You are doing so well losing the lbs and managing to enjoy a night out without drinking/eating! You should feel brilliant on the inside and out! I think you are in for an expensive time..you will need a new wardrobe to go with your new figure!

Aw thanks so much, you are too kind.

I would like to lose 2 stone in the next two months. The holiday is a big thing for me I havent been on a group holiday for so many years and the last time was with my hubby and the kids.

I am rubbish with compliments, my LLC said she loved my boots the other week, my response, aw they are just cheap ones. LOL she told me off and said just smile and say thank you. I wonder if others have the same problem as me with compliments!?!

I know rubbish day today, but did loads so thats good. I am struggling with water too! Next weigh in tomorrow night, I am nervously excited would like to drop 5 to take me under the next stones. I started off with just under 81lb to lose now got 60lb, its amazing how quick it has gone down actually. Whens your WI? x

Thank you so much I am starting to feel good abput myself, its hard when I have hated what i saw in the mirror for so many years. A new wardrobe, I know how exciting, I have already cleared out my wardrobe in readiness for it!! x

Week 5 Day 6

I hate Mondays, even busy ones. The only good thing about Monday is that Biggest Loser is on. I can’t wait to tune in tonight! I do feel a bit of a fraud doing LL with no exercise, when they have to work their butts off. Fair play to them standing on TV with crop tops and lots of flesh on show, they are braver than me! Respect to them!



This week has been a real struggle with the water, I know I have always hated the stuff but at least I managed to drink it. I have taken to forcing 4 litres down but with flavourings, can’t say I am a great lover of them to be honest. Also, oh my goodness do they make me go to the toilet, I wont get anymore graphic than that but it’s not pleasant!

This morning I was thinking about my trip in a few weeks to the races. I did start to look for a dress online, I hate shopping other than online, but I have now decided that I will make good use of one I bought that I couldn’t get into before xmas. Nervously, I tried it on this morning and it fits lovely. Happy days! It’s a nice cerise pink, so I am thinking black accessories and a lovely pink and black fascinator.



One of the lovely ladies on this forum is doing Race for Life, it got me thinking that I had completion of a race for charity on my vision board. It has been on there since last year and I didn’t think I would ever be able to do it with my weight. My knees wouldn’t cope, that’s years of stress from Step aerobics when I was slimmer. To think I used to go to my class in a thong leotard and shiny leggings. Hilarious I sound a right fruit loop pmsl it was fashionable at the time I promise. I would get locked up for it now.

Anyway I digress, I bit the bullet went onto the Race for Life website and decided that’s it I am doing it. It will be an amazing tribute to my grandmother who was very influential in my life and also my mum who fought and won the battle of breast cancer. So I emailed some friends on Facebook and also text my sister to see if any of them wanted to join me. There are about 6 of us so far, we are all dressing up to in the usual fairy wings, tutu and feather boas. I actually bought all of my accessories online last night. In typical me style I didn’t go for the run of the mill tutu, I opted for the burlesque one....get in, how brave am I! I am hoping it will get some use elsewhere

Well nothing much else going on today or tonight so hope all you lovely peeps have had a good day and bring on my WI tomorrow. Its such a relief going to get weighed knowing I wouldn’t have put weight on, it’s got to be impossible to gain if I stick to the plan, right?

Oh don't feel like you're cheating, you're getting it tougher than they are! tehe

Water is becoming a struggle for me, try not to think about it too much. It gets easier i promise! xx

Pink and black, yummy! Sounds lush, you're going to look amazing and you're going to feel so glamourous.


I'm doing the race for life in july. In chelmsford hopefully. Doing it with my nan and mum in memory of my step dad. Hopefully by then i will be able to jog/run it rather than walk. Fingers crossed aye?

Enjoy your tuesday xxx

Yeah, Cass I am good point, I am liking your thought process

Well I am flavouring it today again, just worried about the effects that can have on me, but hey ho!

Pink and black is my favourite, classy but sexy I am really excited, my fairy wings turned up today!!

Well done you on doing race for life, I suspect I will walk most of it but its about raising money not how long it takes me to get round. I am sure you will be able to jog, you are so focused on what you want to achieve normally and will be with this challenge too.

Happy Tuesday to you too chick WI tonight for me, fingers crossed for a decent weightloss! xx

Week 5 - WI day!!

I have had a good week this week, had a number of challenges along the way, but each one makes me more determined to continue with this journey and reach my goal.

I wasnt going to write in my diary until after my weigh in but something amazing just happened and I want to share it. I just tried a size 14 skirt on and it fitted, OMG! is all I can say, to some that might not be such a great achievement but for someone who has consistently piled the weight on year in year out its a huge deal to me. I pulled it up my legs with hesitation, half wondering if I should stop because I might have felt disappointed if it didnt fit, however I decided I needed to see how far away from it I would be....the fact it fitted was such a fantastic feeling, thats two weeks running I have worn a smaller size skirt, size 16 last week and 14 this week. Now I am not silly enough to think that I have lost enough weight to do that over a two week period, its more about the styles, but even so!

I will update again after my WI tonight xx

I feel on top of the world!!!

 

[Gembritney]

thats great news!! xx

Week 6

So it was WI last night and I lost another 3lb, so thats 24lb in 5 weeks, but why do I feel frustrated with how slow it is coming off. Realistically I know I wouldn't have even lasted on any other diet, so why does my tiny brain feel the need to torment me! Its so frustrating, so many others are losing weight more rapidly than me, its not like I havent been totally abstinent becuase I have since I started LLT. I dont know what else to do, I drink at least 4 litres a day, although I do no exercise at the moment. Could this be the reason, I ask myself!?!

Sorry for my moany post, but if anyone can help me with any suggestions to speed it up I would be most grateful x

 

[SunshineCass]

Hey hun! Fantastic news about the size 14 look at you go! As for your dissapointment at the progress of your weight loss. Lock those thoughts away now! 24lb in 5 weeks is amazing! You're losing inches too, so it's leaving you! Seriously hun you're doing fantastic, keep your chin up, those pounds and inches will be gone in no time at all. You've got a lovely pink and black outfit to look forward to wearing soon . If you're concerned about exercise and don't know what to do, you can go for walks? I know that helps me, it's pretty much the only excercise i do. It'll tone your bum & legs too.

Have a loverlyyyyyyyyyyyy Wednesday xxxx

Aw Cass I can always rely on you to cheer me up, although I am not feeling to bad as what you say is right, size 14 skirt yesterday, I am hoping my pink and black outfit turns up today, that will put a smile on my face.

I have decided this week I will try 5 litres of water, maybe my body needs more than I think to be fair I have starved it of fluids for years and my skin is so dry becuse of that, it hasnt started to improve yet so maybe I am still not hydrated enough yet.

I should walk, I have a lovely little poodle called Mozart, that I should make more of an effort to take out and not expect others to do it for me . In fact I am feeling inspired to take him out now!

Hope you have a good day! x

Hun! Don't beat yourself up! 3lb is amazing! You're doing so well! Try not to compare yourself to others. Everyone is going through it differently and losing at their own time!
My advice would be to listen to your body and be patient!
You're in this for long haul and from my experience and other people's experiences I know the weight loss will balance itself out.
Please remember that if you stick to the program 100% you WILL continue losing weight and carry on looking more and more amazing!
Keep your chin up honey! You're doing do well!

Mags I know everything you are saying is right. I just need to remove the crooked thoughts and continue to enjoy the compliments and the fact that clothes are starting to feel better than they did on me.

Thanks for the support, hope you are well xx

Week 6 Day 2

Today has been fine I had a workshop most of the day, so I went prepared with my bar for lunch and a couple of bottles of water to keep me going. It was good to catch up with the wider team as I havent seen most of them since before Christmas. I had a few you look well comments which was nice to hear and best of all no one noticed I didnt join them for lunch because we are the kinda group that go off in all directions when we get a break, to make calls etc so people were dotted around everywhere.

Not long got back so had my third pack and starting to get through some more water now.

I am wondering why I get more sleep than normally but feel so tired, I am putting it down to LL, booked a couple off days off next week to just chill, cant wait! I am also feeling quiteemotional and not for any reason in particular, its strange like an empty feeling, hey-ho! Alls good though so I am not going to worry about it. The weeks seem to fly by on LL. It was funny tody one of my friends asked when i could eat again, I told her I thought it would be end of June, she just pulled a face at me as if to say are you joking! I tried to explain that it doesnt bothering me and the time will fly by...which I know it will. x

Marchlands tonight.....exciting! x

Hi TBSX, i've loved catching up with your diary. Doing Race for Life is an amazing thing. The first one I did it didn't really feel like exercise as i think i spent the whole time laughing. There were a lot of ringers, for some men any excuse to get the sussies on!! Three pounds is amazing. you are consistently hitting the numbers, something i wish i could do.

by the way success is never boring. it inspires others and you should be proud of yourself. the compliment thing is strange though, it's taken me a while to say thank you. I still go red every time. :ashamed0005:

Enjoy your changing shape. it's great when suddenly something doesn't feel right. pants are the things that are doing my head at the moment. might need to go and spend a fortune decking myself out with undies that fit!!

Keep on updating us on your journey.
