Wednesday Weigh In!!

Well hello all!

Weigh in completed! I am now 24 stone 4.5lbs - lot 4.5lbs this week... got slimmer of the week, slimmer of the month and my silver body magic award!!

I've been stuffing my face full of food this week, and making slimming world quiches, so its going well.

thats all for now, will give you a big update when im not so tired!

Hello all!



Well it’s Wednesday and I’m updating so things must be going well!



I'm very proud to announce I got slimmer of the week this week!!! And I lost 3lbs, so I am now 24 stone 9... No longer am I 26stone or 25 stone something, I’m 24 something! So I’m really chuffed, and am taking everything at one stone at a time, hoping it won’t seem like such a long journey if I do that!!!



went swimming last night, and was pulling my tummy in a lot, feels like I’m getting control of my tummy muscle back now, and it didn’t feel like it was bouncing around when I was doing aqua fit, probably something no one else but me would notice, but it felt good.





So roll on next week I guess!





Much Love

so long has gone by!!

Hey everyone!



So long has gone by since I have checked in! It’s been nearly two weeks, and things have been manic! I’ve been going to the gym lots and swimming, which seems to be affecting my weight loss, it has really really been slow :o(



I’m at 24stone 12 at slimming world, so imp 1lb away from my stone certificate which I’m hoping I can get on Wednesday, but I’m concerned about the not losing weight since I started at the gym, so I will be speaking to my consultant on Wednesday to try and figure out what’s going on.



apart from that the gym is going well, I can cycle 12km in 30 mins now, which I’m really proud of, and I can row 900m in five minutes - which are all targets I’m looking to beat as I get fitter.



For now, I’m more focused on why I’m not losing as much weight, so if anyone has any ideas or pointed, it would really really be helpful!!!





Much Love

What a week!

Hello World!



So it’s Saturday and what a busy week I’ve had, didn’t even get to update on Wednesday!



I went to aqua fit Tuesday, all by myself ill have you know, and I’m unbelievably proud of myself, so much so, I am joining the gym tomorrow!



Wednesday weigh in was good, I weighed in at 25stone 1lb, bit disappointed, but it is my period week, so I’ll let myself off a bit I think.



Went out with friends last night to a Mexican restaurant and tried so hard to be good, but the drink flowed and so did the food, so I’ll be back at the pool tomorrow to try and make up for it, on the plus side I’m weighing in at 24stone 13lb at home, so really really proud I’ve got under the first stone, just going to keep focussed on losing a stone at a time and I will get there.



I took a really big step and told a couple of people that I work with that I’m doing slimming world, so there is really no turning back now!



having a lazy day today and will go shopping tomorrow, no clothes though, waiting till I’m down a couple of dress sizes, soon I hope, but I’m going to treat myself to some nice jewellery and make up :o)



I didn’t win slimmer of the week, the winner lost 5lb, but I’m please to say that was my mum, so a big shout out to say I’m so proud of her!





Speak soon.



Much Love

Monday Madness!

Hey Guys,



Well this last week’s been a bit manic so I’ve not had much time to blog, so you all know Wednesdays weigh in went great, and the week has continued just as well but today I'm STARVING!!!!

I went swimming Saturday morning and managed 72 lengths of the diving pit!!! So I'm really proud of that... just looking forward to another weigh in to see what’s happening now.



On my scales at home I’m now 25st 1lb so 13lbs gone in total, but I’d rather wait and see what Wednesday brings. I'm on my * week - so I think that means my weight loss will slow this week, but no one can understand how bad I want that slimmer of the week certificate!!!!!





This is it for now, where I’m not eating all that biscuit, chocolaty, crispy goodness, I’m tired!!!



Wish me luck for aqua fit tomorrow and weigh in Wednesday!





Much Love

Wednesday Weigh In!

Soooo its Wednesday evening and my weekly weigh in!



Group was really good and I’ve lost 7lbs since last Wednesday - so that’s 10lb since I’ve started!



I’m only going to update my weight on a Wednesday now, as weighing on a Sunday morning then Wednesday evening is a bit pants!!



So 10lb down, I can feel my trousers are a bit looser and I feel more awake! :)



I got my 1/2 stone award at slimming world which is great as I’ve only been there one week! I couldn’t be slimmer of the week as it’s my first one, but I lost the most so 'technically' I was - I just didn’t get the certificate! But there is always next week!



I’m glad I can see what I’m doing is working and if I can do the same next week that’s 1 stone down and 14 left!!! eeeek!



I went to aqua fit last night and swam afterwards, and going swimming Saturday morning... there is no stopping me now!



That’s it for now... I’m tired... will blog again soon



Much Love

Fist Weight In!

Well hello and happy Wednesday I guess!



I've just had my first meeting at slimming world and it was amazing! I'm really enthused by the group and by the leader who herself has lost 6 stone in 14 months... it’s good to know the person helping you hasn’t always been a rake that can eat everything!



I've never been so confused by food before though, I can eat as much potato and steak as I like?! What the... it just doesn’t make sense BUT I am trusting that this will be the path to a new me!



There is a raffle every week, and slimmer of the week certificate and a basket of goodies, so there is my challenge, to get slimmer of the week and to get that basket!!



I've been talking allot about my weight and everything so I wanted to give you some sort of background on me, you know, so you don’t think I’m just some big potato girl sat here with nothing better to do!



So, here goes, the most apparent thing about me is I’m very FAT, I’m not going to say big, chubby or anything - that would be a lie, in fact I’m morbidly obese if you speak to my doctor! I am now 25stone 11 as per my official weigh in, which is good, 3lb down from 26 stone on Saturday, and in the evening with all my clothes on.



secondly, what most people notice beyond the chub chub, are my eyes, they are blue, normal to me, but a lot of people thing they are stunning, bit of a cliché right,



'Oh the first thing I notice is your eyes'



Right mate, its cos you don’t want to look at my wobbly bits!





I have a good job, and I'm studying for a business degree, I’ve been at my job 5 years and I love it. When I’m not at work, I might be found working at home, or checking my emails on my iphone, I can’t help it and I love it...



I have a wonderful other half who’s been with me for over 4 years, and seen me through thick and thin... well, thick and thicker would be more apt. i was a size 22 when we first me, so around 20stone.. And he loved me then, he loves me now, and I hope he will love me when I’m half the girl I used to be.



We have been engaged for a couple of years, but I don’t want to be a fat bride, so no dates been set, but when we do it will be amazing.



I love reading, writing, drawing, stitching, knitting anything creative and I’m all over it like cheese on toast! I love to cook and bake, and do so well I think, so I will have to devise some low fat cake recipes that I can share with everyone... if there is anyone out there. I love films, and go to the cinema a couple of times a week, yes; I do still fit in the seats... just! But I can’t wait till my hips don’t touch the sides!



I guess I’ll talk more about me as time and blogs go on, but that’s it for now... I’m excited and need to fill out my food diary for today and write a shopping list full of all my 'free' foods!





Much love

A Few Good Days...

...can make a world of difference can't they?!



I’m having a great few days; I've lost 4lbs since Saturday so I’m feeling fine!



This evening I went to aqua fit, I know in the swimming pool and everything! I hopped and jumped and spun and floated for 45 mins with the best of them.... just picture it, (if it doesn’t make you too queasy) me in my size 30 swimsuit jumping up and down in the pool with my belly following a bit behind..LOL but it all good fun and the way I see it is we are all there to work out right? And if they want to look under the water and watch my wobbly bits... well, then, I’m more worried about them than they ever will be about me being fat!

The food side of things hasn’t been too bad, and I’m not that hungry... more starving, but that will get better I’m sure! just waiting to get to slimming world tomorrow and find out what I can and can’t have, for now I’m finding a new love for plums, grapes and snack a jacks.... cue branding plug...



If the makers of snack a jack see this and want to sponsor my weight loss with a year’s supply of caramel snack a jacks, I will most certainly consider their offer.....


.... Before biting their arm off!

I’m also really pleased to have got 3 comments on my first blog! people are reading this - you are reading this, I want to say thanks, and that I’m really sorry you will have to put up with my ramblings for a loooong time yet, but if it helps - me and my creative flare will be posting up some yummy low fat recipes as I make things, so it’s worth coming back right?!


For now I'm off to bed.. this body isn't used to all the fitness.... but it will learn... just as I will....


night world!


Oh and PLEASE subscribe.... it will motivate me like you wouldn't believe!


Much Love

A New Year.. A New Resolution....

Welcome to my blog!
I’m not sure if there is anyone out there reading this - and if there is thank you!

I’m writing a blog of my long road from 26 stone - to my healthy weight (that I will find out on Wednesday, eek!) that I imagine to be around 11 stone

So for now, heres blog 1..... of  15 stone, or 210 pounds!

So this year started off like any other - very drunk - I'll make a resolution to lose weight.... Yeah right. Exactly like every other year... And so New Year’s Day I stuffed my face, drank lots, and ate chocolates.

It’s the 9th January now, and I’m taking my resolution back, I'm retrieving it, and making it my own again.

Ask me why, why will this be different, why this year, why not last year - or the year before when I lost 5 stone in 6 months? And I put I all back on again - plus another stone - which leads me to today 26 stone and shopping in asda with my mum.... down the bargain isle - looking at cheap xmas surplus and down walks a beautiful girl with an attractive partner, she looks at me, looks at her partner and says not too quietly

'Oh my god, look at that' and nods my way.

Cue the red face, burning cheeks us 'fatties' know so well and I vow to do it.

Feeling blue with a punnet of grapes we pull away from Asda into a cue of traffic, its snowy and taking so very long... a family pulls their car in front of mine, and cuts me up. I beep my horn, slipping on the ice as I go, the dad in the front, who I have lovingly labelled ' Father Of The Year' shouts

'Fat B&£$%'

It’s not the first time that’s been shouted at me - and I'm sure it won't be the last, what got to me was the young children in the back, no older than ten, who began to write F A T in the mist on their window.

I don’t know why people would raise children like this - or how they can be so cruel, but it’s not just them is it? Its most of the population, even as being bigger becomes more common than being healthy, it’s still not accepted.

I don't know who these people are, or why they are so cruel, but I know they won't change... but I can.......

Weigh in tomorrow morning at home... and I will begin Slimmers World on Wednesday.

Wish me luck!!

Much Love
