Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

Good morning sweetie, You are just so lovely to me, I totally agree to some degree that I should show it, but cos I only lost not quite 6st of it since joining SW even though I probably lost almost all the other 6+ st following their principles, I feel a bit of a fraud taking the 12st + shiny....but I have just yesterday in fact, patched 2 pics into one before , me at my heaviest, and after me as I am now, into one pic and will be putting that up as my profile pic.....although thinking again about what you've said, I wouldn't be allowed to do that on the actual SW site but this isn't the official site, so I guess I could couldn't I...I'd like to know what everyone else thinks first though
Hope you're having a lovely day :bighug: xxxxxx
 
You don't have to put the shiny up just put a sentence saying start weight and weight now and what you've lost and update it each week :D maybe its me but to me that 5.5 shiny is less than half of it :D YOu truely have lost the weight of a whole person and that to me is so inspirational and I also know it will be to many many others that are struggling :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxx
 
I think you should put the shiney up and celebrate the fact that you've lost all thaat weight. On this site people switch from one diet to another so it doesn't matter. Go for it :D

You make such wonderful sense, was talking to my Kelly on the phone and reading what you and Tilly wrote and she said I totally agree with them Mother (she only calls me Mother when she wants me to take note of her, otherwise I am Mummy, awww so cute at 32 years old or Marjorie, when she's in a sarcastic mood lol) and thinking about it, you're absolutely right ...I wasn't looking at it as being an inspiration as I still find that a little hard to get my head around, but then I thought what would I think or say if I was on someone else's diary and immediately Kally came to mind and I thought :wow: 3lbs and she has lost 100lb, but hang on so have I..and some, in fact I am 30lb away from losing 200lb :eek:, that just never occurred to me how inspirational that would be to someone else....I have to laugh cos as I as writing that I only have to lose another 30lb and I have then lost 200lb I suddenly noticed my mouth was wide open :8855:, so if that will do that to me .......thanks Jackie you have made my day, I feel so bloody amazing right now I could almost :cry: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tilly my love, you are just so bloody clever, I love you and you are absolutely right, I should be celebrating it, as you say people do switch from one to another ...so with that ladies, wave bye bye to my 5.5st shiny :wave_cry: and say hello :D:D:D to my new 12st shiny :woohoo: so now I have 5lb to go to reach my 12.5st shiny :bliss: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx thank you so much my lovely lovely friends :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
I think it matters :D I think people need to see how much you have lost Lily. You are an inspiration losing 5.5 stone but bleddy hell woman you are truely amazing losing over 12 :wow:

I get cross because my starting weight was 17:10 and I put on here 17:4 ie when I started sw from home and thats only 6lb difference :giggle: but you know that 6lb matters to me more than I make out :cry: Its stupid really but thats nearly 1/2 a stone I don't have a shiny for and I don't even go to class lol. So why on earth didnt I just start my stats at 17: 10 I'll never know. So to me to be cheated out of 6 plus stone well, it just insenses me :giggle: xxxxxx
 
Hey hun, well you are entitled to go grab that other 6lb cos you lost that and if it matters to you then you should celebrate it....like you just told me I earned it and I should be showing others that, so go change your stats, it's about time we stood up and said, actually this is what I have done and as Tilly so rightly pointed out, there are loads of people on here who switch from one diet to another and carry their stats with them.
So next time I look at your stats I want to see them as reading 248lb start . That must effect your shiny's too doesn't it? xxxxxxxxxxx
 
Never a truer word said you are an absolute inspiration Lily
you have achieved a staggering weight loss absolutely staggering
be proud..... you should be You Are a Star and very much an inspiration
to us all
12st is an average man hun you have lost an average man WOW WOW WOW

Thank you hun, I know even my own hubby only weighs 10st lol...but because I have always been so huge it's really hard to take in ....I look at that woman ...sorry that mountain of a woman and there's no denying I was and I don't know who she is or how she got to that point but even more so I don't recognise the woman I am now.
Determined, inspirational, a slimming success, all that and more is not who I have ever been and I find it hard even though I can clearly see the evidence myself to recognise it, but with all you lovely lovely friends, and yes you are my friends doesn't matter that we've never met, our paths have crossed for a reason, encouraging me and my own determination and of course being sick of carrying the hitch hikers I know I can get there.... I saw on a diary last night that someone had as their mantra (don't quote me on this lol ) the quickest way to dig your own grave is to carry on eating the wrong food, that was like a huge slap in the face even now.... with me I have a whole series of Light bulb moments, I'm not a stupid person quite the opposite but like most people I need to have things pointed out to me...and this is one of those occasions.
So thank you all again and as from today I am definitely celebrating my entire loss and not just what I have officially lost with SW xxxxxxxxxxxxxx :bighug: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
OMG I just noticed I am just 1.45% away from having lost 40% of my entire body weight :wow: , just another 6.5lbs to go to get to 40% ...amazing even to me lol xxxx
 
Finding it hard to think of something to say as I can't get past the big grin on my face and a few tears too :D

Absolutely love your new (and true!) shiny Lily xxxxxxx
 
:cry: I just cried when I saw your real shiny Lily :D thats made my day.

I did alter my stats Tilly but somehow can't bring myself to add my 2 stone shiny and my 10% I was slightly astounded how much difference the true stats made. ie 10% and 2 stone. I have done it, I did it all myself without going to group but its made me :cry:

Actually in many ways I feel far far far better for doing it. Its something thats bugged me for a while

Lily so proud of you huni xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you lovely Lo, I have to admit I did a few tears too silly me :giggle: xxxx

It's the same colour. See that proves you had to do it :)

Jackie - alter you stats. You can't go round telling other people what to do and then not doing it yourself - that's my job :D

Thanks Tilly, I noticed it was the same colour and thought exactly the same, it's meant to be and was going to say exactly that but then got all self concious again, so thank you for voicing what I was thinking :hug99: xxxx

Lily so proud of you huni xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am crying now my lovely twin,:cry: :hug99: thank you so much for bringing that subject up, you're totally right I should claim it, I bloody well earned every lb I lost and every ache in my bones and every ounce of sweat that dripped off of me to get it. :character00116:
And now it's your turn, glad you updated your stats but like me you have earned that 2st shiny so I expect to see it along with your 10% shiny too, like me you bloody well earned it hun every bit of the blood, sweat and tears it took to get it so take it or I'll have to do some :whoopass: or even worse set Tilly on you :giggle: and even i wouldn't mess with the lovely Tilly, Hi Tilly :wave_cry: :sign0168: xxxxx
 
I think I'm turning into a mushy pea instead of a Pod woman, with all my tears lately :8855:
 
aw here you and jackie are making me tear up.

Its amazing how far you've come Lily. Your enthusiasm and determination is more inspiring than you'll ever realise. Next year I expect to see you on the cover of SW telling your amazing story (which we of couse all know since we were lucky enough to go through it with you)

:) xx
 
I agree. You really should be in it Lily. I would rather read about a person thats plodded along and lost 12 stone plus than someone who lost 1.5 stone. I don't mean this funny to people that only had ie 1.5 to lose as we all know what we'd like to be and all deserve recognition but from the magazine story point of view I would find it far more inspiring :bighug: x
 
And I totally Agree lily I told you you are a major inspiration to me ... X i too at my heaviest weighed 22 stone ! I think I have one photo but I also stopped weighing myself and looking in the mirrors so I may change my stats too after reading yours and the lovely jackie .. I was my heaviest two years ago lost some to get to 19 stopped thought I was a twig !!! Me kidding myself lol and something clicked this time now I don't follow sw but I do take tips from yourself and other people on here .
I am aiming to be 14 something by Xmas will have a break in that I mean a weeks rest from the gym and have a little of what I fancy and then 2012 is the year this butterfly will emerge next to yours and the other lovely ladies on here !!
X x sending a big hug and thank you to one very big inspiration please enter for sw. Mags success story! !

Too bl**dy right Lily, you earned every single pound on that sticker.

You bmi is almost under 40. You know Lily, when you adopt you have to get your bmi under 40 because statistically you should live for at least the next 20 years as bmi 40 is the tipping point for weight related medical conditions. That's a huge thing to be so proud of Lily. Yor bmi was up near the 70's and now it's almost in the 30's what a massive massive achievement you have undoubtedly increased not just the quality of your life but the quantity too. What better gift to give yourself and family xxx

Thank you so much Aaliyah, you were one of the first people along with Roziee to welcome me to mini's and you don't know how good that made me feel, because for the 1st time in my life I felt someone was interested in what I had to say. I will be on that cover, not sure it will be next year as they don't run the story that often the year you lose it cos it would look daft if a year later you'd put it all back on, but I will be there one day and you my lovely ladies will be sharing my story as my inspirations and my mentors and each and everyone of you should be there telling your story too..we all have a story and I have read so many heart warming stories to keep my determination topped up to the max ...so thank you too :hug99: xxxxx

I agree. You really should be in it Lily. I would rather read about a person thats plodded along and lost 12 stone plus than someone who lost 1.5 stone.

Thank you my lovely twin, I promise you one day I will be in the mag as I said up there ^^^^. I am like you, great my Kirsty has lost a stone and half when she reaches target and that's awesome, but Kelly will have lost 6 stone and I would rather read her story (just examples) and others that have really had to work at losing masses. It gives me hope when I see those stories in the magazines as for the others I do tend to skim over them a bit sorry to say and as I said to Aaliyah you will all be there as part of my story (as long as they print word for word what I say, mind I can go on a bit can't I :giggle:)xxxxxxx

And I totally Agree lily I told you you are a major inspiration to me ... X i too at my heaviest weighed 22 stone !

Hey Katie, oh definitely change your stats if you haven't already my love, as I said to Jackie and she made me realise, we earned those stats and shiny's so it's about time we started to claim what is ours xxxx
I am sure you'll reach your goal by xmas hun, you seem determined enough...won't it be lovely to have all our new NOW pics up in 2012, I can't wait to see us all :bighug: thank you again for your lovely comments and support xxxxxx

Omg Lucia I have cried on and off all day, but that really made me well up, thank you so much for your lovely comments, like I said earlier I am not a stupid person, far from it, but sometimes just don't see the wood for the trees, I never looked at it like that until you pointed it out and yes my BMI was dangerously high, but I never really gave much thought to how my weight had affected that and what a gift that was, so thank you for that hunni :hug99: thank you xxxxxxxxxxx Oh and welcome to my diary hun, good to see you here xxxxxxx

I am now officially blubbing guys, I don't do too much slushy but you guys are the best and iI really luv you all, you should all take some of the credit too as you are the ones that encourage me and keep me going, yes so do the girls in my class but that's 1 day a week, you lot are here 7 days a week 24 hours, cos I can rant and ramble and you always come back and give me help and support so :bighug: to each and every one of you xxxxxxx
