Oo good luck! How exciting to weigh in - you've been so good are you hoping to be in the 8's?

After a holiday in Wales ( where hubby's nana admitted she loves seeing people visit skinny and leave fat ) and eating what was put down to us so not to offend, then hubby's 30th, Mother's Day and our wedding anniversary in the one weekend, then illness which meant I couldn't exercise or fast and the pain meds made me ravenous for everything naughty and only 1 and a half weeks back on plan I'm hoping for 9.5 or under. 9.5 would be a 3lb gain though... that's why I'm seriously petrified! It could be worse!

Wow! Talk about multitasking! Not sure I could hula and be on minimins are same time! My typing is pretty bad without trying to hula at same time!

Can't believe you've managed not to weigh since 22 March! Now that is restraint but I'm a serial weigher....when not in denial! Hope it's the weight you want and have been aiming for..... I'm pretty sure it will be but either way your are looking amazing and very tiny.

It's not restraint but fear, believe me if I'd had at home scales I'd still be daily weighing. Lol. I'm petrified kira, genuinely. I hate how much bad feeling I have around scales... xxx

Why do you have to weigh yourself? I can feel the anxiety through your posts. Can't you just stick with your excellent plan and go by how you feel rather than risking the silly numbers upsetting you? Whatever works well for you of course, just don't like to hear you stressing about that when you've had such a positive journey and should be so proud x

Ill feel alright tomorrow, it's the worry, I know if its more I'm doing something any way and it'll come off again. I know I had no control over what happened, and tried my best to be good. I want to know where I am, but am still scared lol. The scales obviously still do have a massive affect on me, I just wanna get back to my happy place and as sad as it sounds ( to me anyway ) my happy place obviously means knowing my weight is stable. I know it shouldn't, and I hate myself for thinking the way I do... It's because I wasn't in control of the situation a few weeks ago, I'm now in control and want to see I'm in control ( I know it sounds stupid but I need to see I'm maintaining ) once I see where I am, I can then decide how long to 4:3 for before I go back to 5:2 or 6/1.

Thanks for the lovely post though, it'll be over soon though. Xxx

Doesn't sound silly I can totally understand what you are feeling. In that case - fingers crossed you get the results you are hoping for - always good to have a plan action - I think in the past i have panicked after weigh ins - but it's often because I didn't have a well laid out plan like you have.

Control or not - you know yourself and if it works - fantastic.

I have had a habit of not praising myself enough when I've done so well and been at a weight which is great really, in the past, so would hate for you to forget how well you have done and are doing. Lots of people on here clearly are inspired and impressed

I do still fit in them, but they're not as loose as I remember lol. They were tight at first lol, but they're nowhere near as tight but I feel they're still not quite right lol. I'd say weigh weigh weigh! More so until your in your routine. At least have a start point. I know ill be gutted later today and because of this feeling now I wished I had weighed before I was able to fast and exercise again. At least then I could see the loss and not just a gain... xxx

Thanks so much, I know looking at the bigger picture i should be so happy still, especially since my 8s still fit fine and I went looking at dresses yesterday and they were all size 8s and fitted fine... I wish I could say I'd broken the hold the scales have on me, that I don't care about weight... But I doooo I know I shouldn't buy I do. I have friends that hardly ever weigh, I wish I didn't mind. Ill know where I am in a few hours... In the meantime, it's thighs, abs and Shaun t :/ xxx

Maybe the less focused on weight is something you can work towards - especially as you clearly know from your clothes anyway. But in the mean time if it makes you feel better / more in control overall then it's kind of a positive thing at the moment.

Really enjoyed reading your diary. Hope you get a good result. Did you use a hula exercise DVD to get started? If you did, can you let me know which one. Thanks.

I know what your saying and I was a daily weigher, in fact I'd weigh before and after every pee lol... So to go 40 days with no weigh was quite something lol. Xxx

Sorry you're disappointed hon, that's still a great weight but I understand if you wanted it to be less. What are you aiming for?
