When the going gets tough.....the tough get slimmer

Yay for the most fabulous chair in the world!!

Course you can diet and have a life hun, just think a bit harder about food choices and you'll be fine.

Didn't take as much persuasion as i thought............he can be pretty camp tho!

Have woken up feeling better than i thought after the salty/fatty food last night so am taking that as i sign from above not to sabotage myself this weekend. Everything in moderation is my motto for the next 2 days and fingers crossed for a substantial change in the right direction on the scales monday morning xx

 

[betterforever83]

Weighed in day early because of my night out later and the water retention, only to find out all my hard work has made no damn difference !!!!!! ok so i lost the 2lbs i gained last week which is something but i'm sick and tired of seeing 11st 3lb on the scales. I know i'm not making the right choices ALL the time but i'm certainly eating a lot better than before!

Going to reassess my cal limit on MFP and see if that helps. Maybe i'm expecting too big a loss in one week and should just stick to 1lb per week. I'm just so impatient!!!

 

[betterforever83]

Aaaaannnd relax!!!

Just finished work and haven't got to go back until a week tomorrow!!!! Yay!

Not doing much all week but am going to use this time to focus 100% on my eating habits and hopefully set myself up for a successful weeks until we go to Paris

Didn't do too badly at the bbq last night, mostly chicken, lean pork and fish with salad and even managed to say no to the giant cream filled chocolate muffin that was served with dessert. Did have 3 sugary cocktails so i didn't want to risk a sugar overload. Out again tonight but eating at home before i go so as long as i don't let my arm get wisted into drinking too much i'll be grand!!

Come on August..........let's be having yoooooou!! xx

 

[betterforever83]

Happy new month everyone!! i love it!

Been lovely being at home today could quite get used to it and not over eaten at all much to my surprise! in fact i've got enough cals left over to have another small meal later if i get hungry.

Going shopping tomorrow with OH to get a dress for a wedding in 2 weeks....which means lunch out too but feeling confident i will make the right choices. and will hopefully find a dress that makes me feel fabulous cos that never hurts does it??

August is going to be my month xx

 

[betterforever83]

Well another good day so far!
Ate out at lunch time but chose fairly well and stopped eating when i was full plus still have calories left for a small dinner

Also got a new dress for OH's cousin's wedding and am very excited because it's slinky, fitted and very very pretty............just need some fab shoes to go with it

Just trying to drink plenty as i didn't yesterday because i'm off work and lunch was quite salty so feeling dehydrated at the moment xx

 

[Squeezyweezy]

Picture of the slinky, pretty, fitted dress please!!

 

[betterforever83]

ok, ok! not sure if i'm doing this right so bear with me
This SHOULD be the pic from the website....................Yay! it worked even if it's teeny xx

 

[Squeezyweezy]

Wow!!! Very slinky and gorgeous. You're gonna look fab lady!

 

[betterforever83]

Thank you!!! I hope anyway............at least with the help of some industrial strength big pants x

 

[Shazzabir]

[Legomom]

Forget the spanx ladies i fit into the dress just fine!!!! woop! there's even room for my babylons which seems to be a rarity these days, but no unsightly belly lumps so i'm one happy bunny!

Amazing how something as simple as a well made dress can give you such a boost! I almost said to myself 'sod it you look great stop with the worrying about your size', but sadly i don't get to spend a great deal of time in lovely frocks and when i put my jeans and t shirt back on i was reminded why i was doing it

But now the pressure is off and i can lose what i want at a nice steady pace knowing i can go to this wedding feeling confident, which i think is why i being such an impatient ninny and being thrown off track so easily! So a pound a week is fine by me and that will take me to goal of 9st 11lbs by christmas.....................yay!!!!

Sounds like you are doing great! Where did you get the dress from? It is gorgeous!! x

Thanks hun! Doing better now than i was a while ago just gotta keep it up!!
Dress is from Oasis, they've got a most excellent sale on their website at the moment

well it's friday and thats usually the start of my down fall which leads to a sts so am making a pact this week to keep up the good work and keep counting even tho i've got plenty of things on (which is usually an excuse to blow it!!)

Also bout a cheap 2ltr bottle of water which i am making myself drink before i do anything else because i've barely drank any this week because i'm off work, plus it's been really hot AND it's totm so HELLO water retention so not a good look!

going to my nan's for tea tonight and i WILL stop eating when i'm full and WILL NOT let her guilt me into pudding Bless her she thinks i'm wasting away (her eyesights not great!) Then i'm meeting the girls for a beverage or five, but need to make the effort to not go overboard just because i'm not working tomorrow....................i know i'll only regret it! So vodka lime and soda water in a BIG glass with plenty of ice should do the trick

i refrained from the pie by sleeping........ a lot!! but never fear i still lost 2lbs this week!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe vodka is a miracle weight loss drink ??! No?! oh well worth a try

Feeling so happy now as i really thought i'd messed up with my night out but in retrospect i didn't really go over my allowance by a great deal so why would it?

Am going to mum's today for a roast dinner for the first time probably since christmas so am definately looking forward to it. Then back to work tomorrow so gonna make a plan to help deal with the change in routine. Would love another 2lb off next week to take me into the next stone bracket and lowest weight in 3 years but that might be a bit optimistic xx
