I need a big kick

since I failed to meet my target for the wedding, and now the wedding has been and gone. I have really lost it.

Am hoping the new mag comes in the post today as that usually gives me a shove in the right direction.

Aw Ria - set yourself a new goal now?

How about Christmas? What about a nice new dress for a night out? Are you for the MN Christmas do? I'm not 'cos im odd too far away......

I set myself a goal to get into a pair of size 14 next jeans that I love - I managed it, now they're too big for me

Next goal is a pair of River Island cropped jeans I bought before I had DS (who is 5!) they're a size 14 too, but there's too much of an overhang yet for me to feel comfortable wearing them.... next stop after those is a size 12 pair of jeans I wore 2 days after having dd (8).......

And in my wildest dreams I actually do have a size 10 dress in my wardrobe.... I started off hoping to be able to wear that at Christmas, but it won't be Christmas 2009!!

GrimRIAper · 10/10/2009 17:16

I didn't know there was a Mnet xmas do. Presumably it's done by area? I expect my nearest would be Leeds, so too far away (and not my scene anyway TBH). I don't go out much, hardly ever at night without kids, that's why the wedding was the biggest thing ever

Am going for a small goal - 7lb off. Then I'm having a tube of that new Sanctuary black pepper body scrub

GrimRIAper · 10/10/2009 17:18

on the 5 stone plus thread we set a goal of a stone off my xmas. I am failing so far

sowhatis · 10/10/2009 17:21

Well done to everyone for hanging on in their. I think it really is about a healthy lifestyle change, thats the way im looking at it, and not as 'another diet'. So far in 3weeks i have lost 18lb! next WI is tues, hoping for another 4lb off. I want to be in a size 14 by xmas. i think that is around 2stone away as im in a 16 now, and was a 16/18 when i started.

fingers crossed for us all, that by xmas we are looking wonderful and succeeding!

have a good weekend everyone xx

ConnieComplaint · 10/10/2009 17:23

Falling short dear, nit failing

We're having a take away tonight & I'm going to have some vodka....

We're going to callin with MIL now on way to town to pick up the chinese, so will mosre than likely have a small glass of wine with her..... it's even after 5pm now

About the MN meet - dunno where it's at tbh, I think it's probably one huge do where everyone travels & stays... could be wrong though, the thought alone terrifies me!!

ConnieComplaint · 10/10/2009 17:24

that would be not failing....

it's skate this week nappyaddict

GrimRIAper · 10/10/2009 20:43

don't much like the sound of that kind of meet connie. I have met one Mnetter which was nice, but I couldn't go to a do like that with DH and people we might know, something unknown would finish me off altogether!

(am struggling with my anxiety issues atm)

I am having some wine tonight oo (nothing new there then) I need to get my final; assignment done and posted and then I can throw myself into it big time,

well done so what!!! that is brililant and I am

nappyaddict · 11/10/2009 09:19

There's a big one in London but individual areas usually do their own as well. I'd be too scared to go to the big one I think but I've been to local ones before.

AuntieMaggie · 11/10/2009 19:21

well done so what

where's tits? has she left us?

I originally wanted 2 stone by xmas but now I think a stone is more realistic!

kiltycoldbum · 12/10/2009 07:12

hello ladies, may i join in? i have finally reached the point of actually having enough of eating everything in sight and would actually like to do something about my weight. i had a baby 4 months ago so have got to now stop eating like im still pregnant! lol

i want to lose 3.5 to 4stone but want to take it a stone at a time as if i think of it as the whole amount i'll just terrify myself at the immensity of it! So today i weigh 13 stone dead my target for now is to get to 11.13 as getting that 1lb under 12 will give me the incentive to keep at it!

i wont be able to get on everyday put shall get here whenever i can, now im gonna go explore the website for some inspiration!

so far so good, only had a cup of tea with canderel, trust me it could be so much worse...even at this time of morning! lol

kid · 12/10/2009 07:35

My 2nd week on SW was a great success. I have lost 5lb, making my total loss 7lb (in 2 weeks I want to add!)

Very pleased with myself, especially as I was convinced I had wasted the whole week.

Montifer · 12/10/2009 07:51

Hi, may I join you?

Have just seen the thread and am (re)inspired.
I had great success with SW pre pregnancy but am stuck back at original starting weight and DS is 16 months .
I have given up trying to go to SW meetings as they don't fit in with work / DS dinner / bedtime.

Would like to lose a stone by Christmas, know it's very possible, in theory.
Haven't tried extra easy before, is it better than red / green?

sowhatis · 12/10/2009 16:47

Thanks All. Had a bad couple of days, i haven't deviated from the plan, but have been tired and moody and fed up - think it could be around that time of the month!!!!

good luck this week everyone. i was hoping for 4lb, but right now i think 1/2lb would do, any sort of loss is still a loss!!! (not having a good/happy day!)

i haven't been having any syns, i think this is my problem, and it was silly not to have any, i have the rest of the weeks and lost well, so i have only myself to blame.

getting a chinese tonight (within syns!!!) and looking forward to sitting down.

wecome to KILTY & MONIFER and WELL DONE KID!!!!

Ill post tomorrow to let you know my loss(or gain!?)

xxx

GrimRIAper · 12/10/2009 21:46

still not back on plan here (pre-packed curry meal I bought for DH and I at the weekend still needs eating, and it was "parents" lunch at school today. How rock and roll am I?) but OU assignment done and ready to post, so that's one stress gone and I can get down to knitting/embroidering (to stop me snacking at night), readig SW mags and using the exercise bike.

I went to a dance class this morning and it was great (even though I was not!) can't wait for next week.

good luck everyone!

Montifer · 13/10/2009 10:30

Right, have stated a food diary this morning - I mean business!

You reminded me Grim about the evening 'handicrafts' to stop the nibbling on chocolate biscuits.
Will get my knitting needles out tonight and maybe my friends and family will be the lucky recipients of hats and scarfs this christmas and I'll be in my size 12 party dress!!

littleoldme · 13/10/2009 13:19

Well I've trying but I keep falling off the waggon. Had a huge binge of Friday and last night made a yummy, but V cheesy, risotto. Grrr So far have not lost anything for 3 weeks . need to pull myself together.

GrimRIAper · 13/10/2009 13:26

me too Monti! am having a rare red day and it's going OK

tonight will be the problem when I realise I can't make SW chips cos I fancy a snack!

StrawberriesandCherries · 13/10/2009 13:35

LOM - i know how you feel, Ive been good for 80% of the time for 3 weeks, and have put on a pound! Wonder if those long term SWers can tell us if they found a plateau after couple of months, and what kick started it?

onlygirl · 13/10/2009 15:04

Still finding it hard to comprehend eating more is helping me lose the weight! I have been going for 3 weeks and have lost 4.5 lbs. Really pleased with this as i suffer with pcos and never thought i would lose anything.

sowhatis · 13/10/2009 16:07

last night i ate around 35syns. im hoping this didnt do too much harm as for 4 days i hadnt had any syns????.............any ideas?

def TOTM, moody, bloated and generally pi$$ed off!!!

WI tonight, anything off will be a start!

Hope you are all having a good week so far

xx

sowhatis · 14/10/2009 15:47
