Total Solution Day 111 in the Exante household!

[handbag-annie]

evening! Just looking at my holiday countdown and realised that I have been on TS for 111 days! How I have managed to stay on it for so long and keep losing is something I can't quite work out! One more TS day before I weigh myself and start weaning myself of for my holiday to the sun on Saturday!

Two whole weeks of sunshine before returning to the Exante house once again. x

Ohhhh where you going? A holiday is such a great incentive to lose weight. Today is day 103 for me but my losses are no where near as good as yours. You have done fantastic. Have a nice holiday x

Thanks Mia. You are also doing really well and remember, I have a lot more to loose than you so my loses probably will be more!

Off to the beautiful island of Fuerteventura. We have been to the same place several times and just love it. Totally stressing about coming of Exante to be honest but its helping that I know what to expect food wise when I get there!

None of the clothes I took out in November fit me any more, they are huge.......and only discovered rhi last weekend. So it been a mad dash getting tankini's off eBay and summer clothes in New Look - oh what a hardship!!

What are your place maintaining wise once you get to goal Mia? Xx

Well I can totally relate to everything you are saying h.a. I am scared stiff to start eating again becasue this is the 4th time I have been on a VLCD and lost stones only to put it back on again. I really dont want to do that this time. My plan is to get to goal of 10st 7lb, then lose another 7lb and get to 10st. See what I look like and if I can get to 9st 9lb which is what I was years ago. Of course I am older now and sometimes skinny aint a good look lol. I know I will put weight on once I start eating, albeit slimming foods, but its obvious. So if I go under goal, I will have that to play with til eventually I even out if that makes sense.

I bought a few dresses a few weeks ago to slim into. I got them size 14 to wear on my hols. I know I dont go away until the end of August but when you are bigger you cant envisage yourself thinner can you, so I thought I'd never get into them. Well, they are too big as are my holiday clothes so I think I will be in the same boat as you, running around like an idiot for holiday clothes.

Anyway, you go and have a nice time. Eat what you like coz in my opinion the diet will be here when you come back. Life is for living x

I like your attitude Mia! My friend and i have decided that when we get to our goal weight we are going to have a 7lb-1st cut off point, basically if we put any of it on it is straight back on the Shakes. This time it's a life long journey for us not a few weeks!!
Have a great time away Handbag-annie

 

[Mia]

Yeah Nicci, that's the way forward for me I think. I don't think I will look good at under 10st to be honest, well .... maybe 9st 13lb lol so let say I stay at that. That means I will not allow myself to get over 10st 7lb. I will weight each week like I do now and as soon as the pounds start coming back, nip it in the bud as soon as. It's easier to lose 2lb than to lose 2 stone.

Here bloody Here!!!!!!! you are going to do it this time sweetie, i can feel it in my waters!! (talking of which, that last pint has gone right through me lol. Must dash!!)

 

[Mia]

I AM going to do it nicci - I can feel it in my purse lol

Annie, I'm feeling the same about eating while on holiday. Going all inclusive so will have to eat something. Just hoping I am able to resist too many carbs. Do you go to the gym at all? My hubbie will make sure I go do some exercises with him ( he has been told not to take no for an answer no matter how much I protest lol) As nicci says it is a lifelong journey after all. I think I am now starting to realise that there are going to be times when the diet cant be stuck to 100% but that doesn't mean we have failed & then give up as I have done in the past. It just means we need to carry on with it once we are back into our normal routines. Hope you have a good weigh in tomorrow & enjoy your holiday.

Thanks Susie. We are also all inclusive but we have been lots of times so I usually stick to the fish and salad. I love bread though, but going to try hard not to start eating it again! I swim loads on holiday and there is a lovely walk down to the harbour and beach that I plan to do first thing in the morning before it gets too hot. Meeting friends out there so keeping a count of the cocktails is going to be rather difficult!

When and Where are you off to on your holidays xx

Sounds like you got it all planned out with keeping active so you should be ok on the cocktail front. We are going to Cuba in just under 2 weeks. By the Sound of things we going to either love it or dislike it so going with an open mind. I know what you mean about the cocktails though, cant really go to Cuba & not have any rum can I ??. No luck with clothes shopping though. I seem to be in between sizes & I know it sounds strange but at the moment the weight seems to be coming off from the top downwards & from the bottom upwards leaving the middle bit still there!!. Oh well its got to come off the middle soon I hope lol

I am exactly the same as you !! People are telling me to stop dieting now coz I look thin on the face, chest (no boobs!), legs - everywhere but the bellies. I am continuing coz it has to come off there eventually ..... hasn't it????

I had leggings and high heels on in work on monday and yesterday the receptionist told me "you know yesterday when you were coming down the stairs, well I looked up and you looked just like a giraffe with those long skinny legs". This is the woman who last week told me "your face looks much better fat" !!! LOL, you gotta laugh.

Have a great time in Cuba x

 

[Susie58]

Thanks Mia. Its my tummy & hips that are still there, really frustrating isn't it. I dont know if people think they are being nice in some of the things they say. Someone said to me that they could tell I had been on a diet cos my face was thinner. I felt like saying well I havn't lost the 22lb off my face for goodness sake! Oh well gotta have a sense of humour.
