Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[Surfhunny]

This morning I decided to be brave and weigh myself and the outcome wasn't as horrific as expected. I'm exactly 14st which means I've got exactly 2st to lose in exactly 8 weeks and in the frame of mind I'm in right now I can absolutely do it!! Keep you posted. First goal is to get into the 13's by Wednesday WI.

Well done that's not a lot at all, keep up the good work. X x
How's the weekend going?

 

[Surfhunny]

Over indulged at dads birthday, the BBQ was rained off so mum put on a buffet instead but I passed on the birthday cake I just couldn't face that much chocolate! But tomorrow I'm continuing in all seriousness, I refuse to give up until I'm at 12st!!! And hopefully it won't take the full 8 weeks but if it does I'm ready for it!!!

Tomorrow I've got nothing planned and my cupboards are bare so no temptation in the house. I might wrap up warm and go for a walk along the sea front, blow some cobwebs away! I'm not sure what to do about going back to the gym... I might give it a couple of weeks and see how my losses are, if they're slow I might go back and see if it speeds it up. I'm optimistic my losses will be good though!!!

 

[*Shanny*]

Hi sal yes your losses will be good keep that strong thought with you.

Good luck xx

Last night of the Biggest Loser, I'm gutted I love that programme. oh well another day over, another step closer to target!! I still feel really optimistic and motivated. I hope I can be good tomorrow at work I've got that 21 hour shift ahead of me. I have planned the times when I'm going to have my shakes so that I'm not starving I'm the middle of the night! I don't start until 1pm so I'll have my first shake at 1pm when I get to work, and take it from there, if I need an extra shake I'll have it to avoid eating anything else!!

hi

don't know how some of them loose so much. danny loosing almost 60lb was crazy... it's like a 1lb a day. you couldn't get that on ss even!

my diet it rubbish.

mum out of hospital tomorrow

 

[Surfhunny]

It's bloody amazing isn't it!! I wish I had half their determination!! I keep comparing myself to Amanda cos she was 1lb heavier than I was when I started, she looks fab now!!

 

[great things]

i'm sure you look fab now, much better than when you were larger.

 

[Surfhunny]

Well been to first WI in 5 weeks and my official starting weight is 14st 1lb. I'm a bit annoyed at that though, my scales have always weighed me a lb lighter but that still means I have not lost a single thing since I started back on CD. BUT I can't let that get to me or affect my motivation!

I'm sure I'm going to be able to do this, I'm going to just stick to tetras at work and have my shakes at home, it avoids the hassle at work from busy bodies who have nothing better to do than question my eating habits.

I can do this!!! I have to do this!!!!

 

[great things]

you can do this. i need to get focused but just have a block bout it. can't do cd again til november at the earliest. feel a right lump too.

 

[Surfhunny]

Thanks Nikki at the moment my head is in the right place but I can't help but think I've been Luke this before and it's never lasted more than 4 days I need to do this I can't fail again! It's so hard to get back into the right head space, I'll be glad once I'm definitely back in ketosis, I'll be less hungry and I'll be less tempted to cheat once I'm in the pink. But as every attempt seems to fail at day 3 or 4 so I never quite make it back into the pink but this time WILL get there!!

 

[leeds123]

just do it surfy! no more messing about, you are like me, on the last stone or so. just get past day 4 and you'll sail through!

now i just need to follow my own advice!!

 

[great things]

you two are so funny i think we all need to focus and chant 'we can do this, we can do this'

 

[Surfhunny]

Well now we're into October it means I go on holiday NEXT month woo hoo!! It also means it's a new month on my calendar, each day I make it through 100% I put a smiley face on the calendar and September had more cross faces than smilies so my aim for October is to get 31 smiley faces!! Star charts work for children let's see if it'll work for me!!

 

[*Shanny*]

way to go sal keep drawing them smiley faces and think VEGASSSS.!! X

 

[Surfhunny]

So far so good with the smiley faces!! I've turned down , brownies and lager this weekend woo hoo! Usually the weekend doesn't hold this much temptation for me lol. I'm still avoiding the scales, just check weight on WI day, trying not to obsess about the numbers just letting the diet work it's magic.

I've just been to my friends house and her hubby invited me to stay for dinner, I was soooo tempted cos it smelt so delicious but I said I'd go home for my 'demon brew' as he calls it. I can't believe how strong I was. I've struggled a bit with my water today, partly because I've been out this aft and partly because it's so damn cold!! I'm freezing, which is good because hopefully that means I'm getting into ketosis, I'll do the test tomorrow to see for sure.

 

[Surfhunny]

Watching Half Ton Mum just to help keep focussed and remind myself why I'm doing this!! I will never allow myself to drift up to that huge weight!! Oh my I think she's delusional!!! She's claiming she doesn't eat that much - really hunny really???

It scares me a bit because I'm sure I could quite easily get enormous if I didn't constantly keep a close eye on my weight, it's so much easier to just let go and give up but I'm not going to, I can't!! It's the control freak in me and it's not a bad thing!!

Ha ha I haven't had one of these random thoughts for a while! It scares me how someone my age can get to 64st, it's nothing more than slow suicide.

 

[great things]

it's easy to get huge. you loose site of what you are actually putting in your mouth. scary. my biggest was a size 28 and although i knew i was big i didn't see myself as massive. i was about 22 stone. not in the leagues of 64st but 22 is bad enough. i don't think that you could ever let yourself get that big surf.

post for you in kerry's diary too, from me.

 

[leeds123]

hi surfy, how are things?

nikki - cannot believe you were 22stone!!! OMG. you are so active and fit, what an inspiration you are!

 

[great things]

hi

i was 22 stone in my younger days then dropped by conventional diets over several years until i reached 14st. i discovered the gym when i was a size 22. i lost loads without trying when i went to the states and they found that i was insulin resistant so put on metformin. have pcos.
