How to lose half your body weight in 10 days (Or a bit longer!)

Well done on the 5stone. That is an amazing amount of weight to have lost.
 
Thanks anju. Now I've lost 5 stone I know I can lose the rest. I know how hard it is to see sometimes when we have such a lot to lose. My consultant has recently been saying that no one knows how much determination it takes or what it is like unless you have lost that amount yourself. It was lovely, two new members got their half stone awards and the last award was mine and the clapping was huge and there were cheers, it was so embarrassing and so touching at the same time. It was really nice I got it at the same time as people getting their first award and we had a few new members in too.
 
Ah what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger! I'll get there in the end! Lots of my friends are teeny tiny ! Seriously when they eat whatever they want I get so jealous.

I'm yet to try scan bran to be honest it frightens me a little bit!
 
Thanks guys. :)

Emma it scared me for a whole year! do not worry. Diet coke chicken and mushy pea curry both terrified me but I love them now! I'm definitely more adventurous in a different way to others. I've never really been a take-away girl, I've always had lots of veg and "proper food" so it's just trying things that seem weird to me that I'm trying. I suppose more faddy sounding foods.

Well the cheers were amazing. And my mum said she was proud of me and I should be proud of myself, which she doesn't really say. Everyone was laughing at us bickering, but it is all in good humour so it is ok :) The only down side today was from the woman who I have said has been snarky to me before. Her daughter popped over to say hi and ask how I've gotten on before the meeting and I chatted to her and her mum didn't say anything, which is fine as she was sat down already, but when she went to leave she just kind of rushed past. Normally she says hi and stuff. I think maybe it bugged her that I (finally) got my 5 stone award. For a while (until 3 stone) she was ahead of me. Then I got my 3 stone award first. and she's been going up and down and targeted at around 4 stone (she's a similar amount to me to lose) while she was moving house. While I had a cruddy month last month she was being nice and stuff, and now I've gotten another award ahead I don't think she's happy. I HOPE it isn't that and she was just busy, but she's made so many comments in the past.

STILL not heard about the house. Grr. I WANT TO KNOW! And I want knowing to be being told YES!
 
Fran all i can say is - JEALOUSY - the woman clearly is envious of you doing so well. If she followed the plan as you do she would lose too. I know you wont let it get to you, your made of better stuff.

Your mum has good reason to be proud of you hun.

Again no news is good news re the house I think you will know before the week is out x
 
I hope it's not that Fran but it could be. Some people are fine when they are on top, so to speak & don't like others fortune.

I too hope it's a YES to house very soon
 
I murdered my attempt at diet coke chicken but will give it another try soon. Have you had scan bran on its own or just as an ingredient? I keep reading about the mushy pea curry but haven't braved that try either. Think my fave slimming world discovery so far has been the chips, I wouldn't tend to chose chips with a meal before but now I have them at least once a week and they're healthy !
 
I wouldn't think that normally, but she was nice when the scales weren't moving, chatting and stuff, and she used to make snarky comments about me all the time in front of everyone, which made me wonder. I might text her in the week and see how she's settled in the new house.

I was told I'd know withing two weeks, and tomorrow will be one week. I just hate not knowing and I've been watching these houses being built so I'm desperate to be told I can live there and stay a part of this community where I feel like I belong. The idea of starting up somewhere new again is scary :(

Hi Emma, thanks very much. It's been a bloody arse getting there!!! Hoping to speed my way to my five and a half stone award. Never bloody happy am I?! I just notice I'm your starting weight! (even though I'm a bit shorter, haha) How have you found getting down to where you are now? I just think you look fabulous in your profile picture. I've admired it for quite a while!

I'm the same, never really had chips that often. Now I want them ALL THE TIME! We've got a Phillips Air Fryer and they make the most amazing chips, I just spray a little fry light on the chips and bob them in! If you like dahl curries that is all the mushy pea curry really is. I love it, but dad broke the toilet last time so I've not made it in a while! Today is the first time I've had scan bran. I nibbled a corner, I had the oat one as that was all that was in stock. It was ok, but wouldn't be my first choice to use a heb on, but as a cake it is nom-a-licious! I'd love to know what you did to the diet coke chicken! I'm making it this week, but with turkey as it is cheaper (and leaner, but only really because it was cheaper)
 
No I don't normally jump to conclusions or think the worst & I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but unfortunately sometimes people just are rude & jealous. Good for you for being the bigger person for thinking about texting her.

I'd hate the thought of trying to move & settle somewhere new as it sounds like you have really fitted into your community. Lets hope within the next week or so you get good news. It will be great for you & Nate.

I'd love an actifry might have to invest in one, they look great.
 
They are really good. Make's life easier. I'd love to get one for when I move. I think if I get this house I will treat myself to one. If I get it from Phillips it is just under £100. I bought one a few months ago for cheaper, brand new, but the silly woman didn't package it properly so it arrive smashed to pieces. I got a full refund, but it was a pain. I use it for chips, jacket potatoes, chicken when it is just nate and I (I did chicken kievs in there and they were epic!) and we've baked little pies and quiches in there. It's good to not have to put the oven on for just a little something.

She could just be busy rushing off, but I dunno. It was her and another lady I was nominated with for woman of the year last year. The other lady won it, and she targeted early because she just wasn't losing, I last saw her at group at xmas, but I saw her in town the other day. I'd always used the two of them to keep me focused on getting on further. It's hard when there aren't many people with so much to lose. It is also BLOODY GOOD! haha. But it is difficult when you do have so much to lose. To see people DOING it, not just when it is done and ticked off.
 
Yeah it is hard when you've got a lot to lose like me but we'll do it :)

I might look into an actifry if you are able to do so much in them.
 
Lol. Good girl adelle :p didn't want you shattered all day.

That must be great motivation to know what you will look like at that weight, which is bloody gorgeous. What you went through is so common. Even in the course of a year I've seen it a lot. I can't wait to know what I will look like at each stage. At around 14 or 15 I had a massive growth spurt and grew more than a foot! Because at 13 I was 4 foot. Lol. Unfortunately I was also 13 stone. Thank god I grew upwards! So I'm really starting to enter the unknown!

I realised I haven't been posting my food but I have been filling in a food diary.

Today I've had fruit, cereal and yogurt. Raspberries, banana, pear, mullerlight, 35g of blueberry wheats and a cup of tea. Just going to get a big glass of squash too.
