This is an upbeat thread !!! I have been on one since Sept last year -I had a long way to go. My target then was to get back into my size 12 jeans -impossible task -never even got nr my knees then. Well tonight I was co-erced into trying them just to see how far i had to go and they slipped on perfectly -I am ecstatic !! So -for all you peeps in the same situ as me -throw away the scales -I have an idea how much i have lost but didnt go down the -'o noooooo I have been really good this week and stayed the same'. Stick in folks and if you maintain your diet you will lose -I reckon at least 4stone and it hasnt been difficult. This isnt a qustion -just motivational for all who have struggled like me -what a great feeling that was? Stick in there (and take Green Tea supplements -I dont believe in quirky diets BUT I swear thay are brilliant and i'm not on commission lol)
I wasnt moderately fit tho -I was unhealthy and looked like a munchkin -thats the difference and i was on HBP tabs cos I was overweight.I was never overweight so it didnt bode well with me I am naturally average.
Anyway this was just to encourage anyone else who were going through the same as me !!
Well done you!!
I am doing one too, although I have kept my scales. They motivate me and kick me up the arse in turn, as required. I have lost 2 stone since the start of the year and 3.5 stone in total. I am just eating 3 sensible meals a day and stopping when full. No snacks except fruit. I am "eating like a normal person".
What did you do?
I feel ace Pasta and u might have just got a call tonight had H not been at home -lol !!!
Scarlet -I eat copious amounts of any friot and greens and have either prwans or chicken as a kinda staple.Loads of water.lost most when I completely gave up alcohol for about 4months but have a wee drink at the weekend now but still stick to the same diet -i enjoy it and i dont ever feel hungry.The weight is still coming off quite well not as rapid but think maybe another stone and thats me - H doesnt want me to lose much more he hates scrawny (like I would ever be that -lol) he is happy with me just now but I guess its more toning up -but I am so busy ATM i am on the go all day.
Good Luck Scarlett -you are doing brilliantly -keep going its so worth it !!!!
OMG -I swear the tyos are because my specs fell off my face the other night -didnt they Pasta - and they broke in 2 in front of my face-welll -i had to put them in to get soldered and get them back tomorrow in the meantime I bought a 2quid pair and i feel as though i am about to go on a black run on a ski-slope -I feel quesy (sp?) without them on but I cant see otherwise lol. Honest injun -you want to see me like Olive off the buses lol !!!!
Don't worry hun-you are maknig perfect sense-----tho you ARE sounding like you are taking lessons from monty-lol!.....i used to be about 3st more than I am now..lost it in two 1 1/2 st lots......and now- if I go up by just 1/2st ,I REALLY FEEL IT.... and that is where i am now....time for the fish and veggies here too-haha x
