Hi there all you summer slimmers.
I noticed that there haven't been any posts in nearly a week.
I wanted to ask how everyone is getting on with there individual goals.
I am on a bit of a weight loss mission myself, I have always been a size 6 top and 8 bottom but I am currently a 10 top and 12 bottom.
I was aware of things going down hill following a 2nd lot of surgery which involved incisions in my stomach. After this I appeared to have lost the toned flat stomach, I was no bigger I just lost the muscle definition and in it's place there was just a little podge. It wasn't until 12 months after my op when I was put on hormone medication that the weight started to pileon. I managed to control the weight gain for the first 6 months, as soon as I put a bit on I'd crash diet to shift it and then in 2 months I put on 3 stone which left my covered in stretch marks. I came off the hormone medication in October and without changing my diet or anything I've lost about a stone, now I've hit a brick wall, I have started the gym and go two mornings a week however due to being busy at work I've had a few weeks off, back to normal next week. I don't have a bad diet, I don't eat any fried food, my portion sizes are a good size, I like my chocolate but don't over do it and i dont drink fizzy drinks.
Does anyone else struggle to eat three meals a day at reasonable times? I find I'm often too busy to eat during the day and regularly work late which means eating late or not at all. I know this is a real problem, I just don't know the best way around it.
Anyway I've got till October to get the next 2 stones off in time for my wedding. I have to admit that I've always wanted to be a size 12 but it's just not me. I feel sorry for celebs cos when I was an 6/8 everyone use to say I was too thin and I use to get accused of having an eating disorder now I get called fat all the time (my gran can be a real cow about weight) I'm just grateful I don't have the press going on about it too!
I've just realised what a rant I've had, sorry guys!
Best of luck to everyone else! Xxx
Oh sweetheart that's not good is it, are you still on the hormone stuff? And just asking what's your weaknesses as mine is cheese, I know I went on a hormone treatment and I packed on the weight. My ankles always seem to be a little podgy but recently the doctor did put me on a mild water tablet to take the water off me a little as I'm standing allday and getting flooding in the ankles. However I've found now the fluid retention is off I'm feeling loads more energetic the disadvantages is I'm weeing a little more than usual. I'm not for one moment saying that it's fluid with you but my doctor did say we can hold so much extra fluid after hormone treatment. Now summers coming we eat differently and we walk more and sweat more so in the summer we do tend to weigh a little less than the winter months. I defo agree with you though there's to much media pressure on us to look thin especially with professions. My gran says "eh up dok your getting a lovely big bum on you" right in front of a new boyfriend the other day I could killed her so my lovely your not on your own. Your going to look stunning on your wedding day and gaining a fab hubby who loves you for you x
