Wow what a good loss you are steadily coming down and you are right on WW or any other conventional diet you would be losing a1lb a week or almost the same in a month as you are losing in a week. Rock on Exante.

A 3lb lost this week

I am happy with that, still on track for the weekly goals I have set myself as its based on losing 3lb a week. So in 2 weeks thats a loss of 6lb so 8lb to lose1 stone per month- which I hope it averages out to.

Decided I'm going back to weekly weighing- as they say 'a watched pot never boils' and its made me really impatient and a little unsatisfied with my loss knowing I stalled for nearly 5 days! Obviously 3lb is a great loss an could've taken me 3 weeks on WW! I seemed to whizz through the 14's but this little bit of the 13's is being really stubborn!

Skins looking a little better too!

Half term next week yay! Just got to get through 1 day of work and a valentines film night tonight run by the PTA.

Here's to a fantabulous TS day!!

I cant weigh weekly either! I was the same though - my 13s took ages!! Well, seemed ages, they wernt really and neither are yours but you know what we're like! I had that mahoooosive stall didnt i, and started over analysing everything haha. I didnt want to weigh, it peed me off, but it did just shift and now im in the 12s shock horror! You will whizz down hun, it just happens and i dont think anything i did particlarly helped me, its just up to the body i guess and you'll be in the next stone braket within this month!! Maybe even the next week if you get a whoooosh

Well done on 3lbs thats excellent!!! xx

Thanks guys I am pleased it is coming off consistently

So just got back from work (after the film night) and so excited for half term!! I can't wait to have a lie in!! I am cream crackered now though- my bed is calling!

Was mid convo with a parent at the film night tonight when she suddenly just said, 'Your looking great by the way!' How chuffed!! I said aw thanks I still have another 4 stone or so to go and she seemed shocked! Felt amazing that someone thought I didn't have as much as 4 stone to lose still I also noticed today that in the bit of sun we had in the south west today, my shadow was looking slimmer!! Haha.

Have a good evening ladies, going to catch up on your diaries

So glad you had a lovely compliment hun! Enjoy your lie in and half term We're nearly finished ours and go back on Monday xx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Thanks guys It was such a nice compliment and a real boost!

So today I woke up at half 8 and spent the morning watching The Vow in bed while OH went fishing at 5am! Had a shower and for the last couple of hours have been sorting out my clothes and drawers! Such a mission but now have all my clothes organised, a bin full of stuff I don't want and a nice bag to sell on ebay! Its nice to see some of the clothes fit me again! It's funny how I have clothes ranging from size 10 to 22 in my drawers and wardrobe- such a horder! Though will not be keeping any clothes over size 16 from today and as I get smaller willkeep down sizing

Have a great weekend,

WSM xx

Great idea to downsize your wardrobe as you downsize your body. Be nice to spend the money you make on Ebay on nice new clothes.

That is brilliant!!

Iv been wanting to do this. Its really hard though, as iv only recently got really big, so my family all bought me new clothes for my birthday in Nov and at christmas! I hate the thought of getting rid of gifts family have bought. So much easier when its stuff iv bought, id bin the lot!

Will have to be strong and just tell myself someone will get a lot of wear out of them so its not wasted xx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Yeah it was sad to see some of the newer stuff I bought go but it has to be done. I know I am serious and mentally ready for sure now because Im out with the old and no turning back. If I didn;t think I would get slimmer then I would hold on to my bigger clothes so Im in in for the long haul!

After nearly the whole day, I have competely tidied my walk in wardrobe, got drawers full of summer clothes, jumper drawers, to drawers, dress drawers and evn a drawer full of black tights. (Hopefully I'll be able to go bare legged in the end )
My wardrobe was such a state I'm embarrased to say. The thing is, when I have a night out I try on loads of dresses and unhappy with how I look at them, toss them back in without hanging up and never look back in there. It also has become a bit of a dumping ground!

Here is the new and improved wardrobe with plenty of space for some new size 10 clothes

Good for you hun!

Iv spent a small fortune throwing out my fat clothes when iv got skinny, then got fat again and bought new, about 3 times haha! This time iv squeezed myself into my clothes for so long as iv got fatter, that they fitted at nearly 15st and still fit now under 13st haha. I dont think il need to throw anything for a good month yet as nothing hangs off me, but i wont buy anything new until i am size 10 and size 12.

That is going to be my huge reward - a massive spenidng spree skinny clothes shopping just for me eeeek! xx

 

[WannabeSkinnyMinnie13]

Well there will be no more buying fat clothes for you anymore missy!

That shopping trip is going to be heaven! When I was sorting out earlier I was thinking, 'Would I wear you if I was thin?' and a lot of the time I wouldn't- it was because they were floaty, loose, elasticated, had sleeves etc. The thought of just buying what I want not because my arms will show or makes my bum look bigger it really something to motivate me.

I know what you mean about trying everything in your wardrobe looking for the outfit you look good in. Won't it be great to just open the wardrobe and take out anything you fancy knowing you will look great in it and it doesn't need to hide the wobbly bits because there will be no wobbly bits!

[ED.]

That is soooooo true!!! Excellent advise too hun thanks. Im going to ask myself the same things when i sort through mine. My clothes are so ugly, just cover ups! I cover up my ass, arms, everything basically. I cant remember the last time i wore a top that wasnt longer than my butt.

That will be strange to get used to wont it? Tops that are short length and dont even touch the bum - exposing it hehe, sleeveless tops wowee xx

I have been there and thrown out the big clothes only to have to buy them all over again but not this time.
My one regret now is I bought a beautiful top for Christmas that covered a multitude of sins and washes like a ribbon but when I put it on now it just makes me look fat!
Sometimes you just can't win.
