Ooooo Niki I think there's definitely something there with him!

keepon I think each person has their own goal. For some it will be BMI-related, some it will be a particular size, for some (me!) it will be where they know they are comfortable and the weight is sustainable and not unrealistic. It's a work in progress, why not play it by ear and assess it as you are going along. If 9st feels unrealistic then set targets along the way - 10%, new stone brackets, half stones lost etc. And if you find a wewight on the way along that you feel comfortable at - there's no pressure to go further.

I got a dress
sorry for the piss poor photo! Got it in the sale at Phase 8 should have been £140 I paid £40 size 12!
I did get into a beaut of a size 10 kimono dress but I fell in love with this one. Also treated my self to a pair of heels from Kurt Geiger... oopsy

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 06/03/2017 20:44

That is a lovely dress, Hairspray! And you look v slim.

Walked for an hour today and did weights. Went up from 5kg in each hand to 7.5. Arms are shaking now! 524 calories although I haven't counted milk

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 06/03/2017 20:45

If I haven't lost the 3lb I put on overnight I'll cry.

lastqueenofscotland · 06/03/2017 21:03

Gaw-jus Hairspray! Love that dress.

Stellar67 · 06/03/2017 22:02

Hairspray you look fabulous!

FreeNiki · 07/03/2017 00:48

Will keep going to that gym guys classes Wink

Feel really rough now. Have a migraine

ArseyTussle · 07/03/2017 06:39

Lovely dress!

KOKO, I have a notional weight of 10 stone to aim for, as that would put me in the middle of the healthy weight bracket. However, I haven't been that weight since I was about 17, so I don't know if it's realistic for me, and I suspect in reality if I get to 10.5 I'll be delighted.

My aims are a bit more wafty I think; I want to feel fit and strong, I want to look better, I want to wear the clothes I like, and I want to feel I'm doing right by DD, who is only 6 but has a 46 year old mother, so I'd like to live a long and healthy life.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 07/03/2017 06:40

Love the dress Hairspray! And you are looking very svelte

Hope you are feeling better this morning Niki!

I had a cheeky weigh in this morning after my fast day yesterday and... nothing! Still exactly the same weight Angry

BitOutOfPractice · 07/03/2017 07:09

Hope you're feeling better today Niki

Spurious* you and I have to keep the whoosh faith. We are on a little plateau but we will whoosh down the other side soon.

Back to 9st 10 again this morning... Did get to 9 9 last month... Wondering if I will ever see it again at the moment.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 07/03/2017 07:40

Back to 10.11.75, grr! Ok, so I lost most of my weekend weight, but the scales have been stuck on 10.12 or 10.11 for a fortnight now!

Plan for the day: going out for an Indian lunch, so will skip breakfast.

FeckinCrutches · 07/03/2017 07:45

Was hoping to be down to 10.6 this morning but totally sabotaged myself, and had gin/wine, then totally lost my mind and had a crisp sandwich and a bar of chocolate at 10pm. I wasn't even hungry, why do we do this to ourselves??

Plan for today.

Yoga
Yogurt and fruit
Some sort of salad
Fish and greens

Have a good day everyone!

HairsprayBabe · 07/03/2017 08:01

Thanks all! Blush
Shame that the scales are not reflecting my svelteness as I have gone up another lb after eating only an edamame salad at 7pm last night very upsetting and now I am back to sq 1 for the month.... 11.7

I am very grumpy now...

BitOutOfPractice · 07/03/2017 10:41

Just had a big bikini trying in session. Much less stressful than last year Grin

ArseyTussle · 07/03/2017 10:47

Oh god, a bikini is the stuff of legend!

Did a 7k run this morning. Anyone else wish it was just about the exercise?

QuimReaper · 07/03/2017 10:52

Ooooooh lookatyou Hairspray!

I don't Arsey. I think exercise is the only thing that'll get me over this hump but I'm just too lazy Blush

How was the curry BOOP? I must say I think pineapple in food is a truly dangerous move...

BitOutOfPractice · 07/03/2017 10:52

I find the exercise much more of a chore than the food to be honest

OP posts:
HairsprayBabe · 07/03/2017 10:52

No Arsey I hate exercise! I know it is getting to the point where I HAVE to do some any exercise but I hate it so much. If it was all diet and laziness I would be a happy girl¬

ArseyTussle · 07/03/2017 11:08

Interesting. If I had to run 7k a day but could eat what I wanted I'd be fine.

BitOutOfPractice · 07/03/2017 11:32

Arsey I say that as a girl who is sitting in the sunshine on the seafront in the outside of a full English so I guess it's easy to say that

Hi there you bloody rippers

I'm home from netball knock off night - otherwise known as end of summer season parents piss up. It was heaps good fun

Arsey there will come a point where you can def run 7km a day and eat what you like. The way you're going it will be within the year.

Hairspray you look fabulous in that frock. Massive NSV.

BOOP A bikini! Fucking hellfire! A non-traumatic swim suit try on is enough of a nsv. Well done you.

Queeny any job news? Good luckx

I need to go to bed, am squiffy and on the verge of watching Boy George in Celebrity Apprentice US. KOKO everyone.

lastqueenofscotland · 07/03/2017 11:38

Just had a call... I GOT THE JOB

I'm going home. Might have to have a happy sob in the bogs
