Regardless, that is something to be proud of!

well done thats fantastic! keep it up - you're almost at your 2nd mini goal! xxx

Well done!!

Thanks ladies!

Aaah Rach, i've changed my mini goals now as i wanted to count this as a re-start.

Oh i had the nicest comment from my nan yesterday. She poked my tummy and then went "That's well flabby" Argh! Cheers Nan! Thats why i am on WW! :sigh:

Busy weekend coming up next weekend so need to be good!
Night out next Friday, Meal out just me, my sister and my Dad Saturday then i am off to Wimbledon Sunday to watch the Banger Racing and the fireworks they put on. Went last year and it was great!

My birthday is coming up in December and i would like to be at least a stone skinnier! HELP ME GIRLS! Lol. Thanks for your support ladies, all of you. Could not do this without ya!

Hehe thank you ladies!

Yeah Karen, ditto! My nan especially, i love her to pieces but she doesnt think before she speaks. I live with her so we've had to adjust to each other.
But like for example, i told her i had lost 5lbs and she said " are you sure? i've seen alot of junk food wrappers in your bin" I was like erm like what!?. Previously i had eaten two cereal bars at 2 points each and she assumes i am wolfing down the whole of Thorntons!!!!!!! EEESH!

It's constant pressure on what i eat from her as well. She is very skinny and constantly remarks about what i eat " how many points is that" "dont have that, it's too fatty" and stuff like that. I think thats partly why i went off track for a good month! I know she doesnt understand the whole points system but she doesnt believe i can more or less eat what i want as long as its within my points! :sigh: xx

Your welcome hun,we are botyh so alike one week off the next on! Keep going xx

Hehe i know hun. We so can do this! xx

 

[blackwidow]

come on Em you can totally make the stone by xmas! You're even lighter than I thought (i was going off your old mini goals) so even less to go before you get there! I bet you'll reach it easy by end of November, and then have another 3 weeks to blast some extra before Xmas!

dont you worry about your nan. sure, she means well but so do a lot of skinny people but they dont realise what they say isnt always taken the way they mean it! I have friends who are the "oh we like you the way you are" type. Thing is, they should like me however I am so if i want to be skinnier they should be supportive! I know they ARE trying to be but they dont realise that "we like you how you are now" to me is "we're happier that you're how you are because it makes us look better" - this is just how my paranoid brain looks at it.. but still, you see what i mean right?

you do points right? have you considered following Core for a week? I dont know if you're kinda fussy with food or anything and what time you have for planning / making meals etc, but Core can give you a good boost if you switch even for just a week?

[kdma]

Well done on your fab weight loss. Good Luck this week xx

 

[Karenlou]

The other thing that people who don't diet don't understand is that you don't have to eat Ryvitas and lettuce leaves in order to lose weight, do they? It can be frustrating when people feel the need to ask "are you allowed to eat that?"

Thanks so much Rach, I have 7lbs to get my 'stone Christmas target' so an average of 2lb a week means 3 weeks so i may aim for a stone and a half but it could all go wrong and i could only lose something like .5lb a week (always goes wrong when i plan something).

dont you worry about your nan. sure, she means well but so do a lot of skinny people but they dont realise what they say isnt always taken the way they mean it! I have friends who are the "oh we like you the way you are" type. Thing is, they should like me however I am so if i want to be skinnier they should be supportive!

Yeah i get ya. The thing about my nan is she did the same sort of things to my mum. My mum has quite a complex about it now actually; it's really affected her. My nan always makes comments about how 'if she had raised me from when i was a child i wouldnt be fat now'. I suppose my mum eats what she likes now and when she wants it as a sort of rebellion against her childhood where it was strictly controlled. My mum has a weight problem too and part of mine has stemmed from living at my mums and the unhealthy lifestyle but most of it is me and my choice of food for the last 19 years!

you do points right? have you considered following Core for a week? I dont know if you're kinda fussy with food or anything and what time you have for planning / making meals etc, but Core can give you a good boost if you switch even for just a week?

Aye indeed, i do points. I have thought about it but i'm a 'snacker'... even if its just fruit.... i know you get 21 points a week but honestly, i dont know if i could manage it as i am on 29 points a day!!!!!

Yes Karen, totally second that! I have tried to explain the points system to my nan but she still doesnt get it. Thanks lovey xx
