Starting my slim and save journey 1st jan 2014 if the pack arrives by then...

[Aaleigha]

I know its hard not to stress I am the master of it believe me
I am also doing the interview rounds so really do understand

but if you are finding it hard do a little meditation (if you need a couple of easy ones send a pm - and I will give you a good one that does work really well for me )

have a great evening

Ok. Breathe. What exactly did you eat? And do you understand why you decide to eat something and not stay on plan? You need to understand whether it was the daily weighing and the scale showing 10.2 for past couple of days that put you off your stride. Understand why and just move on. Don't have anything else today and I definitely think you need to keep away from the scales but it seems to me that it is the number not changing on a daily basis that throws you off kilter. You can;t handle the daily weighing yet you can complete 8 days on plan. You need to focus just on completed days if the scale numbers are triggering stress. Of course as I type I realise that the trigger may be unrelated to the scale and something else that has raised your stress level and triggered you eating something?

Morning Priya,

Draw a line and put yesterday behind you - you sound like you have already. Sounds like you've already plenty on over the weekend to stop you from thinking and stressing yourself too much. My advice would be distraction. And stay away from the scales. I know how you feel, I've been where you are, slipping up because the scales appeared not to move. But they will, they have to, there is no way if you follow the diet that they won't go down.

I know you're desperate to get to your ultimate goal as soon as possible, preferably by last week But perhaps think about setting yourself smaller goals. You're like me, and getting closer to goal, so your losses will be smaller. You can't expect 4-5 lbs every week, one stone per month is an average.

I've split things into half stone goals and when I'm thinking about where I could be in a few weeks time I just think of a pound per week. Anything else is then a bonus and I feel great (so far). You can do this - one day at a time

As for your packs, if your sure you want to go with just the shakes, there is a swap page on the s&s forum, which could save you loosing money by selling and buying packs.

Oh and I've just done day 3 of the squat challenge

 

[pripri121]

Thnku kat will look into the sellin page n yaay day 3 of squars woop woop im on day 9 tfsi strangely lukin forward to them ....tfai goin to also incorparw hip lifts wher ur on ur bk n tis bit like a bkward situp lol frm ur waist fown hehe....ment to wrk ur legs too....omg y is this forsaken weather so horrid ...i kno im impatient bit too impatient think at times even tho ma brain knwz its nt gna disappear overnite lol....i kno ma love handles have gome down a fair bit cz ma size 8-10 thongs dnt dig into ma sides as much bt sit more on the hips whereas before they used to roll down and also dig into love handles causin a 2nd roll of fat...and for a change dnt mind wearin thongs nw as much as beofre cz before used to feel the wedgie much more sori if thts tmi ? btw lol bt needed to rite it down to shoq maaelf hw far i have come.....ma 34g bras r big too bt gna wait bit more before get remeasured n buy new bras i wudnt wna go below dd lol yh ur rite im gna see itn a more positive light....have orderes some ols cheesy pasta ma fave lol tht shud help keep me onn plan lol found some on the fb sellin page hehe....i kno this wrks js need to stik to it thanku hun hope u av a bril day js hope on the day i wvwntually have the guts to weigh maaeld wil b pleasantly suprised seeing the nines gt evrything crossed for tht xxx tbf iv alqyas been a alow looser think the most iv lost was 7lba in first week n all others 2-3 lbs my first eva week i strted this diet lpst 3lbs lol xx

 

[Kira]

Morning Priya hope you have a good day today. Great advice from slimkat. And remember the average stone a month tends to be losses for people who have a considerable amount to lose and my experience has been 10 lb max a month weightloss even when starting at 11st in the past and then about 7lb a month when I had less to lose.

Put the scales away between today and your Sunday weigh in or hold off until mid week even and see how you go.

 

[Slim-Kat]

I'm now holding off weighing until the 1st on June (so a week on Sunday). 9 days 100% on plan. I challenge you to wait with me?

That'll give your body a good start and you might be in the nines. How good would that feel?

Either way, hope you have a good day

[Aaleigha]

my losses are slow I like to use clothes more as a guide so set your self some targets via your clothes
I had a pair of combats that I could not do but (2 inches away from button hole) now I can do them up and sit down in them - I would like them a bit looser before I leave the house in them but they fit
I have a jacket that at the end of last summer was far too tight on the arms today I wore it so inches are coming off

now I want you to think of me as a kitchen roll (most have 70 sheets) and that is what I have to lose
now I will keep one as a control and take no sheets from it at all
the second one I will take 10 sheets from - it looks just like the first one the weight (sheets) gone hardly notice
now the third one I am going to take 20 sheets from - compared to the control there is far more difference
now the fourth on 30 sheets can see a big difference between this one and the control but I can also see a noticeable difference between 20 sheet roll and the thirty sheet roll

now what I am trying to illustrate here is you may not see the difference on the scales but you WILL see a difference in body size and the more you lose the quicker the image will change

you see your scales the doctor might have to BUT no one else needs to know what you weight

if you weighed 12stone and were a size 8 would you be happy I know I would
concentrate on your body

have a look there and use it then dont focus on your weight again focus on YOU

[Aaleigha]

sorry that turned into an essay ^^

 

[Clinquant]

Yes stay calm and don't let yesterday upset you either. It's done and you are still back here giving it your best. The chart is a good idea and you will definitely see faster shrinkage pound for pound now. You'll be fine and it sounds like you are going great guns on the job hunting too.

Evening Priya. Hope you have had a good day and hope you rise to the challenge of not weighing until 1 June. We know you can stick to plan


I am afraid I can't help the jobs applications as it's just not my area I wouldn't know where to start! You seem to be pretty good at finding the roles and so hopefully a case of applying and see how you go at interview. Good luck for the interview on Tuesday. The one thing I would suggest is internet searches on what and what not to put into CV etc but don't copy put into your own words. I think a personal statement written in first person (is my preference I used to get irritated with CV's we received when they were written in the third person though i still considered them it was just my preference).

 

[Clinquant]

I think HR admin is definitely the way to go. you have an obvious interest in HR from your studies so the important thing is to show you are really well organised. What I'd want to see is good organisation and planning skills, using a diary well with reminders etc. Respect for confidentiality. Customer service skills to respond to internal customers - important with employees and with applicants for jobs so they get a good impression of the company. Skills juggling lots of things at the same time - either in a job or from your experience of studying and working at the same time.

Hope that helps a bit.
