First WI, completey underwhelming....

[zimmum]

I will try those tips you have just given me to help get the motivation back... It's hard work! I guess being down in the dumps doesn't help... I really miss working and earning my own money... cannot find work to get back into following a year of maternity leave!

I love the sun! Having been born and brought up in Africa... Can't help but not love the sunshine! but I can empathise with you, ESP when we have these heat waves! It's always extremes with British weather, lol never seem to get a happy medium hey!!

What are you up to this weekend x

Oh that's awful! The job Market is pants at rthe minute no one seems to be hiring anybody at the minute! I think for me I've got so much weight to lose that that's enough motivation for me lol!

I think it's because I'm too pasty to cope with the heat! I like looking at the sunshine from the inside... Where it's safe! Even in spring I'm on the mardy side! What part of Africa were you born in? My friends husband is from
Senegal and he's always visiting back and forth there! I'm perfectly happy in the wind and rain which people say I'm mad for but maybe it's the Irish in me lol!

Not really up to much this weekend! My friends having a BBQ so hoping to stay strong with my shakes lol!

I ought to be motivated enough looking at my flabby arms and apron tummy! Just need a kick in the butt to get back on track, I think! :-/

From Zimbabwe! My family and I left in 2001 (when there was an economic crisis there) to live in New Zealand, where we stayed for just over 2 yrs before settling in th uk! Having come to uk in my late teens, ... So much has happened in the last 11yrs, I feel like this is home for me now and will be! Yes it is pants at the moment... But Ido try to keep my chin up about it most of the time... When the time is right, it'll happen!

We had a BBQ today! Have a wedding to go to on Saturday which I'm hoping to dodge! Lol!!! And then I have a course for my CPD on Sunday which will hopefully keep me out of trouble for most of the day!

I'm hoping that watching the Olympics and seeing really physically fit people will help with motivation to do more exercise! (Even if it's just an extra 5 tummy crunches a day lol)

I'm sure something will turn up! Things always have a strange way of working themselves out in the end! Don't lose hope... Which I know is a hell of a lot easier said than done! A COd course eh! What's it about?

The anount of BBQs that have been going ob recently with tne weather! The smell of them is enough to tempt me away from CD! I keep saying: "a moment on the lips, a life time on the hips!" but every each new BBq I feel my resolve weaken!!! Maybe I'll try and avoid this one as another one could tip me over the edge :/

I'm definitely hoping that watching the Olympics will motivate me to move more!!

Lol I love it "a moment on the lips and lifetime on the hips" good one! And so true!!!

Surely some bbq'd chicken and green salad can't be that bad??? Steer clear of the potato salads, processes meats and breads and ul be fine to join in the BBQ fever...that's what I think anyway! (any excuse to have a BBQ lol)

Hope u r stronger than I am when it comes to BBQ xx

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Haha! My mum taught me that one and ive turned it round on her now many a time inthink she regrets telling me now! Hopefully it should be okay! And if not avoid carbs at all costs... Do Atkins inspired foods if super uber desperate!!

I've read stories of people who've eaten meat/ sakad and still been ok and had a loss as they won't knock you out of ketosis! I'll just have to wait and see!!

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Got back and lost 9lbs!!!! That's twice after my TOTM that I've lost 9lbs!! I'll take the 1lb loss when on if it means I drop 9lbs when I come off!! so that's 3stone 1lbs done in exactly two months!!!! I'm gobsmacked !!!

 

[Karrinnae]

That is so amazing!!!! Congratulations !

:blushes: awww thank you! I just can't believe how well its going! I remember day one and reading stories of all these fab weight losses from inspirational people and now I've managed to lose a decent amount! Honestly if I can do it, then anyone can do it! Good luck to everyone else on their journey! This diet is simply amazing!
