Thin at 30

Well i'm backkkkkkkkkkkk....................

2010-06-14T19:39:00.000+01:00

After struggling for what seems like eternity i seem to have my groove back. I have had a succession of losses with no gains for at least 4-5 weeks!!!

I have been very lapse in my dieting/excercise/blogging. However i am back and feeling refreshed, ready to battle this bulge AGAIN~ Whilst i havent given up at any stage i have not been as good as i could of been.

I did the midnight walk, managed to raise £132 for St.Helena Hospice, finished it in 2hrs 33 mins which i am very pleased about and will most definitly be doing it again next year!
Very proud of myself for doing at as this time last year i wouldn't of even contemplated doing it.
I did it with Claire and Laura a couple of the mums from my daughters school, wish id of got a picture to put on here but i wanted to travel light.... haha.

I am not doing so bad on the weight front either had my weigh in today and am finally near the end of the dreaded 14's ............currently weighing 14st 0.5lb.........Soooo close i can taste it!

Next week will definitly be my week, Sarah my leader is on holiday for 2 weeks so we have a replacement leader for that time called Kirsty!
It is my aim to be well into the 13's before Sarah returns possibly even get my next Silver 7.........5.5lb away???
We will see eh?!?!

I think i will list some upcoming mile stones for me see how long it takes me to achieve them:

1~1lb til next stone bracket {NOT BEFORE TIME}.
2~10.5 lb til my 75lb loss cert & 35.5 lb til 100lb loss cert with WW.
3~5.5 lb til next Silver 7 {13.9}
4~13.11 = 6.5 st loss
5~13.4= 7 st loss
6~13.2= Silver 7
7~12.11= 7.5st loss
8~12.9= Silver 7
9~12.4= 8st loss
10~12.2= Silver 7
11~11.11= 8.5st loss
12~11.9= Silver 7
13~11.4= 9st loss
14~11.2= Silver 7
15~10.11= 9.5st loss
16~10.9= Silver 7
17~10.4=10st loss
18~10.2= Silver 7
19~9.11=10.5st loss
20~9.9= Silver 7 & GOAL!!!!!!!!

Weigh in & NSV.........

2010-02-01T17:45:00.000Z

I woke up pretty early this morning even managed to straighten my hair and despite knowing i was going to gain maybe 1/2 - 1 lb i was feeling pretty motivated.

Well i got to weigh in and asked to be weighed before hand as opposed to after the meeting {as i am a clerk} i actually put on 1.5 lb :-(

I didn't expect it to be that much BUT it has been my own fault - Gone over points most days and not excercised hardly atall!

So i draw a line under that and now weighing 14st 9lb i need to really knuckle down if i want to get to my goal of being in the 13's for my birthday, Which to be fair looks bleak now 10lb in 4 weigh ins??? Not likely is it?

I will however do my best, i have stuck to my meal plan so far with exception of a milky way and a bread roll with my tea.......so i should just still be within my points as i havent had my dessert yet!

I have to say it was lush but very garlicky lol i can still taste it now good job my better half isn't here hehe {the fumes would knock him out for sure!}

My Nsv was as i was walking down to the school this morning a lady i have seen on many an occasion but not chatted to said " Can i just say- You have done sooo well you can really really see such a big difference in you. You are looking really good."

All i could muster was a " ahh thankyou! " I find such comments both boosting and embarrasing!

Then i scurried off kids in tow to school..........before going to my meeting!

I have decided that i want something to commemorate my hard work in losing weight lots on the ww forum mention bracelets.........now i do like a bangle or 2 myself lol so i have had a look and found A bracelet i would like to signify my loss!

It looks quite strong and is actually the cheapest one - i prefer the fastener on it thats all. I will get myself a charm for every 7lb lost which means if and when i get one i owe myself 11 beads already.

I actually walked to the school this afternoon and then home again..was absolutely freezing i hope we don't get any more snow!!

I don't think i will get a sitter either so i will be doing an excercise dvd and my wii workout straight after the other!!

So for now i am going to get the kids sorted with reading etc then bath and bed for them ready for me at 7pm to get a sweat on!!

Cyas Kel~x~

Well here i am again.........

2010-01-31T19:18:00.001Z

Back with a PLAN as promised!!!

I have planned my food for monday so far will do the rest tonight and i aim to blog every day and report my menu......1- to encourage me to blog and 2- keep myslef motivated!!

I have planned my excercise regime however it is as follows:

Monday: Wii 45mins & 30 mins Ex Dvd or Swimming if i can get a sitter.

Tuesday: Wii 45mins, Gym 30 mins.

Wednesday: Wii 45mins, Gym 30mins.

Thursday: Wii 45mins & Swimming or Ex Dvd if i can't get sitter.

Friday: Wii 45mins, Gym 30mins.

Saturday: Wii 45mins, Gym 30mins.

Sunday:Wii 45 mins plus either a long walk/swimming with the kids.

{might be hard by myself}.

On top of that i am going to try and walk as much as i possibly can weather permitting.

I do have my brother coming to stay from saturday coming though so it might be a little tricky or even easier with sitters etc, so we will see how it goes every night i will report what exactly i have done.

Monday's menu will be :-

After weigh in{brekkie} - 100g Grapes/Go ahead Oat cake = 2.5pt

Lunch - Tesco sarnie/a pkt of ww crisp bakes & an Apple = 6.5pt

Dinner - Garlic chicken & pasta/side salad, ww ice cream pud = 10pt

Leaving me with 3pts for a treat or to save.

Sounds ok in theory let's hope it pays off next weigh in!!

See you tomorrow with my next installment of my weekly food diary!

Not Feeling It.........think i need a PLAN!

2010-01-30T18:07:00.000Z

Hi guys,

I feel like i have been neglecting my blog ever so slightly. I have been logging on looking at it then off again i just can't seem to find what to write........

But today i am determined to write somthing. As i havent blogged since the 13th January and this is ment to help me through my journey whilst losing weight.

I haven't been going to the gym as religiously as i had been, since they closed over xmas - which is appalling i really need to make some plans and stick to them!!! I have been just not the 4-5 i used to just odd ones here and there.

I had planned to do alot on my last blog but not much of it materialized.......lost a little motivation and the cold weather doesnt really help much - who am i kidding just me making excuses.

So today and tomorrow i am intending to PLAN my Week ahead....My weigh in is Monday morning and to be honest i think i will be lucky to get a STS result. I desperately want to be in the 13 stone bracket for my 30th in 5 weeks time - I currently weigh 14~7.5 { I deteste those bloomin half's LOL }.

So i figure with 5 weigh in's to go if i aim for 2lb a week i can possibly just make it IF i pull my finger out and PLAN PLAN PLAN!!!

Does anyone else think it is asking to much to manage that kind of loss???

Hope i can do it, I have a couple of night's out planned for my birthday one with my friends and family we are going out dressed as school girls lol........Well i have never been one for dressing up whilst being alot bigger so thought i felt confident enough to do it now...ha ha should be a scream i will post a cple of pics!

The second one is slightly more reserved and is with the mums from my daughter's school, we are going for a meal then bowling! Quite often a night out is organised within the group so it's nice to do that for somthing different. I don't know what i will wear for that as i would of liked it to be a dress but with going bowling id look rather fetching in a dress and socks with bowling shoes lol...........not a great look i feel!

I just realised i would of been having my 2nd asessment at the gym in 3rd week of feb if i had of been going regularly as before now i don't know when it will be.........its every ten weeks completed on your members card so i will work it out tomorrow as i AM going to the gym. It is arranged with my Mum to watch Lucy, whilst my Dad takes Sophie & Katie over the local fields to learn to ride there bikes........Once they can, i will go biking with them. Have only used my bike twice to the annoyance of Colin {my Bf}, but i WILL start using it more!!

I am off now as i am starting to waffle i will be back shortly with my plan though if not tonight it will be tomorrow ........Watch this space!

ttfn Kelly xx

Where has the time gone........

2010-01-13T19:58:00.001Z

Well i havent blogged since the 6th of january.....in that time all i have seen is snow snow oh and more snow lol.

I had my 1st official Weigh in of the new year on monday morning and am VERY VERY happy to report beyond my wildest expectations a 4lb loss!!!!

Takes me nicely to 14st 6lb and i got that *silver 7* i previously mentioned. I also got a turquoise gem as a token from my leader. :0)

4lb away from my next one.......so watch this space. I was looking at my losses and in 15 months i have lost 82lb {5st 11lb}.......averages about 5.5lb a month. Which i have to say makes me smile whenever i think about it, am very happy about it - Ecstatic infact!!

I havent been to the gym since last blog that is until today, boy did i feel it have a feeling i will be hurting tomorrow.I want to get my 4 sessions in before next weigh day so instead of going swimming as i planned on a thursday i will go to the gym again and then go to gym on saturday and sunday aswell.

Excercise wise i have done since Monday:
30 mins wii {mon}

45 mins wii {tues}
45 mins wii & 30 mins gym {wed}

Then i hope to do: 30mins gym sesh & 30 mins wii {thurs}

45mins wii {fri}

30 mins gym & 30 mins wii {sat}

30 mins gym & 30mins wii {sun} = 6hrs 15 mins

Which actually looks really good on paper but wether i do it is a different story, best i kick myself up the bum!!!

I help out at the new meeting i attend and i actually really enjoyed it, i am taking people's fee's which was a little daunting at first but i soon got into it although i was being shown the ropes this week. Next week i am just thrown in at the deep end!!! Ohhhh i do LOVE a challenge haha!

Thought i would add some pics of i took on my journey of taking the kids to school one day, the views where beautiful!!

Although now it has to be said i have had more than enough of it!!! Wish it would just gooooooo. It is stopping me seeing my Gorgeous Boyfriend Colin xxxx

Have also included a picture below of the frozen yoghurt i had on the 6th -

Tastes Lovely!!! Yummy............... Haha!

Well that's all from me tonight will post again tomorrow..........Be good!

Kelly xx

Oh what a day -

2010-01-06T18:22:00.000Z

Well i woke up and got greeted by the snow.......GREAT!!

SO thought right i am going to attempt to walk to school this morning.......i got everyone ready was just about to set off when it was declared - SCHOOL CLOSED! I knew the weather must be bad because the headmaster never shuts the school because of a 'little snow'. So kids got re-dressed and went and played outside for a bit whilst i had a potter about the house. It then dawned upon me i was ment to be taking my cousin to lunch today as a birthday treat........So that in turn was CANCELLED, then i had a notion that my gym would be CLOSED too.........Yup! then i get an email from my ww leader informing me that the meeting for tonight is also CANCELLED!!!

It is now official - I HATE SNOW!!

It is completely ruining my plans for excercise and because it is cold making me wantto eat all the kinds of stuff that i shouldn't, i say want because i actually havent eaten anything naughty today, and am well on track as of 3.30pm {as i type} i have only eaten 8.5/24 points.

So far i have had:

*2 nimble bread toasted= 2pts,

*Cup of soup and 2 slices bread = 3pts, Pkt of light choice crisps= 1pt, 1 x Apple = 0.5pt,

*Approx 6 Lf pretzels and 1 x Malted milk bickie = 2 pts

Which leaves me with 15.5 points for rest of the day........... havent planned dinner for tonight as yet think i may go and do it now.......then come back to blogging in a mo.

ttfn x

I have planned the rest of my points for this evening...and did myself a home weigh in obviously its unofficial but wanted to see how i had faired.

Any way my points allowance is allocated as:

*WW chicken and mushroom pie, with swede and carrot mash, sprouts and gravy = 8.5

*Frozen yoghurt with rasperries 56g and sugar free jelly = 1.5pts

*2 x Clementines = 0.5 pts

If still hungry i'll have 30g of special k and orange top milk 1/4 pint = 2.5

Which still leaves me with 2.5 points if i have the cereal if not it will leave me 5 points.

If i dont have it and seen as you are not ment to save more than 4 pts i will have a hot choc before bed!

There food diary complete................oh and eaten main meal too!

Def reccomend the WW pies by the way this is first time i tried them and to be honest taste just like a birdseye one. It's not something i ate lots of 'pastry' before my ww days......however off late i have been craving it. I hope it's more to do with the current weather and comfort food as i dont really want to make a habit of eating lots of it......... having said that i am having a ww quiche for lunch tomorrow with some baked beans lol

Well as i previously mentioned i weighed myself tonight at home and i had lost 1lb........Yay!

Making me 14st 9lb!! if i had of been at proper weigh in i would of got my next *silver 7* making it 4st in a year at Weight Watchers!

What a great way to end my year, am starting a new meeting as of Monday though so as this weigh in isn't official i hope to keep it off and more for my first weigh in of the NEW YEAR, NEW MEETING.

I'm More Than Ready For You 2010- Bring it on!

Kelly x

Oh my days.......

2010-01-05T18:41:00.001Z

Well since my lil after weigh in treat i have been actually quite bad i dont understand what is wrong with me..........Oh yes i do - I'M A FAT GREEDY PIG!!!

I have had meal out at beefeater on new year's day, then a chinese one night for tea ~ admittedly not what i would normally dive into but still hardly good for a supposed WEIGHT WATCHER!

I know its my own doing.......i am doing the shovelling but hardly good when those around you are doing it in front of you and not considering you really atall.

My boyfriend and me seem to have swapped roles he used to be quite lean and healthy-ish offering me some really good advice as he had lost a fair chunk of weight before we had go together.....but recently it has become apparent to me that he is still verbally encouraging me but not so enthusiastically and 'Pigging out' on junk which he himself would admit to - i find it hard to resist doing the same at times although i do try...........I JUST CAN'T ALWAYS DO IT!

I have my last Wednesday weigh in tomorrow as i am changing to a Monday morning one of which i am helping out with.......taking the fee's!

So i started afresh Monday just gone so i may limit some damage by tomorrow BUT i doubt it will be by much .........However i SHALL have a good loss by my FIRST Monday weigh in on 11th.{ I guess you could say my starting a fresh year weight!}

Not had a bad couple of days on track ...........i say on track i mean within points......still to pick more healthy choices but getting there slowly but surely!

I have really upped my excercise though back at the gym now and have done 2 sessions so far was ment to go tonight but sensed that my mum didn't really want to mind the girls whilst i went so decided i wouldn't go. Not fair of me to burden my family with them so often.

However i did spend the last of my xmas money today......got some clothes AND i bought myself yet another wii fitness game lol .............this one is my shape with the lil web cam thingy. I think i have about 6 wii fit/health related games now!

Ooops maybe i should dust them off and alternate doing a cpl of these a day aswell as the gym to increase my losses????? Oh if only there were enough hours in the day............

Right well i will be back tomorrow to let you know how i get on at weigh in - Not holding my hopes for anything amazing tho!

Night peeps! x

Weigh in RESULT!

2009-12-31T10:06:00.002Z

Went to weigh in and had actually managed a STS this week!

Am very happy with that..........although i came back from weigh in and had pizza from pizza hut...but i always have a treat after weigh in. lol

I can now draw a line under that week and crack on with the year ahead!!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got myself some low fat brown bread and skimmed milk in to restart today on the best start possible i think i seriously need to sit and plan my meals ahead i had a really good loss when i did that before.

Had my brekkie had some weetabix with skimmed milk and a tsp of sugar...i can do with not having semi milk but not sugar too one or the other, although i do usually use sweetner but i have run out.......used it all in my chutney over xmas lol.

Also got myself a Ugo panini at the shop...it is a chicken and mozarella one with a olive tapenade but the bread is a tom & herb type.........looks lush just not to sure if olives are for me!!!

Works out at 5.5 points for it so not to bad really. Fill up on a salad aswell will do me for lunch one day. Will let you know how it tastes..............

The weather outside looks horrible wet n cold to be precise..........the good thing is i have my lovely man here to celebrate new year with. Not sure if we are going out or anything as yet either way it will be lovely.......just cuddling up on the sofa is nice with Col can't beat that feeling of safety in his grasp.......Mmmmmm am very lucky!! :0)

Right, before my thoughts drift off to how happy i am these days...............i would like to wish everyone a VERY happy new year, hope 2010 brings you all what you wish for and so much more!!

Now i am off to go on the wii fit for a good half hour then get dressed......that's if i dont get way layed into crawling back into bed with my good man lol !

Have a good one guys........see you in 2010........happy ,healthy and hopefully thinner!!

Time for an update.........

2009-12-30T17:15:00.003Z

well i havent been motivated in my thoughts as to what to mention off late or rather how to word it. I have had a good stint at the gym although it has been shut since 23rd Nov and doesn't reopen until 2nd Jan, so in that time my excercise has been pretty non existent.......cant even seem to clock up 1 BP let alone 1/2 of one on my pedometer at the moment. Think the bad snow and icy weather we have had may have been a major contributing factor............although that said i'm not entirely sure that it has been picking up my steps properly because my waist band had become a tad loose i have bought myself some new trousers now so fingers crossed all is well if not i shall buy one of the new pedometers i seen advertised on my monthly pass leaflet.

Oh yes......I had my 1st assessment at the gym on the 27th Nov my results are below:

                                Was:                                      Now:                         Diff:

Bust                     41 1/4"                                41 "                            - 1/4"

Waist                   39"                                            37"                              - 2"

Abdomen            52"                                            49"                              - 3"

Hips                     51.5"                                       50"                              -1.5"

R thigh                30"                                           29"                               - 1"

L thigh                30.5                                          29.5"                            -1"

R arm 18 1/4" 18" - 1"

L arm 18.5" 18" - 1"

Total loss in 10 Weeks: 9.5 "..........................Fantastic!!!

I weighed 15st 1lb at start but weighed 14st 13 at my Assessment..........should of been more but went on holday and put a fair whack on onlt to lose it again. So all in all i was very pleased not as good as a lady on a previous post but still a fair out come for me. So now i am ready to knuckle down as the new year approaches.

I recently got into a new size bottoms of which makes me roughly the same all over size18!!!!

I currently weigh 14 st 10 lb : 1 lb away from a 4 stone loss at ww, but 5st 8lb loss in total.

I have weigh in , in a cpl of hours first one after crimbo..................will do well to have maintained but expect to have probably put on 1lb or so. Which is very minimal as i havent really splurged as much i could of will update with my loss later!

Am setting myself some mini goals 1 of which will be to be in 13's by my 30th Birthday 2nd March, aim to do this by excercising loads and being sensible with my food choices.......... the rest i will list individually in the margin!

So then 2010 is fast approaching i have been thinking about what i would like to achieve:

* Get to goal..........9st 11lb

* Find myself a job

* Keep going and enjoying the gym at least 4 times a week

* To use my wii fit games more

* Walk and get more socially active

Well that's all for now.........catch ya in a bit!

Feeling a little peeved.........:0(

2009-11-24T19:58:00.000Z

I am feeling a little hacked off today, i have lots going on my life and just generally feel a little run down by it all.

The diet is going ok but at times i feel its all i have in life is a diet, i don't particularly have lots of friends who i can go and see for coffee & chim wags. Need to do more in my day i think.........SOCIALISE!!!!

I went to the gym this morning and another user was having her 1st asessment done, 1 of the instructors came out and announced that this lady had done really well.........i have to admit it is pretty amazing........She had lost 1 st 4lb and 19 3/4 inches from her body!!!

In 10 weeks aswell admittedly she isn't as big as me i think she now weighs 12 st 7 lb, any ways she to is doing weight watchers. I am feeling slightly dubious now as on friday i have my 1st asessment, whilst i think i can feel a difference i don't think it will be any where as near a good inch loss as this lady!

I know the weight loss doesn't even come close because i was 15 st 1lb when i began at the gym. Tomorrow is the key weigh in as to how much i have lost in 10 weeks.........bearing in mind i did go on hols and put on a fair chunk only to lose it again lol. I have only done my best though and aslong as i have lost some inches then i will be happy.......Just means now i have to work my ass off for my next assesment which i guess will be due around the first or second week of February which is important as it will not be long til me 30th then.....Eeeeeek i better knuckle down big time then!

1 last thing that im not impressed with......I went to my mum's today and seen this old album on the counter in the kitchen so i opened it up flicked through only to see this picture of my fat head next to my ex's all smiles and everything.....it made me feel so sick.The fact that i even married him, even now if i look at him for to long i feel physically sick...any ways i snatched the picture out of the album and tore it up in anger lol

Any way rant over will be back tomorrow with my weigh in results!!!

Kels x x

Really Motivated at the moment....

2009-11-21T19:51:00.000Z

Well i havent had the greatest of weeks, after my weigh in on Wednesday i had to go to the doctors on an emergency appointment as i was having really bad pains down below and could feel a rather unpleasant bulge.....:0(

Found out i had a bad U.T.I and a possible womb prolapse!!!! So have been worrying about it all week the stress is showing as i have been neglecting myself a little and my skin irritation has reared its ugly head!!! Had to make another appt for Thursday just gone as it was t.o.t.m before. Doctor gave me an examination and said it is likely to be a very slight prolapse which often occurs after women have children apparently. So i was pleased it wasn't anything more serious. So been on antibiotics for that and generally feeling down.

Any ways i got weighed on Wednesday and amazingly to me i lost 1 lb. I am chuffed to bits as that means i am now in the 14's {officially}. 13.5 lb to go to get into the 13's.........and 4 lb til my next silver 7. =0)

Had some really good n.s.v's aswell on friday i went crimbo shopping to spend some money my parents gave me i was determined not to go to evans and i didn't........i went to Dorothy Perkins and got a lovely Purple dressy top for £4!!! Best of all in a size 16.........Yes Yes Yes!!!

Than later the same day at the gym, a lady commented to me how i had lost a lot of weight since she had seen me a few weeks ago and i was looking more toned too. I don't know this lady from adam so it was lovely to know that my loss is showing. i was how ever quite embarrassed by her comment and just managed to reply ohhh, thankyou. I said after to my cousin blimey i didnt know people looked at me. lol. Sounds daft but i thought people concentrated on doing there circuit not me. Obviously i was wrong but it was lovely to hear all the same. =0)

I went to the gym again today had my usual Saturday sneeky peak.......Seemingly have lost 2lb!!! {14.11}

Yet again i will have to work hard to keep that loss or acheive more.......would be great if i lost 4 lb for my next silver which would be 4 stone loss with ww but 5st 9lb in all!!!

Fingers crossed i lose atall lol

Any ways am off now will be putting a couple of new pics on later or maybe tomorrow.

Kelly x

Go me.....Woohooooo!

2009-11-12T12:15:00.000Z

Well i had my weigh in last night am VERY pleased to report a 5lb LOSS!!!!

I am over the moon as i knew id lost a lil but not 5lb :0)........Made my night becuase it means i have finally shifted all my holday weight plus a lil more.

I am now 15 stone exactly!

Woop Woop!

I think this planning ahea malarky is good motivation plus the 1 sneeky peak at the gym on a saturday. Definatley fully motivated now. I am aiming to lose another 14 lb by xmas. Which is 6 weigh ins away {23rd} so need a minimum of 2lb a week really to get 12lbs ..........so 14 is going to be a big push!

To be 14 stone by xmas would be great, then i look forward to the next challenge my 30th when i would like to be at least in the 12's!!!

Bring it on!!!

Yayyyyy me......

2009-11-07T15:56:00.000Z

Well as promised i'm back to let you kno how it went gym was good felt like i had a good workout. Weighed myself and i was 15 st 4lb so it means i have lost 1lb which means i have to both maintain that loss and still work my ass off to maybe lose another by wednesday.

Let's hope i can manage it, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me please!!

A great time had............

2009-11-07T09:06:00.000Z

Well i had an Ann summers party last night, it was quite a good laugh. Not many people came, actually non of my friends to be honest lol. Was just my mum, aunt, cousin, cousin's gf & 2 of mum's work mates!!!!

But that said it was still a laugh. Just goes to show that i'm still not that popular even after leaving school Ha Ha!!! Ahhh well it's ok, the only true friend a girl needs is her mum! :0) Love you Mum.x

I bought myself a red basque type thing usually costs about £45 but with my 10% discount i got it for £36.90. Got my eye on a purple one similar but as the organiser is a friend of mine she said she will get it for me at a lower price nearer xmas as it is being discontinued. Get in!!! Thanks for that Emma! x

Well i've had a fairly good few days since weigh in, didnt go to the gym last night due to the party so am going to go on sunday as well as today, to catch up on my 4 sessions a week. {Tues,Wed,Fri,Sat}.

Am weighing myself at the gym today too, they weigh you once a week and i used to have it done on wed evening before weigh in, but i felt like i was cheating lol so i changed it to mid week {weigh in wise} so then i knew i would have to work harder for the rest of the week to lose by the following wednesday or to keep what i had lost off if any....................Does that make sense???

Any way my local Leisure centre has reopened its lane pools so as of next week i am going to start going there again stopped just before the 6 week hols as they where re-furbing the roof or somthing. So that will bump up my excercise plus i am going to up my wii gaming aswell.

When i first started dieting i went on the wii every day for min of 45 mins i don't do that atall any more. So going to make an extra effort to do that again. I have an array of wii excercising games so i dont really have any excuses.

Will report back later what the gym scales say although to date they have always been in line with the ww ones at my meeting!!!!

So fingers crossed i've lost at least 1/2 lb lol Although i do hate those 1/2's :0)

Weigh in went well!!!

Well i went to weigh in tonight as i usually do on a wednesday, and am pleased to report a 1.5lb loss. Which is good considering i put that much on the week before lol. So am now

15 st 5 lb {AGAIN!!}

If i keep going at the same rate as i have for the last week i should be good for that lovely dress i so want to wear this christmas. Has some great news today for the first time in about 6 years my mum actually has christmas off, so long as the other cook doesn't now pull a sicky or hand in her notice .Which fingers crossed will not happen. I love christmas and it will be different this year as there have been a few changes in the family with living arrangements. Know doubt it will be good either way. As it will be with the people i love the most my 3 gorgeous daughters!! :0)

Any way i hope to lose another 1-2 lb next week as i am starting another challenge that runs from 9th november though to and inclusive of the 4th january 2010 {9 weigh ins}

So that said i am estimating my loss to be between 9 and 18 lb. Realistically i am going to aim for 9lb though. fingers crossed i do it!!!

I sooooooo want this now more than ever........please be kind to me next week scales!!!

Dear Blog.............

2009-10-24T19:44:00.001+01:00

Firstly let me apologise for neglecting you for sooooo long, you are my support system and there for me when i need you. Which believe me i have done so many times off late.Sorry! x x

Well i thought after such a long time it might be a good idea to update my blog, i managed to get my 50lb certificate on the 16th September which i am VERY proud of. Been a long time coming but i got there in the end. It sits pride of place on my kitchen cupboard as a good deterent of how far i have come.

I also joined the local ladies only gym which i'm pleased about was a big step for me especially as i joined by myself didnt manage to blag any company in my family or friends......although now 1 of my cousins has now, after i informed her of how good it was. I love a lil competition LOL. Been going about 6 weeks now and really enjoying it. They took my measurements of certain areas too so when i have a reveiw in 4 weeks time i will see if i have lost any inches!!!!! {FINGERS CROSSED}.

I set myself a lil goal before my hols to try and be in the 14's before i went,well i went to palma nova on 22nd September and i weighed myself before i went.............

I was 14st 13lb!!!!! {unofficial weigh in.....last weigh in at ww was 15st 1 lb}.I was really pleased with that only just in but hey i did it!! Needless to say when i got weighed on the 30th Septemeber i weighed 15st 9.5 lb !!!

Thus ruining my 50lb loss and getting into the 14's :0(

However i am to date 15st 5lb so 3 weeks after my holdays i have lost 4.5lb of that i gained ideally it could of been 6lb but i'm only human i guess. I am however determined to lose another 2lb minimum this week i do feel like im back on track though so hopfully i will see the results i'm striving for.

Have set myself a 2lb a week target so i can hopfully be 14st 1 lb by 23rd December as i want to wear a nice dress this christmas as i dont usually dress up, i get the girls looking lovely in pretty party frocks. I just wear what ever i can find that looks smart but this year will be different!!!!

Not feeling so great ..............

2009-08-28T12:52:00.000+01:00

Well today is friday WAHOO!!!

Woke with a really bad headache probably due to not sleeping very well yet again, having trouble getting to sleep even though i am physically tired. I don't know why though not like i do anything that strenuous during the day really. Hope it isn't stress related though as i kno my damn skin will probably flare up {granuloma annulare}.

Prob a mixture of anxiousness/excitement.
My boyfriend has been so generous to me..... over the last few months especially.
Bought me a new leather suite, taking me on holiday in september & just brought me a new car. Have this over whelming feeling of undeservedness {if that is such a word}. :0(

The girls are going to stay with their Nana {EX's Mother!} tonight until tuesday morning..........So it will be just me and my bub at home til then. With it being Bank hol weekend bound to be something we can do. Might even get on with all this half finished decorating that i have LOL.

Going to collect my new car tomorrow ,will be nice to be able to get out and about again.With 3 kids it is a struggle sometimes especially with shopping..............and my girls are not the most obedient at times{most of the time LOL}!!!

Missing Colin like crazy these days wish there wasn't such a long distance between us. Would be able to see more of each other then........God dammit i feel like poo today!! :0(

Oh yes............had a sneeky peak earlier lil early i know considering was only weighed on wed night but says im in the 14's already!!! But we will see on wed last weigh in before kids go back to school, was aiming to lose a stone whilst on hols. I was 15.11 before broke up and am 'officially' 15.2 now so that is 9lb.......don't think i'll make that stone somehow LOL. 5lb is a lil to adventurous but if i get as close as possible is still pretty good going!

Accomplishments to date....

2009-08-27T11:04:00.005+01:00

Well i had weigh in last night, Lost 2.5lb which took me to a total loss on ww of 49lb exactly ............oh how i do detest those half's but i guess every half counts! So that entitled me to another

silver 7.......YAYYYYYY!!

Love em they make my card all pretty LOL . On an even brighter note it means i'm only 1lb away from getting my 50lb certificate. Also got my 5% sticker as i should of got it at 15.5 seemingly 3 weigh ins ago i didnt notice that either. Will get my 10% at 14.9 i think if i worked it out correctly. So that is in 7lb time,fingers crossed i can get it before my holiday on 22nd September. Will miss weigh in that week should be on the 23rd but will weigh in on 30th day after i return from Palma Nova...........Hopefully i will have lost im going to try and be really really good!!

At Least i WILL be in the 14's for my hol so im happy bout that =0)

Was a lil happy last night after weigh in....whilst being weighed and talking to carol {my leader}, mum piped up lighter than me now for the first time...........i just replied in a very long time!!!

Mum is 17st summat has been slightly lighter though, and for prob all my secondary school life i was heavier than her but not any more. I think she was slightly envious but happy for me aswell because she know's how hard i have worked!

I seem to be looking at my family members and trying to surpass there actual weight lol giving myself sneeky targets thats the competetiveness in me creeping out LOL.

Have so far caught up with and run past.......:

My Aunt {19st ish}

Cousin Emma {18st ish}

Mum {17st ish}

Brother {16st ish}

Step-dad {Late 15st ish}

Next in line is my Nan & Cousin Gemma {although she is watching what she eats} think they are in early 15's & mid 14's.

In case you hadn't noticed majority of my family is either overweight or obese think it is a mixture of lifestyle and Family Gene's thanks grundy LOL .

Bring it on i say................ haha sorry so motivated at the moment hope it lasts! x

2009-08-25T10:01:00.001+01:00

2009-01-18T20:11:00.001Z

This is me on the train back from london. Me and my boyfriend had been to london with friends for new year. It was a really good experience. Even the rush to get the train home was eventful and no doubt kick started my weightloss..............

Update of my progress :0) xx

2009-01-18T19:31:00.000Z

Well i thought i best update you all on my progress. I joined weightwatchers meeting on the 7th of January my weight being.....18st 9lb.

I wasn't best pleased because i had managed to get my weight down to 18st 4lb but i'd put 5lb back on. My only guess is because i knew i was joining ww that i let myself slide a lil bit.
My next weigh in was on the following wednesday 14th .....18st 3lb.
Yay!!! i lost 6lb.....however i was ill that week so wasn't taking advantage of all my points.

This week im due my period & from what i can make out most people stay the same or put on during his time :(
I hope this isn't the case for me i know i'll get a lil bit disheartened if so.
I have got a busy next few weeks.......i am movng house & have my driving test to contend with on the 28th of this month. I really hope i pass have so many plans riding on it.....namely going swimming in the day/evenings to boost my weight loss. Just a better quality of life all round really for me & the ones i love.

First posting!!!

2009-01-04T19:46:00.000Z

Well this is my first posting so i'll try not to bore you.

Had a fairly good day today. Not been that hungry though as i went out to celebrate my cousin's birthday last night so have a bit of a icky tum today. Self inflictedso i don't expect much sympathy. I got in at 4am which i havent ever done before but was good fun all the same. Never really been the party animal more the stay at home & have a drink type with take away etc etc. But that is no more............ new year new me!! Fingers crossed i can keep it up. In my heart i know i can.
