Hi surf hunny,

Hope u dont mind me posting, been lurking for a while and always find time to read your diary and white tulips.

You're very honest in what you write. I hope your new plan is going well and those pounds are dropping back off, i know how frustrating it can be tho when you want it so badly but the scales dont seem to budge but keep going, you can do this xx

Thanks Hun, I don't mind at all, the more the merrier. There only seems to be me & Nikki around at the moment.

My weight seems to have settled, it's not going down much but at least it's not going up at the rate it was. I seem to have lost a couple of lbs on the way too. But I'm on the final countdown to Vegas now, cramming in as much exercise as I can in the next couple of days - but the fun starts on Saturday night, we're going out for dinner with friends who are staying behind. And the Monday it's holiday time!!!!

I feel quite disappointed that I haven't succeeded in getting to target, but I think my mental health was really starting to suffer with all the yo yoing so I need a good ling break from SS and SS+. if I need to I'll drop down to 810 when I come back....

Yay kez glad you're still here!! How're you doing?
 
Congratulations on losing a few more pounds, at least ur body is adjusting now.

Don't be too hard on yourself, cambridge is a tough diet to do and u needed to think about ur health and how CD was affecting it. The break to Vegas will do u the world of good, the diet will always be there when you come back if u feel you needed it.

Hope you have a great time xx
 
We're staying at the Mirage. I must admit now it's finally here I feel a tiny bit apprehensive I'm sure I'll love it but I'm scared it'll be very overwhelming. We've got a bit of an itinerary just so we don't miss things but I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to going out drinking so I'm not sure I'll cope with going out at 10.30pm like a couple of days on our plan suggest. Eeeek I'm sure I'll keep up lol. Sooooo excited!!!!

Got 3 days (& Thanksgiving) in New York first, now that I'm really excited about I love love love New York!!!!

I gave in and went back to my old sw class this evening. Felt like going home! Lol

It worked before and I know it is slower, but slower is better than me bouncing up and down on cd.

We were thinking about stopping off at new York on the way to Canada on our honeymoon next year.
 
Re: Operation Showgirl - Fit for Vegas!! The Fear :eek:(

I figured it's time to bring CD to a close for my own sanity if nothing else. I still has a stone and a half to lose ( be over 2st by the time I get back but I've come to the conclusion that CD is not going to get rid of that because if I have a slip up I rebel big time, and undo the hard work. So when I get back from my holidays I think I'm going to have a week on CD to use up the packs I have left and give me a kick start and then I'm going yo join my local SW.

I'm not the kind of person who can do it on their own, I need the weekly pressure of someone weighing me! When I started CD I was determined not yo let my weight issues ruin my 30s like they did my 20s so I need to shift this last couple of st and settle there, back in good eating habits and back to the gym.

I had a crying meltdown on my poor parents earlier in the week because I felt so out of control now that I'm eating again. But my dad is always sensible and told me to enjoy my holidays then focus when I get back - he told me to remember that CD is not the only diet that works, it's just the fastest!!! He reminded me that I've lost weight with SW so I'm going back to SW I can do that I need to.
 
You've done really well on CD so far, and you'll be able to get that extra stone and a half off with SW, no probs :)

Don't worry about Vegas, it's only as boozy as you want it to be. I only drank when I was at the blackjack table as you only have to pay a dollar for a drink. The rest of the time I didn't bother as it's fairly pricey.

I went to the Mirage, it was lovely. If you get chance, go to the Terrace Point Cafe at the Wynn, it's not a buffet breakfast but the food is fabulous.

And make sure you go to the cheesecake factory :)

at the end of the day sally you are not your weight you are you and a diet is a diet. you can loose your weight on any diet it's getting your head into the right space. i find cd the best diet for me as others i will cheat on. i remember ww weigh in for me was thursday and thursday evening i used to 'enjoy' myself then it turned to thur and fri and then the weekend was added etc. i need cd as it's the only diet i can get my head into the zone on on the low plans. it seems like you're better off cd if it's messing with your head. just choose healthy, drink a bit, be merry and work hard at your exercise. i don't think i would have put as much on if i'd not dropped down on my exercise but equally i would have put more on if i'd not done my exercise. just look to eating quality food that will support your exercise from now on. eat like they do on the biggest loser. :)

just remember to be happy in what you do and what you eat and if you have a bad day, then have a good day and move your butt more. :D
 
You're absolutely right Nikki, Im glad you're my voice of reason because sometimes I just get so focussed on my weight I forget I have a life to live. My weight has finally stabilised and yes I have slipped this week, in the count down to going away but never mind.... I will deal with it all when I come back.

I'm all packed (I think) all thats left to do is sort out my hand luggage. My suitcase is suspiciously light =15kgs (ooh thats just under what I have to lose - how weird) This makes me wonder what Ive forgotten but it also means I've got plenty of room for bringing things back.

I can't believe its finally here!!! I know I'm pretty much the same weight as when I started the Operation Showgirl campaign (I'm about 7lbs lighter) but I've leanred a lot and I'm not stopping here, I need to take a different approach thats all.

But anyway, I'm going to try and be a bit sensible while I'm away and not see the 'all you can eat buffet' at the Bellagio as a challenge lol. Thanksgiving dinner next thursday is going to be a heavy one but we'll have walked the length of Manhattan that day so it might balance out a bit.

This is probably my last post for a couple of weeks, so bye for now, be strong everyone, and thanks for being here for me!!! I'll be back soon xxx
 
Mmmmmm Pumpkin Pie can't bloody wait!!!! To make everyone well and truely sick this is my Thanksgiving dinner menu:

Spicy pumpkin soup
Turkey with the trimmings
Pumpkin pie

I will be the size of a house after that, but yum, it's gonna be worth it!
 
pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie are my fav. i'm vegetarian so could leave the turkey!
 
have a top time! you deserve it surfy.
