Happy!

So WI was not as bad as expected, just the 1/2lb gain, bit of a shock but very very happy with the result, I do not argue with scales!!

Definitely back on the wagon now, think I just needed a week off after being on my journey for 18mts, feel very positive and ready for the remaining challenges!

Good luck all x

Sore Bits!

I need to buy me some padded cycling shorts! lol

Just back from a 2hr bike ride, it was ace, really nice cycle route, but blimey my btm is sore now!

Let's hope this kick starts me getting back on the wagon or back in the saddle even!

Nightmare!

What a shocking week I have had!

Not been able to stop eating all week :O( I'm really annoying myself but I just can't stop!

Fully expecting a massive gain this week, anything less than 7lbs and I will be happy (ish)

On the positive side collected my new bike on Thursday and have been out everyday since, looking forward to riding to work and getting out and about, hopefully this will help get me back on track :O)

Hungry

So I was back to being a loser last week, that's all good, however since WI I have been starving ALL the time, not good!

Did ok all week and managed to resist the call of food, but yesterday I blew it but good! Foolishly bought a box of flapjack and just sat and scoffed the lot! hey ho, WI on Monday so who knows, might have exercised it away :0$

Talking of exercise signed up to a 'pump' class this week, it was ace, very low resistance but lots of repetition with weights. Gotta try and tighten up the ole bingo wings! However I could not move my arms for two days after the class lol

Well, here's hoping for a small gain tomorrow :O) x

Rubbish!!

Another disappointing WI this week :(

Stayed on track, kept within my points by 1 or 2 some days, but still managed a rubbish 1lb gain!!!

Ggrrrrr i have no idea why but I wish it would stop! I suppose I've got so used to losing every week that I am finding this hard to deal with, oh well, keep calm and carry on as they say!

Bit down

feeling a bit low this last week, not like me at all, really having trouble keeping my head around eating properly, i want to blame the fact that i have had so much success and the people that have seen my weight loss are now telling me i must be just about at goal - which is great don't get me wrong, however I know that I have still got the hardest part to do!

i only want to get down to about 12.5 st, but at the moment that feels a long long way away

still, I've not fallen off the wagon completely, even with a massive 3.5lb goal last week (not entirely sure why), just gonna keep my head down and stick to it the best i can

here's hoping for a better WI tomorrow :O) x

Old Friends

Went to meet an old friend of mine today, she has not seen me since i started this journey and I had not told that I was in WW, her face was a picture!
She did the whole double take thing, it was hilarious, made me feel fab, especially since i had decided to wear my new hoop stripey top, yes hoops!!!

Excellent day :O)

very bad me!

gone a bit crazy since hitting the 9st gone mark!

although i bought some size 14 trousers and they fit just fine, i have been on an eat-athon since Monday! chomped my way through massive bags of crisps, hot cross buns, bread, bread and more bread!!!!

aaarrrrggggghhhhhhh

hey ho, luckily I'm on holiday so plenty of time to get into the gym!

only good news!

Been a good week this week, even though I managed to demolish and ENTIRE pack of jaffa cakes all to myself!
Had some fab NSV's, not being recognised by a friend, people (men) being generally helpful - this never happened before WW!

And the BEST news is that I reached the 9st gone for ever mark this week!!! \0/ yay

Been pfaffing around yo-yoing up and down for weeks and weeks but finally broke through the barrier tonight!

Have an excellent week one and all

13 again!

blimey, i've made it, hit the just less than 14st mark tonight taking me down into the 13st bracket since, well, since i was 13 probably!!!

had a crappy week food wise too, but on the other hand have had loads of NSV's, let me list them.....
1. met a parent at the gym who said i had really slimmed down since he had last seen me sweating it out about 4 wks ago
2. a random woman at the gym just felt she had to come and tell me how well i was doing and that she could really tell had lost loads of weight
3. the best one as far as i'm concerned - decided to buy a pair of size 14 jeans off ebay in preparation for the next clothes size drop, they arrived and i thought i might try them on just to see how much i had to go and joy of joys they fit me! in fact they are a little too big around the waist YAY :O)

thats' all my good news for now, next mini goal is to get the the 9st mark, only 3.5lb to go!

have a good week everyone x

Is it really possible?

Went to meet a friend today at Meadowhall, not seen her for2 yrs so her face when she saw me was priceless!
Anyway we basically spent 5hrs wondering around the shops, plus a lovely lunch at Nando's and my WW pedometre said that we had walked 9 miles!!!! Is this really possible?? Hope so need all the AP to counterbalance the cream and jam scone i scoffed! lol

Crazy!

Been a few days since last I was here, just reporting in really :O)

1. crazy weight loss this week, a mind boggling 6.5lb! not sure how or why, but I'll take it!
2. that took me past the 8.5 stone mark and plummeting towards the 13's
3. it also took me down into the 100's which is something I could never have believed possible a year ago
4. finally, decided to buy a new pair of jeans today, thought it best as my current size 18's fall down, having wandered around the jeans in asda decided to take a few pairs in to try. Never used to try stuff on when I was fatter, now I find the sizes really vary so have to, still hate it tho. Anyway, found a few pairs, as I said, and was busy rejecting them one by one when I put on a pair that fitted OK except for having a really low waist, I ummed and ahhed and put them to one side whilst I tried another pair. I liked the final pair, a 16, bit big on the waist but nice on my still thunderous thighs! Being a good shopper I was rehanging my rejects on the hangers and had to do a double take, the pair I was unsure about were actually a 14!!! aarrrgghhhh I almost let out a scream of joy, I checked the hanger - 16, checked the jeans - 14, checked the jeans again - still a 14!!! couldn't believe it, I HAD GOT A PAIR OF SIZE 14 JEANS ON AND THEY HAD FIT!!! Admittedly they were a slouch fit, but even so, I would have bought them had it not been for the low waist, which i don't like. Unbelievable, have to admit to doing a little dance of joy in the changing rooms!

Take care and good luck all x

Finally

Blimey I have finally got through the 8st gone barrier, what a roller coaster month January was, put a load on over New Year, then lost it all following week, then another little gain, then another little gain, I began to think that I would never get passed the 8st mark!
However, have managed to get my head around it again this week and shifted a wonderful 4lb taking me through and a little beyond it!! Hoorah and about time!

I've had a few nice comments recently to, especially from people that have seen me through my entire journey, saying that I can't have got much more to lose etc. I suppose it's all relative I must look pretty thin compared to how I was, but if they knew how much I still weighed I should imagine they would change their mind! Personally I'm thinking at least another couple of stone, I know for a fact that unless a miracle occurs I will never reach my official WW target band, I just think that that is a little too much!

New Pic

Decided it was time for a piccie update, so finally plucked up the courage to get infront of the camera and have now added to the page!

I have to admit I like it!

Hope everyone had a good New Year x
