Final countdown!

Do you work at weekends hun? It is hard being on the diet and socialising. I went out with my friend and stuck to coffee; said I was on a diet and had a goal to reach.

It is going fine hun. I just want to be out of the 13s already. You are doing so well and you have only got a few weeks left on it!

I know what you mean. I used to be around 10.7 and everyone said I was too skinny. I think it's because my collar bones are naturally prominent, so when I lose weight - it goes straight from there. I think I will feel better around 11.0 - I like my thighs, bum and hips!

No lovely i'm off at weekends but all my friends wanna get cocktails and dinner and boring me can't yet lol..
Especially living in central and we have so many cool places we can go.. Ugh.

You'll be out the 13's real soon! Woop! Yeah maybe 2 or 3 weeks left? Depends.. 9lbs to go so more likely knowing my luck 3 weeks!
I have a cheat day next Thursday planned as its our quarterly meeting and we smashed our targets so we're getting treated..
So I should hopefully do it in 2 and a bit because the cheat will cause a drop.

My collarbones are now sticking out a lot my boyfriends like ewwwww LOL...

Your photos you posted we're fab so I think you've made the right decision chick , whilst we all have a image of being " skinny " it doesn't always look how we want it to look on us if that makes sense. You know yourself what weight you feel healthy, happy and comfortable at. Keep up the good work, your a great support on here x x

Thank you so much babe.. Appreciate it!

Yeah skinny never appealed I like the whole Jessica Rabbit look I have going on.. Just need to tone up now!! xx
 
I think you've made the right decision as long as you're happy Viita! You look fab and I know what you mean about being skinny - I want to keep my curves too! I started off thinking 5st off to get me to 10st 7lb too, but I'm looking at 11st being my goal as even my CDC said she thought 10st 7lb was too small!

I'm out with work colleagues at the weekend. Looking forward to being the sober one, remembering everything and relaying the stories Monday morning! haha.

Aw, Viita,

Don't worry too much - your body's just playing tricks. Stick to SS if it makes you feel better, and enjoy your cheat day.

Literally having the worst day ever.. I just want to go home. Cheat day is now being moved to another date as a colleague couldn't attend. I'm just so miserable. I feel just fat and crap and i've basically starved myself to put on a pound.. Great.

Hope things brighten for you Vita. Those pesky scales always get to us. This like any other plan can be very cruel and make us feel like that but you know it's not a true reflection. You know you've been good & you know the drop will come. It's easy to say it but chin up my lovely x x

Hey guys, Still plodding along miserably after not losing anything in the last week and apparently gaining 1lb. Period is due tomorrow so that may explain things but been feeling really demotivated I guess.. I'm not a quitter just irritated. Work day/night out has been postponed until end of month & thats when i'm off to Florida so thats a bonus. Hope everyones well.

Hey honey, lets hope so. If it doesn't drop this sunday i'll end up losing hope. I don't want to basically starve myself for nothing.
Just feeling crap. No energy at all. Tired.. Sigh.

I'll be okay x
 
Weighed myself today just to have a peek and saw 11.2 BORDERLINE 11.1 so it looks like its going down again.. TOTM due tomorrow so water retention should start to go soon.
However measured myself and i've lost a inch and a half off my waist bringing it down to 29", half a inch off my arms, half an inch off my thighs and half a inch off my calfs..
So pretty happy with that!
In the last few weeks (I think 4) i've lost all together 4" off my waist, 5" from my hips, 1" from my arms, half a inch off my thighs and a inch off my calfs..
So 11 1/2 all together.

YAY!

So i'm off to my mummys tomorrow night as its my sisters birthday Saturday so going to take Saturday off.. I'm so close to 11 now one day won't hurt and its a special occassion and we are going out to eat. I never struggle getting back on so i'm going to enjoy it and i'll enjoy the pretty nice drop the week after.

Vita your inch losses are fantastic, We all focus on the numbers on the scales as that's more natural but we are all grown up enough to know its the inches which change our shape and our all important clothes sizes.

Enjoy your sisters birthday, you never know the extra bit food may give you the boost your waiting for. Above all enjoy the family time x x x x
 
29" waist!! WOWZERS! Viita, the scales might not be moving, but it's clearly shifting from you - that's incredible and definitely worth a little happy dance!

Have an amazing time at home and enjoy your treat meal out - you deserve it girl!

Hey babe..

Thank you so much.. I'm glad I measured because it definitely made me feel a whole lot better.
I've lost 16lbs in 4 weeks which is okay as it works out 2lbs a week after the initial first drop I guess I wish I was having big drops like everyone else lol..
I'm going to take the day off and enjoy it with my family. One day always does a nice drop the following week so MAYBE i'll get to my 10.7. We can wish LOL..

Hey my love..
Yes the inches have been good and i'm deffo glad I checked it.. I knew i'd lost a few inches as the further up my belt I keep going but i'm impressed.
I'll enjoy the day off and a day out always gives a nice boost so lets hope I get that! Haha..
xxxx
 
So I had the weekend off with my family and had a amazing time, ate a load of crap, but COMPLETELY over eating now and back to day one..
1 week SS and then working off plan for the last week and going up the steps reintroducing food as I have Florida on the 30th.
Then when I come back I guess it'll be a week or two to get off the losses and onto maintenance.

So yes back to my packs and my water lol.. Not weighing myself this week as its pointless as it'll be like 5lbs + for the water retention etc but expecting a nice woosh next week.

Hope everyones well xoxo

Good going to get straight back on it Vita, well done my lovely, here's to a fab whoosh next week x x x
 
Hey Viita
I am sure your weekend off will give you an added boost. I have not been following Exante, as I have had quite a few events. I am trying to stick to low carb. I am hopeful that I will be able to restart on Friday. It is so annoying. I desperately want to be in the 12s. Oh well, I can't beat myself up - I am not as heavy as I was before, but I know I look better at around 12.

How long are you going to Florida for? That is something to look forward to! I am in dire need of a holiday, but I am trying to carry over some days to next year! 4 weeks is not enough! xx

Hey lovely,

Yes I hope so too. Really want to be 10 1/2 before I go away so I won't be too mad when i've gained a few pounds from my holiday.
I'll weigh myself next week Monday so we'll see. I never find it too hard to get back into SS so its going well at the moment.
You are lucky you have your height as it all balances itself out more lol.. Just get back on it when you can and finish it off.

I go to Florida on the 30th for 10 nights and its so hot and sunny there at the moment I can't wait.
Then once I get back i'll be going to NY 6 weeks later.. I can't get enough of vacations!

xx

Hey babe,
Thank you! I am so over eating from over indulging at the weekend lol.. I like being on a strict plan it makes me feel better. I like the empty feeling.
Fingers crossed for next Monday. It'll be like a first week loss again which I love lol..
Well done on your loss this week though! Very proud of you! xxx
