Everyone else has got one... so now it's my turn

[elfy1807]

Thanks ladies.
Just down the gym to get my last minute workout done.
Also did a mile with Leslie this morning cuz I didn't think I'd get her in today and then remembered I finish work at 330 and no other plans until 6. Doh.
Oh well, might do another vid later. Or if the sun stays out, go for a walk.

What time do u wi hun.x

 

[elfy1807]

What time do u wi hun.x

10. So not long to go. Got about half an hour left down the gym and then it's time to see how I've done.
Nervous.
I just want another 2.5lbs then I know I'm ok for the next 3 weeks at 2lbs and I'm at goal.

 

[elfy1807]

Absolutely heartbroken.
Stayed the same.
I've worked so much harder this week and stayed the same.
Don't really have much else to say.
So gutted

 

[ununpentium]

Don't be upset Emma! You've maintained which is fantastic. If you'd have gained then it would have taken another week to get back to where you are today then another week to lose. But next week you should lose for sure.

Chin up

Aww hun im realy sory but it wasnt a gain. Maybe coz uve dun more excercise this wk is the reason for it. Dont get down hun thats stil realy gud.x

 

[elfy1807]

I just don't understand why there wasn't even a half pound lost. I've been on plan all week, even did more exercise to counterbalance not walking so much at work and stayed the same?!?!
Why?! I had that thai meal, but it was less points than I had a few weeks ago and I made sure I had plenty of activity points to cover it first. I even use half my dailies on it so I didn't have to use so many APs.
And I'm having a **** day at work.

Hope everyone else is having a better day

I just don't understand why I deserve to have not lost this week.

But I've gotta not let it get to me or I'll end up putting it all back on again.
I did think this week was gonna be tough what with starting my new job, but I never expected to stay the same. Was thinking maybe a slightly smaller loss, but not a sts.
Just gonna blame it on stuff out if my control - moving from a highly active job, to a pretty much sedentary job, just standing around not doing much. And not being able to go to my regular classes.
And I finished my pill yesterday, so my body's probably in preparation for a weekend of agony.
Just need to keep up with my eating on plan and my exercise as I would normally - none of these alternative classes m'larkey.
Debating whether to drop Leslie as well.

Hopefully it'll show up next week.
Seriously contemplating jumping on my own scales at home right this second.
I know what I say, but I don't really care today.

Also not eaten much as I just haven't had chance.
And work was tough.
I was left on my own at customer services, with 6 different people wanting things at the same time and choosing the priority was hard, because no matter which one I chose, someone else would tell me I was supposed to be answering a different one.
Just got too much for me at one point.
I can do the job - the job isn't hard - it's keeping everyone happy that's hard - till staff, shop floor staff, supervisors/managers and the customers.

It was a muck up of the rota that left me with just my supervisor all afternoon and he ha stuff to do elsewhere.
Just hard when it's only my 3rd day on the department.

I think I'm done on here for tonight.
Gonna go in and chill out.
Nice early night tonight.

 

[elfy1807]

Forgot to say thanks for your kind words ladies.

 

[UKSerena]

Hey Sweetie, I'm so sorry I haven't had chance to comment before u logged off for the night. I'm not sure what to say about your STS as most of it has been said already. From the moment I met u I was impressed by your commitment to the plan and your results backed that up and still do, a STS is nothing to be annoyed or ashamed of, I am (and I'm sure everyone else is) very proud of you. Just think if u added up all those extra 0.5lb losses you've been having, that would amount to today's loss too. Chin up Sweetie, you've been through a lot of changes in your life recently.x Love u lots Sweetie.x

 

[trinab]

Hi hun. How r u feeling today?x

 

[UKSerena]

Morning Emma Hope you're ok today. X

 

[elfy1807]

Morning ladies.

I'm still feeling a little disheartened, but it wasn't a gain.
Just still utterly confused as to why I didn't lose even a tiny bit.
What has cause me to keep on 2.5lbs this week?
Or even 2? Or 1? Or half?
I think I was so upset because it's feels like a gain.

But I'm gonna ignore it and move on.
The boy was so worried about me yesterday that he didn't go to the gym and cancelled his plans with his friends to make sure I was alright, which I felt (feel) really guilty about.
But I went round there and we chilled out with a DVD, then had a bath.
I haven't had a bath in about 10 years.
Much prefer showers.

I'm gonna put down yesterday to a number of reasons beyond my control.

1) Changing jobs from a busy moving position, to an almost sedentary position where I do barely any walking.
Even with Leslie yesterday, I only did 6852 steps, which is horrendous.
I knew this job was gonna cause me problems.

2) Period week - even though I take the pill and back them up for 3 months at a time, and this is only the 2nd month, I think my body is ready, so I'm just gonna have a break this week and let it do what it's gotta do.

3) My leader was on holiday this week, so a different leader was in her place. I'm pretty sure they have their own sets of scales that they take to their meetings, so different scales, different weights.

Everyone was telling me that it should catch up with me next week, so I'm hoping it will.
Gotta be 100% on plan.
No little treats out with friends.
Nothing.
I need that weight off.

I'd still like it off by my birthday - in the last 3 weeks I've lost 7.5lbs, so 8.5lbs isn't much more. It's possible.
But if it doesn't happen, yeah, I'll be disappointed, but I'll get there.
My initial target was 10stone by January 1st 2014.
If I don't make that, then something is seriously wrong ha.

And I worked it out that I'm losing an average of 2.8lbs a week, which is nothing to be sniffed at.
Obviously my body had had enough this week.

Thank you all for your kind supportive words.
And Serena, your message actually made me start crying again when I read it last night. So kind.

Hope you all have a good day.

I'm not at work til 415, so got a few hours to chill.

So sorry that I made u cry, that wasn't my intention! When u say u back your pills up, does that mean u take 3months without a break? Is that safe? I now have to do over 9000 Steps before I go into Earning Mode :-( Gutted.com! I'm glad u quantified your bath comment with one about showers, I was thinking yucky, Emma didn't wash for 10 years! Sorry for this quick and rather random message but my 30mins of Wifi is about to run out :-( Will be back replying properly once I'm home tonight. X

Haha... don't worry... I spent a lot of yesterday crying.
Was just a bad day in general.
And it wasn't sad crying, it was crying from such kind words.
Yeah... I take them 3 months at a time, then have a break.
And yeah, it's safe. It's the maximum you're allowed to do.
I'd been debating this week whether to break this month and risk not losing, or to do it next month and be all rubbishy for my birthday weekend.
Well my body made my decision for me.

And nope, I don't wash at all.
I just hang around all sweaty and smelly after the gym haha.

9000 steps is a huge amount. That's crazy. But you're such a busy bee that you mount them up quickly.

Hope you're having a brilliant time away.

[ununpentium]

2.8lbs a week average loss is amazing! I reckon it was due to your period then if you stopped the pill for your break week. Probably water retention from that, or from exercise. (Apparently muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, but muscles retain water to help them heal after you exercise!) You'll lose next week for sure, and you'll hit your goal WAY before the new year!

Hope you have a better day today.

 

[elfy1807]

Thanks Sarah.

That's what everyone was saying.
It was just water retention because I'd done more exercise.
But when I get in a certain frame of mind, nothing anyone says will go in.
I get irrational.

My poor boyfriend has had to deal with it a few times, he tries to reassure me everything's ok in whatever situation I'm getting myself worked up about, but there's no getting me out of it, I just have to wait it out.

I literally stopped my pill yesterday, so think it's a bit odd that my body's ready because I still had the option of another month. But it could just be through that.

We'll just have to wait and see how next week goes.
Just gotta put it behind me and make sure I'm 100% on plan. Not 99%, not even 99.9%. 100%

Weetabix oaty bars now cost the full 2pp that I should've been counting them at. Can't afford any mistakes.

I never knew u was allowed to do that with the pill but then I had awful side effects so ended up on the mini pill which of course u have no break with anyway. I probably don't do as many steps as u think :-( Today Ive walked round Windsor for more than two hours and I'm still over a 1000 from earning mode :-( x
