[pripri121]

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

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

Lool naaww kira u dnt sound like me mum at all me mum wudv been ten times worse haha....bt yh hate being short sumtimes lol...11 stone is very overweight i agree wit u there lool...i am hopin will succesffully will lose the 18 lbs either wrde end of march or beginning of april lol n hpe to God its noticeable or else will sit down n cry haha....hmm dno abt the pullin kira lol dnt av much. Luck in tht department ima normally friendzoned with most of then ????lmaoo xx

 

[pripri121]

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 Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Tht is a very very hard decision to mke bt i am going to have the bare minimum n ima prbz nt gna need lots down me to get me on a level tbh lol wt with nt havin drank proper in ages lol and havin lost bit of wieght lol so hpefully wont do much damage see wt apens nx subday xx

 

[pripri121]

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.

Heyy Clin yh tis a waitin game to hear bk frm them in regards to interviews nw lol...i rlei rlei hpe clin i see a diff lol with further losses...yh gd point still need to measure since like the first beginning time i meausred lol im scared of it haha....oh reli yh iv erd tht its a reli gd company to have on the cv for future n they do have career progression opportunities long the way thnak u for the advice guys much appreciated wudnt have come this far without u guys so thank u for tht even tho i am a impatient n grumblin so n so haha xxx

I make my green tea first thing in the morning before anything and while I sort myself out it cools down enough for me to gulp down. Also i didnt like green tea much either until i realised i was leaving the tea bag in too long as it says only 1-2 mins on the pack and since i have been timing it its a lot more pleasant x

 

[pripri121]

Aw thnku for the tip hun will defo follow it ahh rite i thrt the longer u left it to soak the more effective it wud b hmm lol guess not haha...wont leave it in for as long then hehe hpe ur well hun mwaahz

 

[Lou_G]

ooh yeah green tea is a bit harsh if you leave the bag in too long...

Kira is sooo right, these next 18lbs are going to make the absolute world of difference - all of a sudden people are going to go 'wow you've lost weight!!' because as you get smaller each lb is a larger % of your remaining weight You're going to nail it

You've had a night off before on this plan and you got straight back on it, and look at you still going strong - you can do it again. Enjoy your night out have a great time, don't weigh on Sunday and by next Sunday you'll be back in those 10s I promise

Then by Easter you should be comfortably in the 9s

OMG weather shocking here this morning! Must be pants 'oop north' haha! xxxx

 

[pripri121]

Morning Priya. If you can't avoid having the Chinese at all my suggestion is have anything that isn't obviously carbs. Spring rolls, pancakes, prawn crackers, rice etc. Stick to the meat such as duck, ribs prawns and at worst if you have any carbs have only rice as it will be boiled not fried like spring rolls for example. There may well be hidden carbs even without the obviously carby foods hence my suggestion. You could also have a little of the veg too? If you can at all I would avoid the alcohol (sounding more like your mum in this post? Guess I'm getting there!) if you can.

I suggest this is because you are er! impatient. If you want to lose this weight really quickly you need to stick to it without any carbs at all as it will give you water weight gain and you will get down about it. I just want you to be careful and mindful about what you choose to eat because you have come so far. 53/54 days on SnS and in another few weeks you will be closer to goal. It is fine to go off plan if you can get right back on like you did last time but it can sometimes get harder so just be mentally prepared to overcome any wavers. You've done it before and can do it again. x

Lou sun is shining up north! Yay! Certainly much nicer than yesterday.

 

[Lou_G]

Sun has peeked his head out down here too now yay! Already thinking about flip flops I love them

Love the South Coast especially when sun is out! Lou you are doing great! I see you are now blasting fresh fat! That is very exciting! You're almost half way there! Very close indeed!

[Clinquant]

You're sounding really positive. Have a great time and just keep the portions and the carbs under control. Just really enjoy the bits that you do have knowing that you are going to be back on plan next week. You won't be able to eat too much anyway. You're fitting in 10s when you started at 12-14s that is pretty good in two months.

 

[Kira]

Lovely to read a happy and positive post Priya! You'll be absolutely fine and enjoy every minute on Saturday! You'll be looking gorgeous and turning heads!
