Last 'diet' of my life - 8 stone gone!

[JoanneM]

Yep and it was great.

We went for a coffee, then ended up in a local history museum and then went for a couple of drinks. Spent the entire day in fits of laughter and even discussed the wedding, lol.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

[LVLLM]

[LVLLM]

OOH are you ok drinking on exante or do you get real drunk????

LOL im having one in brighton and one in newcastle pmsl!!!

 

[JoanneM]

Has to be done.

I dont get into ketosis with Exante anyway so as long as I know when to stop Im fine with it. Did feel a bit giddy today mind you but I dont think it was the vodka.

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Giddy with the 'L' Jo!!

[LVLLM]

Linz..yey go ahead no idea on dates though pmsl!

omg i want wine...i can have wine....

 

[JoanneM]

Yay to the wine! I got a delivery of 15 bottles yesterday. Trying to convince myself not to open one of them lol.

 

[Kat1e]

Yummy wine . What did you get delivered Jo?

DH talking about getting some more brut zero champagne in (low sugar) - shame we are only allowed to drink the expensive stuff now!

 

[LVLLM]

15!!!! omg i only bought one bottle! and thats not like me.

 

[Kat1e]

Hmmm - i wonder why all the wine lovers end up on atkins?! At the do last night we told the other people at the table that they could share out the food because we were on a diet and they looked at us strangely and said surely you should give the booze up first!
We were happy

 

[JoanneM]

Lol Katie sounds great to me.

Its various red wines. I order from a site called naked wines and get next day delivery which is always good.

That definitely isnt like you Vicky. You must be sickening for something.

 

[JoanneM]

When I first started dieting I used the ideal weight calculator on the dukan website. It told me my ideal weight was 12'2. At the time I thought 'yeah right, I dont think so' but Im now thinking that it might actually be right coz apart from my middle which does have a lot of loose skin I do think I might actually be happy with myself at that weight. I dont know if I will stop there and probably wont to be honest but its an interesting thought. And I must admit that the thought that I might only have to lose another stone is amazing, lol.

 

[LVLLM]

lol why dont you set that as your goal and just see when you get there?

 

[JoanneM]

I have been considering it Vicky. Although I might aim for 11 1/2 to give me some leeway. Hmm seriously considering changing my stats now.

 

[LVLLM]

hmmm My original goal when starting dieting was 10 7, then went to 10 4, then 10 2 and then i got to 10 7 again just before brum and i thought No im happy here. and i know i can always change it if need be. Put it to 11 1/2 and work towards that, You may find you get to twelve and are happy. Look how far you have come anyway. The thing i like about the true weight thing is that it takes into account bone size, babies, previous dieting etc etc and we cant be the size/shape we were when we were 17. It just aint gonna happen.
hope this helps x
