ProPoints Haf to skinny (well not morbidly obese would be good)

[Annie2012]

Hi Annie I am only only day 4 but this is the longest I have stuck to a diet in AGES!
I'm finding it really good and have enjoyed eating really tasty foods over the last few days, just can't wait until Tuesday for my first weigh in!
How about you X

Hi again....I am on Day 3 myself and I have enjoyed some great food too...my weight in is on Thursday morning, so yes...I am looking forward to it too...I just worry if I can keep going till the end, you know? I have so much to lose...How much weight do you want to lose yourself?

xx

 

[Annie2012]

I am exactly the same because I have a lot to lose I'm like aww will I ever get there so I totally know what your saying!
I would like to lose 10 stone as that would put me back to the weight I was when I first met my husband poor thing doesn't recognise me anymore lol.
Evenings are the worst! X

Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yes, evening's are definitely the worst or weekends when I am not running about as much! Still, we gotta believe that we can do it....I just think I am gonna follow the diet to a tee and forget that I am doing it and hopefully, I'll just get to goal, u know? We have about the same amount of weight to lose then...;-) x

Hi Annie and Shabbs

I am so so happy them nights are over just gutted they all re-start Tuesday ahhhhhh..... I was not so good in work last night, but only because I thought I picked well but did not. When I got in it was so so quiet! Unheard of for a Saturday night. So we ordered an Indian. I picked Tandoori chicken a good choice I thought. As soon as we ordered it got Crazy (bloody typical). So at 3am finally get into staff room starving hungry to be greeted with a plate of 1 samosa 2 onion bhajis a tiny lump of tandoori chicken 1/2 a nan and salad it was cold tasteless! But I was so so hungry I would have eaten a scabby horse!!!
I ate then pointed nightmare. Other than that I would have been fine x

So how are you both finding the weekend???

Sorry to hear about our son Annie. I know lots of our regular mums in work who have to come back and fo when children ill. It's like Full time job and more for them. You are on call 24hrs no rest bite and you have the emotion aspect also. Yet they do without a moan or a groan do with a smile and lots of love.

Shabbs I feel the same the thought of loseing a big amount is daunting. Yet hearing about Annie who has done it gives me hope. Also I started off 23stone7 lbs now 21 stone and Evan though I am still massive I feel better about me. I have gone down a size now that felt good.

I am now getting out of bed to do
nothing x

Started after Xmas mid January. Started online but 4 weeks ago I lost focus. So instead of giving up I have joined a class. Weigh in Tuesday. I find chatting on here good keeps me focused. I joined the biggest loser group challenge (check it out a bit of fun and peer group motivation), I have dragged my mum with me for support, Oh also got me a pandora bracelet and every stone I have lost we go get a charm. I have 3 at the mo and 4lb for another...

Love that idea with the Pandora bracket and well done on not giving up and going to class instead and having your Mum for support.I'd be lost without this site!

I am lucky, last charm was a musical note with tickets to see Florence and the machine. I used to love live music but felt so self conscious I have not been for ages.... I was nervous but I loved it. So not only does that charm indicate a stone lose, it also reminds me through losing some weight I did something I gave up on due to my size.....what I need now is the confidence to do some excerise. I would love to go swimming but know I would never go!!!

Hi Haf...How are you today? Doing nights must really mess you up a bit...My weekend was fine, better than I thought it would be as I only take my boy to hospital Mon - Fri... I was worried that when I stopped zipping about, I'd miss food but I didn't! Had very difficult weekend with my son, a massive migraine and panic attack, and I also cleared out lots of junk from the home - so kept busy, stuck to my points and I think I did well. I am happy that I am in control of what I am eating now and I really want to get to my Goal. ;-) Yes, no respite for me at all... it is 24/7 with no one to help me...and I havea another little boy too so, it is hard. But, as you say, we Mum's just have to keep doing what we do and look after our babies...I am a little worried that if things get too stressful, I might reach for food and blow the diet but I guess, if I do, I'll just have to pick myself up and start a fresh.

Yes, it can be done...I started at 20 stones 10 pounds and got to about 10 stones or lil less....I am now 18 stones 7 lbs...hopefully less on Thursday.... 2 stones 8 lbs is a huge achievement. I'd be chuffed at that. I am looking forward to losing my first stone as I need more energy to run around with! lol! ;-) You will do it Haf & Shabbs... we will all do it if we keep focussed.

I am off to clean bathrooms believe it or not...there isn't enough time in the day to do it all! It is 22:25 ! lol! Then a nice hot shower and bed! Nite gals..xx

Haf, I too want to start swimming but don't want to be stared at ...yet...Lol! Can't wait and I can take my boys with me for protection from the stares! I plan to join the gym further long the line and maybe get a personal trainer if I have the time...but when I have lost about a stone (can't exercise yet as I am too out of breath and I run around a lot now anyway...), I plan to start doing what I used to do at home last year which is fun and great! Zumba on the Wii! Have you and Shabbs tried this? And yes, I love ur idea of the bracelet... xxx

 

[Haf]

I know exactly how you feel Haf, I don't do half the stuff I used to do because I now feel EVERYONE is staring at me!! ;(
We're heading in the right direction though hun

Well done on your weight loss :0)

Was super good in work last night. Everything pointed. I Also got one of the weight watchers pedometer at my meeting yesterday. I thought walking could be form of exercise I could do with out worrying what people are saying. I read the british heart foundation suggest 10000 steps a day for a healthy heart so that is my aim. I wore it to work yesterday and was totally shocked I hit my target from midnight until 7. This is from transferring patients to the ward. Seeing the steps encouraged me to take more than my share of a patients (not everyones fav job) it was kind of addicting. Mad thing is it said I earned 7pp!!!!!! Not using them but 7? Surely that's not correct. I wonder if you can turn points earned function off?

So work again tonight. Again planning on taking in grapes/strawberrys/yogurt/ meringue/ plus my faithfull salad and soup and bread.

 

[Haf]

Where is the biggest loser group challenge Haf? x

Hey Annie you go onto weight watchers forum here see the section weightwatcher teams click and it's called the biggest loser group. A woman called Carly puts you in your group and works out who the biggest loser is that week. Which group lost the most etc etc...

Sorry to hear about son. I hope there is someone supporting you also? Mums just seem to carry on looking after children, housework, jobs, cleaning bathrooms at silly o,clock!!!! But the added work and emotional worry that come with a sick child it the most draining. I know easier said than done but you need to take care of you also Annie xxxxx

 

[Haf]

Good luck Haf, and Mr A too. Great news about you turning your life around off your own back, glad you're happy!

Thankyou Tweeandbusucuits love the name!!!!
It's bizarre I keep worrying, what if it's taken off me again (silly as the rational me knows v unlikely, but the irrational me knows it has happened once) I try not to dwell on things, but it took me a while to work on guilt of moving forward and feeling happiness. 6 months ago I took Mr A to meet my husbands parents. They are both elderly and my husband was their only child, and my son their only grandchild. It was their idea. It was the best thing I could have done. They told me my husband would have loved how Mr A is with me and my son it's like he gave his approval through them. Mad Mr A now pops in when I am working to check inlaws are fine and if they need anything etc etc. they have even starting hinting to him about children!!! They are amazing people. X
