succesful saturday at last!

First Saturday in around 4 weeks I've pointed and I was actually below my points! Ate 15.5 of my 18 points so a few extra in the bank! Quite night in def helps! YES! Hopefully a good week ahead!

so close yet so far!

dam! was so close to goal and no seem to be getting further away! aaaaaaa! this time of year is no good if your trying to be good! hopefully this week i can claw back a few pounds this week. I better as dont want to return after new year to a big gain! wanted to be at goal for 4th of Jan but now its looking unlikely unless can manage to loose 5.5lb over christmas! hmmmm doesnt sound likey! :-( gutted!! Will try my best! Even 1 little lb this week would be good!

dreaded weigh in

decided to go to wi as no point in being in denial. Last fri, wedding reception, sat a birthday bash so was good all week and managed to stay the same!! woop woop! i know its nothing really to be pleased about but at least its not again! so 3 weeks till christmas and 4.5lb to loose. that means a loss on 1.5lb till christmas day! the mission is on! Offically 4th of jan is the one year anniversary of joining ww so better be at target by then!! aaaaaaaaaaaa! so close!

not going so well!

im sooo close to goal and im mucking it up. i know i have put on as can feel it in my clothes, my mood is awful and i feel like i could just eat everything in sight! why am i wasting it for myself?! got wi tomo and know it will just make me feel worse as i will have put on! iam sticking to my points but not able to excercise due to back problems at the moment :-( managed to get in the pool and start swimming so will just need to stick to that and stop the munchies. dreading the scales tomorrow. need to go if not the disaster will continue......wish me luck!

- 1.5lb

For the first time I feel really pleased with myself. I lost 1.5lb today, got my 5th silver 7 and now only 2.5lb from my target! Feels like it as achievable now! Think when I see 10.00 st on the scales I might scream!! Hopefully be able to manage it in the next 2 weeks! However got a hen night tomorrow, then 2 wedding receptions and a birthday party all in the next couple of weekends. Just means I need to be supper good during the week! I feel so excited!! :-)

weigh in - sts

Unfortunately stayed the same this week at weigh in. Not too bad i guess, I have the feeling that now I'm feeling better and have been out at the weekend its not so easy to be good! Still have to have some fun so STS isn't so bad! This weeks plan (well 3 days left till WI, never realised that's all that is left!) is to drink plenty of water and write everything down. I was going to update my photos but I looked at ones from last weekend and felt gutted. I looked very chunky, gutted as I actually felt and thought i looked good. Think i need to learn how to hold myself and dress differently! Work in progress!

4 lb till traget!

I have been off the raider for a while from this due to hurting my back and been very unwell from it! I was worried that it would hamper my weight loss as i was unable to exercise. I have stuck to weight watchers and through the though times with my back I lost my appetite completely. I was then worried that the pounds would pile back on. My appetite has since came back and I have just stuck to weight watchers. I have now currently lost 34lb! 4lb till my target! Got weigh in tomorrow so hopefully less! I am now slowly allowed to do a couple of exorcises all under strict control of my physio which is really good as after 3 months of not being able to do anything it feels like a bot of normality. Now only 6 months till my wedding. I get measured for my wedding dress in November, just hope i don't crack under the pressure! Fingers crossed another wee pound off tomorrow. I thought it would be great loosing weight, and it is, but now I don't have any clothes that fit me and I'm saving hard for my wedding so cant justify going out and spending my money on clothes! The joys!!

here comes the bride!

ok.....fresh start for me. Been off the wagon for around 8 weeks and put on 4lb, but now i have a lovely diamond on my left hand its enough motivation to get me back on track! I don't want to be a chunky bride so i need to get my self together and back into action! Only 9 1/2 months till the wedding so i need to get my act together as only myself to blame if i dont look and feel how i want to! However when i put too much presure on myself thats when i start to crack! Fingers crossed, wish me luck.

Oops

Oops missed my weigh in this weekend. Sometimes i find it hard with my shifts, most week i find other classes but this week it didn't work out. Was considering getting a personnel trainer but decided to get a plan made up for me at the gym. Only 6 weeks to my holidays so going to give it a big push! It's only Tuesday and been to the gym twice already. Feeling sore but just need to try keep it up. Not sure how weigh in will go this week as fell off the wagon at the weekend there, fingers crossed i can claw it back for Friday. I've limited myself to 18points thins week to give me a wee kick start hopefully. Got lunch and dinners sorted for rest of the week, I'm night shift at the weekend so that should keep me out of trouble!

week 1 bikini boday challenge weigh in!

Went to weigh in today and lost 1lb so that's a loss of 20lb so far. Not bad considering I done no exercise for nearly 2 weeks due to the cold however I can do better so head down, get to the gym for next weeks weigh in.

Week 1 - Bikini body challenge continued

Week 1 of the bikini body challenge hasn't went quite to plan. Had a really bad cold so been pretty floored with that so my days off this week have been spent trying to breath and catch up on my sleep, so not been able to go out running or do any exercise. Monday and Tuesday at work were very stressful and unfortunately found myself having some chocolates to keep me going as i missed my afternoon break. Apart from that i haven't done anything else bad, fingers crossed when i get weighed on sat all will be good. Bit nervous as i usually do exercise through out the week. Not going to my usual class so going to find one to go to on sat morning. Our team doesn't seem to be doing the best at the moment but guess won't know who has the lead until all results are in! Hope mt weigh in result will be a good one!

Week 1 - Bikini body challenge

Week one is under way for the bikini body challenge. I'm in team Daytona, i have set myself the target to loss 14lb in 10 weeks. However just realised it is 8 weeks till I'll be donning a bikini so its 14lb in 8 week, oh dear sound a bit adventurous. I think there are around 70 people in the challenge, we are all split into 3 teams, whatever team loses the most in the 10 weeks wins. There is weekly winner and sinner boards etc just for some fun! Everyone enters their weekly weigh in and it runs from there. Lets hope i don't let the team down in the first week, wouldn't want to be the first to have a gain! To be continued...........

i hate sundays!

Had a good eating weekend this week! The only thing that usually puts a spanner in the works are nights out, but this weekend I've got the cold so a quiet one it was. Due to having the cold I've not done any exercise though but hopefully my good eating and my full day of spring cleaning (wonder how many bonus points i earned?!) should keep me on track. A Sunday also means that, if I'm not working, i get all the recipe books and weight watcher magazines out and plan the recipes for the week ahead. I write a shopping list then head to Tescos. I must admit i hate the shopping part, don't mind looking up what to have, i also quite enjoy cooking all the things but hate going to the shops! I did try online shopping once but made a bit of a mess of it, ended up with about 200 carrots!! It was zero point carrot soup for lunch that week! oops! Now the shopping is in the fridge, the house is nice and clean, here is to a good week ahead! No reason why it shouldn't be! Well, hopefully work won't be to stressful as that's when i feel the need for a chocolate, they are a bit like pringles, once you pop you just cant stop. Before you know it you are 8 points down and still hungry! Wednesday and Thursday are my days off so out for a run on those two day. Can't make my meeting on Friday so will have to find another one on either Thurs or Sat. Fringers crossed for a good loss!

Welcome

Welcome to my first every blog. This blog will follow my fight against the fat! I joined Weight Weight Watchers on 4th of January 2009 as part of my new years resolution. I was feeling very fat and realised that I was the only one that could do something about it so off to weight watchers I trotted. The motivation behind my fight against the fat are; an amazing holiday I am going on in June and also being a bridesmaid for my cousin in September. So far to date I have lost 19.5lb. I've had my ups and downs, unfortunately when you seem to start a healthy eats plan (I don't use the word diet, it makes me put on weight!) lots of social events come out of the wood work. I'm not going to let the healthy eating plan get in my way of living, I am trying to incorporate it into my everyday life to make it more of a long term change of habit, therefore, in the hope that the weight does not sneak back on. Welcome along on my journey to a slimmer, healthier me!
