Message to Myself ... diary to remind me where I have been and where I am going

Great news that is fantastic. Shows what dedication and head in the right place does to you. So so happy for you xxx
 
That's absolutely fantastic, you're an inspiration! Job well done xx
 
Thank you ladies! I am very target oriented so am over the moon at moment. I am definitely not perfect, and I am still loving my food ... Just less of it. I do less exercise than a lot of you, but just walk my dogs. Everything I have done has been to try and fit in with my lifestyle rather than change it so much, it wouldn't be sustainable. I am size 14 now and loving the slim curves so apart from maybe losing another 4lbs to get to "healthy normal " weight I don't want to go any lower to be honest. Any more and my boobs will become inverted :cry: now to up my calories, I see a small bag of minstrels winking at me :):break_diet:
 
Maybe the air is lighter up north in Lancashire :confused:

I weighed myself on my sister in laws weight watchers scales this morning and I was 'normal' weight category 11st10lbs - instant / well overnight weight loss of 5lbs on the 150 mile journey yesterday. Maybe I jet off up to Scotland today to lose even more :rotflmao:

Seriously though, I will not actually be posting again tomorrow and claiming success EVEN though it is so tempting to do so. That thought never crossed my mind, more than a couple of times!!!! :rolleyes:

You'll be heavier up here everything is laden with fat and sugar :D

I have so much bother buying low fat/sugar options of everything :sigh:
 
1360 average calories this week and still lost 2lbs. Yesterday big fat ugly chocolates monster reared it's head, and I ate my Easter egg supply! Yuk, I felt so sick afterwards, blood sugar levels all over the place ... Bring back on healthy eating. I love my band and I love my veg and fruit more than chocolate now :greenapple:

I still have cream egg supply, but I don't think I could manage one. It's strange for me to not be tempted ... Thank you Mr Band, I love u!!

Gained the two pounds back that I lost last week. Still at goal, so no problems. Totm methinks. It will balance itself up during the month I know. Average of 1450 calories a day, over the past week which is not too bad considering the raging hormones. Will look to be around 1300-1400 calories average a day for next few weeks, as I am pretty sure that that will be the calories I need to be able to maintain my weight loss long term. Roll on another week or so, when for approximately 10 days, I WILL feel restriction ... Makes thing SO much easier :)

Hubby is in America at moment, so it's pretty stressful trying to cope with job, travel, three dogs and home. Going in to work this morning just to catch up ... Want to start next week at the starting line, not behind it. I need some sun on my body, this horrible weather can be so depressing. May have to have a session on the sunbed instead on my way home from work. A six minute treat, non food related. A tan is so slimming after all LOL

Someone gave me some of their spare uniform yesterday (last time I placed an order it actually took 10 months to arrive...think they grew the cotton bushes especially to make my uniform) ... Size 14... It looked so teeny on the hangers I thought it would never fit. But it did; and I looked like a trolley dolly in my knee length skirt (they never normally see the light of day, those legs!). Whoop whoop thought, now my clothes are half the size, I can fit double in my wardrobe .... Mmmmmmmmmmm ..... I see another shopping trip coming on soon ...... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

I had to have words with our corporate wear team as they refused to send me anymore! They couldn't believe how I kept needing a new size every 6-8 weeks and said I'd had more than enough in this last 6months. Now managing on 1 skirt until (luckily) my replenishment order due in may! Never amended the sizes on that so much! Lol!
I know what you mean about it looking tiny on the hanger, I did exactly the same when I had mine, really thought that it would never fit!! great feeling though isn't it...next one coming is a 12.....eek! :)
You're as bad as me, knee length skirts, sunbed sessions...what we like!! Totty :D xx
 
You two are a really great inspiration to all us new banders. It is difficult at the beginning of the journey to ever imagine getting to where you are. Thank you for your updates certainly keeps me going
 
Maybe we ought to rename our profiles to tatty oops predictive text ... Totty lol! Funny how people start to look at you differently when you are no longer a size 26. Now I reckon they think I am ok to look at but a bit of a bimbo :rolleyes: oh well, I don't mind being underestimated ... its helpful sometimes :cool:

Hahaha......we had a regional conf yesterday and I met up with around 250 of our business managers of which 80% hadn't seen me since pre op. Had a mix of blank faces until I opened my mouth, double takes, and swear words (in a good way)....I was buzzing! Yes I tired of telling my story but secretly revelled in the limelight! A couple of the lads even asked if I get much interest now I'm fit......not sure they meant interest as in apr nor fit as in exercise :D

Kay its a great journey if you put the work in! I never believed I'd achieve this kind of weight loss and initially wouldn't even set a target weight following previous goals set at ww, sw etc lol. I never achieved them then so I still thought why would this be different but it is!

Enjoy the ride...it's fab :) xx

Kay, it's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it ... Always think positive x
