Woop! Two of us overweight in one week! Love it!
 
Well well, day 37! Came home to a new look and an asos delivery, and I am now the proud owner of several more size 14 dresses :) almost sorted clothes wise for holiday! Just need to find something im vaguely happy with on the swimwear front now - a much bigger challenge, think I will have to make do in the end!

Still got a bit if tummy cramping, but it could be down to stress as well! By the time I get away I'm always hugely stressed out after trying to get all my work tied up before I go, crazy really!

16 days until I leave! Can't wait for a bit of sunshine!
 
I come on mimiminis most nights when I am struggling.5ft 2.5 inches starting weight 11 stone 1.5 lbs. Week 1 loss was 7.5lbs.Decided I really felt better "lighter" 9 stone ideally.Week 2 weigh in should have been Tuesday but due to my grandson being unwell,had to cancel and rearange for tomorrow afternoon.Understand how weighing yourself during the week is disheartening as I keep either not shifting or gaining.Although I have stuck to every aspect like glue...slightly worried for tomorrows weigh in.I think I would be gutted if I dont have a couple of punds weight loss as its so hard...craving toast !!! What keeps me going is seeing all these fab posts.Thanks all

How lovely buying your new clothes for your holiday! I tend to get well stressed as head of a team trying to et everything sorted prior to going on holiday! I am going to Canada for three weeks in May and dreading the lead up work wise! It then takes me quite a few days to chill out on holiday!

Good luck on getting your swim wear sorted! X

I know! I am always the most stressed ever before holiday, and what's worse is we're a man down in our team because of their promotion, another signed off sick for god knows how long, then for the two weeks I'm off there's someone else off each week, leaving a grand total of 2 to do 6 people's work, hence my panic trying not to leave anything :-s but I am relying on others to meet my deadlines (designers), they are also snowed under, the actual deadlines are whilst I'm away so I might not have any choice but to hand stuff over, it's rubbish!! Hey ho, the moment I do leave work on precisely 2 weeks I will switch off and not think about it! I need this holiday!

So in other news, last night I had the weirdest dream, for some reason I was in hospital, and they told me to recover properly I would have to change my diet, they then produced a set of 5 Cambridge products, but not as we know them - I looked at one pack and it had over 300cals, I remember feeling gutted about coming off the diet. Very random.

Today was day 38, I am still so tired, I still put it down to stress. For the first time in ages I just want to eat, don't worry, I won't, but I do keep obsessing over food. It's very clearly an emotional response, which I won't let get the better of me, no way will I let work push me into loosing this momentum!

Bed with a book I think!
 
Thanks ladies for your inspiration day 20 2nd weigh in today and 3lbs lost total of 10.5lbs now.you have kept me going when I want to eat.I come on here and get a bit more motivation.THANK YOU ALL
 
Another stressful day at work, although started with good news of a 1 month deadline extension (yay, don't have to get that huge project done before hols!) ended with bad news - should've just carried on as I had planned as I am now in a sticky situation after listening and acting on the advice of those above me. So angry.

But to take a positive from it all - ordinarily after a week/Friday like this, I would ordinarily diverted via Waitrose on the way home, buy an overly fat and carb laden dinner (think pasta and cheese sauce or pizza), some cake/ice cream/choc maybe, and eat my blues away. Instead, I munched on a choc Cambridge bar washed down with a large bottle of water and read a book about weight loss! My how times change.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still obsessing about food, but since I know in 2 weeks time I can have it, it can wait. Then hopefully I will be so sick of it again after holiday - as per Christmas, that I will be looking forward to coming back on plan!

Feeling quite demotivated at the moment, I'm sure it's probably stress related as well though, but I do feel like nothing is happening. Ok I do fit in a size 14 now, but still I don't think I look any different, and there's certainly no improvement if I try in any swimwear. Desperate to hop on the scales for a little boost, but at the same time avoiding it for fear of the worst!

Gonna get the st tropez out again tomorrow, if I look a little tanned I know I will feel a bit happier.

Hi there, sorry you feel that way, as Theresa suggests its a great idea to start up a diary, this is how I get the most support and encouragement.. I don't always reply here on mine since its not easy on my phone, and I'm mega busy t the moment, so quite often I will come and brain dump (as above) since it really helps me, then gone back later to reply if I can.

A diary is the most helpful thing, I have kept a private blog for about 5 years now where I write things down - basically a diary, but online so Noone can access it, but in the case of weight loss it's much better for it to be an open thing. So absolutely, start a diary, tell us all about yourself and of course we will read and reply Hun! Hope all is going well for you!

Hi Theresa!

Yes thank goodness, my boss told me in a "o, by the way, forgot to mention...." Sort of way and thought I was mental that I was so happy about it, don't think she believed I'd actually been loosing sleep over it!!

Ill be so disappointed when these clothes are too big lol, no pleasing some people, free listing on eBay again this weekend though, so time to let go of the size 18 maxi dresses I thought I might have just been able to get away with :-( oh well, they had too innings! And with all my new clothes I have made sure I bought new look/asos (apart from the primani stuff) since I now know its fairly easy to sell on when I'm down with it -tactical clothes buying, who would've known!

Deffo do the tan! Though I tried getting one done before hols last year and i looked a bit orange, and my boyfriend went mental when he found out I got half naked to get it done - he is of a less liberal cultural background - so currently using st tropez mousse as recommended by a work colleague and actually it's awesome! Quicker, cheaper, and I ended up with no streaks. With the spray tan I ended up with rain drop patterns from running from the salon to my car lol.

Incoming tmi - I did warn you!

What the f is going on in my body - I have no idea!

Last week I didn't "go" for 3 days, then after that I went once a day, then today - well - the opposite (to put it politely!)

I am quite regular with what I have, yes it varies, but it's impossible to vary too much on this diet! Generally in a day I will have porridge/bar/shake or mousse/shake/soup combos or similar, so why the drastic changes? I've been pretty consistent with liquids as well! The only thing I had different recently was green tea yesterday, but I used to drink it all the time before CWP - only stopped cos I thought I was getting headaches from the caffeine, didn't have an issue with it before!

My goodness my tummy is gurgling a Good'n right now!

It could be the green tea - how much did you have? Or could just be a bit of a tummy bug that'd be far worse if you were eating!

Either way, hope it settles down soon. x

Hi scunnered :wavey:

It can be very confusing when you first start posting on a forum but you'll soon get the hang of it. :)

Well done on your 10.5lbs off - that's brilliant! :clap: And yes, definitely start a diary. If you click on this page CD Weight Loss Diaries you'll see that towards the top and near the bottom of the page there's a link to click to post a new thread. If you click it, it'll open up a box and you can write the first post for your thread. :)

And I think you asked about have a weight loss ticker? There's lots of advice here about how to do things Tutorials or see here for a video tutorial about how to set up a ticker http://www.minimins.com/video-tutorials/174449-setting-up-ticker.html

By the way, it's not likes you need, it's posts. You have 7 posts so far - every time you write a post the number goes up one. :)

If you need to know anything more, just shout!
