Katiebaby- back to Slim and save for the last leg of my journey

[ayshaahmad]

Have a good time I hope the weather is good for you your cousin will be shocked seeing you all the weight you have lost.

My weigh in well what I failed to report on here was that prior to Ramadan I had A bad week and went from 13st 9.8 to 14st :/ I'm hoping to be back where I was inshaallah x

Inshaallah u will do, its so easy to go on isn't it which is scary!
Thanx I will do we are just hoping Eid is on the 19th now lol so we can go the next day as last year we missed a days holiday because Eid was a day later! My cousin saw my face on Skype as wouldn't show her the rest of me and she was amazed how skinny my face looked lol

 

[katiebaby]

Lol get someone to take a photo of her face, people are shocked when they see me but I can only see how far I have to go. I still haven't got used to this new shape I still go into shops not believing I'm a size 16 trousers now I wonder how long that takes to change.. We have Eid down as the 19th as Ramadan is only ever 30 days max and the 19th is day 30 I believe. We seem to do it a bit different to others.

I had a bad week the week before fasting as we were moving and just didn't have the time or energy to cook and owning a kebab shop becomes an easy choice lol. No more though x

Inshaallah sister I can't wait... If I am careful between now and eid I hope I can get below 13st really get safely under

I am going to turkey in 7 weeks to see my inlaws... When they saw me last I was 15st 12... Now I am 13st 8 I have decided when fasting is finished in about 3 weeks I am going to do a few weeks of slim and save. I have been eating rubbish the last week...not lots but just what I can grab as I'm so tired! I cook lovely meals for my husband and his staff but I'm so tired after I don't tend to bother for myself so I'm grabbing something quick then snacking on biscuits and chocolate. I don't think I go above 1500-1600 calories but after a vlcd that's a lot and I don't want to start gaining. So starting from today I am going to starting being conscious of what's going in my mouth, I have a goal to reach and this self sabotage seriously isn't going to help me. I need to start using this diary again as its become dormant and that's my own fault!

I feel slim and save is the only answer to get to my final goal, even though I'm at my lowest yet I seem to have been playing the last few months with the same few pounds and that wasnt my plan my plan was to be at least at goal if not lower. My goal for fertility treatment is 13 which isn't far off but I would love to be less than that. I have decided I wont call the hospital until I get back from turkey. Which will be 1 year since I saw her... Playing these last 3 months has affected my timeline ( the one in my head which puts too much pressures on itself) so I'm going
To Buckle down and I have 6 weeks after fasting ( yup im taking my packs to turkey otherwise I'll get out of control) to get to about 12 stone... You think that's possible?

 

[ayshaahmad]

Salaam sis blimey reading that was like I had written it, I have been doing exactly the same as u and I was hoping to of been at my 12 stone goal by end of august and obviously that won't happen cos I am still in the high 14s due to mucking about the last few months and with fasting I have been making hubby his food and I've been grabbing what I can I seem to have been ok the last 3 days but that's not enough to see a huge loss this week! Why do we do it to ourselves? But katie inshaallah in 7 weeks if u stick 100% to a plan u will be in those 12s no problem u have done amazing and the family in turkey will be amazed as even 2 stone difference from when they saw u last is a huge amount! Stick to it and the weight will drop off inshaallah!

 

[Kira]

Awh! Katie you (and Aysha) have done brilliantly! You don't have a huge amount to lose to goal and I think you could easily lose a good few pounds in 6 weeks on SnS. Go girl! Your relatives will definitely notice the 2stone loss!

Wa alaikum salaam

This morning wait for it I had a big cookie and half a falafel wrap :/ I feel bloated and huge this morning even though I look the same lol my sister in laws mom saw me on Skype the other day and she couldn't believe how much more I has lost but I just don't feel it as I feel like I'm letting myself down. We can do it sis seriously we know we can we need to squash that self doubting niggle (shaytaan) in our head and get on with it. I have just ordered 2 weeks of food from low carb megastore (it's the same food as slim and save) I decided I will start from today as I have a big box of various bits and some bars. My plan is s and s porridge and a milkshake before closing the fast then on opening an s and s meal with my veg and a bar with a coffee then after fasting back to normal. I think doing that I could lose a bit the next two weeks.

When do you weigh in?

Another promise is that I will keep this diary up to date as I am desperate for the support right now x

Awh! Katie you (and Aysha) have done brilliantly! You don't have a huge amount to lose to goal and I think you could easily lose a good few pounds in 6 weeks on SnS. Go girl! Your relatives will definitely notice the 2stone loss!

I don't have a huge amount your right but why is it we only see how far we have to go and never how far we have come it's crazy but I need to love with this and deal with it. My in laws will be shocked as when I went in march everyone was telling me I had lost enough lol so I hope to be 3 stone lighter than that in September. How are you getting on kira?

 

[Kira]

I think therein lies the difficulty i.e. not having a huge amount to lose but it seems harder in a way. You are right you have achieved so much and we shouldn't forget that.
Fasting for Ramadan is also challenging and I can completely understand why you had a cookie and falafel! Interesting how family and friends tell you that you've lost enough weight yet not often do they tell us we are getting fatter! Why! You will know exactly when to stop losing more weight so don't let that be an added stress. I'm back on track and on day 3 of SnS and this really will be my last attempt and then onto healthy eating and more exericse I refuse to spend the rest of my 40;s on and off vlcd's!

 

[ayshaahmad]

Walia kum salaam, Exactly shaatan that's what hubby said, its like having a devil and an angel on each shoulder but the devil is winning with weight issues argh we will do it, we have an amazing reason to loose this weight which we shouldn't forget, no matter how happy we are at the moment with our size we need to loose more to bring another life into this work inshaallah we can and will get there!
I am usually ok in the mornings I have a shake and half a bar and then the same in the evening but its after taraweeh that I pick as hubby will come home from mosque and eat cake or biscuits so I will pick, but last few days have got chicken ready or some boiled eggs so may have to do that in future!!!

That's a good idea I may do the same just invade I become peckish. I'm normally fast asleep after Isha as I work at 8 every morning so Its not to bad it's just my bad choices that need addressing I'm hoping doing this will help me. My body doesn't need the food I'm feeding it.

My husbands nice foods and cakes i make aren't an issue as I can't taste them while cooking them and then I send them to the shop with him just before fast opens. So it's my brain I need to engage and I need to knock this shaytaan off his lofty perch regarding weight loss issues.

 

[ayshaahmad]

Good luck sis we can do it!

 

[katiebaby]

We can inshaallah ! My parcel comes tomorrow so Friday suhoor is my start point

 

[Kira]

Looking forward to you doing SnS on Friday! I;ve just posted on Yolande's thread it is good to remind myself I am not alone especially when that feeling of "this is sooo hard why am I putting myself through it" crossed my mind.

I'm looking forward to it as well as looking at the scales tonight fasting and my carb eating has resulted in 3lb gain... Ergh! So I think I may even start in the morning as I have a few packs left from last times

 

[Kira]

It is likely to be water gain I would have thought? Also weighing in the evening compared to weighing first thing in the morning (post pee!) can differ by a few pounds. I know I am a scale hopper as it is another addiciton I have well only when I am trying to do a vlcd!

 

[ayshaahmad]

I agree with kira I am sometimes 4lb heavier in the evening than in the morning so I wouldn't worry! How did you get on thismorning? I drowned myself in water I think and felt awfull could only manage a shake!
