Operation: Wedding dress!

[Bananadrama]

Aww my OH is away tonight too and not back until late tomorrow evening. Don't be down about it sweet...just think, by the time we see them again, we'll probs be a pound down!

9.5lbs to go until my halfway mark. OMG I needed to lose 7st at christmas, now I only need to lose 3st 12lbs!!! I can't believe I was 17st in December! How the HELL did I carry that about?!?! lol

Funny isn't it how now, when we pick, we're not hungry!!! Even if I have a sarnie now it fills me up which is FAB because I think now it means I can enjoy food without feeling the need to gorge on it!!! I'M NORMAL!!! lol

How did you feel after your meal on Sunday? x

 

[Skinniminx]

He's back this afternoon woohoo! And your were right I am now 12.8 lol! Feel like crap though- my own fault for allowing myself to get out of ketosis! Wow you were 17 stone at Christmas! You have come such a long way BB! hope your feeling very proud! At my heaviest I was 16 stone just before getting pregnant with my second and when I had him I somehow dropped to 15 stone?! Lost the 1 stone through healthy eating to take me to 14 (but that took months!) and lost 1 stone 6lbs in just over 4 weeks on Exante! Wow love this diet! I know what you mean about letting yourself get that big, I feel the same now although at the time I just blocked it out and kept eating! So glad I found minimins as it led me to Exante! No going back now xx

Hey you well done on your loss this week! You are sailing through aren't you! You will be at goal in no time! I'm the same I can never just have a quick look on here, I am always on it for ages! Good luck on the job front, what sort are you applying for? xx

 

[slinkybride2be]

On week 5 now and lost 1st 6lbs so thought I would take some measurements today and I have lost;

-3cms off my arms
-6cm off my chest
-8cm off my stomach
-4cm off my hips
-9cm off my thighs!!
-5cm off my calves

So it really does pay to measure! Although I can see the loss on the scales and numerous people have commented on my weight loss, I just couldn't see it myself when looking in the mirror or by comparing photos! So the tape measure is my new best friend and has given me a real boost whilst trying to get back in ketosis after my very naughty weekend! x

Same as that me'dear!......if I hadn't found minimins I would never have heard of exante! I think it'll always be a part of my life now. When I don't do it I actually miss my shakes and bars! lol I know that's quite sad but it's also pretty good.
Aww YAY@ur hubby being back this afternoon! I think mine is coming home early too as last night Izzy just wouldn't go to sleep...3 hours I was up there with her, I was in tears, she was in tears, I was getting angry so had to let her cry whilst I took 5...went back in, picked her up and she was sick all over me! Ended up getting her in my bed and watching over the hedge wither her untilshe fell asleep!! She's always a nightmare when Daddy is away.

Anyway, hope you have a F.A.B. day today lady and well done on your 1lb off!!!! Wohooooo 9lbs to go until the 11's!!!!!!! x x xx

Aww sorry you had a rubbish night with your Lo, if it's any consolation I had a not so good night with my youngest also and he ended up in my bed too! Ha how weird is this! I didn't mind though as I got to snuggle up to someone whilst OH was away! He has also been a little monster whilst his Daddy has been absent, which is strange as I have always thought he was a Mummy's boy! Hope your OH does come home today and you can catch up on some much needed rest xx

Hey you well done on your loss this week! You are sailing through aren't you! You will be at goal in no time! I'm the same I can never just have a quick look on here, I am always on it for ages! Good luck on the job front, what sort are you applying for? xx

Aw thanks your doing good too .... we will get there it is hard (I'm still having one meal during the weekends (Fri/Sat/Sun)the usual chicken/fish with veg and no carbs. If I carry on losing 2lb a week I'll be dead chuffed with that I think thats what spurs me on for the beginning of the week ... sad! Job front looking for office work ... legal secretary/secretary or even admin. Anything at the moment! x

Thats brilliant and I bet its really showing that you've lost nearly a stone and half ... I've not measured myself now for about 4 weeks now so think I'm going to do just that! x

 

[slinkybride2be]

Arghhh so pissed off with myself! Keep nibbling at things which then lead to bigger things! I know it's because I need to get back into ketosis but I'm just so hungry and all I can think about is food! I swear it wasn't this difficult when I first started! Think it's because I got away with my naughty weekend and in my head I'm thinking oh well that one thing won't hurt- but deep down I know it will! Need to get back into this else I am going to fail big time! And I swear once o am back in ketosis, I am not coming out of it until goal! I just can't wait to not feel the hunger again and to enjoy my yummy flapjack bar again (toffee one) ad right now it tastes like bird seed! Phew rant over, time to pull myself together!

 

[SammyE]

Water water water! Keep drinking, 80% of hunger pains are apparently thirst... (whoever said that was probably lying tho... because I feel ruddy starving at times! haha)

For me it is sooo much harder to get back into it after a restart but after my xmas break, ive had 3 restarts and 3 falling off the wagon.. back for my final restart.. fed up of gaining and losing the same pounds time after time... I got down to 11 and a half stone... now back up to 12 stone 2, just remind yourself how amazing it feels when you see the scales go down, how that makes you feel for the rest of the day... does nibbling food make you feel like that? Im guessing no... you don't want to be in the same place I am in 6 months and having to re lose pounds you have already lost!

You can do it!

 

[DustQueen]

It is harder to restart than start because you think you can get away with more you will get there just keep trying best of luck!

Right lady, you'd better get a grip!!! You're NOT going to fail, you're not even doing anything wrong! Don't look at this as a restart, if you do that, you're telling yourself you failed the first time and you didn't!
I know I probably shouldn't say this but I'm going to tell it like it is for me ok.....Ketosis, I've not been in it ONCE since I started exante and that's no lie and I don't get hungry now because my tummy has shrunk. I very much doubt you're hungry either. I'm not saying you're lying, I think it's more a WANT rather than an actual NEED. Do you sit there and your tummy is rumbling so you think.."oh I'll go and have a crisp" nope I bet you don't...if you we're properly hungry you would just eat something substantial! It's because you've had the weekend off and your body need to reduce the expectations again and also now you're having to battle with yourself about how far you can push it before you don't lose weight sort of thing...I know how you feel because I've been like it more than once as you know!
You're NOT going to fail, you're going to give yourself a slap back into the world of Exante and just get on with it!! I'm watching you Mrs and I'm not going to let Ketosis be your excuse for failing when it absolutely isn't!!!!! Ignore the ketosis thing! I don't even wonder whether I'm in it or not and as I said, I'm not hungry. I think the hunger is part of what your body expects and your tummy expanding as you eat more. PLEASE don't beat yourself up, this is along journey and just because you've eaten, you're still on the journey, you just stopped for a loo break!!! I really hope you're having a better day today and i'll come on later again to check how you're doing x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

 

[slinkybride2be]

Haha so glad iv got you lot! I know I know I was being particularly stupid yesterday! Much much better day today which began by seeing a 12.7 on the scales so my 'picking' can't have done that much damage! Hoping to do two 100% days before weigh in day on Monday and hopefully lose another lb oh dear I have been well and truly told off by BB haha thankyou BB I truly needed it! I agreed with everything you said and I can do this, if not for weight loss but for fear of getting a slap from you! Haha, off to read your diary now... Mum!! x

 

[Bananadrama]

I'm glad you're back And well done on 12.7!!!! I've had a loss this week so far too but I'll keep it a secret until tomorrow

SOOOOO pleased you're back to normal! lol x x x

Grghhhhhh I hate it when you tease me like that!!!! x

 

[Bananadrama]

MUAHAHAHAHA! It's not a great one but it's a loss so I'm happy! well, it WASN'T a great one, it may well be in 13 hours time when I weigh myself though with a bit of luck! Hope you've had a good day x x x

 

[slinkybride2be]

Ok week 5 weigh in is -3lbs. Not the 4 I was hoping for but hey 3lbs is 3lbs! Feeling back in the zone now after last weekend that seemed to slip in to the start of last week also (which would explain the loss I guess!) but I'm back and ready to crack on with TS! also just realised that the next time I see my dad I will be 10 stone something! Hes coming to see me in August and the last time I seen him was April when I was 14 stone! He is a fitness freak and although he never said it I could tell he felt sad that I had got so big! So that's something else to look forward to! So weight today is 12.6, hoping to get to 12.2 this time next week! Bring it on, hope everyone is having a fab day! Off to change my ticker (love that bit!) x

 

[Bananadrama]

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!! Well done you!!! 3lbs is fab!!!!! I can't believe how quickly you've gone from being in the 14's to nearly being in the 11's!!!!!! You're doing brilliantly!!! Hmmmmmm what am I gonna do when you get to target and I'm still here, plodding along on my own! lol
Ahhh so pleased you're back in the zone too, it doesn't take too long ot get there does it and did you find that you missed it when you ate?!?!lol I do whenever I eat! Does you're Dad know you're losing weight or are you keeping it a surprise!!?? Aww he'll be really proud of you

Have a brilliant day skinny!!! x x x

Haha don't worry I'll still be here cheering you on! Anyway by the rate your going girl you will be t goal before me! Your definately going to win our halfway goal by a mile! No kid size pizza and salad for me !! Seriously though iv been thinking that I want to lose a bit more than my target, not because I want to be super slim as this doesn't appeal to me at all but so that I will have a bit of leeway for when I start eating normal food again. As I'm bound to put on a few lbs however healthy it is! So I'm not going to change my target but will see how I feel when I get to target! No my dad doesn't know so will be very shocked I hope! xx
