Holiday Countdown!
Pfft yeah I'm weighing. Up a good few pounds... need to stop eating sh*t and getting drunk!
Yesterday was ok - fruit through out the day. Then I ate 8 celebrations chocolates - fail. Dinner randomness was 2 lc sausages, peppers and onion with noodles. And 2 ww petit pains with philli chilli light. Why?!
So today I've had 2 hifi lights and a packet of ww mini cookies. WI I'll be disappointing my C but screw her. I should have just set my target at 11 stone - clearly my body likes being around that mark and fluctations never see me more than 3 up or down. But alas I'm a douche and set myself up for a hard one so what with my hectic social life over the next month I'm going to follow sw but I have a 5:2 diet book to take some recipes from for low cal days to balance out. I can't starve myself because 1) thats stupid and 2) I love food far too much. But I have to live and if my C don't like it then tough titties!
Food later is piri piri chicken - was meant to have it last night but the boy wasn't feeling good so went out the window.
Also, (random!) planning on going on holiday in October so I need to get target and start toning this bod for acceptable beach/summer wear. Haven't had a holiday in 2 years so its well bleeding needed.
Hope all are ok? Xx

Not so much I'm gunning for her, but I get p'ed off at how she makes me feel if I'm not 'performing' for her/group. Like, I feel sh*t enough about having a gain as it is, no need to make me feel worse! There are times when she just doesn't even bother with me in IT group, but when I've lost then I'm the biggest star EVER! And with woman of the year coming up she even said last week "with donna coming so close to target if she were to win the group there is every chance she could go on to nationals and even finals" not too much pressure ay? (God I'm a grumpy ***** today!!)
I really like my C and I think she is lovely but I do feel a lot of pressure from her (as I've said before) if I didn't do the weigh ins I would literally weigh and go tonight. I'm a tired grump and I just wanna work my arse off this week to get a gain off, not be looked at like a naughty school girl that didn't do my homework... xx

Minks I had a c who's attitude changed towards me when I set a target they weren't happy with so kind of know where you are coming with and have sensed some pressure from some of the things you have posted that your c has said etc
The cynical side of me thinks that we do most of the weight loss ourselves and support of minis and c's like the success of members ultimately for the success of their group but hopefully there is more to it for most of them!
It might be hard for you to lose those few more lbs IF you still want to but you are more than capable of it it just might take longer than you or your c want but what is the hurry? As you say you need to live your life and look fab already doing so so plenty of time!
Hugs hun and there's no need for you to have to defend yourself after what sounds like a great weekend xx

Bloody hell, that is pressure. The Dort had just changed her target and upped it by 7lbs. She has decided she only wants to lose another 2lbs and that is it for her. She set her original target trying to lose exactly 2 stone, but her body just doesn't want to do it.
We either have C who just don't care (mine) and those like yours who want to share in your glory. It is not about them. You look great and as long as you feel great, then maybe it is time to revise your target.

Hey Minks
I think your C is being really really unfair - she is far too pushy. Yes, she only means well but to show disappointment and to lump that much pressure on you - you have to wonder is she doing this because she wants you to hit your target OR because she wants to be the one who gets the plaudits for being a Super C and having the best class. Its probably a mixture of the two. But if she is doing this for you ultimately, then she needs to realise that you are only human and not to put the pressure on. It makes you feel guilty when you don't stick to plan. You shouldn't feel guilty for having a weekend off. Its human and its normal.
For her to miss you out of IT is terrible, what are you not part of the team if you gain? Not nice at all, its like you sitting on the naughty step or something.
You do this thing in your own way under your own steam, that is all you can do. Don't feel pressure from her, you shouldn't feel pressure from anyone. You have done so so amazingly well over the last couple of years. She should be proud no matter what, like we all are and like you oughta be.
What would she say if you did re-set your target to 11?

I do want to lose it because I want to be able to say I lost 50% of my body weight! But its just really hard with social life being busy because I do like to let my hair down and enjoy myself!
I totally agree with the fact that its us that do it and I have far more support from here than group. For instance last week when I lost 2.5lbs I was dead chuffed and said wow,4.5 to hit my 10 stone! And a woman in the queue said "well you aren't going to do that by next week are you?" Not, well done or anything nice, not that I expect a round of applause but jeez! Where's the support?? I'm half tempted to throw a spanner in the works tonight and confuse everyone by feigning shock and saying I done nothing different this week!! Xxx
Dorts right to change her target if thats what she wants to do and feels comfortable with it. Good on her!
I'll get there, I just don't like the disappointment I get from my C if (like I said) I don't 'perform'
My best friend, mum, work colleagues and various other friends have told me to target now as they think I'm done and it does make me wonder if I should but then again I want to get to as low as I can, even contemplated getting down to 10 stone. My best friend is 5ft 9 and weighs 9.5 stone after losing 4 stone following help/hints/tips from me and being an inch shorter than her makes me want to competitively be lighter than her! Bad I know, but I do. Oh I dunno, I don't like over thinking it because I start to get flustered and annoyed at myself for not being at target - I give myself a hard time for being 'lazy' about it.
Fresh week after tonight, high superfree, crack down on the drinking (I have the wedding thursday and meal/drinks friday eve so will limit on Thursday and already checked menu for friday) and maybe get out for a run again this week. Bloody weight loss, its a b!tch!!! Xx

Hey hun, you are right in everything you have said. I shouldn't feel guilty - I am human!! She isn't even at target herself...
As for the reset of target, I don't know what she would say. I don't know if I can in myself, because then I'd feel like o let myself down? My BMI is fantastic and I'm obviously much slimmer and I'm far more active and have changed enormously BUT could I do it? I don't think I can. I've got it in my head and have done for a long time that thats what I want to achieve. I just shouldn't have the pressure to have done it by like... last week!
I'm rambling... sorry!! Xx

You are not rambling, you are right - If you have set yourself that goal, then darn well do it! But do it at your own pace, not hers or anyone else's. You are healthy you are active, but if you want to jump that last hurdle then go for it, but don't let anyone push you - AND SHE ISN'T AT TARGET HERSELF! Maybe you should question her week and why she hasn't lost weight - maybe you should show your disappointment at her - NO? That's right - because you wouldn't do that to another person - its cruel and unnecessary.
Ooh I feel angry myself now, let me come to your class, I will put her hat on straight and tell her whats what! Cor if I went to her class I would be a huge disappointment to her - nigh on all my weekends are filled with naughtiness!

And it's not a race, it's ok to have a few ups and downs along the way. Sometimes it's really hard to have 2 really good weeks on the trot. It's your target and needs to be one you're comfortable with and find easy to maintain.
You need support from your group and c, those last few pounds can be notoriously difficult, they shouldn't be making you feel like that. Xx

I feel a bit like this with work. I go in on a Thursday morning and everyone asks how I did and if I've gained, after a night off, they are dissappointed! So now every Thursday morning i get a feeling if dread walking into work. I am a little sick of it too, ill get to target in my own time and if I need to have a day off now and again then I will! So know exactly how you feel. It just gets a bit boring because yes you've lost a lot of weight and people expect too much of you x

I'm glad that you can all see my side and why I get so p*ssed off when I gain - its not even the gain its the reaction!! Fooking stoopid. Although like I said, fam n friends are completely cool with it and actually glad that I've kinda maintained/slowly lost this last half a stone hence them not wanting me to lose any more.
I'll do it, I really bloody will, I'll full on have a massive scream of delight when I do! I'm going to put my heart and soul into being the superfree/superspeed queen this week with no syns Wednesday, Saturday - Tuesday. Only syns on thursdsy eve and then friday eve. May sound strict but its the only fair way of doing it to try and keep within syns. So no one here tell me off right!? Xx
