Happy New Year

[Mrs R]

Well here we are another new year. I *have* to loose three stone if not 4 for Whitby Gothic weekend in April so am doing total solution. So far since Jan 1st i have lost exactly one stone. The only way I can stand this is thinking about going to the Whitby pie shop in April

I toyed with exante a couple of years ago but wasn't really in the mood. I'm not overly keen on the current bars and shakes box, I hate the white chocolate bars and shakes. I also dislike the hazelnut shake, to me it tastes like liquidised ashtray contents disguised with hazelnut flavour and I don't smoke. The rest of it is ok. Bring back the days of orange choc chip and toffee and raisin.

In order to get myself motivated I have bought my outfits in a size 12-14 so if I don't loose the weight I will be in serious trouble because I can't afford any more outfits - a radical solution I know but i know I won't stick to it if I'm not a bit panic stricken. It's certainly worked this month, everytime I've gone to the fridge I've visualised myself not being able to get a size 12 over my head

Weli done on your loss so far Mrs R.

I'm the opposite when in panic mode. It makes me go completly off track!

Are you weighing weekly ?

 

[Darcy15]

Excellent loss - well done!

 

[Mrs R]

Thank you both. I try to weigh weekly but most of the time I stand on the scales every morning. My husband is doing paleo and is doing pretty well too. I like exante becasue the weight really comes off if you stick to the plan. I can't have any easy eat food in the house at all - it all has to be freezer stuff or things my husband will miss if I eat them. He counts the eggs everyday!!!

Happy new year Mrs R! I've been to Whitby a few times but never yet managed the Gothic weekend.

Years back I used to buy a dress or outfit in the size I longed to be and then slim into it. It worked pretty well. Now however I tend to lose weight more slowly and I suppose my self-belief has taken too many 'knocks' to be totally confident of losing all my surplus. Even so I might just buy a size 12 special outfit and hang it on the outside of my wardrobe. It worked before, and it may work again!

Good luck with your exante journey x
