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!

HNY

Well i didn't manage to shift 2lb for the new year, but I did manage 1lb off over Crimbo, so not all bad!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Good luck and let's make 2010 our year!

It's Been Ages

Blimey it's been ages since I last posted something, but now I'm here!

Not been anywhere just been super busy. Anyway the good news is that I have now broken into the 15st bracket!!!!! YAY

All my mini goals are getting closer - 1/2lb til 7st and 2.5lb til 100lb gone!!!

I still think back to last Crimbo when being on a diet never even entered my head, especially when I was wondering down the party food aisle! As a grazer rather than a proper meal eater I still gaze longingly at the boxes of duck spring rolls and prawn skewers, but am delighted to say that I now walk away rather than filling my basket with whatever 3 for 2 offer is on!

Anyway I think that's it's for now, lets hope I've got even better news after next WI on Monday!

Unbelievable!

Having spent the day with that LKD feeling I was not looking forward to WI tonight, not only have I spent the last wek living off the heaviest food I've eaten in months but it is also TOTM, imagine my surprise then when I got on the scales and it read as a 4lb loss!!

I couldn't believe it so I demanded a recount only to find it was true!! HOORAH :O)

This Week update!

So after having a shocking week last week, horrid long days at work and 4 scones with butter, I stil managed a 2lb loss!!! YAY :O)

Hopefully it wont come back and back me on my still fairly substantial a*s! lol

Good luck to everyone x

Yay

Very happy bunny this week, finally managed to break through the 6st barrier!!!!!

Been whittling away at this for months and months and have no finally done it! Here's to the next one :O)

Hmmmmm

Sat here wondering what to write, seems like ages since i last posted something but quite frankly not much has happened! Back at work, weight moving very slowly, still waiting to hit my next stone marker although i am now further into the 16's i sooooooo want to get to the 6st mark.

Workouts at the gym are getting better, if you can call doing high levels for a more sweaty workout getting better! Finally learning to love the horrid cardio-glide machine (L3, 15m), love seeing myself being able to do harder stuff for longer, not so keen on ex-pupils seeing me sweating like mad but i get by! lol

Think that's about it, my 40's are plodding along, not much has changed but hey ho i'm not getting any fatter :O)

Jog On!

blimey I've been a little slack in the posting department just recently, mainly because i have been really hacked off with my lack of progress.

have decided to write off the last few weeks, altho i have been sicking to plan and exercising my weight loss has slowed to a pathetic drip, i mean 4lbs in 6 weeks - grrrrrrrr. now i know i should be happy with that and i guess overall it's OK, but god it's so frustrating! the school holidays have messed my master plan up, i really wanted 6 stone off for my birthday but as that is less than two weeks away and i still have 10lbs to go i don't somehow think that's gonna happen unless i cut a limb off! i never ever thought i would look forward to going back to work just to get my routine back in order and hopefully kick start my weight loss again!

anyway, moving on, i have just measured and I'm pleased to report that there are a few less centimetres of me than the last time i dared face the tape measure :O)

so onto my main news of the week, (cue fanfare.....) i have JOGGED on the treadmill this week!!! aaarrrrgggggghhhhhh thank god it backs onto a wall and no one had to stare at my wobbly buttocks bouncing around! lol but i am sooooo proud of myself altho my knees were less than pleased. now i only managed 3 mins but i truly couldn't get over the fact that i felt happy to do it and in a public place too, i just thought if 17 st rugby players can do it then I'm sure i can have a go and so i did!

well that's enough of my ramblings for now, good luck one and all and HAGW x

5 down!

fantastic news, well for me anyway!

4lbs gone this week bringing my total loss to date to a fabulous 5 stone! still can't believe it!

gonna treat myself with a tattoo for every stone i think, any ideas welcome :O)

good luck this week x

Unbelievable!

So, WI day dawned and as always I was having an LKD. But hey ho, I pootled through the day and went, heavy legged to my meeting.

For a change I was being weighed by my meeting leader and was asked the usual 'how's your week been?' question, so I geared up for a limited loss or even a STS as I have made some changes this week - larger lunches so I'm not sat grazing all night and changed my exercise routine from swimming to using the gym.
Imagine then my absolute SHOCK when I got on the scales and had achieved a mind blowing 7lb loss!! Yes SEVEN pounds!!!!!!
I have to admit to shedding a tear of joy :O)

Even nicer, my leader then presented my with a 'diamond' to commemorate my reaching (and passing) the 60lb mark!

What a fab day. Good luck to everyone still to WI this week x

Maddening!

What is it with the human body eh?? eh?? I swear mine is out to get me!

Most weekends i suffer from LKD's, however this w/end I felt fab, you know the sort of thing - I'd been to the gym, one of the pupils parents said I was looking slimmer, walking on clouds all the way home, felt about 12ft tall!

so...... headed off to WI thinking that's gotta be 3 or 4lbs gone, gotta be. Yea right! stepped on the scales (was going to say jumped but that would just be a lie!) and I'd lost 1lb. OK OK i know that's good and steady but I mean, when I feel like a lump I seem to lose more, ggrrrrrrr

So I'm now hoping for LKD's every weekend and then a good loss!

But, stay positive, it's 1lb closer to goal :O)

Good luck everyone x

Woooooo Hoooooo

2lb loss this week = 4 stone total!!!!

YAY

nuff said :OD

another monday, another WI

so another 1.5lb off this week and another 1.5lb closer to my four stone!

went to the gym yesterday and obviously over worked cos my arms are killing me today! anyway it was worth it for the loss. fingers crossed for next week and hitting the next stone mark!

good luck everyone x

i'm a 50lb-der :O)

oh yes oh yes (doing little dance) passed the 50lb mark tonight and slipped into the 18st bracket aaaarrrggggghhhhhhh I'm so happy i can't even begin to tell you!

hope i get my certificate next week cos i am photographing it and sticking it on here, i really really would never have believed it at Chrimbo if someone had told me I could and can do this. You know what it's like, you've been fat forever and it kinda becomes your default state of being, certainly for me anyway. But here i am 50lb lighter and still loving it!!

have a good week everyone :O) x

woo hoo

\0/ yay just been to WI and have managed to lose a 1lb :O)

that brings my total to 49lbs so far, i really struggle to believe it sometimes!

good luck everyone this week x

Fantastic NSV

Went out last night, first time since NYE, and saw some friends I hadn't seen since that night. Nothing new there, I am incredibly bad at keeping in touch with people, however the first thing one of my friends said was "Oh my god, you've shrunk by half! I almost didn't recognise you!!"
Needless to say I felt fantastic for the rest of the evening :O)

Thanks guys!

Got the LK off in time for WI!

Well I approached the scales still feeling 'heavy', could still feel the LK tugging at my waistline but hoorah, they must have fallen off as I stepped on the scales because I managed a reasonable 2lb loss :O)

Good luck this week everyone x

a loss is a loss is a loss

After last weeks fantastic loss I have only lost 1/2 a pound this week, but unlike the last time I had a small loss I am not being down about it, but staying positive, any loss is a step in the right direction.
So, onwards and upwards or should that be downwards?? lol

Good luck one and all, hope you have a good week :O)

p.s. roll on Wednesday, next Graze box being delivered, a little mid week treat to break the monotony!

Hoorah!

Blimey, after two torturous weeks of only losing 1/2lb total my body has decided to give in to the fact that i am on a diet and I've lost 6lbs this week!
I am over the ruddy moon and although i was hoping for a loss i never expected it to be soooo much

Anyway, back to more mundane things, I have finally decided to check out the Graze Craze and have ordered my first box, mainly because it was free! Not coming til Wednesday so we will see, I'm sure i will get something i don't like even after carefully rating every product!

Gutted

I know i shouldn't moan but I'm just back from WI and I only lost a 1lb :O(

i felt I had worked really hard this week but hey ho, maybe its TOTM, i never know when mine will be ever since i stopped taking my tablets, lets hope it is and i get a good loss next week. Still aiming for my 3st by the end of the month so fingers crossed

We talked about motivation at meeting and I really should have measured myself cos hopefully I've lost inches with all the swimming I've been doing.

Gotta keep on track, good luck everyone this week :O)
