Ooh I'm hungry tonight!! Had salad for tea and just fancy something a bit more. My dress came today I can get it on but it looks awful I'm not even sure losing weight will improve it but I'm hoping so. It looks gorgeous on the hanger but I just looked huge in it

Trying - very!
Welcome Bronwyn - if you're a slow loser then you've come to the right place.
But I'm about to set a very bad example . . .
I had a loss this week . . . a good loss this week . . . a very very naughty lost this week.
*** wispers - I lost 1.3 kg (2.87 lbs) *** leaving me just 1.4 kg over target (again) so back right at top of range again. Phew
I did try blumin' hard though as I needed to get the extra lbs off that I'd gone over the top of range.
I did 7 red days, virtually no carbs for a whole week, and kept the syns to a sensible amount for the whole week.
And you all know what I use my syns on - and I didn't have any yesterday!!!!
So I'm on the naughty step big time and buying the drinkies for everyone. So shout up.
For you new girlies there are a few rules on the tortoise thread . . . which were devised over time and publish in full in April :8855:
and repeated here for your delight and delectation.
Rules of the Slow Loss Team - aka the Tortoise Club
As we are all slow losers, we tend to lose a pound or less a week.
Whilst this is ideal for you and your body to keep it off for ever, it can get frustrating.
Occasionally though something goes wrong and you actually do lose more than a pound in a week.
This is apt to annoy the club members so some rules were devised.
However, there are only 3 rules in the tortoise club and they are easy to remember.
1. Lose more than a pound in a week and you have to head off to the naughty step and join in the party.
2. Lose more than a pound in 2 consecutive weeks and not only do you have to go to the naughty step but you are given lines to do as well.
3. Lose more than a pound in 3 consecutive weeks and . . . well I've never worked out the penalty as noone has done it yet! :cry:
Occasionally you will also have to buy a round of drinks on the naughty step.
This punishment is inflicted for massive weight losses (i.e. more than 2 lbs in a week) or if you are lucky enough to actually get to target.
It cost me a fortune last November as everyone came over to join in even though they weren't supposed to be there! :8855:
So I suspect it is going to cost me a fortune again for such a massive loss.

Naughty Pom. Well done I'm feeling loads more positive about SW again, I always get the magazines and reading the success stories always seems to put me back in a determined mood, even if it takes me 2 years or even 3, I'll carry on and get there..have a good day everyone. Xx

Where is your dress for? What style is it? I think you've got a great figure Lou so I'm sure it doesn't look as bad as you think!!
I have a holiday planned in a few months & bought a.....bikini (!!!!) as motivation. I love it but can't tell you how bad I look in it. I'm hoping if I throw myself into my workouts I can at least look ok :sigh:

Absolutely!! It sounds lovely, I love one shoulder dresses, my arms just aren't good enough for me to wear them. Heels always improve an outfit, enlongating the legs & all! Sounds like you're having a good day food wise, keep at it

Trying - very!
Lou - photos deffo required and we will be honest with you.
Here you are ladies - this is my graph since I got to interim target on 23rd November.
So I'm up for losing the same 3 bl00dy lbs that I have lost and gained almost 8 times since last November.
Yes . . . I've lost and gained 23½ lbs since 28/11/2011 - as I still weight exactly the same as original target.
The green line was interim taget at 75.8 kg - and the red line my new target at 74.4. The pink one is 3lbs over interim.
So I've been maintaining at interim fairly nicely. But I don't want to maintaina there :cry:

Not brilliant pictures and please ignore the whiteness of my legs. I've had them out in the sun but they just don't tan. I will be fake tanning it on the day lol. I think another 10 pound to a stone would improve it massively what do you think?

Dont look back hun. You can't change where you was you can only do something about where you go from here, you can do this hun- draw a line under it and move onwards and downwards. You've had a superb loss this week after being strict with yourself a few more of these weeks and you'll be well below your target range. C'mon you can do this

I need a bra on with it and to stand up straight lol. It swishes as I walk it feels nice on. It's a summer wedding but it's a giant food fest so I needed something that doesn't cling to me. I think I'm going to change into something else on the night- more shopping yay

Pom - we know it's ridiculously hard to maintain once at target, I know it seems so monotonous to gain/lose the same few lb's but also remember just how far you've come. A lot of SW is trial & error for us, we know we have that extra difficulty holding us back, whether hormone problems or health problems etc. And that's probably true for maintaining too, you have to test things out which means yes, you're bound to gain a good few times (I say "few" lightly!). Just don't forget all the hard work you've put in to get where you are now
you deserve to get to your new target & I hope you do soon

Lol Lisa I can't be wearing no slinky dress that looks good before food but feels uncomfortable after lol. I know at another stone will get me to a 12 cos that's the weight I have got to twice . That last stone really makes the difference to my shape it's weird to me that last stone means the difference between feeling uncomfortable and feeling slim. I have just been on a 2 hour walk I feel like I really want this now, it's too close to give in.
