I know what you mean too Pink - I feel really thin too, even though I am still a size 22 . Can't imagine how I will feel once I've lost it all - have never been less than a 16

ChirpyGirl · 04/08/2008 15:34

Well that was depressing! Weighed myself to find I am at least half a stone heavier than I thought I was...shall blame period

Went to market and bought lots of fresh meat/fruit and veg and as they don't sell snacky food I didn't get any...genius!

PinkChick · 04/08/2008 17:09

fab isnt it KelaH! although i never recall being under size 16 either !..never mind Cg, you know what your working with now and like you say if you dont reg have periods i would put poss 3-4 lbs down to that..i am aslo due TOTM and i normally weigh about 3lb more this week!

Just made lovely tea, pasta with dry fried(frylight) chicken in tomato(passata) sauce and added some very low fat phillidelphia to make it creamy..mmm yum, tastes gorgeous..got some sliced garlic bread with it, so will have one and share rest between dd, mindee and dp..love it when ive been good..ooh i cant wait to get on scales tomorrow, it will be the first time i can remember ever losing 2st

oh gawd its come out twice on here -well i get weighed tomorow and ive been on the treadmill tnite and walked for miles today with bambino - also have been making zero points soups and really filling - so hers hoping good result tomorrow!!

Clairex · 04/08/2008 21:09

Jaz, well done for eating the veg yesterday. I hope the Sundae was nice!

KelaH - 51lbs thats fantatsic! Well done, you must be over the moon! How long has it taken you so far?

RGPargy - I know, it is crap having to go back to work, hopefully over the next week or so you will settle back down and enjoy being there and you can keep on track

Chirpygirl - welcome, I only joined in a couple of days ago too - speaking to these girls and seeing their fab losses is really motivating me too. Hope the Boots machine told you that you weighed less than you thought

PinkChick - what can I say, well done you are doing fantastic! Good on you, I bet you can't stop smiling looking at your new dress, must be an amazing feeling. I know ewhen I lost my weight after having ds I went to my sisters engagement party and i got compliments all night - I was walking on air. (then it all went back on and more Good luck with official weighing in tomorrow

Well today I had a croissant for brekkie, then a tuna panini for lunch and have been feeling stuffed since - couldn't face eating 1 bite of dinner, so just made myself have a yoghurst just now. These tablets seem to be kicking in. What do you do when you are not hungry? Not eat or make yourself eat something?

PinkChick · 04/08/2008 21:53

HIya Claire.glad you having good day..if im not hungry..i just dont eat..now before my buddies jump on me..what i DO do is make sure i have brekky, luncha nd dinner, no matter how small, its so ahrd getting used to making smaller portions for yourself but thats they key, eat less and you WILL manage the three meals..im the kind who doesnt like to see a plate thats not empty!..so its killed me, but now it LITERALLY and phsically hurts if i eat more than i should!

i also love croissants but theyre full of butter arn't they??i had one last weekend and could tell it could be 'my new THING' so i let dd/dp eat the rest..i could have eaten the packet

anyway, been sat here trying to sort out ar*ehole builder again, so need a bit of crap t.v before bed now..no work tomorrow so will pop on when ive been too loo and got weighed..LOL

PinkChick · 04/08/2008 21:55

ooh and BTW, you may want to try eating bits of fruit/veg as snacks thorugh day(even just handful of cherry toms, grapes, strawbs or something), i found it hard too, but being big as i am as well as not eating as much we also have to make sure we are getting some goodness too....can i have a hosue point for taking that in from you Ags, Jaz, RG Aero and co???

Clairex · 04/08/2008 22:24

Thank you. Its a really weird feeling not being able to eat. When I made dinner for us tonight I knew wasn't hungry. I dished up dh's and then thought I would have mine later, took a bit of chicken and it was a struggle to eat it.

I have now decided to have 1 special treat a day. I love a small bit of chocolate/ a biscuit around 9-10pm, so am going to have that - just a taster size though.

I will eat a bit healthier tomorrow, croissant this morning was a last minute decision at Cafe Nero as I knew I would be out for the morning.

I hope ths feeling full thing continues!

KelaH · 05/08/2008 07:47

Thanks Claire - the 51 lbs has only 16 weeks so far, but I'm sure it will slow down once I stop breastfeeding

Jaz - size 8?????? Wow, I will never know what that is like (am aiming for size 12)

FiveGoMadInDorset · 05/08/2008 07:50

Ia it too late for me to join? Had a baby 7 weeks ago and getting very depressed about size, started the GI diet last Friday as that is the one that seems to fit in with us the best.

KelaH · 05/08/2008 07:56

Hi Five! Welcome

PinkChick · 05/08/2008 08:12

Hi Five come on in[smile

Claire, its so weird isnt it? the full feeling!!??..ive never been 'full' i always ate till i felt ill..i would never leaave anything on my plate, thats why eating smaller portions and stopping when i AM full is hard!..hope you all have good day today..off for bath and will get weighed on mine this morn.x

OP posts:
PinkChick · 05/08/2008 08:34
