Operation: Wedding dress!

Skinny Minnie :D

Well done sexy bum xxx
 
Hello!

Have just read your diary from start to finish and I'm inspired!! You have done so well and come so far!! I love your attitude to the roadbumps along the way, dusting it off and getting on with it - I'm also guessing it helps to stay active on here even when things aren't going so well (I previously went AWOL when I'd been bad :().

I'll be keeping an eye on your progress as we have similar goals. Off to read BB's diary now... :D

Haha aww bless you, seems strange reading that on my own diary- only seems a couple of weeks ago that I was writing it on other people's! Thankyou, yes i suppose i have come a long way when i think about it but i still have a long way to go, just can't wait to get to goal now! Yeh this site really does help, I'm always on it! It also helps me to write down how I'm feeling each day- don't think I'd bother if I had to write it in a real diary lol! Were you on exante before then? Oooo I love BB's diary ;) hers and starlight's were my inspiration before starting! Best of luck with your journey then- do you have a diary? xx
 
I did exante before, but only really managed TS 100% for one day and fell off the wagon within the week - wasn't really in the right frame of mind then. However, I'm in the zone now!!! :D :D

Yep, have dusted off my old diary and brought it up to date (link is in my sig). Hope you have a good weekend! :) xx
 
So so close to those 11s :D
 
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO :happy096:

I can't believe you're 12.1!!! That's FANTASTIC!!!! Ahhh I'm so pleased for you, you're doing so well lady and I can't BELIEVE that I've been so piggy and now I'm still 13.13! lol OK, reading your fantastic weight is all the goddamn motivation I've ever needed! I'm not going to let you beat me to goal! LOL! Ahh only joking, but it IS an inspiration and so pleasing. I'm really really happy for you and I bet as I'm writing this, you're now 12!!! How much have you lost then on your first week back 100%??? I'm hoping for 7 off by Saturday but we'll see.
P.S. Sorry for not being on (not that you needed any support by the looks of it!) lol I've been laying turf all weekend and spent most of the time when I wasn't laying turt, eating cake! I've updated my diary so you can learn all the gory details there! :)

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS!!! It made me smile so much when I read it :D :D :D x x x x
 
You better watch your sexy ass, I'm only 10 pounds behind ya now ;) lol

How's your day been? xx
 
Oh god guys, now i feel even more guilty after reading your comments!!!!! I am full of shame to say I am back up to 12.3 :cry:

Basically I had a family christening to go to yesterday and following the service we had a huge BBQ and a help yourself bar!! With the glourious sunshine and feeling a bit proud of my loss this week I just thought bugger it! And to be honest I had such a fab day that it was worth the 2lb gain, i think?:confused: I still have a 5lb loss though so it could be worse, just means those 11's arent quite within reach again!

Anyway back on it today with a vengence and this is it, there are no more excusesas there are no more parties, meals out, family events until September- my goal month! So if I between now and then slip up then please feel free to give me a right good telling off as there really is no more excuses now! Clair and BB, I am off to read your diaries in a min xxx

Anyway back on it today
 
Don't panic hunny, that'll just be food/water weight and I bet it's gone by tomorrow :D
Glad you had a nice time tho xx

Don't beat yourself up - you have absolutely the right attitude in drawing a line under it and getting straight back on plan today. And like MissG said, it'll be water weight and will be off in no time (I doubt very much that you ate/drank the 7000 excess calories required to gain 2lbs). You had a nice day and now you're back on track - done!

You'll see those 11s very soon I'm sure :) x
 
Thanks guys, yeh I just need to move on and forget about it I think. I really don't understand all the water weight stuff to be honest but no way did I eat/drink 7000+ cals! So here's hoping the scales budge in the next few days xx

They will :) you'll see xxx it was only one day x you'll be back on track in no time :D
 
Ahh well done on 5lbs !!!!! You'll be in the 11's next week no sweat!!!! re the weight and water thingy you mentioned, basically, your body for every say for example gram of carbs it has it needs another 20 grams (this is PURELY example and these figures aren't right!!) of water so yes, it'll all be gone tomorrow!!!!
P.S. it might not even be carbs that nees the water but it's SOMETHING that's contained in food! LOL
Well done on today lady! Really pleased and proud of you, you're doing brilliantly! :) So much so that I'm 23lbs behind you! lol Ahhhh now I've depressed myself! lol Oh well, back to it eh!!!! x
 
Ok guys this could be a long one...... I messed up AGAIN... BIGTIME.

Basically Monday was a bad day for me, I was hungover and dreading OH having to work away this week. Cried my eyes out when he left (I know I am a wimp but i hate it!) and spent the rest of the day feeling sorry for myself. So what bright idea did I come up with to make myself feel better?.... Yep you guessed it food. Not just any food, junk food. I went to the local shop and stocked up on crisps galore, chocolate, cheese, coleslaw and baguettes.

I have therefore spent the last two days stuffing my face and I don't even know why. I told myself I deserved this crap as OH was away and I had nothing to look forward to- what a pile of crap! I don't know if this makes me an emotional eater, a stress eater, a comfort eater or a boredom eater but it's just not on.

I know since I started Exante I have had more than a few 'blips' but I enjoyed those blips so it was worth the gain. This however was a full on disgusting binge and I am so ashamed right now.

However I am in the right frame of mind to start again, I'm not drawing anymore lines as I have drawn enough of those to last a lifetime but it is another restart- the last restart. I am so pissed off with myself that I got to 12.1 last Saturday and now I am back up to 12.5 - I know terrible isn't it- such a waste of all my hard work.

I HAVE to do this now and I may just about scrape through to goal on time. I know how lovely and supportive you all are but I really need some tough love right now- all the way through to goal!! which by my count is 60 days and 37lbs eeek! Gonna be tight! But that's good as it means I have no room for manoeuvre anymore!

So signature and ticker have now been edited :( and it's time to start afresh and I'm going to bloody do it this time! Thanks for listening you lovely lot xx
 
Morning you.

Ignore it, crack on, forget it. I did exactly the same last night and was so pissed off with myself that I cried! I think it must just be this stage of Exante. You don't need anyone to give you tough love, you give yourself enough of that as it is!!

This is how it is. At the moment, we are both unhappy, quite a way from goal still and not a lot of time to do it in. We have done SO well and now are taking it for granted and before we know it, if we don't buck our ideas up we'll be back where we started. Do you want that? Because I certainly don't!!!!
I went to bed feeling awful last night and have woken up this morning at the same weight I was yesterday which isn't brilliant considering I need to lose another 2lbs by Saturday. I've even had to change my goal to slightly heavier because I've messed up so much but it's not a failure, it's natural, what you've done is natural and as long as now you crack on and get back to it, you're not going to fail! The ONLY time you need to feel ashamed is if you give up totally which I know you won't do.

COME ON GIRL! Get a grip and you'll be 12st by this time next week!!!!!!! :D x x x x x x x ( and we're nearly half way through. I have 6lbs to go until halfway now after changing the goal, what about you??) x

Wow BB that's exactly what I needed to hear thank you! 7lbs to halfway point for me now! Xx
 
7lbs to your halfway mark...OK so lets just do it then! We're about the same to halfway now I've changed the goal.

The only people stopping us are ourselves! :D x
 
Slap

Right Mrs, you've got till tuesday to prove to me that you can be a good exanter :) and that you can be trusted to be good till I come back from holiday :D or it's gonna cost me a bloody fortune on Internet cafes while I'm away, checking up on you :)
you don't want me getting to goal before you do ya? Lol
Binging is good, makes you realise that yeh you do use food to pick you up but it doesn't always have to be like this, you sound like you've learnt from it tho so it's all good :D

Ok I'm waffling on now! Hehe xx
 
Mmmm cheesy coleslaw baguette with crisps *dribble* SLAP

BAD 14to9!!! BAD BAD BAD!

Seriously though I was in the 11s a few weeks back and this Monday I was 12.9 1/4!!!!! So you aren't as bad as me yet, but sure you don't want to be faffing about with this diet for the next year or so do you? Try and refocus and tell yourself why you want this x
Good luck xx
 
You had better be behaving yourself today Missy! I don't want to see anymore sad 14-9! Only happy 14-9 because she's looking forward to wi because she KNOWS she's gonna lose weight! YAY!!!!! Doing this for 2 days I think changes your outlook because on the first day you don't feel you've achieved anything but by the end of the 2nd day you're on a roll and ready to jump on those scales knowing you won't have to balance in all sorts of ways to show a loss because your loss will be brilliant! :D xx
