Hello Lovelies and welcome to Diamonds In The Rough!
You all are now part of the Diamond League. We, DiamondsInTheRough (DITR) compete against DiamondDolls (DD) and the LittleDiamonds (LD) each week. The group with the most weight lost at the end of each week is the winner. Who will be crowned victorious? We will of course! You must weigh in every FRIDAY (I will have a link posted in the blog where you can do this). I will not be accepting late entries! If for some reason this is not possible for you please contact another team mate (preferably your partner) to weigh in for you. There are a couple ways to win each week. We can win by losing more weight than the LD’s and DD’s, your team (blue, pink, yellow) can win for losing the most weight out of the group, and you can individually win by being the biggest loser on your team!
The challenge lasts a total of 4 weeks, with each week beginning with a new thread started on Monday. The thread will contain the winners of that week and any other information you may need for that week. Please visit the weekly thread often and answer the QOTD’s.
This is going to be fun ladies! We are here to motivate and support one another!! I hope you all are as excited about the upcoming 4 weeks as I am!!

~Jennifer

    I will start today off with the QOTD to get things rolling!
    What is one thing that you are most looking forward to when you hit your goal weight?
    My response: Shopping! I can’t help but have such a shallow answer, I love clothes!! I look forward to being able to grab ANYTHING out of my closet, have it fit, and look good! Oh, I also can’t wait till my thighs don’t rub together!
    What about you?

    I can't wait until I don't feel so self-conscious anymore! I want to be able to just throw on some clothes and walk out the door, not check myself from every view in the mirror and change 50 times haha.

    I am going to have to agree with shopping! Being able to squeeze into a pair of my daughter's jeans will be awefully fun too!

    While I can't wait to go into my favorite store (Charlotte Rousse) and pick out whatever I want and know it will fit, I can't wait for a boyfriend to be able to lift me! I know this sounds way silly, but when I was smaller, I loved it when my boyfriend would lift me up in a hug and spin me around. Now, I am so afraid I will hurt someone that I won't allow it! Now, I am single at the time being (and hating it!!) but I want to know that when I do find someone, he can lift me!

    The sense of accomplishment .... knowing that I've lost all the weight I want/need to and moving forward.

    Great question Jennifer!! SO excited to get to know all of you be the end of the four weeks!! Anyone else in the DC area??

    Ill be excited to look good in ANYTHING. right now im in the middle of losing weight so nothing fits!! and I'm not about to buy clothes that fit me right now.. I dont want to get too comfy in it and accept my weight, 5% of the money I earn a week goes into my new wardrobe! Too excited to grab seconds on anything or late night snack, we're better than that! It makes me want to go to the gym right now just thinking about it! (I just might after this post!) hahah

    Looks like I'm off to the gym! Have a great day ladies, lets come out with a bang this week and show the other Diamonds what we're made of!

    I can't wait to fit into smaller clothes too, and to be considered small. But I think having that feeling of accomplishment is going to be the main thing I look forward to. It's kind of like the excitement you feel when you graduate. It's very freeing.

    I look forward to the sense of accomplishment I will have when I hit and maintain my goal weight. I know that my family will be proud of me too.

    Accomplishment! Showing myself and everyone in my life that I can do it....and keep it off! I have a pair of pant from highschool that I am going to fit in once I reach my goal, and I am going to show them off proudly!

    I'm looking forward to being able to buy jeans and not have to worry about my flabby mummy tummy hanging over the top lol. I also shan't to feel comfortable in my own skin something that I have never done before. Plus the main one is to be able to fit into motorcycle leathers I have textiles at the moment and they just aren't the same.

    Its nice to meet you all by the way and I'm looking forward to our next 4weeks together

    I too just want to feel good about the way I look. I tend to compare myself to "skinny" girls alot and I don't want to do that anymore.... I want to BE the skinny girl!

    Hi Ladies!!!

    Looking forward to kicking some butt this time around! In 4 weeks I am going to be SO much hotter!!

    What is one thing that you are most looking forward to when you hit your goal weight?
    I am looking forward to feeling good. I am so paranoid that people are staring at me thinking that I am fat. I want to be able to go out and not worry that people are going to make comments about my weight. I want to look like I fit in with my family- they are all thin. I look forward to running around with my sons and playing with them. I look forward to bending over to pick them up and not having my tummy roll over my pants.

    And SHOPPING! =)

    Have a lovely day, Diamonds!!! <3<3

    Today's question is a difficult one for me as I have yet to set a goal weight, I am currently aiming for 145lb as this is the top end
    of my range to keep my bmi in healthy. But I also don't want to be right on the border so a 1lb gain would put me overweight.
    So i think perhaps knowing that my overhang is not as big as my bust and it won't prevent me wearing smaller trousers.

    I am really looking forward to being able to feel more comfortable. Right now I feel so self conscious every time we go out somewhere and I usually just wear one of my husband's baggy t-shirts with jeans so I don't bring any attention to myself. I hate when the kids want to go swimming and the whole family is in the pool and I'm just sweating it out on the side. I'm also looking forward to being able to go shopping for new clothes. I don't really want to buy anything right now because I don't want them to be too big in a couple weeks like the jeans I just bought (Plus I get depressed whenever I go try on any clothes). Also, on a related topic....have you all noticed how many pieces of clothing you have to buy as a girl just to make one outfit? That doesn't make clothes shopping any better.

    Aha i am in the right place confusion fixed!:bigsmile:

    I'm not really sure what i'm looking forward to my goal weight seems so far away at the moment. I suppose that i'm looking forward to feeling less self concious and being able to go to our local swimming pool again. I've not wore a swimming costume since is was 10.

    Looking amazing finally for once in my life and being able to wear and choose whatever I want, whether it's fitted or loose or whatever! I want to be spoilt for choice :)

    This will sound crazy but I love to look at shoes, and dream about shoes... trouble is, I can't wear a lot of the types of shoes I love. I can't wait to be able to wear the high heels that look totally outrageous and be able to walk comfortably in them!

    Not thinking about my weight-- I am so tired to being aware of my size every day. I really look forward to living my life without worrying if my shirt is clinging to a fat roll, without being embarrassed to be in a swimsuit, without worrying about crowding the person next to me on an airplane, etc.

    Yeah, me too and mostly I want to feel more comfortable so I can have uninhibited sex, which requires someone be able to lift me and for me not to run out of breath after a minute and a half.

    Ooooh - Lately I have been really motivated by shopping. My local mall has so many fabulous (and expensive...but that's what sales are for) stores and my closest buddy at work and his wife always wear the best clothes.

    Although...maybe the thing I am most looking forward to right at this moment is not feeling like I have to suck my belly in when I am walking outside and people can see me .... which is what I just spent an hour doing.

    (PS First time Diamond, SO excited!)

    I agree with this 100%!!!

    Hey Diamonds! I'm reaching out to you all to let you know that I need your help this week, especially today. I'm in the office all by myself this week. And two of my biggest emotional eating triggers are being lonely and bored. Please keep me motivated to not overeat. I already had an early snack, in which I ate too much. I'm just going to brush it off, not feel guilty, and move on. But I need your support to keep me from unneccessary snacking. Thanks girls!
