Had a major NSV today - I bought my first EVER pair of size ten jeans. I never thought I would get to this point. The good thing is that they aren't even a snug fit, they fit perfectly. So happy I can't believe it.
Hope you are all doing well. Have a fab weekend xxx
Congrats 1987, I have to confess I've had a complete week off plan, and not even a careful off plan, just a complete eat whatever I feel like and don't do anything kind of off plan. Needless to say, the scale was not my friend this morning - up 2lbs but it's completely my own fault. I was ill for a couple of days and off work so didn't get a chance to do shopping so basically ran out of healthy food (fruit and snacks etc).
It's my birthday tomorrow so I'm very frustrated at myself - I aimed to be into the two teens by then and I feel like I just self sabotaged for no reason. However, today is a new day. My fridge and freezer are both fully restocked and bursting at the seams, I had a spring clean in my living room over the weekend - bought and built a sofa too - so its all nice and tidy and organized and just how I want it! Did lots of housework as well, tidy house = tidy mind!
Hope everyone had a good weekend, enjoy your Monday! I hope me and my scale kiss and make up over the week! I'll keep you all informed!
Wow 1987, you must be feeling great about that - and for them to be a perfect fit
Happy Birthday purplekitten7...you will come across days/weeks like last week - they're just life and not something that can or should be avoided. I go with the '80% good and 20% bad ratio' (don't like the word bad but can't think of a more appropriate label) and think that it will all balance out eventually. It's up to us though, to get ourselves back onto the 80% good when we're in the middle of a 20% bad period, and it sounds like you've hauled yourself back into the good zone...! Hope you have a great birthday.
I have just joined the forum, I am 24 and live in Leeds. A few years ago I lost 50lbs, but put it all back on. Now I am focused on losing 100lbs, I walk around 5 miles a day and do interval training on the treadmill every other day. I was eating arund 1200-1400 cals but didn't lose anything in weeks, and was shocked as I am/was doing so much exercise, so now I have upped it to around 1800 and in the last four days I have lost 2 lbs so seems to be working. Looking forward to talking to you all!
Cofa:Congrats to you too! I'm not feeling too bad now after having been out and about a bit, but do you ever notice how being under the weather makes you so so hungry? argh!
Stacey Hi and welcome! Good luck on your journey, 5 miles a day is amazing-I wish I could afford the time to do more walking. Good on you
@ leaves Thank you! Unfortunately I am currently not working, so that's why I have a bit more time than I used to. I tend to get up at around 6/7 and walk in the morning, I love walking in the morning
Argh, I cannot get over this illness and it's driving me mad! I feel like I haven't gotten any better at all, just worse every day What a miserable start to the month!
Any of you girlies got any March targets? I'd love to get into the 10stones for April
I have officially booked a holiday for the 15th April so my target is to look like less of a whale at the beach! I don't want them calling animal rescue!!! haha
In all seriousness I would really really like to be in onderland by then, but I feel like that is a bit unobtainable! I'll settle for being under 15 stone, which is my current mini goal - although at the minute my scale isn't budging at all
I had the goal to lose 25lb by April 15, but I've nearly reached it, so I need to set a new goal.
I think I'd like to get under a 100 kilo just for the round number-ness. Would love to be there by the end of march, but if not - then 15 April will do.
I think I need to set some fitness goals as well.
Unfortunately I'm off to A&E today as the rugby club physio thinks I may have broken my foot and advised me to get it x-rayed. It's probably just a leettle teeny break, but I'm dreading a cast as without exercise I get really depressed and fat. And I've been doing so well... Wish me luck - both in being seen speedily and getting a good diagnosis.
Hi all, good luck with your goals and hope you manage to shake the illness, Leaves. I'd like to be early/mid 70s (being deliberately vague!) by the end of March, and as I seem to be losing a pound a week, then that should be doable.
Another pound gone this week. I know it's a sensible rate to lose at, but half of me wants bigger losses, whereas the other half recognises this is real life and if I want to enjoy food appropriately, then this is a good rate of loss considering the wine, the garlic bread, the pie and the huge portion of trifle I consumed this weekend. If I cut all that out, I might lose more, but I think it's better to have a balance in life...
And meant to say, good luck AlmostMe...fingers crossed for no cast...
Foot not broken!!! I have to rest and ice it as it is mangled. But I should be able to play on Sunday - and I reckon I can swim and so forth (maybe spin?) til then. But I'm not going to do any more non-game running for 2 weeks
I can't believe it.
