Thought I'd start this weeks thread as I have done rubbish and thought I'd annoy myself by writing that we are on week 8 and Im 2lb lighter than when we started.
2lb in 8 weeks - great!!!!!!!!! I might as well not be any lighter for all the difference that makes!!
Im gutted that I've let myself do so badly. And today - with it being so lovely and hot, i've been in the garden this afternoon and sitting in my combats and t-shirt, while what I'd really like to be sitting outside in is a strapless top and denim shorts - fed up with it!!
I need to excercise too!!!!! I have been looking at getting a bike and going cycling in the evenings with my friend as we live close to each other and their are cycle paths everywhere where we live. So maybe I should just bite the bullet and get one, I really enjoy cycling but I'd feel really self concious on a bike just now!
Any hoo - im back to trying again, whoever said 'diets don't work' I think they had a point. Its really not a diet I need, its a total lifestyle change!!!
How's everyone else getting on?
Angel - you seem to be a bit down in the dumps with it all too.

Hi Lana
What a shame you are not doing to good but hey at least you have lost a few pounds It could have been worse you could have put on a stone these last 8 weeks if you would not have been trying a little
A bit fed up is a understatment for myself It is my sons wedding on the 30th I wish I could at least lose a stone before then but I think that is only going to work if I starve
I went shopping at the weekend and honest nothing seems to fit I think it has made me really angry with myself
It is alright everyone saying dont worry and you look fine or...you are not as fat as you think you are I just feel horrible
More shopping at the weekend I can not find a outfit so I am in a panic now
Hope everyone else is doing better ?
Angel x

i get weighed on thursday and i have no doubt whatsoever that i'm either the same or have gained. Why does it have to be so difficult eh? I know how you must be feeling angel, my bil got married 6 weeks after i had emily and i had put on 5 stone (yes 5) I found it so hard trying to find something nice to wear. I must have spent hundreds of pounds buying stuff, trying it all on then taking it back feeling even more disheartened. Ended up with a suit from Asda, I hope you find something you like Angel, I know it doesn't matter what people say it doesn't change the way you feel but lets face it you're not exactly huge are you.
Lana, I would not worry about looking a sight on a bike, like Angel, you're not exactly huge either go out and buy one you'll feel so much better for it.

Oh Caroline you are so sweet I feel huge though when I can not get anything that fits me Thanks all the same at least you all know how I feel
I saw a lady today she must have been about 30 stone it was really horrible to see she could hardly sit on the bench and it took her a while to get herself down onto it She was sweating and huffing and puffing She smiled at me and said " I know people are laughing but I am crying inside because I do not want to be this person "
It was such a shame because we all do judge people when they are really that big she could have been like that for many reasons but I felt sad really that she could do nothing about it
Then another story my daughter who is size 8 / 10 tried on an outfit this evening and came down with a face on her " mom look at my belly I look pregnant do I look fat in this ?" WHAT !!!!
My point being I think no matter what size we are women will always complain !!!!
Angel xx
