Cheb....Too old to get home with the Dawn Chorus!

Hi

Really facing the music now, gonna put my ticker back up! Been avoiding it as I was viewing my gain as a small and temporary blip, but it seems an extra lb or two is creeping on each week so......If I'm honest with myself and stop trying to fool myself then perhaps I will realise I HAVE to stay on track. So 2 stone to target!!!!!!:eek: There I've said it and put it in black and white it's real. I'm so cross with myself, at one point I was 10lb off target, so why did I let this happen?

Oh well, back to the grindstone.....Cheb wearily climbing back on the wagon. Give us a legup please somebody.
 
Still with it but feeling like I'm dragging a bit. Can't wait for Boot Camp in November to give me a much needed kick up the butt in time for Christmas!

Trust us to take the scenic route mate! ;)
 
Morning All

Have dropped 2lb after 1 day SSing, hurrah; off to change my ticker again:D

Scenic route DQ? I feel like I've been round the world twice and once was via the Moon!!!:D Ah well, I hear you whispering in my ear when I get fed up with myself 'You've not failed, til you give up' Never going to give up and never going back to the place I once was!

Off to a party later starts at 2pm and goes on til the last one is standing, reckon that'll me as I'm taking the fizzy water!!!! Just bought a new pair of jeans to wear, going to team them with some spiky heels. Will take a tetra and a bar in case I have an urge! I know I shouldn't have a bar yet but better that than a handful of peanuts!

Weather is fab here today, amazing how quick it changes. Yesterday it felt like the depths of winter.

Have a great weekend.
 
Morning

Only just surfaced, been lazing in bed reading; needed to get my book finished ready for tomorrows book club discussion.

Survived the party, sat with my fizzy water next to a huge bowl of chocolate and loads of crisps. Resisted them and the great smelling chicken and steak that followed. Usually I'd justify eating that as it's protein!! Kept thinking of next weekend and my fading hope of squeezing myself into my planned outfit.

Dropped another 2lb today, puts me back down to 11st10lb. If I can get to 11st3lb I reckon my outfit will fit and look okay. I think 11lb off is pretty do-able in my first week SSing, so 7lb to go by Saturday........

Off to change my ticker:D
 
well done you little cherub.........will bring in halo tomorrow. will stick it firmly on with superglue to keep you motivated.

put your outfit on the front of your wardrobe, or better still in hallway just before your kitchen.

see you at work
 
Morning All

No movement on the scales this morning but I can't expect a change every day.....I live in hope though:D

Off to work soon so should keep nice and busy and not think about food. I do find it hard at lunchtime as the natural thing to do is eat. I can be feeling brilliant and resolute all morning then I crumble. Might go and try some clothes on instead, not buy just try:D

Finished our book club book, enjoyed it and will discuss it tonight on the book club thread. Not chosen our next one yet; anyone else want to join in with the next one?

Thanks Mandy for your words of encouragement.

June, it'll be good to have you back at work:D

Have a great day.
 
Morning All

Another lb gone:D Now feel I should have amended my tracker upwards sooner, as it gives me a real boost every time I have to change it downwards again.

Now 11st9lb, still hoping to shift 6lb by Saturday. Not sure now if I will eat at the party, I had always intended to but now I'm getting back in the swing of things I'm not sure that I want to muck about again. I guess this is the duvet of ketosis that Mike talks about? A colleague is SSing and after much deliberation on her part and much encouragement on mine, for her not to eat at the party, she's decided to stay SSing. I'm so relieved as I really feel that 'a planned day off' is a start to the slippery slope, it has been for me anyow and she's done it 100% for 6 weeks I would hate her to make the same mistake as me. Maybe I should take my own advice too and keep her company with my fizzy water? I KNOW I should really or else I'm a hypocrite, just not sure if I can be as strong as her any more.

Just having a mousse before heading off to work, have a great day everybody.
 
Morning

Day off work today, feel a bt down in the dumps today. Partly due to the weather and partly cos it seems I may have unwittingly made a bit of a mistake on here behind the scenes so I feel bad about it.

Also feel remorseful as I ate last night, think I know what prompted it so that's one thing I guess but still kicking myself now. Oh well I'm just carrying on with the challenge still hoping for a few more lbs to drop off by Saturday.

Going to spend the morning pottering around the house, having a bit of a tidy round then having my hair cut and coloured later. Off for a girly gossip tonight so that should cheer my mood.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Good morning! :D

Well done on getting as far as you have!!! :eek: Blimey! 71lb!!!! That's... umm... well.. it's LOADS!!! (71 divided by 14.... erm.. blimey! that's a whole child!!!!!!:eek: :eek: Over 5 stone!!!!!)

Stick on some loud music and have a d-i-y karaoke sesh a-la Mrs Doubtfire styley and hopefully it will help cheer you up a tad.:p

I think this weather is poo :mad: and just makes everyone feel like the proverbial stuff! Got any Gloria Gaynor? Aretha Franklin? Weather Girls? some good old fashioned man-bashing, chick-uplifting, finger-pointing, fist-clenching music is what you need!;) And hey... don't worry about making mistakes (either centre stage or behind the scenes) there isn't a single, solitary soul who hasn't been there and done that too! You are in great company! :eek:

Hope the hair do helps (I find it always makes me feel heaps better... nearly always nod off when they are washing it... something very relaxing about having someone else wash your hair - or is it just me?). :rolleyes:

Anyway... again, well done! :D It's the good folks like you that encourage the newbies like me and I for one appreciate ya!:D
 
Hi FFFish

Thank you for your post, it's words like yours that really cheer me up, but I will also stick some music on and have a bop. What a good idea! I feel better already.

Sometimes I forget how much I've lost as I've been battling with this last stone or so since January, I got to within 10lb of target but now keep gaining and losing the same weight time and time again. Just don't have the motivation that I had when I was 6st from target. Learn from my mistake and DO NOT UNDER ANY circumstances take a break from SSing until you reach your target. The first time is a golden time and you never seem to to recapture the initial enthusiasm if you do take a break. Everybody thinks that they will be different and that they are stronger than the others etc etc but if you read peoples diarys you will notiuce a recurring theme. Good luck with your own weight loss journey, I look forward to hearing about your progress.

Cheb, climbing off soapbox and off to find a mood lifting CD!
 
Morning

Just a quick Hello, should be at work already!

Feel great today, really chirpy.

FFFish, love my hair which makes a change, normally it takes a few days for it to grow on me:D How you doing?

Hoping for a busy day at work then off to yoga tonight, lovely just what I need. Mind have to be careful I don't doze off during the Relaxation - too many late nights on here have left me zzzzzzzzzzz

Have a great day everybody, catch you later.

Click to expand...

Are you still feeling pants? Hope you're feeling a better, drink more water and take a couple of paracetamol. If you usually drink coffee make sure you still have a cup cos that will help with the withdrawal, you don't want to suffer both carb and caffine withdrawal.

Almost another day ticked off:D
