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

it is hard when you have so much to lose, like me! 10 stone to go seems a long way off. But i am trying one stone at a time. people do get jealous. My mother in law lives with me and she is trying to lose weight by starving herself and although lost a bit of weight, is now struggling. I mentioned the other day that whilst walking, my knickers kept slipping. I went on to say I had lost 6 inches off my waist - all she said was I need to buy more knickers! Nothing postive or encouring or anything!!
 
We are dart aren't we Emma! I can confirm you looked amazing, I dunno what you look like now though, you probably still look wonderful.

Anju, it is hard when two people are trying to lose weight under the same roof. That's why I'm glad I didn't lose more than a lb, because mum would have been devistated had I lost more than her in her 1st week back. Maybe just mention when there are promotions and offers on at sw and say how nice it would be to go together and support each other and you're sure she'd have some great recipes you could make slimming world friendly together. Being in a house with someone who is constantly hungry will be grim. And if you are constantly hungry you won't be as supportive as you otherwise might be. Yay for needing new underwear though! I think I lost either 2.5 or 3 stone when i went out and got myself a bunch of new bras. I have started to fasten them on the middle clasp recently which is something I have never done so that is pretty exciting.

Fastening bras on the middle setting is something new for me and it never occurred to be a little aim of mine. But having a waist less than 30linches has been a goal from the start. A less than 30 inch waist for women is a healthy size. I measured myself on Tuesday evening and it was 32 inches with no pulling tight and no breathing in! I didn't measure myself when I started, fear of what it would be, no tape measure, not really realizing I was supposed to do it right away, but mostly the horror of what it would be. No way was it going to be healthy! But just before I lost 2 stone I manned up, found a fabric tape measure and I was either 44" or 42" (i will need to double check in my book). 3 stone on and I'm 10 inches smaller, so I am hoping within the next stone I will sneak under 30" I should also say that now my hips and chest are 44" and 42" respectively. So now one or the other is what my waist was after nearly 2 stone lost. So over all I am still big but my waist is utterly random and goes in a lot... And then my massive arse sits under it! But the idea that a healthy waist is in my sights reducing the risks of various cancers, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. For ever I thought I was ok because I didn't have any health problems. It took a while to realise i wasn't healthy, I was lucky. I'm so glad i started dealing with it last year instead of waiting until I was told I'd had a stroke, heart attack, diabetes etc. And now I'm so close to having a normal/low risk of these things. Big up being pear shaped!!!
 
Yay you for the excellent stats. I only took mine in case I had a STS one week and then the lost inches would continue to motivate me.
As for healthy vs lucky I started to think what condition my health would be if I didn't lose weight. I struggle on the stairs and lacked energy to even walk round Tesco. That isn't healthy! Now I have lost my first stone I have been walking the dog 4 times a week for about an hour. Later tonight off to my first aqua fit class. Dreading getting into to the water but have always loved the classes which is great exercise for someone of my weight!
 
Ooh have fun. I used to love swimming (I don't go now because of childcare issues). I can tell you no one will be looking at you, they'll all be worrying about their own wobbly bits. See, I didn't struggle to do anything, because I walked every where I needed to be I never struggled day to day, I just ate too much extra crap!

My star week theory seemed to be right! Drank more and got a loss. woop. So

B: 35g blueberry wheats (heb), mullerlight, pear, banana, raspberries
L: tomato, vegetable and lentil soup
D: turkey kofta with rice and broccoli. I grated some courgette and chucked in some mushrooms into the kofta sauce too. a chocolate jumbo snack a jack (3 syns)

I've had loads of squash and water and a cup of tea. Not sure whether to syn the milk in the tea and have cheese or use another 2 syns to make it in hot chocolate. I need some proper chocolate too So it'll be another high syn day, I've a small twirl for 9 syns, or another chocolate snack a jack (3) and a flake (7) or some other choices, I'll scout through my syn bag!
 
Im snotty and coughing like a 60 a day smoker lol my physio thinks my problem is my 10th Rib???? and wants me to see her superior on my next visit just to confirm. She asked if Id been in any accidents which I found weird. So watch this space
 
I hope so hun - but its weird cos Ive not done anything I can think of for it to be my ribs?? She still thinks its my posture - im getting my new desk and stuff at work on Monday so that should help too
 
Couple of awesome NSV's there honey with the bra and waist measurements, fab-u-lous.
And I'm with the others on the narky group woman, seems like a case of the green eyed monster. Just brush it off and don't worry about it xx
 
That is weird Texty, at least she will be getting to the bottom of it though, and hopefully get you on the mend. the coughing etc just sounds gross. Don't give it to me!

Ta Minks, it's not too bad, it was worse when she was going on about me shining my halo and ****. I just wanted to tell her to grow the hell up, I am losing weight for me, I don't give a crap if i'm unpopular by following the plan. We're all responsible for what we put in our own cakeholes. I just ignored it and eventually she stopped. I've had a similar conversation with my mum about going to SW to control her weight and eating/drinking habits and she can see her friends for coffee afterwards rather than instead of sitting through the meeting. That time at SW is once a week and is for her, it's time that isn't negotiable. It really isn't, because she got it on referral she has to stay for the meeting. Of the friends she made last time round 3 of them are at target, so don't need to stay for the meeting, but the 4th has put on all the weight she lost and has an excuse each week as to why she can't stay and why she hasn't lost weight. Mum doesn't want that to be her too.

I had a call from the housing people. And the company I rented my last place from has gone bust so they can't get a reference from them. So I gave them details of the previous two. One might not be any good because it is just a big company, and we sent the money direct to the landlord's dad. But the one before is still running her business and so I gave them her number too. At least I got a call so I know roughly where about's they are at. Stupid company going bust.
 
How inconsiderate of them going bust! Very careless lol. Its good they are requesting/looking into references though Fran.
 
i know! stupid company. I knew they were going to go through my references though. I've just got to sit tight.

Nate didn't wake until 8:30 and he didn't wake screaming. He was pretending to tickle his teddies. cuteness. I might take him to the god squad toddler group this morning.

Porridge for breakfast this morning with banana and blueberriies and/or raspberries. yum
 
Took Nate to toddler group. As soon as we're there "there are doughnuts and pain au chocolat in the kitchen for the adults. I said no thanks and got to say I got my 5 stone award this week when she asked how the slimming was going. :D

Popped the chicken bits in the oven while I put Nate down and going so serve it with left over stew/soup and left over rice. Then I will start off the chilli for tea. Having it with jacket potatoes. Yummy.

B: porridge (heb and part yea the rest will go in tea) with raspberries, blueberries and banana.
L: chicken thighs, rice, leftover stewy soup from yesterday which is full of veg and I will probably have a pear afterwards.

Zero syns so far so I can have something nice later :)
 
hey adelle, I've had 3 from a big snack a jack earlier now. I've been hungry ALL DAY today so I've been trying to kill it with free and superfree food! I've been drinking plenty too so I know it is hunger and not thirst.

Lunch was a massive hit with everyone and it was mostly just re-heating! Chilli wasn't hot enough for me, but it had to suit everyone, I added extra chilli to mine. I must just be odd! Finally feel full though.

Hi Trinbum! I know! I don't half waffle on! You've lost so much already, I don't doubt you will be at target before the summer starts!
