Kay's journey to health and happiness

[cloudy6]

Right I've changed my target on my stats to 9 stone and my target date back to Christmas this year, now I just need to tell my C ! grrrrrrrr xx

Oh Kay, I feel for you. We've probably all been shopping and spur of the moment bought things that when we get home and try on, we wonder what on earth we were thinking. I know you can't get refunds on sale items but they may let you exchange of give you a credit note?
I have horrible arms too but there are things you can choose that disguise that, the other day I bought a lovely top that was quite slim fitting and had a patterned body but with sheer black sleeves. The way it hangs is really flattering, I felt ok with still two and a half stone to lose and got lots of compliments. I can't wear tight sleeves though, or very clingy jersey type fabrics as they definitely show the lumps and bumps!
Targets aren't set in stone and can be revised of course.
As to joining the gym, I'd be careful, you don't want to make your back worse in the long run but maybe the hospital could refer you to physio who could then advise what you CAN safely do, at home. Toning doesn't always need heavy weights, can't you use lighter ones, maybe sitting in your chair with your back well supported and over the day doing lots of repetitions?

I agree with Cloudy. She talks a lot of sense. We all have drawers full of "one day clothes" I know I certainly do. Make your target the number that makes you feel comfortable, don't do what someone else wants. Give yourself time to heal and you will get the body you have wished for. You deserve it :bighug:We are all rooting for you. x

Thanks Cloudy, some of the stuff will probably fit me better once I'm a stone lighter. It's true what someone said, the problem areas are always the last to go ! I always lose off areas I don't need to and the ones that need to shift don't budge ! 2 more stone and that should get rid of my arms and tum, I hope . I will speak to my GP about exercises I can do at home. Thanks lovely, your always so supportive . Hope you had a lovely day.

Aww thanks HN. Your right I will never be happy until its a target I feel is right for me. I just don't see after 1 stone I will have lost that much. I think 2 stone should do it. Thanks for your lovely words, your spot on hun . Hope you had a fabby day !

Aww Kay, I am sorry your shopping trip has upset you today.

Thing is, you might not think you will look much different to the way you do now with another stone lost but I am only an inch shorter than you and was the weight you are now when I started this journey, I'm now a stone lighter and I can tell you that that stone has made a huge difference. So although it's fine that you have changed your target weight please take it one step at a time hun and see how you feel once you are at 10st.

You have come so far Kay and I know you will get to where you want to be xxxxx

 

[Kay003]

Sorry I've not replied to all posts today, I will defo do so tomorrow morning, been out most of the day and am a bit shattered didn't have the best of days either . Trying on the clothes has made me realise how much I want to lose another 2 stone. I am super charged now to do this :superwoman:, I had a day off today, but back on it tomorrow. I feel like I really want to kick some butt . I have a spreadsheet that I have done for myself, I am going to go and change it with my new target figure. I need to change my minis goals for this month too ......... back in a sec ..........pops off .......xx

NEW Mini Goals for July 2014

Right I'm so gonna do this ! I currently weigh 10st 13lbs .

- to get to 10st 10lbs and get into normal bmi range instead of overweight
- to get my 5.5 stone award to be at 10st 8lbs
- to do The Salad Challenge for the next 2 weeks to help me get there

Wish me luck folks !

Kay xx

Actually having the smaller clothes will be a reminder to me of the lovely stuff I can fit into when I'm at target so its all good and will keep me motivated to want to be slim. I am going to hang them up all nicely and when I want to reach out to my biccys, I will see my lovely new outfits and it will stop me! Yay ! Win win .

Just popped back indoors (was watering the garden, it's still so warm out) and so pleased to see you've turned it all round to be positive. Go Kay, you can so do it!
Night hun, I'm off for a shower, then bed. X
