Absolutely disheartened:(

I’ve been doing SW for about 18 months, progress is slow but I’m 2 stone down so far, and was feeling great.

I ice skate and have a couple of competitions next year, so as a birthday present I was given money to have a dress made. It arrived today, all measurements were accurate.

Didn’t take into account how thick my thighs are, and it won’t budge over my hips :(

I’m near tears, I’ve not felt like this for ages, was even getting into smaller jeans etc.

First competition is in February, so I’ve got time but aaargh I feel so rubbish!

Actually I got it wrong in that last post - my hips are fine, my thighs are so fat the dress won’t go up to my actual hips. Grrr I’m so annoyed at myself :(

Hugs, you have done so well but our bodies can be pains at times x

I’ve got about 4 inches I could do with losing.

Doubt that’s doable in 9 weeks tbh.

It could be. I've lost 33 inches over all.

I lost 1 inch off my waist after 6 weeks but at my 12 weeks I had lost 5 inches. Stick at it and you may surprise yourself. I know I did.

I just did the good old grab test on the problem area . It’s fat - which is good, that means it’ll go. On a good week with some SP days I can drop 4 pounds, so, you’re right Groovee - it’s definitely possible.

Lollipop,the weight doesn't come off evenly where we want it to!
You may be near or at your target before that last bit of extra weight comes off your thighs.

I know, I know :( but to be fair the weight I’ve lost has come off my thighs an bottom somewhat - it’s where most of my weight is unfortunately.

Anyway, been pretty good over Christmas, only half a pound on at my weigh in, but we weighed on Wednesday and will go back to our normal Monday next week, so not a full week but hopefully the losses will start with the new year :)
