Riestrella Huuuge congrats on the job! So happy for you! AND for reaching the 140s. And for getting to spend more time with your BF You are owning it in the best way right now
epicskyline Well done for beating the 210s, what an achievement to be able to say you can't remember the last time you were that small, good job!
Cheece I agree that dark tights are always a flattering choice, but I think you look great in both pics! Love the shape of your dress and the pattern
sorry to hear your knee is being a pain (literally!) - are there any exercises your doc could tell you to do that would help before you can afford a physio? Hope it gets better for you and have a great time at the wedding!
LeilaJay Wow for losing every week! You're going to reach your goal for sure.
1yr2mkovr I totally know how hard it is to compare yourself to others - but what I see from your post is a lot of positive things. "The girls are all really great people" "I have done well on the achievement front" and "I would really like to go there feeling confident" all strike me as being from a positive person who's got a lot of good things in their life. It's great that you've got a target to use as motivation but remember this challenge is about YOU and how you can feel better about being a healthy happy person. You've got the right attitude, good luck to you achieving YOUR goals!!
swanz Don't be stressed and NEVER be ashamed. We're all here to support, and never to judge. The fact that you're coming back is a really positive step. We all have our off days / weeks / months, but getting back on the wagon and looking forward is the way to succeed. You're losing inches AND probably transferring fat to muscle by working out. I agree with
Rie that maybe you should look at a different nutrition plan to get past this stall - fad diets are almost never a good way to lose weight, particularly when you're working out too. Good luck finding what works for you

GardenBurglar WELCOME!
Hotaruchan The realisation of having an ample bosom should be quite the opposite to feeling like a whale! Whales do not have lovely lady lumps! In all seriousness, it's good that you're wearing the right size now, hopefully you'll appreciate how you can wear clothes that flatter a womanly physique. I have a tendency to over-weigh as well, it's good to take a step back sometimes. Good luck for your weigh-in day!
Well, my weight loss at the beginning of this challenge has gone totally out of the window. I was so proud of myself for getting down to my lowest weight this year in week 6, but then managed to put 10lb on in a month. Aaarrghghh!
I slipped back into my old habits of not bothering to exercise and over-eating all the time. I'm determined to have a bit more control this week to get myself back on track, but I'm really struggling with motivation. I know I need to take things one step at a time, which I find really difficult, as I'm very much an all-or-nothing kind of person. I know it's just a case of moderation, and motivation, it's not rocket science, I just need to have some self control and I know I can actually start losing the weight I've been trying to get rid of for over a year.
I didn't go to the gym today, but I did have a healthy breakfast and lunch. I'll have a couple of beers tonight to watch the VERY EXCITING England vs USA roller derby bout being held in London (I didn't get tickets but they're streaming it online, phew!) And then I'll get up and go to the gym tomorrow. I've written it here now, so I HAVE to do it haha otherwise you're all free to give me a severe telling off!
Gosh what a long post, I'll be quiet now
