Throw away the scales !!!!

[Drisgirl]

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)

[Drisgirl]

Sorry didnt edit -meant on a diet and I reckon I have lost at least 4stone.
I'll tell ya what i have did if you want.

I watched that 'Worlds heaviest man' last night. His new girlfriend was moderately fit and I thought 'whats the point in losing weight' ;-)

[Drisgirl]

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?

[pastafreak]

Well done girl!!!......you must feel great,hun xx :-)

[Drisgirl]

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 !!!!

[Drisgirl]

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 !!!!

How do you all keep on your diets? I am constantly on a diet but keep on giving in after 2 or 3 days.

[lil123]

FANTASTIC Drisgirl !!!! My jeans fit too although the smaller ones I have don't but when I get this last stone off they will
I have been dancing round the house with walkman on and I swear it miles better than doing a one off workout plus it keeps me feeling good plus with being in love ................
Speak soon
take care of you xxxxxx

Hey Dris,

I'm so pleased for you, well done. I have been 'trying' to lose a stone for about the last 3 years.

There is no point in 'trying' you just have to do it.

Splitting up with my bf has started me off, I've now lost 5lb and now I'm on my way.

Best of luck on the last leg (no pun intended!)

BB xx
