Determination

by juliettedreams @ 2008-02-28 - 14:34:31

Day 44 ~ That magic half way point is moving ever closer :D

Tuesday was the weekly weigh-in (am thinking that a fortnightly weigh-in would be more inspiring) ;)

I lost another 2.7 pounds
Bringing my total weight loss so far to :yes: 1 stone 4 1/2 pounds :yes:
Average weight loss 3.2 pounds a week ~ not bad!

My scary BMI is now sitting at 28.9 :p
I am aiming for a healthy 25 (in my dreams? :lalala:)

I am suddenly finding food very very tempting again :-/ ~ there doesn't seem to be any particular physical reason for this, more a psychological sort of "I've done so well, a small treat seem to be in order" vibe :roll:

So......I MUST STAY DETERMINED!!! :o

We have reached week 7, half way through the CBT. S talked to us about crooked thinking and I had one of those :idea: moments where what she was saying really made absolute sense - I could relate to it completely.
Unfortunately there were no tips on how to alter this way of thinking about things...maybe that will be next time?

Our group was very thin on the ground this week :( (no pun intended) :D
only 7 of us and there is generally a bit of a tired feeling, like anything else...I suppose motivation waxes and wanes.
Personally, I need to attend every week. It is a really important part of the programme for me :yes:

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”

Hey there, well done on the loss! That's great in the amount of time you've been doing the plan.
My first weigh in tomorrow night. Hoping for a good 'un - keep your fingers crossed!
Onwards and downwards!

Good luck for Tomorrow!
I am positive that you will be thrilled with your initial weight loss & it will inspire you to carry on :)
I found the 'sisterhood' vibe really helpful too!
Let me know how you go ~ if you look back at my first weigh-in it was teeny...so I am sure you will do better than me!!
*hugs*

I'll let you know how I get on. Am dreading that 'weight watchers' moment where you get on the scales only to be told 'stayed the same' or 'one (or two or three!) on' I can't see how I can POSSIBLY not have lost anything! I feel that for every litre of water I've drunk I've pee'd about five! It's so dilute I swear I could bottle it and sell it as mineral water!

I read your first weigh in post and can understand how gutted you were - I would feel exactly the same - and nothing would drive me to the petrol station and the chocolate counter faster - so well done you for not going down that route.

Finger crossed!

Hi Juliette - lost 6lbs at my first weigh in last night! Am delighted!

Feel really inspired to carry on.

Am hoping to shift 4 stone in the 14 weeks.

Hope all is well with you!
