Both are gorgeous outfits! Congratulations!

 

[Nefertari]

Thanks guys!

Managed to get my essay done (after going 1,700 words over the word count and having to edit lots out!) so just finishing off the referencing and I can chill for the evening. I didn't even end up having to pull an all-nighter - I felt for sure that I'd have to! I managed to write 4,000 words yesterday somehow, and another 2,700 by midday today so it was done then but needed editing.

Kept my mind off food, that's for sure!!!

That's 60lbs in 14 weeks, over 4st lost, over 20% of my body weight lost, and I'm into the 230s! Next week I'll be in the 16s! So happy!!! :bliss:

Well done!!! Such a major achievement to go down a size in a non-stretch!! I LOVE that feeling - so much better than the numbers on the scales sometimes.

I definitely agree! My head is finally catching up with my body - I've still been feeling like I'm a size 24 but today I feel really slim. Bring on the 18s! X

Doing a final stint of s&s with higher cals to get to final size and really just to de-stress, maintenance been good since November but I really would love to get to a 6. Feeling rough atm so think will raise cals to 1000

Your doing so great hun tick off those goals, your speeding through

Yesterday was terrible - combination of some horrible bad news and PMT meant I came home from uni and had a big cry for about an hour. I'm okay now but got to crack on with work. On the plus side, I picked up the essay I did while I was back home and I got 82%

I feel much more positive today. Yesterday I just felt so low. Just wanted to be with my family.

Realised if I lose 32lbs more, I'm at my lowest ever adult weight so that's my target before coming off S&S now. Can get 7lbs off by Cairo (including this week's WI on Sat) I reckon. Then any gain I have from Cairo plus another 2st in the time I'll be back on the diet after Cairo so that would take me to 35lbs which would put me at 14'7!!! Minuscule!

Got to 14'11 first time I did a VLCD then started gaining it back. So, 14'7 by 27th July (8 weeks after Cairo which would use all my packs) would be amazing. Think we have time off work around then too - going to camp in Snowdonia and climb Snowdon!

I know the weight loss might not work like that but I'm going to get as close as I can!

How is everyone doing? night-owl - are you still about? angie-bum - how's the restart going? Xxx

Sorry to hear you had a bad day
Sadly these happen and a part of life as we know. A good cry usually hits the spot. I wish I could do that. I've realised I'm unable to cry anymore. Maybe because I run out of tears lol
Today is a new day and you've done brilliantly at picking yourself up and looking at the positives. Your goal seems both doable and quite significant. I have never been in the 12's in my adult life so I'm striving for that!
I am sure you will do amazing!
And well done on the essay. Nearly there!

Thanks hun!

I have one more 5,000 word essay due next Friday and then it's just my dissertation which is due in August (I think!).

Good luck on hitting those 12s! Xx

Three weeks today, I'll be on my way to London looking forward to spending the night in a hotel ready for our early morning flight to Cairo the next day!

My winnings from Peacocks just arrived! £71 worth of stuff! Is lush! Is actually a black cap sleeved jersey midi dress, not a skirt like I thought which is ace! All size 16 but it fits me now. Shoes too! Denim jacket fits and I didn't think it would! Brilliant! X

 

[Minerva]

I always think an outfit looks better on than on the hanger - if it fits - show it off!! We're all dying to see, I'm sure

yay for size 16's !!
