& yes I've heard that eating the same foods all the time can hinder your losses as its what your body expects x

Hhhmmmmm think it's a bit of the old hormones from totm sounds like it hun. I am the same at moment...
And as you said your body messed around getting into the 13's and look how you smashed that, I am sure it will show on the scales at some point ... Take another look at the photos you posted and see how fabulous you look

Hiya. I agree with what the others say about looking at your inch losses. I had a couple of weeks of not losing and it was so demoralising I was at the verge of giving up but I'm so glad I never now. Even when it slows down and stops, the inches are still coming off. You've lost an amazing amount and I can't wait till I'm at your stage of the diet, keep
up the brilliant work xx

I just hate the fact I go and workout an it has not affect I feel like I've had terrible weeks in the past where I've eaten crap not worked out and not gained or lost. I feel like my hard work isn't paying off.
The inches were coming off but id say my tummy is bloated this week so I know my clothes are tighter and I'm feeling fatter!
Maybe I am building a bit of muscle at the gym as previously I wasn't doing any weight work and now I am every time I go!
But my gym instructor said I shouldn't aim weight unless I was body building!
I know I've come far which is great I'm pleased with my loss so far but I'm only half way through my journey so it can't stop now you know!
Maybe I should try and spice food up a bit! Hmmm xx

Lol I meant change it up a bit lol! I'm sick of chilli lol!
The reason I don't have it on show is bc when I do Sw my cals are never under so it makes me feel bad! So even though I can be 100% on Sw mfp will say I've had a bad day!xx

Right I've been AWOL for a few days to try and sort my head out bc it's all screwed up!!
Well I'm back feeling positively motivated and raring to go!
I'm now on my 4 week countdown to Florida!
I have wi tomorrow - which will be my beginning/starting weight!
I'm hoping to be almost 13st exactly when I go!
I've tried on a couple of bikinis but my tum is far too wobbly and jiggly for my liking so I will be ensuring I do 100 crunches every day 40 normal 30 focused on each side!
I'll also be making sure I use my lotion each night before bed!
I'm going back to Sw and seeing if a few weeks off of it will boost my losses again!
Tomorrow is a new day a new beginning for a new me! Xx

I had wi last night - which was 3 days following previous wi (as i wi on thur last week) - but i sts so my starting weight on my four week count down to florida is 13.8 - which is fine - ideally id like to loose 8lbs - however id be happy with 6lbs as that would take me to my 4.5stone! However knowing my body that could be an impossibility - so id settle for a firmer tummy which would mean i can wear a bikini!
Its been three weeks since ive managed to wi at my normal sw group - and when i went last night everyone said how i looked like id lost loads of weight and were stunned id had a sts - so i think ill accept the physical changes - i know ive lost inches and i know im shrinking so im trying to take a more positive outlook and not get too dissappointed with the scales!!
I think incorporating weights into my reguime means im not currently dropping the lbs but instead the inches!
This week im back onto slimming world plan (still have some xen so will be taking that too) - and im focused and motivated and hoping for a loss of 2-3lbs this week! fingers crossed!
xx
PS ive just had an online order delivery - my bust is a 36f-g cup and usually that means i have to opt for ugly granny bras - but ive now ordered some girly pretty bras which im chuffed with - its amazing at how underwear can make you feel (even though noone else knows whether its granny style or pretty lol)

Yeah I love them but ATM I'm replacing bras almost on a monthly basis my back an bpobs shrink at different rates and at least the ones I got from new look were in sale at £ 4 each - once I'm more stable I'll invest in some more expensive ones but ATM its a waste of money.
but thanks for the tip!Debenhams have a swimwear sale on ATM but I've gotta wait till nearer he time bc I'm worried in 4 weeks the bras won't fit lol! X
