Five weeks, three days and counting

[Earsareconstantlyringing]

Hi all,

I have a big works thing in May which is five weeks and three days away. I had great plans of losing a heap of weight beforehand and despite my best-laid plans, it's just not happened. While I'm there, I have a relatively high-profile role and last year I felt awful. This year, I want to feel confident and know that I'm more comfortable in my own skin, let alone in some lovely clothes.

So, here I am. I've followed a low/no carb diet before and lost a tonne of weight so desperate times, desperate measures. I've stocked up today on plenty of great food, so I'm raring to go.

I have a lot of weight to lose - around 4st to get to where I'd like to be in an ideal world - but I know just losing a stone or so would make the world of difference to me.

Anyone else with a deadline, or just fancy a bit of a push to shift some extra pounds?

Just me then.

I'll just eat the tumbleweed...

Hi Ears, have you seen this thread? Lots of people on it who've done low-carbing before as well as those new to it (like me). Might be worth looking at if you're feeling lonely over here .

Thanks so much Drama, I'll take a look.

Hi Ears!

I have a dress - that is my target! It is beautiful, VASTLY reduced and I wanted it! Couldn't get it on 4 weeks ago, I can now but it looks too tight and I can't sit in it! Once I can get into it, there will be another lovely dress in the next size down. Then some new jeans… a proper brand that people who don't have big bums wear.

I tried on a few clothes today and they are fitting much better than before Christmas. Such a good feeling as the scales definitely don't ever tell the whole story.

My wedding in 6 weeks. I'm on day 4, lost 3pd already since Monday. Skin in awful though n severely broke out. I never get acne n it's all over my face, do you think this could be related? X

Depends maybe on what you are actually eating Botox.
