Bad week

Well, this week has been a pretty bad week! Not because I've cheated and been eating loads, but due to one thing another it's been awful! Children poorly, then it was my turn - a trip to the emergency dentist for me followed by anti-biotics. So, whilst I haven't eaten bad food, I've not eaten much fruit and veg either which is completely vital! I've not been too hungry and when I have been I've been in too much pain to eat a lot like a big meal, so been having small snacky foods, which has obviously not done me any good.


Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain +1.5lbs

Total loss: 3st 3lbs

I am a bit gutted but still trying to put it into perspective, I lost weight over Christmas when I had allowed myself a 3lb gain so in the back of my mind I've still done ok, it's just a bit dis-heartening when you have a gain.

I shall pick myself up, dust myself off and go for it, my tooth is feeling a bit better and only have two more days of anti biotics so I will hopefully be back on the loss train next week!

Weigh in!

Well Monday has arrived and it's the first weigh in of the new year. I'm ok but a little apprehensive just due to the fact it hasn't been a full week since last weigh in..only 5 days.

2.1.12

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -0.5lb

Total loss 3st 4.5lbs

Quite a low number but a loss all the same! Considering I did so well last week I keep bearing that in mind. That's 5lbs lost in just under two weeks and over the Christmas period too...I'll take that and run with it thank you :)

More catch up!

More catch up weight losses!

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -1lb

Total loss: 1st 12.5lbs

Halloween!! Tonight I wanted to stay to class but my sister wanted to have a little halloween party and take the kids trick or treating - I did too of course but I was torn. This would be the first time I didn't stay to what is called Image Therapy and I was worried that I may lose focus. But after talking to my sister, mum and Slimming World consultant, I realised its ok to go off and do your own thing, as long as you keep your goals in mind. When I got home my consultant, Debbie, messaged me and told me I had won Slimmer of the Month for October!! Yay! I was very pleased with myself.

7.11.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -3lbs

Total loss: 2st 1.5lbs

A triple whammy tonight for awards! I got my Club 10 - which is an award you get when you have reached a loss of 10% of your body weight, I got my 2 stone award and I got Slimmer of the Week again! I went home on top of the world :)

14.11.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -2.5lbs

Total loss: 2st 4lbs

I'm starting to think I may be able to lose 3 stone before Christmas!!

21.11.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -0.5lb

Total loss: 2st 4.5lbs

I was a tad disappointed with just half a pound, but it was still a loss...I looked back at my losses and realised I have lost every week since I started apart from one gain of half a pound! I felt better.

28.11.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -3lbs

Total loss: 2st 7.5lbs

Another award! I had my 2.5 stone award, Debbie says she's very proud of me and I'm doing really well. I think I agree. The class are asking what I am doing to do so well, I told them I am following the Extra Easy plan and when it comes to having Syns I make myself a syn box each week with most of my syns piled into it. Things like low syn snacks and chocolate - my favourites being Boots Shapers range of crisps, popcorn and chocolate bars...yummy! I'm not really a lover of alcohol so none of my syns are wasted on that, the rest of my syns go on things like gravy, sauces, roasties etc.

5.12.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -2lbs

Total loss: 2st 9.5lbs

December...uh-oh!! I work in a school office so we get lots of treats brought in...I have managed to resist so far! My colleagues are so proud of me and keep telling me so, that's enough to keep me motivated. Thanks girlies :)

12.12.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -2.5lbs

Total loss: 2st 12lbs

Oh my gosh! So close to 3 stone!! 1 weigh in before xmas...!

19.12.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -1.5lbs

Total loss: 2st 13.5lbs

Doh!!!! Half a pound off 3 stone before xmas! I was a bit gutted to be completely honest. I was nervous enough about xmas food as it was but even more so now. For some reason I though if I hit the 3 stone I could relax a little. But I guess in a way it made me more aware of what I was going to be eating over the next week.

28.12.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -4.5lbs

Total loss: 3st 4lbs

I did it! 3 stone off...and not only that I lost 4.5lbs in Christmas week, I was so shocked...not because I'd been terribly naughty with food, but I had allowed myself a couple of treats. I took Debbie's advice and allowed myself the treats on Christmas day and Boxing day but went straight back to food optimising.

Measurements 30.12.11 - Bust: 47 inches (total loss 3in)
                                         Waist: 41.5 inches (total loss 4.5in)
                                          Hips: 52 inches (total loss 4in)

Today (1.1.12) I am now looking forward to the New Year and the new me! I will be going back to the gym, I've not been for quite a few weeks after having a terrible chest infection which affected my asthma..I couldn't have done treadmill and cross trainer coughing and spluttering all over everyone.

I feel so much better now, it's back to work in a couple of days and it's weigh in tomorrow. I have a feeling this year will be a good year for me...and by the time my birthday comes round again in August...I will be a completely different person!

Beginning continued!

I'm back to tell you more about my past weigh ins!

12.9.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Yes! Back on track after the minor (own fault) setback.

19.9.11

Weight - **st **lbs

Loss/gain: -4lbs

Total loss: 12.5lbs

Award! I got slimmer of the week for that week, I was so pleased. I also feel I broke through my six week barrier. Someone told me that if you can get through six weeks on a new eating plan then you've cracked it. It's now starting to feel more like a habit than a struggle. Not that I am struggling with the plan, I follow the Extra Easy plan and it is what it says! You can eat sooo much! I love my potatoes and pasta and rice, but I equally love my chicken and steaks, on Extra Easy I can have both...as much as I like. As long as I fill up on what they call Super Free foods (fruit and veg) then you are going to lose weight. I am enjoying fruit and salads more so I am definitely eating my 1/3 of superfree.

:( but it was expected and glad it was only half! I'd took the kids to McDonalds for lunch as a treat for their last day off before going back to school. Made me feel rubbish...I don't ever want food to make me feel like that again...not worth it!
