Jo Jo will not Yo-Yo anymore!!

Ha ha! That did make me chuckle. Glad you had a great time away in sunny Donny, and your boys gave you a result. Think most of us can hold our hands up to doing drunk dialling/texting/facebooking - lord knows I have! Computers and phones should have a breathalyser and if over the limit, only taxis and in case of emergency numbers accessible :D

Good luck for WI! Xxx

What's a little half between friends ay? ;)

To be honest that's fantastic. To still get a loss after drink&kebab gate. How's your week so far? Still doing the reds?

I might give a red day a go - takes mega planning for me though :D xx

Hows it going treacle? Hope you are ok and had a good easter.
WI Last night and it was a measly 2lbs after all my hard work - think all the fibre had an adverse effect on me :D xx

hello lovely
i know its dissappointing after hard work but 2lb is still fabulous in fact more that fabulous xx
 
ok so here goes, ive been a little missing since before easter and this has kind of been on purpose. it all started with a month of being a SW angel and feeling that I didnt really lose what I deserved to then on the night out I had couple of weeks ago photos were taken and altho everybody keeps telling me that I look like ive lost weight i hated the photos and felt i looked hideous it really knocked me. I have had a big think over easter diet wise at first i decided i had enough of SW and was going to try a VLCD feeling I needed a big weight loss boost, I really do get fed up with being a SW angel and seeing small losses never seeming to get the biggies like others. Then I decided that maybe a VLCD wasnt right for me partly because of the cost and partly because these diets dont allow for you to live any sort of life and with impending weddings, hen do's and nights out coming up this really will restrict me. so then felt that maybe WW was the way to go a change back to something a little more restricted and something I know ive done before, i was close to registering on the WW website. finally ive come back round to staying with SW, partly because I do still like the diet and partly because i like my consultant and my group. so a week later and im in the same place i was before all this started however probabally a few pounds heavier from days off over easter. written down it all seems very childish and i know its got me nowhere however i really have been fed up for a few days.

so no wi for me yesterday but i really do need to get back on plan so going to a different group for wi tomorrow and will be back on plan, i have 6 weeks till i go away and with determination maybe i could lose another stone before i went away, its time to stop sulking and get stuck back in :rolleyes:

Big well done for admitting all that! Was very brave
I think your in the wrong mind set for SW - the small loss's your getting (which aren't small) is normal with SW meant to being a way of life and something you'll stay along the same line once your at target - if you want a huge loss in quick time then the other options are better but I doubt they work health wise and also doubt their sustainable through life after the weight has gone
Perhaps try shaking things up a bit with different meals, snacking in different items, maybe cut portions?
I personally think you've done great so far and you should carry on and you'll see the results that will stay life- long / it's hard and I've been there as you've read - your doing fab and you will continue to do fab xx

It did take a push to come back I do have to admit that but thanks hun it's good to get it down in writing. I know your right and I know that it's the healthiest and most likely sustainable way I think I just want it to happen now and want to see progress quicker. Again I have to remind myself I didn't get into this state over night so it won't change over night I think those pics were a bit of a knock tho. I think your right about portions I think I need to cut those down and think I also need to go back to basics.

Thanks for the kind words i know I'm being daft and wallowing in my own self pity that's why I know I need to snap out of it and get on with it. Miniminers are great and im really grateful for the support xx
 
Hiya sweetie, how you doing this morning? Are you feeling better after getting everything off your chest?
I think you have made a great choice to continue with SW and not go on to a VLCD or to change to WW. You know SW works and you are losing - albeit not at the rate you would like to see but you ARE still losing. It is mega frustrating when you "only" have say 1 or 2 lbs off a week (you should have heard me on Tuesday when I only got 2lbs....) BUT that is still a great loss, and as Emmey pointed out it is a sustainable way to lose weight. You could have chosen to go to WW, but tbh, what will that teach you that you dont already know? Portion control? You can do that, just ensure that your plate has 3rd superfree at minimum, maybe try serving food up on a smaller plate so you don't even think about the portion size - you are already controlling it without making it look like a tiny meal on a big plate.
The title of your diary says it all - you will not yo yo any more. So stick at it! I see people on here that lose the same amount of weight that I need to within a year and that makes me sulk sometimes but then again I think to myself, hang on! I am now 5.5 stone lighter, its taken me some time BUT have I still had a life and gone out drinking occasionally and had holidays where I have made the best conscious effort to eat on plan but not jeapordised having a good time? Hell yeah! This is meant to be a change for life and I believe it is.

Maybe give your C a call and have a chat with her about your concerns? Or there is a couple of people on here that lose below average every week and they still have the motivation to keep going so maybe grab them and ask them how they keep at it? You do sound like you are ready for action and back on the motivated wagon but you need to keep that with you all the time. Just think how great it feels to see a loss, that should be what keeps you going.

As for the pictures, pfft, give it a couple of months and you will be saying who is that girl? Its the things like that, that should spur you on even more if you don't like what you see! I found some pics at my mums at the weekend and I felt repulsed by them to the point where I was like " I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THAT!!! " I will be putting them up on my diary soon so you can SEE for yourself (I trust you guys not to laugh or mock or feel as disgusted as I did :))

Just remember, it is only you that can do this, but WE can support you and help you along the way. If you need anything sweetness, just scream and we can be here to kick your ass or give you advise. You aren't alone in this so please don't ever feel like you are xxx

Morning minks
What a lovely post to wake up to made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy too. You lot are so god damn lovely and are part of the reason I'm still here.

I do feel better for getting it down in writing actually and for feeling like I have a plan again I go away in 6 weeks and do not want to feel disgusted by holiday pics so I know I need to keep going or I'll end up where I was before. You and Emmy are right tho I do need to make a few tweaks I think and really go back to basics portion control being one of those things.

I know one day I will look back at photos and feel like I am not that person anymore I just expected to feel that a bit more already I think. Maybe I need to lower all my expectations and take it all for how it comes losses and everything else, just easier said than done isn't it!! You've done amazingly tho and so deserve to see that change (and for the record we would never mock or laugh at your photos I'm sure u looked amazing then too just a thinner amazing now :) )

Ok I really need to get to work, again Thanku for the post it really has put a smile on my face and thanks for your support too it's great to know I have my minimin friends there who understand what I'm going through.

Have a good day minks x
 
There you are missy! ;) sending some big hugs your way! Totally understand your frustration but you CAN do it..you know it and so do we. Definitley go back to basics- have you done a food plan for the week? Deffo do that and do it in as much detail as possible, i always find that helps when you need a little push.
One of those pictures you don't like, force yourself to print it out as a reminder of the person you don't want to be! Think how good it will feel when you have a picture further down the line and you're looking all slinky! x

This does not sound childish at all, it sounds human!!!

We are all the same really, once we've decided to lose weight we want it all gone, by the following morning preferably, if not before. We never learn though. And keep giving ourselves a hard time over it. Just look at the post 2 above the bare your soul one here. You are congratulating Minky on her 2 lb loss and reasuring her that it all counts etc. Bet if you had a 2 lb loss under the same circumstances you'd be unhappy and wondering what you did wrong. We're all too hard on ourselves yet supportive of others in the exact same position. It has taken me a long time to notice we all do this and I'm trying to stop myself from being that way too cos the disappointment of not getting what I hoped I'd get at WI has often thrown me and made me head to the takeaway or the chocolate aisle in supermarket, and then I do get what I expect the following week, a huge gain.

I personally put this weight on over a period of many years and need to realise that it could take years to come back off. Hopefully not but you never know. Meantime I'm glad you've decided to stick with SW as I think it's the best one out there in diet land.

I'm on a back to basics ATM too cos I had a really bad gain after being away end of March beginning of April and now need to re-lose 5.5lbs. But we CAN and we WILL do this together. Here's to more successes in the future. :)
