Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

Your Are doing so bleeding well on your diet missy!! Even the stress of work is not knocking you!! I can't wait to find out your losses- stick at it hunny xx

Aw thanks hun, I just wish the scales would behave and show me some 13's!!! I am okay on the diet right now, quite happy just to keep on going, especially as the 5-htp tablets have totally taken away all my cravings!! I love them, they seem to be helping me deal with the stress a bit easier, and they're fab for helping me sleep. Apparently they're a natural alternative to anti-depressants too.

Thanks Lily, I might see if that other book is available on iBooks, I'm all for a bit of self help lol. My shelves are groaning under the weight of fix yourself books lol

sally, i'm 37 and i always worry when i get called in for a 'meeting'. i've just had major bad experiences. my moto is now, always take someone in with you. don't assume. you might need a work partner or union in with you just incase it does go sour. i always worry big time though.

have i missed something....????? where did the -5lbs come from? i'm sure i live in my own little bubble sometimes.

 

[Surfhunny]

Ha ha, as you know I wasn't going to go on the scales on Sunday, but curiosity got the better of me on Saturday morning so I went on and from the previous Sunday I'd lost 5lbs. Pity they haven't moved since though

Lol lol Nikki I said the same too her too about her 5 lbs loss.

Goo sal xx

 

[Surfhunny]

I just sneaked it on the end of my signature because I wasn't meant to be weighing in this week, it was meant to be on the Sunday coming.

Nikki I'm taking the nursing sister with me as she supplies my nurses and we have very similar issues with LM and my list.

I'm always talking to myself so no-one would bat an eyelid lol.

Me, too. And when someone comments on it, I say, "Don't knock talking to yourself, at least you know you'll be understood and the listener cares!"

Congrats on the 5 pound loss. And, Kes gave you good advice. As we say down South (southern USA that is), "Don't go borrowing trouble." In otherwords, you do not know that there is any problem or cause for concern.

I'm starting to get worried now, I've left it a couple of days and not been on the scales but went on this morning and still the same 14st 1lb. I'm actually really upset about it. I really makes me wonder why the hell I'm doing this!! I'm firmly in ketosis, even got a pink on the damn ketostix this morning, I'm body brushing everyday to try and stop water retention, I'm drinking at least 3 litres of water every day then my cups of tea, coffee and coke zero on top of that!! I've even put a new battery in the scales in case they were stuck.

I'm so gutted. I'm never going to fit into my dress and I've got 1 week left :cry: It's not what diet products I'm having because I'm having exactly the same things as last week, I'm doing nothing different!! I haven't even lost inches either, that's stayed exactly the same too. I need to lose another 6lbs or so to get into my dress

 

[Surfhunny]

These are my weight graphs one from 2010 and one from 2011 so far. The 2010 one is quite depressing see if it'll let me add them from my phone....

 

[Surfhunny]

If my weightloss keep going this slowly my projected time to get to goal is sometime in 2012

Hi Sal,

Do your scales show the water to fat ratios? I noticed with mine (okay my friend noticed and told me, then I realised she was right) that my ratios would shift... my water would go up and fat down, then I would have sudden drop in weight and my ratios would reset. So, just wait and see if there isn't a drop soon. Apparently your body holds on to water to replace the fat that is burned... but it can only hold so much water and it has to let it go.

Also, if you are concerned about the dress, as much as you would like to wear it... you could go and scan the sales racks and treat yourself to something that will work now, and maybe could even be adjusted for later. It's a disappointment if you do not get to wear it, but we know that you will eventually.

And, come on is there anyone out there that is sticking to their programme and losing more slowly than I am? However, I did the math... and if I kept losing at my pathetic one pound a week rate, in about two years and ten months I would disappear entirely. I was overweight for 13 years, so that does not seem too bad afterall.

The dress is on, just need to breathe in it now. I hate how massive my shoulders are at this weight, they balance out when I'm in the 12's, but at this weight they look awful!!

 

[cornishkez]

Don't be ridiculous, you look gorgeous. I wish I could 1 leg into that dress!

 

[MinnieMel]

Hi Sal,

You look fab in the dress.
And, as you will need a shawl or little jacket thing for the weather and wedding -- your shoulders will be covered.
But, I do not think they look bad at all. You have quite the hourglass thing going on!

love love love your waist hun. also i really like the dress much more with the little cardi/jacket as it makes the dress standout and your waist look perfect

 

[great things]

p.s...... i saw a beautiful top from a next e-mail and it was with skinny jeans so i've order myself some. not sure if i can pile myself into them though. can't really stand tight stuff, especially as i have excess skin everywhere including my waist/back part and it might lump out. thought it might be nice one evening for disneyland.

Buy Flower Print Kimono Top from the Next UK online shop

here the blue top and black jeans. i must be mad, mind they go up to like a size 22! i would never have considered wearing skinny jeans at a size 22 even now i'm having my doubts and i'm a 12-14!

 

[kimmi1982]

You have a teeny waist- you look amazing hunny!! The little cardi sets it off a treat- stop giving yourself a hard time- you have come so far so be proud of what u have accomplished!! I wish I could get away with something like that!! Xx
