Good girl

 

[EternalRose]

Yep!!! I was amazed, although i have this fear that i wont lose much. Like 3lb then i will just stop

I dont even know how much i have to lose, but theres a lot of wobbly bits i want gone!!!

I will be SO much happier if this works, i need to feel confident in myself again, or i will just slowly become reclusive i think x

I feel the same hun, as much as I love being on babyandbump ( Im addicted!) i want a bit of a life and start going out more. I am only 24. I havent stepped foot in a nightclub in nearly two years!! (pregnant for 9 months and now abigail is nearly 9 months old her self ) and I know that being back to my old self QUICKLY is the only thing that will make me happy. And the MC gives me that. I cant spend another 6-12 months sitting in the house getting to my goal weight. I used to be a size 6...so thats what my goal is because its what I feel comfortable at. You can do it hun, what size are you? What do you want to get down too? xxx

Im gonna sound really self centred now, but im a 10... sometimes a 12, depends how baggy i want my clothes to be. I used to be a 6/8 and even then i wasnt happy. I look back now and i want to be how i was, id be over the moon... you dont know what you had till you've lost it!!

My stretchmarks are disgusting, but white - there are millions of them (tiny ones) on my belly so unless its thin and toned they have a sponge-effect which is vile looking. Its as if ive took a cheese grater to my stomach Hence why i need to be flat and toned there so they are invisible.

I go out, but im not as confident, and i dont feel good about myself in the slightest. Doesn't help that liam is less than tactful, and its well known he likes skinny girls Im determined!!! xx

Hun my stomach is covered!!! My only saving grace is that I am black so it covers it a bit....just a BIT though ..Matthew said he dont mind what size I am, but he couldnt say otherwhise or Id kill him... Well start end of Jan hun, and no you dont sound self centred. You just want to be happy in your skin, and be back to how you used to be. xx

 

[Hayley90]

Liam's the same, but he's the sort of person who'd tell me "erm well i liked you how you were before" instead of "yeah you look amazing!!!" ,.. he'd rather be truthful but avoid the difficult part

Im trying to save up for lazer surgery on the ones around my waistline so i dont have to worry about them peeking out to say hi to random passers-by! That's if the get thin quick plan doesn't work ... this means i'll have to go to the gym though

XX

 

[EternalRose]

Oh I exercise as well as do this. Holly does too x x

 

[Hayley90]

Do powerplates count My david lloyd has them, and its the only thing im good at x

 

[EternalRose]

What is power plates?? a plate full of yummy food that will never make you bigger than a size six forever????

 

[Hayley90]

I WISH!

Its those vibrating things that you stand on, and you do exercises, and stretches. Apparently they are like the equivalent of XX minutes on a treadmill, versus a 15 minute PP workout.

Holly used them before her wedding i think... unless im imagining things! But they are ACE for toning and shaping!! X

 

[EternalRose]

^^^^ I want to have a go on one of them. Although I am disappointed that it wasnt the 'powerplate' I suggested

RIGHT......... Well after all that speel yesterday I have gone back on my decision...

MC will be no more for me. ...I am going to embark on a diet, something I have never done before..

MC has been good to me. I was 18 and a half stone..I am now 15 stone but I need to lose the rest normally now..so I can learn some proper eating habits. Im also joining the gym next week, and hoping to do C25K plan ( Couch to 5k plan - Its an nhs running program) I honestly think this is the best choice for me right now but I will always support anyone else on this thread who wants to do it. Like I said, its definately worth it if you want a quick fix. But I am starting to think, maybe losing weight quickly is not the be all and end all..

Jac has kindly steered me in the direction of Slimming World, I joined WW last year but never really got into it, and I am not sure if that will be right for me with constant point counting and the like. So, I am about to sign up for me SW now. I feel a little sad to know I am leaving the MC behind but I really think I need to start learning some proper dietary habits....healthy lifestyle choices and all that. Ive also turned vegetarian for good now, I have been on this transition thing, where I stopped eating beef, then, chicken, turkey e.t.c We didnt even have meat on Christmas day and I didnt miss it.

Wish me luck, and I will be around xxx

 

[Hayley90]

Awww Mon, good luck with SW!!! That C25K thing sounds good, although id be terrible. Come to my gym you can go on the powerplates there!! I was thinking my post-MC diet would be veggie too, i've done it before with ease, i know i could do it again.

At least you know you can always come back to MC for special occasions... its obviously a good boost for you and you know you can hack it

I will still ask you random questions though... xxx

 

[Hayley90]

[Blah11]

Anyone on this just now? I'm starting tomorrow

 

[Dream.A.Dream]

I don't know whether it's a good idea to start this on sun? So I'll have a week before the wedding. I want to but I'm worried I'll be stressed enough without adding feeling like crap on top x

 

[xxxjacxxx]

A week before your wedding would be pushing it I think Katy as day 5 is usually the bad day. x

 

[Blah11]

Don't do it Katy, you have enough on your plate without doing a detox.. it can bring you out in spots too!

I'm starting Sunday actually, have no lemons

 

[Hayley90]

im starting on payday which is the 25th... well the day after, i want one last blow out

then im going veggie afterwards and ive signed up to my powerplate classes... im raring to go, hope this enthusiasm doesnt go when i start it haha x

 

[Blah11]

I was going to start today cos OH got me some lemons but I forgot and ate like 10 smarties

 

[Blah11]

just had my first lemonade tasty!

 

[Hayley90]

oooh are you starting straight away blah?

Im tempted to do an ease in just to kick start the weight loss.. and get me used to having no substance in any of my meals
