From here to Eternally Slim

Ronnie - big hugs. It's so frustrating when you're trying to be good but feel c**p.

MLM's suggestion is really worth a try, though. An old friend of mine, who's been on SW for about 3 years, but has slacked off recently, sat through the new members' talk again last month, and she's been so much more focussed since then.

And when you know it's going to be really hard for you next week, because you're banned from eating precisely the things that SW encourages you to eat, it would be good to have all the rules refreshed in your mind, so you can minimise the damage in any way you can.

But I feel for you, and you're so supportive of what I'm achieving that I want to give something back if I can!

WHOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Really pleased for you Sarah!! Well deserved loss and brilliant on the new shiney!!!

I, not so successfully, gained 6lbs last night :sad0071:

Thanks to JoT my head is firmly back in the game, I will get it off next week - or at least a massive chunk of it and i have written a diary for meals until sunday to try and give me some structure!

Thought I'd pop in and say hello, really sorry I've not been around much. Went and got myself a job so I've been all over the place, weight loss has been going well though. Jim has been great at encouraging me to stick to 100% and I lost 2lb last night. I'm exactly 2 stone away from target now.

I hope everyone else is doing well and good luck for everyone else weighing in this week. I hope to be about a bit more in the evenings from now on.

 

[pesty]

Congrats on the job Hasta and sticking to plan and the loss!!!!

Morning ladies and Scanbran if hes lurking somewhere.

Well done Veganface - 2lb despite a mountainous pile of cupcakes is an excellent result

Pesty, I just read your diary, and really, dont beat yourself up about the gain, its almost certainly food weight and water retention and after the week you have had, I would be 2 stone heavier, never mind a few rubbishy pounds. Get your focus back as soon as you can, you can do this!!!! (But equally, dont worry too much if you dont! Stress is a ***** and your emotional needs are very important.) xxx

Thanks huni, im feeling really positive about SW today, not that i have to force myself into it its just feeling right which is a lovely feeling.

This is one thing that i can control within my life atm and i want to control it and more importantly i want that blue shiney in my sig!!!

wahhhheyyyyy Jimbob you little superstar you !!!!!! well done matey

HLV congrats on last night loss & being 2 stone away from target (and the new job aswell....phew what a busy lady )

Pesty - dont be down sweety, illness gain is almost always just food/water and will come off very easily you sound very determined so I cant see it hanging around for very long

Ronnie, I agree with the advice about sitting in on the new members talk, when I came back from my mexico hol the 1st couple of weeks I was getting all confused (and if im honest maybe my head was still a little in guacamole & icecream land :sigh but sitting in on the talk with the newbies who were raring to go really helped me. It refreshed my memory & gave me the boost I needed to get my 'mojo' back for the plan.

Well Its WI for me tomorow and Im doing these last 2 days as 100% as I can to make sure my little gain comes off.....and hoping I get the nudge I need to my 2 stone shiney, Im even eating tuna everyday!! yacky yack yack Ive done the last 2 days reds (does anyone else always feel hungry on reds?)

 

[pesty]

Good luck for WI tomorrow CD!!! Yes i use to always feel hungry on red which made it harder for me to stick to it, definitly worth it tho for the losses every now and again!!

Thanks for all comments re my gain, ive been 100% so far, sticking to my weeks plan and my lunch was seriously nommy!! xx

 

[ronniejacobs]

thanks guys am gonna sit in on the new member talk this week even if i cant do it properly for the week i can try not to self sabotage

 

[pesty]

You can do it Ronnie!! Go and look at the inpirational slide show (its up the top of the page) it gives me a boost every time. That and the new members talk and you'll be laughin! xx

Good afternoon

Well done on the loss Jimbo.. thats brilliant.

Pesty, that will soon be off honey, you are back on 100% today and you know you can do it.

Ronnie, big hugs, and good luck going back to group, you'll get extra inspiration there as well. I can't do it without going to group, which is why I've slid a little. Back next week though, so we'l do it together.

Good luck for your WI tomorrow CD, am sure you will have done well.

Didn't go back to the house last night, was feeling really fluey, so stayed at home. Going back tonight though Ex won't be back till after 11pm, so will do what i need to do and then decide whether I want to stay there after that or not. As my bed is still there, it might be nice to be able to sleep in my own bed, lol. I'll see.

going to Butlins next weekend with some friends from my old work, and Boy George will be there, lol.. so that will be fun and very refreshing too.

Morning

Well done Ronnie for getting back on the sw horse.

Pesty, sounds like you had a good day too.

I'm feeling heavier and can't wait to start back again. Getting fed up with fast food and take aways, no where to cook or to refridgerate even. Even breakfast, this morning grabbed a pack of yogurt go ahead slices and a capaccino from the cafe downstairs or it would have been a bowl of coco pops. So thought the go ahead bars would be better. Gonna try and find somewhere to have a bowl of fresh soup for lunch. Next week, i'll be able to bring my own in, just got to get through today and tomorrow and then all should be well on the food front.

Right back to work, xxx
