SlenderEasters Egg Each Other On To 7lbs Loss In April

[BitOutOfPractice]

Spring is Sprung and the Easter bunny is on his way. Let's dodge the chocolate temptations and power our way to 7lbs off this month

Here's a link to the March thread

niki trust me four zero doesnt hurt that much and I'm sure stability is different for everyone,

I know a few people who have waited until 50 to turn their lives upside down in both good and not so good ways.....hope for us all yet!!

Im still 38. 39 soon.

No kids no relationship no house alone most of life. Just tired.

I am currently the size of a buffalo. A buffalo who has just eaten a moose.

Last day today and we're going for a walk across Brooklyn Bridge. I hope the bridge can hold my weight

The good news is, I miss chatting to you all and when I get back I am going to need some serious hand-holding to rediscover the wagon, so I'll probably be posting thirty times a day

Nikki guess how old I am in June. Clue: it ain't 40

Hello quimmy! Bloody nice to see you. Enjoy your last day.

I've just fitted into a 12. Not just any 12, a Topshop 12!!

Over 40 here. Who says you need stability? Sometimes I dream about running away and being a nomad.

Quim! Good to hear from you. Enjoy your last day.

BOOP Top Shop 12? Sleeennnderiiiista 💃🏿

Well done TV! Impressive!

Quiet day on the food front here. Although it's not over. My prime time for food is here on in as I flag but need to keep going. Have worked on the protein today so fingers crossed. Might have a .

Anyone seen KOKO's mojo?

One of my facebook friends is talking about getting old on the eve of her 26th birthday.

There are many women on here who are devastated at wanting a 3rd child and their partner doesn't.

I could say dont be daft to my friend at being 26 or tell the other women on here that they're damn lucky they have 2 children already when I am unlikely to have one at all.

But their feelings are their feelings as are mine. It doesn't negate my feelings about turning 39 next month.

Just did a hiit session which has the endorphins flowing. Feeling very alive.

It's probably where I've left my floss. My teeth are really annoying me and i cannot find floss.

Posted too soon.

I'm watching master chef. Bad move.

Of course it doesn't negate your feelings Nikki and I'm sorry if we've made you feel like that.

I don't know you well enough to know what to say. I was trying to say "I know how you feel about getting older" in a more lighthearted way. Sorry if that was the wrong thing.

I haven't posted for a while but have been watching you every day. You are all very impressive and inspirational.

I am going to really try this week so that I can post next weekend with a really good loss.

I'm sorry too niki that you feel that way. I do worry that you are too hard on yourself and that makes me sad. Of course you are entitled to your feelings.
I too was trying to be lighthearted, apologies. My life isn't perfect by any means, but I try to make the best of what I have.

Finished today on 1028 calories and 14,500 steps. Feeling much brighter than last night I can tell you

I know you were just kidding...feel a bit sensitive.

Im eating too much crap these days. Need to reign it in.

Niki you sound so low, I'm so sorry you've hit such a difficult patch. Can you think about changes that you can make in your life before you hit 40? I have a friend here who turned 50 last year and she decided to make it a year of saying YES, so she's done 50 things that have scared/challenged/changed her. Things like skydiving, swimming around the pier (she's not a great swimmer), lots of stuff, big things and ordinary things. She is childfree too, although she does have a partner who she met after she turned 40.

I think life is very tough when you compare yourself to others, and I genuinely sorry that you are not in a place where you had hoped to be. I am turning 50 next year (FFS) and am finding it all totally horrifying. So if you want a partner to do crazy/adventurous stuff with then we can do it on opposite sides of the world. for you mate. Also I would tell the 26 yr old to get fucked

Sorry to hear you are feeling so down Niki. These things turn into a vicious circle - emotional eating because you feel like shit then you feel like shit because of what you ate so you feel down... And add on being out of work and it is even harder. You are doing the right thing in getting some exercise though.

Nice to hear from you Quim! Enjoy your last day.

How are you doing Mountain?

Hope you're feeling better today niki lovely support ^ totally agree, positivity brings positivity
Sounds like an amazing trip quim good luck with the weigh in, I can join you climbing on the wagon as am now back down to original start weight this am
🍀 paws we can do it!

Nikki My friend made a list of things she wanted to try and do before 30 could you do the same if you still have a year before 40?

10.13 for me today, I am back at square one for the month, so I may see a loss yet... however... I am currently sat at my desk in a size 10 skirt! Not Topshop but size 10 nonetheless

Have plans involving food and cocktails at the weekend though so probably not!

Thanks all.

Im quite down about it as my 20s were a total write off and my 30s almost the same.

I was paying back so much debt in my 20s and on crap money that I did no travel or anything at all. I didn't even bother looking for a partner as I thought no one would want me with no money.

Then came my thirties and I didnt really get my ass in gear until I was about 32. Then I did some travel, took up new hobbies, met someone.

Then a couple years later, lied to, cheated on, dumped, met another lied to and cheated on by next one, and next one.

Illness, job stress, job loss.

So thats another decade a total fucking write off. Now Im 38. So the 40s is a little late to get it together and have a family now. So the realisation that i really have left it all too late.

One of my old colleagues at work got married at 25 and had a baby at 30. What the fuck have i done with my life.

Niki, in the nicest possible way, to consider being broke during your 20s as meaning you couldn't have a partner is quite unusual. God, weren't we all stony broke in our 20s? some of us still are absolutely shite with money well into our 30s This sounds like a cycle of thinking you are unworthy that has gone on for at least 15 years. Have you ever considered counselling for your low self-esteem?

I know now. It was silly. But then one of my bfs in my early 20s wasnt broke. He was on a 40k salary and that was in 2001. He worked for an investment bank and got frustrated with me as I could never afford to do anything.

I had scary scary levels of debt that was going to take years to clear.

But now when I look at 20 somethings at work I see some of them have fuck all and yet have partners. It was stupid. I used to sit next to a trainee who when she got paid her bank account went back to zero. That used to be me. Yet she had a boyfriend and I didnt even look. So that's why I see my life as a missed opportunity. Now too old to do it all fresh.

Im seeing my favourite pt at the gym tonight 😍

Niki it is only now I am in my 40s that I feel more comfortable in my own skin and can feel that I am worthwhile. I didn't believe it throughout my 20s and 30s. I have had lots of counselling to get to this point and I can thoroughly recommend it.
