Yes, it is - such a relief to have a date to get it out and move on with my life! Not to mention I'll actually be able to exercise again

I'm so thrilled and relieved. The contact is initially until March, but I'll be well placed to look around internally for permanent roles of it doesn't get extended (all depends on whether the original post holder stays permanently in her secondment).
What a day!!!! I'm exhausted and elated xxx

Brilliant. Well done. How nice to get the new girl days over with before Christmas and then enjoy the holiday knowing you've got something to go back to. So pleased.

You've hit the nail on the head! It's such a relief to have a position secure before Christmas. I'm really looking forward to Monday, and the chance to familiarise myself with my duties and role
xxNow all I need is to drop a dress size and my weight-i-verse would be complete lol

As far as the diet goes, I feel as if I'm just treading water - which as we all know is no bad thing! I get through my 4 shakes, drink my water and get on with the rest of my life....
I was slightly bummed earlier, but I got over it. I went to try on some Next clothes in their sale.... And while I could do up the size 16 trousers I may have been arrested for indecent exposure if I wore them out of the changing rooms; and the size 20 blazer fit - barely- not what my clothes from the last 2 years are reporting. Ho hum. The size 16 jumper fit really well though. Wait. Is this a conspiracy to drive women slowly mad? I'm apparently a size 17 trouser, size 15 top and a size 20.4 jacket?!? What? You explain it then! How is that even possible?
Well at least I didn't eat. Is it only me, but depressing clothes buying expeditions used to make me stuff my face. Stupid. So...... Onwards..... and Downwards - I will be size 14.2 in no time

Goodness it's quiet on here!.... Folks are definitely sticking to goal, but probably just out having glamorous lives lol.... No matter! I'll just keep rabbiting on and keep the Minimins home fires burning. Although for a few weeks I've noticed SW, Dukan & WW have us Cambridge types beat when it comes to posting on threads! We need to up our collective game lol
So. Nothing major at this end! Still 100% SS - I think this is day 79 but I can't be arsed to check properly I made two decisions that are major (and helpful) for me: (1) I'm no longer worried that I'll fall on my Christmas dinner like an out of control hog at a trough (2) Every time I strip for the bath and I'm just about to step in, I look at myself in the mirror.... Smile at myself and say (yes, out loud!) "Beautiful". No - tinsel fumes have not driven me crazy I'm retraining my brain to see me as slimmer, cuter, healthier and perfect just as I am. Seriously. Try it! After a couple of days when you're dressing or glance at yourself in passing you really like what you see on a subconscious level. And frankly - why not? You think it about everyone else you love.... Don't you love you? I'm learning to
So enough waffling. I'm off to make lunch for the Sunshine Boy..... I hope everyone is having a fulfilling 100% diet day xx

I'm definitely living the glamorous life - just come back in from cleaning my drain!! Really!! That and trying on my whole wardrobe again. I think it burns calories.
I think feeling good about where we are now is a much bigger motivator than being down on ourselves. Reading a great book by Brene Brown at the moment. There's lots of really good stuff in all her work but the big message is 'I am imperfect but I am enough'. She's also a great believer in talking to yourself in the tough moments too.
Have a good day. I'm staying put - the weather is filthy.

3lbs down this week, so I'm 16st 0lbs exactly 
.... the scales haven't moved since Wednesday, but I'm happy with that as I'm on track for my first mini-goal (15st 13lbs by Christmas morning!)

Hi all,
I've been so engrossed in your posts all day- they are brilliant. I just had to comment. You have all done amazingly well and your so motivating for anyone who reads. I started to forget this was a weight loss forum and just looked forward to hearing about your day!
I'm not a re-starter, I'm a first timer
considering the CWP and have a consultation in the new year - why not start now? I'm staying at my parents Over Xmas and I'd have very little power in resisting temptation. Once into the new year I can empty the cupboards, throw away the takeaway menus and lock myself away to get through the hellish first couple of weeks I've read about!! Thankfully I don't have any OH's or children to watch eat every night, let alone prepare their meals-I don't know how you all do it! It truly is inspirational!!
I have 5st to lose so here's to a successful 2014! Filled with water, shakes and a sexier, confident persona
