xxx

 

[Zoe.D]

Thanks Nikki, It's really nice to hear someone tell me I will be ok and can do it. I know that sounds daft but it's horrible keep hearing people advising you may fail if you don't carry on with the compulsory cd products. Losing 10st 5lb wasn't a walk in the park and I think I have the will power to get the last 5lb off without a meal substitute. I feel I am going against everything I have tried to learn by making myself have the cd pack when I am stuffed and don't want it-does that make sense. You will found the motivation, you are so strong to keep trying and I think you are great hun xx.

[MissAma]

Spottichan - 3 lbs is great!

EternalFlame - thank you!

Zoe you will SURELY do just fine. You've already done most of the hard work and you are doing great in discipline, I have no doubt that come next year you'll be one of those Maintenance Success stories!

You are too kind, really are!

34 European is 6 UK and 4 US I believe. Essentially the XS and S equivallent. I still find it very strange.... I went to do a spot of shopping today and fit in an S dress that looked no bigger than a handcharchief when I looked at it.

We all did great, we did and will continue to do so!

Thats great news.. xx

 

[Zoe.D]

Well done Spott, great loss hun. You are doing fab xx.

Wow MissAma, size 6. You are so tiny! Looking absolutely great xx

I borrowed a skirt off my sister for work yesterday as my old one had got to big and it was a szie 12. She said to try it on but when I looked at it I thought there was no way I was going to get into that but guess what, it fitted and was even big around the waist -yippee

Wow Zoe.. that makes you almost a size 10!!! :bliss: How good does that feel..:happy096: xxx

 

[Zoe.D]

Ah bless Nikki, but no I don't think I would ever squeeze into a 10 as I still have my c-section skin on my tummy. Although the skirt is big around my waist it is snug around the tum area. I am happy to be a 12/14 though, never thought I would ever get back to being slim so I am chuffed with that size.

 

[Eternalflame]

Zoe.. I had 3 C sections.. so know what you mean there. Size 12/14 is perfect xx

 

[Zoe.D]

Yep I had 2 c-sections as well. The c-section apron as they call it -fab isn't it lol.

Thanks Nikki xx.

 

[Eternalflame]

You are welcome Zoe..my dear. Apron?? Tell me about it!!! I went and bought some Gok's Hold me in's for a function I have coming up.. Tried them on and they come up to my chest, lol.. but they do support your tum and flatten it.

This thread has become sooooo quiet.. Hope everyone is ok??

A minute moan..I just popped to the local town for a stroll.. as I've been off work since Monday, had some sort of virus, so low in energy and feeling light headed all the time. Thought the fresh air and walk would blow the cob webs away, so to speak, as really want to go back to work tomorrow (am sooo bored).. but feel worse then I did before! Cooking the family Pasta tonight and the way I'm feeling, I might need some for energy.. I know thats not the way to go.. lol. I will try to resist! Need to get this motivation back.. have a few good things coming up, but have no real desire to do CD at the moment.. but then I know I need to.

Willpower Fairies where are you? lol

Chat soon xxx

 

[Zoe.D]

lol -gok knickers.
Sorry to hear your not feeling to good Nikki. It's hard to stick to cd when it's cold weather as well but just think of how good you are going to feel at those occasions coming up when you put something slinky on. That's what kept me going strong last year, the knowledge that cd works so quickly and that by this year I would be where I wanted to be and the thought that that was possible just kept me spurred on and strong all the way through.

Yep, very quiet at the moment. Do you ever hear from Claira? I have sent her messages on facebook but no reply from her. Havn't heard from Broxi in ages either?
