General hysterical diet related rambling: From Flab to Fab.

A:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray: OMG!! 160's!!! I could cry I am so so happy for you!! Healthy BMI right around the corner!! FREAKING AWESOME!!

I can't explain how happy I am for you...makes me want to go exercise ...no really it does....haha..I have been pissing around all nite on Facebook and the net....and now I am gonna say goodbye and go walk a bit.....see you motivated me...well done!! xoxo :)
 
AThanks Kate :) There would definitly not be any naked tummy shots, and I would never dream of wearing a bikini still, but once my tummy's tucks done, there will be not a single inhabition for me :) Woohoooo!

Tete.. Me being almost a healthy BMI doesn't even want to make me exercise, I'm glad that it has that effect on you tho :) This time last year I had a BMI of 31, and had not a shred of hope that I'd ever ever being slim again. So I am really happy.



I know the last 3 waist inches is going to be the hardest part, I don't know exactly how much weight I'm going to have to lose to get a 28 inch waist, but that is my ultimate goal. I am going to work really hard to do it :) And I definitely will have done it by christmas :D
 
AHey Rainbow!! Congrats on getting to the 160's!! I cant believe how good you look in your recent pics, I dont know where you hide that weight, but you definitely look skinny already! Maybe you have a big heart/brain? haha im just in the healthy BMI range at 24.9 i believe. And you look loads better than me!! Damn you :p hehe nah im really happy for you!
I love your dinner pics aswell, they always look so good! you should be a chef haha, do you enjoy cooking? I really like cooking, just dislike the cleaning up afterwards lol.
 
AYour are GREAT@!!!!:hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray:

Such a lovely huge diference in those photos and now you're even less!!!You are gorgeous and amazing!you actually look thin!!!I and you look sexy really you do in that little suite of yours!!!!

I am so glad you\re back and posting your food pics!they all look lovely!I am so happy 4 u!I wish all the best for you and really hope all is alight and will get better and better 4 u!
 
ABecky We will have to agree to disagree because I think you look loads slimmer than me! Yeah I do really like cooking :) Nick does the washing up in the evenings (mostly) so I haven't gotta worry about the boring part! You should get your bf to do the washing up if you cook something nice as well, its fair as you will have put the effort into making the meal. I especially love chopping things up, I try and go faster and fast each time. I want to chop like a proper chef lol. As much as I like cooking I wouldn't want to be a chef. From being a waitress I know how stressy restaurant kitchens can get, and I would never get a fag or toilet break lol. I would prefer a job where I don't have to do much actual work or standing:) Better go and check up on you to see if that job got back to you that your friend told you about....

Jasper Thanks, I actually felt slim today! It feels great, if a little scary. I'm just not used to it!

Yup^^^ I went out today in my size 12 top and my size 12 jeans (which both fit :D), and I felt really good. I definitely feel more confident going out now my eyebags are much better, I feel more feminine, and good in my new clothes. I think I might feel okay enough to go to a non-pubby style nightclub again. I feel shaky and panicky just thinking about it... But I love dancing like a prat... and the thought of my last expedition out clubbing (which half destroyed me) being my last one ever makes me sad. So I am going to do it. Its been at least 5 months now, and that is long enough! So I'm going to see if Nicks mum can babysit on the 17th. If not the 24th as she likes some notice. Actually she's going on holiday soon... Hope it'll be okay!

I bought the dance mat! Couldn't wait to sell stuff first, I want it NOW!

Going to the zoo tomorrow, I made a big picnic, including a large salad. I did hard boiled eggs, new potatoes, and posh sandwiches, and also got posh crisps, fruit jelly and dolly mixtures :eek:

I didn't eat properly today really but my cals are fine.

Food
Porridge with apple and cinnamon
Door step size bit of multigrain bread with butter
KFC chicken breast
Apple
3 coffees
=1284

Exercise
7 minutes trampoline

ASize 12!!! Freaking awesome!!! You are so close to single digits!! :hurray::hurray::hurray::hurray:

Enjoy your day at the Zoo...it and your picnic sounds so so lovely!! Hope you have a nice day!!
 
AGREAT!!!!~!!size 12~~~i am soooo wanting to get there!!!!



How didthe zoo go?did Nick come with?how are things between u 2?i hope its better!
Did you weigh today?where are you???SO MANY QUESTIONS |AND NO RAINBOW AROUND TO ANSWER!!!!


Did you try on the silver dress too see if it fits?i think it was a 12?
 
AThe zoo was fun! Unfortunately that bloody dress still doesn't fit. It fits on my waist and hips, its just my blimming boobs that need to lose 2 inches! Arrgghh.

Kate, I am writing myself a sick note to explain my absence. I have got a horrible hangover.

Will try to catch up with everyones diaries but I can't make any promises :eek:

Yesterday
Half a very thick granary ham sandwich
3 new potatoes
handful kettle chips
Humongous salad
Hard boiled egg
Handful of dolly mixtures
A large slice of victoria sponge
About 10 vodka diet cokes.

About 6 hours walking

Today
Roast potato cubes with jalepeno's, red onion, chorizo, egg, tomatoes, halloumi and chickpeas.
Maybe an apple later
Black coffees as I have run out of milk and am too fragile to go to the shop.
 
SIZE 12??:hurray: WELL DONE LADY!!


Also i agree with Becky you would make a fab chef, your food always looks so delicious. Im delighted you enjoyed the zoo SUPERMOM:)


You are such an inspiration Ruth:)

xoxoxox
 
AHa ha ha ha!! That's so funny. You have a hangover, Ok you're forgiven. To fragile to get milk, a proper hangover too huh! Tee hee. :)
 
AHmmm.... If I was supermom I wouldn't have drunk so much! I can't actually remember the last time I drunk at home.... I don't feel that awful about having a hangover tho, as we took the kids out the day before. We usually have one day of doing stuff then a rest day.

And I'm afraid I did end up getting milk and had a late night huge porridge :eek:

Now I have my own weighing scales, I'm not sure what the weigh day procedure should be! Should I not talk about my weight change until Wednesday which is my official day? Or can I celebrate every pound as I lose it? Or would that be silly as weight fluctuates naturally from day to day?

Eerika's doing a 30 day challenge thing which I am gonna do too. The answers to the questions are ones that make you think about your attitude to weight loss more deeply. So what the hell.

AOoo I really love that. It definitely gets you thinking, and any kind of thinking like that is a major bonus to your weight loss, I think. I remember you saying you read all these old journals and looked at why some people were successful, and why some weren't, and having a heathy attitude to weight loss was one of the major things. If not THE thing. That's so inspiring! I know that personally, this time, because I haven't been stressed TOO much about it, and I haven't put really hard core restrictions on myself, it has worked really well. Surprisingly! I thought I was someone who needed rigidity in order to succeed, but apparently not. Just a brain shift.

So major props to you and Eerika for doing this!

p.s. Hope your tummy is feeling a bit better today!
 
AI'll look forward to your 30 day challenge answers....very insightful.

and listen here chic!!! you celebrate every single ounce if you want!! and I will be your loudest cheerleader!!! you sound excited about your week....can't wait to see your official weight in number!! :grouphug:
 
AI must confess that I definitely see some of the hopelessness and stress of some of the failed diaries in mine as well! Its really only in the past week or so that I have started to feel this diet is actually really a "way of life". Note to self: Don't sweat it sista :) In fact I am still actually gobsmacked that I have really truly lost weight!!!

And Tete, whatthehell, I will celebrate now rather than waiting till Wednesday! I have two causes for celebration... 1. I have lost exactly 3 stone today, and 2. I'm a healthy bmi!!!!!



And I have a healthy shop coming tomorrow!

I am by no means properly slim yet. I have still go absolutely no sign of hipbones, and there is a layer of fat sitting cozily under my skin... But its a smallish layer that will be gone soon!

Charlie is starting his new school tomorrow! I've got Lilys nursery starting date wrong though... I need to go in tomorrow morning to do the paperwork, but she isn't starting till next Monday. I'm going to spend the next few weeks hardcore decorating (and playing on my dance mat, can't wait to get it), then I'm joining the gym. And I'm gonna get superfit.

First job is cleaning and tidying my house though. Everything that I so carefully cleaned and organised a few weeks ago is completely wrecked now. I have made a best offer on a superposh top of the range hoover on ebay, I really hope I get it as it takes well over an hour to hoover my house atm.

The bf is starting to talk about eating healthier now. He gets at least three take aways every week (chicken and chips). There's a gym at his new college that he is going to join. It will be much easier maintaining eventually if he is making a decision to be healthy. Have just calculated his bmi and its 26. I dunno how when the greedy sod eats so much :)

Food
Apple
Porridge
Very small portion of gnocchi in tomato and red pepper sauce with a bit of cheese
Peach
More porridge
4 coffees

Exercise
Hmmmm...

Anyway GONGRATSSSS AND YAYYY YOU'RE GOING TO GYM, I LOOOVE GYM! :D
 
AThanks everyone!

I have been the same Tete, I watched all the 9/11 programmes last night. I just couldn't sleep. I was crying buckets. For the first time I saw footage of people filmed waving things out of the south tower on the floor which was hit, with smoke billowing out of the windows and no hope that they would ever survive it. Seeing people jumping to their deaths, and those sickening moments when the towers fell down and thousands of people were still inside them. I just can't imagine that fear.... Going to work, another normal day.... Then that.

At about 10 last night there was constant banging like bombs (was probably just fireworks I couldn't see) and I was terrified thinking London was going to be blown up as it was the anniversary.
