A new me! (hopefully, with some help)

A:D You are doing amazingly my lovely. The no longer feeling like being the "token fat one" is a great feeling. Size 12 Arrrrrrrggghhhhh! Well done!!!!
 
AGreat job with all that temptation, darlin! You have done so well... and lasagne? That'd be my downfall. It's the cheese ;)
So, see, you survived in even the toughest of situations! You did it, and you kicked butt at it! :hurray:

What an incredible feeling - an incredible revelation - to feel like you don't stick out, and that you are one of the normal ones. That is such a big deal - for me, that is the whole entire aim of losing weight - right there. Tick, tick tick! :hurray:

Exercise: 10 min walk and a 30 min random run :)

I'm sorry guys, i couldn't wait a week, i had to run today!!! I really felt like it had been weeks and weeks since i last did a run rather than 5 days and i was getting desperate to go and.......I loved it!!!! It was awesome and i didn't struggle at all!!! I did 30 mins on random and it was wonderful!! AND i felt bloody amazing wearing my new bra that stops my boobs flying about all over the place, and my new size 12 gym gear (did i mention that they were a size 12?!?! :) )

I seem to have lost on my bathroom scales this week so it's looking promising for sundays weigh in!!!! (other than the fact that i am going out with Gemma for a few glasses of wine saturday night!!!)This new 'lets shock this body' looks like it might have worked :)

Jess As you can see, i went to the gym! I just couldn't stay away any longer. My body started feeling better after a few days of not doing anything but the last two days i have started to feel slow, if that makes sence. i was convinced that i wouldn't be able to run at all, like i was going to have to start all over again. I was blown away with how easy i found it.

Ruthie Heya sweetie, It was so nice not being the 'token fat person' i was sat there thinking 'for all they knew i have never been anything other than this size' it was a nice feeling. And size 12!!!! I know, i still haven't got my head round it. That is gonna take some serious time to get use to.

Cheese Monster!! You really are obsessed with cheese aint you :) Love it!!! You were even talking about it again on facebook!!!! But yeah, i so know what you mean about lasagne. I adore it but i am just so determined to actually reach my goal. For the first time in my life i AM gonna achieve it and be SLIM!!
My aim with my weight loss is to blend and be 'normal' too. I think that's why i don't deal with compliments, i just want to not stand out at all, just blend, if that makes sence. I think i blend now, all thats left is to get rid of the wobbly bits i don't like and hopefully the last 15lb will get rid of that.
 
Sounded like your body really just needed the rest. Nothing like new exercise gear to get you motivated to run again!! Hoping for a big loss for you this week, all my fingers and toes are crossed!!
 
aw kate thats great to see that you missed it and you managed great not getting too tired!!You are a fit maniac!!YEAH FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!


I really hope you see some loss this week to get your spirits high!!!!

Breakfast: 50g porridge & banana (270 cals)

Dinner: 3 Chicken strips, salad, coleslaw and courgette rellish (404 cals)
Snacks: Skinny cappuccino (74 cals)
Total calories = 1028

Exercise: Rest day :)

I know i have eaten way under my calories today but i am going out tonight and i will be drinking so i have saved some up for that. It is weigh day tomorrow and i really don't wanna affect that too much. I have figured that i can have 4-5 glasses of wine and still be inside maintenance. I am trying not to think too much about the damage it might do, i can't not go out and enjoy myself because it is weigh day tomorrow, i have to think of the bigger picture or i'll never go out on a saturday night!!!!
I am going out with Gemma (the lovely friend i have made who worked at the gym) really looking forward to having a damn good catch up. And.....wait for it.......I am gonna wear my little black dress!!!!!! Part of me is really excited and part of me is proper scared! I think i might have to have a drink before i go out to stready the nerves.

We went into Barnstaple today to do stuff and i went and tried some more clothes on, i am actually starting to love it. I use to bloody hate clothes shopping!!!! I didn't buy anything but tried on a really pretty lacy black dress, i didn't like how my tummy looked but instead of 'you look like a fucking heffa' i thought 'ok, that's something i am going to have to work hard on' I am gonna get straight back into my crunches tomorrow!!!

On the way back from town Mark decided that it would be a good idea to stop in and see his mum :eek: I haven't seen her since the beginning of august so she hasn't seen my new body (do you remember me saying about how she was a cow when i saw her, waving chips under my nose) anyway, i really was nervous about what she would say and.......She was actually lovely. She said 'Mark wasn't lying, you are really slim' I expected her to say something bitchy but she actually said 'first of all i have to say you look bloody great but wow, i can't get over how skinny your legs are' I was really chuffed and i also didn't feel incomfortable talking about it either.
Oooh, i forgot to say we meet up with Shaun and Zoe for lunch and Zoe was gushing about how slim i looked and she also said 'you look like you had Jack when you were 12' I was confused by this and she said that i looked so much younger, also the way i dressed now made me look younger!!! :hurray: :hurray:

Lucy & Jess I think the rest did me good too and my body was ready to run again. I am hopeful for a loss tomorrow but i have had such an awesome week actually getting into size 12 stuff that i kinda don't mind too much. I will probably be gutted if i don't so what a i saying lol

Ok, off to get ready to go out for the first time in months!!!!!!! Shitting myself!!!!!!!
 
Kate- WOW!! A night out...... wearing the little black dress...... buying size 12 clothes........ enjoying clothes shopping again...... MIL compliments(!!)....... getting used to compliments & coping well with them (enjoying them even?) WELL DONE YOU!!!!!!!-

:party:WEE HOO!!!!:party:

Sweetie you sound so happy! By now you are probably wending your way home (or maybe still out dancing!) I hope you had a fabulous night!

Lots of love to you sweets, xoxo Cate.

PS. (If you are a little up on the scales on weigh-in, just know that it's fluid from the night out & will go really fast. )

PPS Hope your hangover isn't too bad xo
 
Do we get to see a picture of you in this little sexy black number? Hope you have a fabulous night out!!!!!!! Hope you see a good number on weigh in too!!!!

Lunch: Chicken, dry roast potato, cauliflower & brocolli cheese, carrots, squash, stuffin and gravy
Dinner: ummmm........couldn't be bothered to do anything..Whoops!
Snacks: Granola bar, 2 twix, 2 bags of monster munch!

Exercise: Does lazing around on the sofa count? I didn't even get dressed!!

I had an great night last night but boy did i suffer for it this morning :puke: I can't believe i was sick in the kitchen sink lol

I had to have a glass of wine before i went out, i was really nervous but it was fine. I didn't see too many people that i knew so it was just going out, drinking too much, dancing and having a good laugh. I saw a guy that use to go to the gym and he was really sweet about my weight loss. I didn't have to deal with any other compliments so all good :)

OMG i felt so rubbish this morning and wasn't too confident about my weigh in so you can imagine how gobsmacked i was to lose 5lb!!! I've only got 10lb left to go, i can't get my head round that at all. I have NEVER reached my goal and to be honest, i haven't started losing weight to actually reach a goal, just to not be as fat!

I know i wasn't gonna eat bread but there was no was i was gonna be able to swallow porridge!!! and seeing as i had puked lots (which made me feel sooooo much better) i was proper hungry and had 4 peices, its only 48 cals a slice but still 4!!!!!
I haven't done much at all today, just slobbed and cooked a roast. I don't cope with hangovers these days but it was worth it, i had a great time.

I did get Mark to take photos of me in my little black dress, which is loose now by the way!!!!! I will put it on here, probably tomorrow. I have to get him to take some of my size 12 jeans too.

I know my food has been pretty crap today but i kinda gave into my hangover. Back on track big time tomorrow....Gonna get rid of that last 10lb!!!!

Thank you all sooooooooooo much for your lovely comments. You guys are just the best!! It really blows me away that you are so here for me and always say the right things to keep me going. I am nearly there and you guys have done that for me. Love you :grouphug:
 
We love you too Kate!!!!!!!!! :grouphug:


What are you going to do when you reach your goal?? I'll be sad not to see you posting or not around!! You're so damn close to your goal it's unbelievable, especially looking back at how much you've lost and how far you've come.


Can't wait for sexy little black dress photos!!!!
 
ADAY 136

Breakfast: 50g porridge & banana (270 cals)
Lunch: Chicken salad and coleslaw (181 cals)
Dinner: Left overs from yesterday, chicken, dry roast potato, carrots, cauliflower & brocolli cheese, stuffin mash squash and gravy (425 cals)
Snacks: Granola bar, babybel cheese, apple and a bag of monster munch crisps (414 cals)
Total calories = 1290

Exercise: 75 crunches & 25 bridges AND A .......35 min run!!! and 10 min walk.

I really struggled with my crunches this morning. I could really notice that i hadn't done them for a week! My run this evening was great. I had had some bad news and it was great to run off my anger, i won't go into it as it would take me ages, Money grabbing extended family related evilness. Anyway i was so angry and it was great to run it off and doing the extra 5 mins was a breeze AND it was random incline running too.
While i was at the gym, running, i noticed someone i knew at the desk. She hadn't seen me for months and when she looked into the gym i just waved. Her face was like 'OMG' and she actually moved to see my body clearer, and making it obviously that she was gobsmacked with what i looked like, i felt really uncomfortable and put my hand up and said 'please stop' then Jo, the gym owner went over and talked to this woman (Jenny) so they both stared at me while i was running. I felt like a fucking freak show and so nearly started to cry. I hated it! I could rant about this for ages but i won't cos i sound ungrateful.
I love it when you guys comment on how well i have done, i just wish i could get on with my life without having to put on a brave face, smile sweetly and say thank you all the time. I can't wait til the time comes when everyone knows and i don't have to deal with it ALL the time.

Ok, onto the pictures. Please don't laugh at the stupid poses. I thought about the funky pictures Ruthie put on here and thought i'd have a go :)

Lucy Don't worry sweetie, i am going nowhere!!! I need you guys to keep me going thru maintenance. I know that i am going to need to keep track of my cals for the rest of my life and i want to keep posting on my diary to keep me going. I DO NOT want to lapse back to where i was. I will need you guys :) I am being so selfish lol all me me me!! lol

Edit Oooh, i forgot to put this one on. The first one was taken when i last went out in august for my birthday and second one was saturday. Soory about the lack of smiling, still forget to smile, still hate having my pic taken!

Oh Kate- rather than laugh at your 'poses' those last 2 in particular just put a big smile on my face. I think you should pin one or both of those up & look at them every day! Say "This is me. I look GREAT!" & give yourself a great big pat on the back! xoxo Cate
 
Kate you look incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From those first pics to the last ones- you have a teeny little waist now and your stomach has flattened out HEAPS! Not to mention the facial difference, you almost look like a different person! Can I say again how proud I am of you!???????????


That was a bit rude of the gym girls to do that to you, you shouldn't gawk at anyone for ANY reason. Surely she should've realised that a quiet comment maybe as you were leaving the gym would've been more appropriate? And encouraging? I'm sorry it upset you so much.


And YAY, glad you'll be sticking around!! I reckon I have another 3 months to reach my goal... then I might have to start up a fitness diary when I'm healed and ready to exercise again. So I'll be here for a fair while too!
 
I just LOVE those 2 pics you are smiling and posing they are sooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU look absolutlely gorgeous Kate!!!!I just was staring at the photos the difference is HUGE!!!!AW GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont you just feel great that you deal with problems and stress by running and NOT EATING?????????????do you know how important this is?ITS HUGE !!ITS THE MOST DIFFICULT THING and you have done it!


Now for that girl at the gym i have to say she had a nerve.Ok even is she was blowen away she SHOULDNT have stared like that and then both of them staring.Its ok if its a real close best friend i think , but NOT IN PUBLIC AND SOMEONE YOU hardly know.Im sure she didnt do it to make you feel uncomfortable she was just amazed probably but she should have been a little discreet and compimented you face to face.
