From the pics you look curvy, not lardy, you're not 'lumpy' at all just *does hour glass woman shape with hands* - you got a great shape! The outfit looks great, even if you're not showing the skin in the middle it looks like it's supposed to look like that

I think you should stop buying size 8 clothes for now and get 10s for the interim as it's depressing not fitting into goal clothes when you're not at goal yet...baby steps

re. job...ooh job offer sounds interesting....do you really have to reimburse training costs on your current job? Sounds bit weird...you're a clever girl with 2 degrees, you don't want to be settling in a dead end job when you can go wow the legal profession OBJECTION!! (I'd just go around the office saying that haha)

Maybe have a chat with your Dad see what he thinks, one thing I've finally realised aged 35 is that the advice my parents gave me was good even though I ignored it all then regretted it haha. Bless them. Should have listened to my Dad when he said my first husband was a 'dipstick' the first time he met him haha!! (imagine that in an Italian accent...'...e's a deepsteek') wuv my Daddy

 

[Lou_G]

did you try on the dress?...

 

[Kira]

Morning Priya!

I agree with Lou. You do not look lady at all!
On job front go ahead and see if the agency can get you and interview with Irwin Mitchell and then take it from there.

 

[Kira]

Whoops! meant to say you do not look lardy! Defo look like a lady though!!

sorry multi tasking this morning! On job front it will look good on your cv and I don't mean to put you off it will be volume calls (most likely for debt collection I would think from you have explained) but nevertheless will be great experience and will look great on your cv.

let us know how you get on. I'm sure you'll breeze through the interview process!

on diet front you are doing great. Yes it seems slow and you want it faster but remind yourself if you had been eating what you would have but for the diet would you weigh the same or more? The diet plan is helping you think long term about choices and how to maintain a certain weight too. After all you don't want to be doing SnS by the time your my age! Believe me you don't! You should be having fun!

[Kira]

You are gorgeous and you will look gorgeous at the weekend. Your ex is an idiot if he doesn't see that when he sees you at weekend. Make sure you have a good time and don't be looking over your shoulder for the ex..... Enjoy your precious time.

You will start seeing losses in weight and inches soon sometimes vlcd results can take longer for some than others and even I've experienced that and sadly I've done it several times over the years! Do it this time and never again! I'm certainly hoping that this attempt is my last!

[slim_and_happy]

Kid! Stop hating on yourself so much! You look great. You have a lovely womanly figure and you def don't look lardy! I agree with Lou re buying size 8's. Something tells me you can be an impatient so and so sometimes
Just take it easy on yourself and stick to the plan. You'll be absolutely fine.
Re the job. Go for it if you don't mind call centre. It'll be a great experience for you.
And well done on hitting the 10's! Wooohooooo! So proud of you!

M x

 

[Kira]

Morning Priya! Great loss this week! Well done! You will be in the 10's easily by next weigh in! Don't forget you are a shortie (like me) and you have lost 18lbs so far (12st 4 to 11 st and a bit) and that is a real chunk of weight almost a stone and half!! You have stuck to your diet even with your planned days off and therefore you have shown restraint and discipline which you need to focus on in the long term which will help you keep weight off. Try not to think of reaching goal and being a size 8 again as a magic which will keep you a size 8 and at goal weight forever. What will keep you there is the discipline and restraint you have shown from 2 January to date. If I had exerted bit more of the effort you have put in I would be 18lbs less than I am now! (Sorry am I sounding like your mum?!)

I just don't want you to spend the rest of your life dieting and on and off diets like I have been over the years. Not so much in my early 20's but mostly from my 30's and I am sure others will get what I am saying.

The point I am trying to make is that it is this crucial next 3-4 weeks that will make a big difference. The next 7-10 lbs will have people commenting. I don't mean to be harsh but for us shorties and with our small frames 11 st is still very overweight so the initial loss of 18lbs may not look like such a loss. However, the next 18lbs will make a big difference. Look ahead, and even further ahead beyond goal try and let that be your focus - maintenance so you can go have have fun and pull a few gorgeous hunks without even batting an eyelid! x

 

[Tamzy1989]

Wooop wooop!! In the 10s. Whatever u eat on saturday will come back off really quick as its water weight. Could u not stick to coke zero instead of alco? I understand u dont want to ruin this after waitin so long xxx

That's fantastic. Shows that the real basic stuff works well for you. If you don't weigh on Sunday but get back to it straight away you'll definitely be firmly in the tens next week. Like Kira said you will see a much bigger difference for every pound you lose now. Maybe measure now and after the weekend so you can see that you haven't actually gained inches.

Meant to say about the job stuff. I would say go to the interview if you get one. Ask plenty of questions and make sure you really understand what the job is. Find out exactly what you'd have to pay back if you left the job now and then make an informed decision. And Irwin Mitchell support the charity I work for and they have offices country wide so maybe longer term opportunities.
