We went to see Titanic haha

Well official weigh in today and even though I know I was weighing in at 14st 7lbs last week after me disappearing into a haze of carbs and fat at the weekend I didn't record it as a gain, purely because it was probably all water.

Scales not moved much this weekend but I am weighing in at 13st 11lbs/ 193lbs exactly. I am happy with this really considering my gain beforehand.

So -1lb since last weigh in, slow progress but progress none the less. I was so annoyed at my STS all week on the scales before I went off and gorged. I don't know if this week I will see a decent drop but I am hoping for one. My goal this week is to stick 100% again, and get into the 180s, so -4lbs really. Big ask considering the scales have been doing alot of STS recently, but determined to see them fall! My TOTM is majorly late and I feel so bloated, so I am thinking my body may be clinging onto some water. But we will see!

I am really hungry this morning but going to try and just drink water for a bit, I don't like to have my 1st pack before 10 if I can help it.

 

[Loopeylou]

-1 is great and most importantly you faced the gain last week and got back on track. From what I've heard that can be the hardest thing so I think you've done incredibly
I'm a Titanic fan but can't persuade anyone to come watch it hope you enjoyed it xxx

Hey Tara, let's hope that the OH being home permanently now hasn't had another affect in that department .

 

[TaraTeal]

Haha well I'm not pregnant, lol we already tested for that the other day. I think it may have something to do with me having another blip since my bday week off, my body is probably out of sync!

I hope to be weighing in at 189lbs on monday! The day I start my new job!! eeek! Come on -4lbs this week please!!!!

 

[TaraTeal]

193lbs

 

[GEEGEE83]

at 250lbs - 2% would be 5lbs
at 180lbs - 2% is 3.6lbs

Still the same percentage of your body lost but as you get slimmer the scales show a lower amount.

You're doing great and I've really enjoyed following your diary, it's spurring me on for my weight loss journey!

Thanks everyone! I was having a 'my arms look huge' moment before going out today and my mother in law to be took a pic of me to prove me wrong haha I still look at the pic and see my bad bits, but I am starting to feel a bit better about how I am looking now.

Working 9-6.30 tomorrow, so a long day, I am going to wake up early and do a workout before work, really want to get -4lbs this week!!! Hope TOTM arrives soon too, I am never late, it's really strange for me!

 

[norwegian girl]

Wow you look fantastic in the photo and what fabby long legs. Keep at it we are a out the same point and I just want to lose one more pound then I am officially overweight. I am buying cheap primarni clothes and asda jeans, it keeps me going to buy cheapo in smaller sizes. Good luck this week on the 4 lb loss, everything crossed for you x

[TaraTeal]

Thanks ladies! Looking back I only lost 5lbs in the last 4 weeks, but I did have a week off nearly and then a STS followed by a massive binge weekend!

We are short staffed today so I am holding the fort! It's been hectic but quietend down now thank god. I didn't get on the scales today and won't until monday, I really don't want to weigh in until then. Really hope for a decent loss this week!!! xx

Hi,

Thanks! You are right about the % of bodyweight etc. So even though losses seem smaller on the scales they aren't % wise. I liek to have a read of peoples diaries too, this is the reason I even started S&S in the first place, I was reading a womans diary and felt inspired by it! x

 

[BordersGirl]

Looking great Tara! Really slim legs now hun. Keep it up, you're doing fab xx

 

[TaraTeal]

Thanks BG, are you still on your break or back to it? Hope you enjoyed it!! xx
