Nefertari's journey to lose 130lbs

Thanks hun. You're right. I have never managed to continue losing weight in the long term by 'doing my own thing'. I need to get closer to goal before I can think about eating real food again. I'm not ready yet, not by a long shot! Although a friend insisted on treating me for lunch today and I didn't have any packs with me so I had a Tesco tuna nicoise salad and left the potato, tomato and dressing - it was 170kcals for the whole thing and only 8.6g carbs so by taking out the extras, I think I made a very good choice! x

You did make a very good choice :)
 
I'm glad - it shows I can exercise restraint!

Job interview tomorrow :eek: and I have another one on Friday 14th for an even better job! :eek:
 
Job interview went really well - will find out early next week! Really want the second job though - interview next Friday :D It's a job with the uni which would be perfect for while I'm studying for my PhD part time.

Off to work soon. Got to leave at 3 to make sure I get the bus into the city in time to start at 5. Only a 3hr shift but buses etc. make it into a 6hr job! Hopefully won't have to do it much longer anyway if one of these jobs come through! :D

Good luck. Hope you get what you want x
 
Nefertari I dropped by and didn't want to leave without saying well done on your weightloss so far! You've done a great job and I am sure you'll be in the 14's before your hols. Good luck with the jobs too!
 
Got my new order today so it was porridge for brunch - lush! I love it! Going to have a choc shake for mid-afternoon, and then tonight it's two boiled eggs and a lemon bar for evening meal. Delicious!

I'm so pleased that I've got my mojo back - WI day tomorrow, so fingers crossed that I've lost my holiday gain and perhaps a little more! :D

Ooh good luck for the interview
 
Morning! Sounds like you have your mojo back and having been on a binge bender past couple of days dropping by here has helped me feel more motivated to regain some control.

I feel ashamed that I am struggling to those just under a stone when others like you have achieved so much more in losing a larger amount and keep going. So thank you for re-inspiring me and reminding me I actually really like the S&S porridge more than I like real porridge!

Aww thanks hun! I'm glad I've re-inspired you! Xx
 
I lost 7lbs this week so I'm 1lb less than I was when I went to Egypt :bliss:

Also, my OH came home last night and surprised me: he's booked the wedding for our anniversary next year (29th July)! So happy! We've been engaged nearly 7 years but have kept putting it off because we couldn't decide whether to get married here or back home. But it's back home and our honeymoon is going to be a private dahabiya trip down the Nile from Cairo to Aswan. Dream come true!!! :D
 
Aww how lovely is that :) some men really are so sweet! Congratulations on having a wedding date :) xx
 
A whole boat to yourselves :eek: Blimey! Lush! You'll have a fab time!

Edit: Googled it and can see it's just smaller group. It looks like absolute luxury all the same. Are you going to go all the way from Cairo to Aswan by boat -- most go from Luxor? Anyways, it will be a wonderful honeymoon. As you say, a dream come true.

Do you mean it's a smaller group on the boat? We're booking with the guy we used before - it will just be us, him and the crew. No other tourists :D

Travelling from Cairo to Luxor by road then Luxor to Aswan by boat. He sent us the itinerary through last night - AMAZING! Got to start saving the pennies now!
