ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

[Asa]

Good morning! Well done on your WI Nikki! Don't worry about getting 3 instead of 4 yesterday, the last one will show up on your next WI, and that might be nice too!

I finished up all my school work for this last course (still a couple courses to finish up as well, but I'll do them later). Now we only have to wait for the grade, and I am so happy this course is over!!! I am so relieved!

I will go shopping for some nice summery office clothes today, at least a little bit so I have something to wear when starting work on Monday. I finally gave up my trousers I bought right before going on CD, I was starting to get nervous when walking with them, haha, at points they were really low on my hips . I just LOVE this part of the CD (clothes getting to big to wear). I will wash them and put them out on our equivalent to ebay (since they are almost brand new).

The next goal for me is getting below 100 kilos (I am counting both pounds and kilos), and yesterday when I cheated and got on the scale, I weighed 100,8 kilos. That's about less than 2 pounds away. I am guessing I will get there not on Monday, but the next Monday after that. It is a big crossing line for me, going from three digits 100, to two digits 99 . And never going above it ever again!!!

I am starting to think about work and CD again, but I will post in our private thread, and maybe on the main forum. I never posted there, so I guess it is really about time!

Have a lovely day lovely butterflies!

Oh I hope so Claira.. Come off the pill now, so have my full TOTM now, not nice, but might just sort it out. I'll keep thinking about the long term goal.

Re your hair.. get yourself some mags or look on some websites and see what you fancy. Are you having any colour? xx

OO I agree get some lovely mags or look at hairstyles by searching *hairstyles* it saves buying loads of mags.

Nikki i laughed at your phone incident and totally well done on your loss.

Asa your doing really well, bet you cant wait for monday, glad you have finished your course work, you can breath easy now.

Im just finishing off my nvq4 off, im doing it at home as I dont have the time for college, so hopefully will have it done in next few weeks, then I can do my degree in Sept.

Broxi I totally agree what a sad bunch of misfits

Morning Asa. What a lovely post this morning. Its great you've finished your course and it must be a relief now. Witchy.. and you've finished your NVQ4, which I have only just started. I had to do this one to move up on the pay scale on the council. So its goodbye to all that for a while for the both of you, fab.. more time for "me" time. Enjoy your shopping Asa, i'm going along on Tues eve with my sis to get a couple of bit before I go to Portugal on Thursday. Its geat when things start getting loose.

I don't know about anyone else, but my weight has come off of my bust (3)and waiste (10), which i've measured, some from my face too.. but nothing from my hips! Strange that.. Thats my problem area.

Have a great day butterflies and i'm so glad that we have this post, it's quite uplifting to post every morning, begins the good day too.

my tummy is not as bloated, but ive only lost 2 inch from waist and not much elsewhere, but i have gone a trouser size, that doesnt make sense? in fact i can get into my 16 jeans but have a big fat roll at top. i was a 20 and they were tight. i dont know, as long as its coming off xx
congrats asa x

 

[Witchy]

So far its come off my fingers and my boobs and my stomach, my bra size has gone down from an E to C now and my rings dont fit anymore, loving that I can fit in a smaller size trousers. My tops are way too big and and can fit in to an 18 top nicely.

This is the reason im keeping on, I hate the weekends on this diet its the hardest for me, im not even going out for the day tomorrow for a flickathon, hubby is taking my son for the day, to watch loads of films, i love popcorn and yummies so Im not putting myself through it.

Sundays are the hardest so really need strength this weekend. Does anyone else ever feel like this??

 

[Asa]

Hi, I had a great shopping trip! And got a pair of trousers and a top. I could also fit in to a top from the regular size department of the store! Yeah! I have been stuck at plus sizes for a long time now.

Best of all today, I did try on a bunch of clothes before going shopping. Wanted to know how much was left. Turns out I could have the stuff I was saving that was 1-2 sizes smaller than I was when beginning CD. I was happy!!! I also put a pile of too big clothes, or clothes I can still wear, but I don't feel nice in at all (usually clothes I bought when I had nothing to wear, and just had to have something that fitted, and what I always thought of as really-fat-clothes).

I think I will have to buy a few more summer things to wear, to get through this summer. In the fall I plan on being able to wear my slim clothes, another 2 or 3 sizes. I have two huge boxes that I have been saving, so many pretty clothes, and I just can't wait!!!

 

[Witchy]

Lucky you, sounds like you have had a fab time.

Cant wait to start doing that.

 

[Asa]

Yes, it was a fab time. I can't wait to have the same moment with the smaller sizes I have saved as well .

How are you today?

 

[Witchy]

im really good thank you, snook on the scales earliet and even though its TOTM im down a pound which I didnt think I would be, not counting it till Tuesday though will see when my CDC comes home much all together for the week.

Wish the weather would make its mind up, its either scorchio or freezing here today.

What you upto this weekend??

 

[Asa]

This weekend I have a bunch of shores to get done. A lot of stuff has gotten behind since I have been so busy with school lately. I am also hoping to see "Angels & Demons" at the cinema. And, almost forgot, planning a hen party (is it really called that ?) for a friend who is getting married this summer.

Should be a good weekend!

And yes, I should look into this toning exercises with my resistance tubes (something I have been postponing for weeks now, hehe).

How about you? And the rest of the group?

Hi girls, I can't wait for a shopping trip to get new smaller clothes, it sounds like you had a fab time Asa. I am working my way down my wardrobe instead and chucking the bigger ones that don't fit anymore instead of saving them like I have done in the past, there is definately no going back this time. Once I have worked my way done to my smallest clothes I will reward myself and buy new, can't wait.

Witchy, my worst time is the weekend too starting on Friday night as this was the time me and Hubby would have a bottle of wine and a take away etc not all the time but at least one day out of the weekend as a reward for getting through another stressful week. Me and hubby have said we would love to do something different like go up the leisure centre and have a game of badminton or go to the cinema but it's hard to get a babysitter. It is getting easier but still my down time of the week. Zoe xx

Angels and Demons is fantastic and just as good as the book, well worth the watch.

 

[Asa]

I can't seem to find a friend who is available tonight, and my boyfriend is not up for it, I just might have to force him . The book was the favorite of all Browns books I thought.

Hi claira.. My hips are the same too, although I've now lost 10 (think it was water and my TOTM for 22 days) inches from my waist.. My jeans are easier to wear, but would like to buy smaller clothes, am shopping on Tues eve, so will see if I can get into a size 16 now. But.. yes, as long as its going from somewhere, lol.. I'm ok with that.

Hope you are all having a good eve and your day has been a good one. Am off to work tonight to do my care work, so won't be on for the next 3 nights, but will try and post during the day at some points. xx

Thats great Asa and what a constructive day too. Geat feeling to get into smaller clothes too. I can't wait, although not sure I've gone down any sizes due to my hips not losing from there yet. xx

 

[Asa]

Thanks Nikki! How sweet of you! I guess I loose the most around my waist. But I haven't taken my measurements lately. I did when I started WW in January, lost some weight then, gained some back, overall when I started CD I was a couple of pounds below my start weight in January. I will look up those measurements and check where the inches has gone .

Hope you will have a great time at work!

Hi everyone,
Well done Asa for finishing course. And for needing new clothes. I wouldn't buy much if I were you because you are only going to get a few weeks wear out of them.
Witchy, I am very depressed tonight too. I was coming home from work and wondering what I've go to look forwad to all weekend. I used to go out for lunch, dinner or get take aways or cook lovely dinners. I am so bored not eating and this diet feels like it's taking for ages! I'm sure I'll keep going but my life is really depressing and boring just now without food. I know I'm a moan but it's just how I'm feeling and no point kidding on.
How's everyone else today? x

Hi everyone,
Well done Asa for finishing course. And for needing new clothes. I wouldn't buy much if I were you because you are only going to get a few weeks wear out of them.

Of course, only bought two items today, but found a bunch in the closet that I could wear .

 

[broxi]

That's a great feeling too. I've got loads of thin clothes too but they might be all too old fashioned by now! Hopefully not! My clothes aren't really getting all that big on me yet. I'm expecting the change to start happening anytime now into losing the 2nd stone as I get nearer that it should hopefully become more obvious.

 

[Wannabeelovely]

Thats the really hard part of this isn't it? Having been a very out of control binge eater for years and particularly recently, I would never have thought it possible to go from all to nothing in the way I have but opting out of food makes you realise how absolutely central to your life it is and how life just revolves around it. I was thinking exactly the same as you this afternoon Broxi - how the weekend feels empty without food. I want to cry when I see the rest of my family eating but I keep telling myself its only temporary and, if I had it, it'd be gone in minutes and then I'd just be left with hours of guilt - my old familiar feeling. Keep your chin up Broxi cos you've been a major inspiration to me since I joined the other day and you deserve success and happiness. You can do it and you'll be stronger for it! xxx
