Sprite's Progress Thread

Ok all, today was a great day for me. I've eaten well so far, and when I ventured out to find something to wear to our staff Christmas dinner/party tomorrow night I ended up coming home with a green knee-length dress... in a size 12!! The 12 trousers might not look quite right yet but I'm into a 12 dress, and I am sooooooooo happy about it. (Can u tell? ;))

This has really given my motivation a boost too. :)

Heya's Sprite,
So I read your diary and the update says size 2 dress wow
that is awesome and inspiring!Congrats sorry I havent visited in a while
and thank you for stopping by to visit me.Your doing great and I try to
visit more often,Tammy;)
 
Hey Tammy, it's a size 12 dress (UK sizes) I'm not sure what that is in US sizes but it's a big step down for me anyway. :) Thanks for stopping by. :)
 
Well... I weighed, and this week I am still the same weight, 177lbs. Between now and Christmas Day I dont see any reason I cant eat right (all the parties, etc, are done now) so I am gonna try really hard this week, maybe even lose a lb before Christmas if I can. (Ultimately though I will be happy just to keep it at what it is and not gain anything!) I have to admit I've slacked a lot with excercise just lately; what with Christmas etc I'm so busy it's hard to find time to fit it in and have the energy to make myself! So that's something I need to remedy, and I'm going to start right now and go down to the gym for an hour. :)
 
I burnt 750 cals at the gym last night, I feel like I'm gonna get back into the swing of things no problem despite Christmas. :D
 
I think... the portion sizes have been creeping up, yet again. I am gonna keep them under control for the next couple of days, probably stuff myself silly over Christmas Dinner, then after Christmas I'm cracking the whip big time...

I have a target for the 12th Feb, which is 6 weeks exactly from New Yrs Day. I'm raring to go with it :) My weightloss has been quite slow, but steady, I can't wait to lose that next half-stone. :D
 
Merry Christmas this si twolilangels, I needed a new screen name anyway...just wnated to wish you a Merry CHristmas and Happy Holidays!!!
 
Thanks you three!! I hope you all had a great day too. Mine has been nice.

Sooo...

Excercise? None. Calories? Thousands lol. (Literally, I should think!) I had two LARGE plates of roast dinner at lunch time and have been picking at chocolates and peanuts all afternoon and evening. Tomorrow will be just as bad :D

But when all this Christmas stuff is over I'm gonna be going for it. I'm excited to see what I can do if I'm a bit stricter and work a bit harder. I got a few bits for Christmas that will come in handy -a new, more "pretty" drinks bottle, a small mp3 player that hangs round ya neck (my current 40gb one is a bit of a brick and not v practical for the gym) and a set of scales -digital precision ones. Having nice things to use makes it more fun in a way, I think. :D
 
Congratulations on getting things you can use to help with the weight loss! I also got a small MP3 player I haven't entirely figured out yet.
 
thanks turtle :D dont think I've spoken with you before; how much are you looking to lose and how are things going? :)
 
Just passing through catching up (back from holiday)

Lol, good on ya :)

Sounds like you had a great xmas!
 
Haha, I sure did. We carry on the celebrations here right till the end of Boxing Day so today will be bad too, but I am gonna get down the gym tomorrow and start the work again :D Cant wait.
 
Hiya sprite!

Congrats on hte size 12-im not bitter at all lol. size 14 is hopefully looming for me soon :). Have a great boxing day, i think i ate my fill of chocolate and nutsyesterday about 5 times over, do you know hte average person eats 6000 calories on christmas day. Lol, anywho, happy christmas.
 
Hey Janez. Thanks lol. The size 12 trousers I bought fit but still look a bit on the tight side :D and I'm sure after these few days they will be looking even tighter lol. So a few more lbs need to go before I'll consider myself officially a size 12! ;)

Lol, I mainly fill up on the meals over Christmas (I'm more of a savoury food fan so eat huge meals then find myself too full for much else) but I'm sure I packed the cals in yesterday Never mind, I'm not sorry. :D

Happy Christmas to you too. :)
