Ahhh bless u - any sign of the stones yet???
Yeah I've decided that I need to concentrate on me for a while, I'm not ready for a relationship yet.
Just checked my book and it says "feel free to flavour your food with fat/calorie free non-oil based dressings (ie balsamic vinegar or stock) or even a squirt of lemon juice" Xxx

Awwww bless you - but totally understand. You were feeling vulnerable plus it's times like that you just want to be taken care of. I'm far too independent for my own good 99% of the time but we all need some TLC when we are feeling poo.
I have spent most of the night filling in all the paperwork for my new job, my brain is mashed - its times like this I need wine lol!! Still got to iron clothes for tomorrow - at least I'm off on Friday - this week has been draining xxx

Fairy just realised missed your early post re birth of the stones! I sooo feel for you! Pain is awful! Glad you are through the worst of it!!
You have to have blokes on your terms, they don't like it tough you can find another! I think finding a man, a good man is like finding the right pair of jeans that make you feel good, are comfortable and importantly the right fit!!

Ha ha ha ha - I LOVE that comparison and so true....I have a habit of dating 'jeans that that don't fit properly, they have a tendency to be too loose or too tight!' oh that had made me chuckle!!!
Well spent the day wrapping santa's presents and hidden them away whilst Sam is at school - Christmas party tonight at Aston Villa football ground so going to get ready in a bit. I'm driving and have only ordered turkey and low carb veg, I'm not having the starter or pud as got WI tomorrow.
How are you all doing?? xxxx

Yup! Fit is very important! Tall dark and handsome ain't good enough not when it comes to scoring on action!
I also spent day wrapping pressies though still have a couple outstanding so must purchase this weekend.
Went for mums night out and had tapas and was pleased with my choices and portion size and a left a little on my plate. Calories were no more than 1200-300 for the whole day as I had two vlcd products one for breaking and one for lunch. Was 8.13.2 on my morning sneaky weigh! Would love to get to 8st 12 for Monday's official weigh in.

Well just got back from my Christmas party and I have to say I am a little bit proud of myself!!
I drove so only had one glass of wine all night, I had a black coffee and then just drank water for the rest of the night. I didn't eat the starter, had turkey with carrot and sprouts with no sausage, stuffing, potato or roast parsnip and I didn't have the chocolate orange desert or any mince pies...it was hard but I did it!!
I had so many people comment on how much weight I've lost and had lots of lovely compliments, it's so made the last 5 months worth it! Still can't believe I've kept this diet up for so long, in some ways the time has dragged but in other respects it only feels like a week or so ago.
Got WI tomorrow, I'm hoping for STS as the mulled wine and chocolate last weekend resulted in a 5lb gain earlier this week...think I've managed to claw it back but we'll have to see, keep u'r fingers crossed for me! I've always had a loss every week and really don't want to start gaining :-/ xxxxxx

Wow! Well done! That's great! You are having a taste of maintaining in a way as you are conscious of portion size making choices of what to have. I imagine earlier in the year before cd you didn't have the same mindset you have now, somyou've come a real long way not just on the weightloss but on the mental work you've done too. X

Well done hunny that's amazing you managed to do that. And as Kira says also the fact you made those choices shows how far you have come. I also have weigh in today. I'm kinda looking forward to it. I haven't been really bad although I did have 2 rice cakes last night as I was bloody starving!!! Ha ha. We will see how much damage I have done this week. This is the first time I have had a weekly weigh in so we shall see what happens. Times your weigh in Christy? Kira how much have you lost so far? Xx

Well just had WI and I have somehow managed to claw back the weight I put on earlier this week after consuming mulled wine and chilli chocolate and I have officially lost 1lb!! Woohoo!!! So still maintaining the losses every week My scales first thing this morning said 14st12lb.
I am 1st1lb away from my second target of being "overweight", I can't bloody wait to be be out of the obese catagory - I have been classified as obese/morbidly obese most of my adult life. Kira you hit the nail on the head I think re maintenance, it really is about allowing the odd treat day but then making sure you work bloody hard to claw back the damage over the following days and also puts into perspective what healthcare professionals mean when they bang on about 'balance'. I think my perception of balance has always weighed more towards more treats, less healthy choices, hence why I have never been able to keep any weight losses off.
I had some fantastic compliments last night and it was an eye opener how many people have told me that they think I should stay as I am - I won't - I am determined to get another 2 stone off and get down to 13 stone. I will then take an overview and see if I think I should do one big last push to get down to 12 stone. One of the partner's at the law firm I work for says she is concerned I will start looking drawn and too thin if I try and get another 3 stone off, she is someone who I know only has my best interests at heart and she summed it up by saying its important I keep a 'lady like shape'. I have to say I tend to agree as I have always loved having curves as a teenager (last time I was 'slim').
I am just thinking back to my old Christmas party habits - I used to hoover up the food, get so drunk and used to spend a lot of lunch hours nipping to the German Market for bratwurst, garlic potatoes and gluwein! mmmmm!! This year I have not been round the German Market once, I drove to the party and only had a small turkey meal and you know what...I am still having a great time, it was really funny seeing how drunk some of my friends were last night...reminds me of the Christmas I was pregnant lol!!
So today I am going to do some more Christmas shopping this afternoon and meet up with my sister, I am one shake down and drunk a litre of water. I am staying in tonight watching Strictly and I am having cod baked with lime and coriander and a crispy salad. So motivated to get this next stone off asap xxxxxx
