Bad girl warning...
:wavey:
Hey guys how are you all getting on? Just popping in to say 'hi' and I haven't forgotten you all. I'm doing really well on CCing, after a bit of a 'between diets' blow out on a weekend away I had put on a few pounds but since then I've lost 11lbs in 5 weeks and am just about to break through under the 11st barrier so that will be a huge milestone. I'm amazed at how well I'm doing, I wouldn't have believed I was capable of it but I'm right in the swing of it now.
Hope you're all happy and well and losing away, I've missed your chatter, the CC board is a LOT quieter than here!
I did have a bit of a set back when I first started CCing, though. I went to have my flu jab and the nurse wanted to weigh and measure me, I told her my weight and height but she wanted to do it anyway. When I said I was 5' 7" she looked like she didn't believe me and started measuring away. I said "Oh, yes, well it's either 5' 7" or 5' 6", somewhere around there... 5' 6 and a half?" I coud see by her face that this wasn't quite right, and then she said "Actually you're more like 5' 5"..." !!! I was absolutely horrified. I can't remember where I got the impression that I was 5' 7" but I've been believing it for years and years! I don't mind being shorter at all at all, I am what I am and all that, but of course my BMI instantly jumped a couple of points! Nightmare!
So I've adjusted my target weight accordingly - and suddenly had a whole lot more to lose.
Oh well, it's as well to know these things I suppose. Honestly, what kind of nitwit doesn't even know how tall they are?!
I may come back to Atkins for maint when I've got to goal, I still think it's a good WOE and seems to work as a maint programme. Plus I miss the chatter!
