8lbs = Weight of a human head

So not only does 8lb feel like ive gained the world in weight but to be precise its approxmatley the weight of a average human head!

I do the above list though as its a great movtivator to see the weight dropping off!

Sorry lads - Yesterday the almighty TOTM month came and OMG after taking that pill to stop it while I was on holiday it has made me feel 100 times worse than I would have normally! So I feel so sluggish and bloated def not a pretty site! Hopefully should help me with WI though on Saturday help to drop a few lbs??

Yesterday I managed to stay within my 18 points (kickstart) and gave myself a pat on the back, my aunt called round for a cuppa and talked all evening so it helped me stay out of the fridge! Yummy tea we had omalette, salad and jacket potato! After she left I prepper tonights tea which I have asked hubbie to make a spag bol and a chilli both will be bulked out with veggies and beans do reduce the amount of meat (points). At least then tea is ready for tonight and again helps with having a plan set in place for when I get home from work.

Didnt managed any excercise :( although ive tried in vain to get in touch with my leader this week to ensure she keeps a pedometer in stock for me!

At class on Monday I bought the Italian cook book which has some great recipes in - cant wait to try them out! Any recommendations?

Generally a quiet week overall with us coming home from hols, hubbie still poorly though!

Anyone been watching Big Bro? Not bowled over as much this year, maybe cos I dont have a clear fav yet??

I heard that Supersize V Superskinny has started back? I love that show!

Day 2 of being good

Well managed to behave yesterday and stay within my points and so far so good today :)

May even start to work on my "wings" tonight, after wearing a tankini all week I had a really good look at my body and I really havent been blessed with good skin. I know you only get out what you put in and in all honestly im not putting a lot in.

I cannot expect my body to loose 7.5 stone in weight and spring back! Wishfull thinking! I think even with surgery you would still need to excercise to tone up. Does anyone have any tips?

I really need a excercise buddy as I never instigate excercise, I need to be pushed!

What excercise do you enjoy?

Happy WW'ing everyone!

Holiday result!

Hi all,

First day back to normallity today :( Eventful thats for sure! A lovely holiday but hubbie picked up a bug towards the end which at this stage we think is food poisoning (still awaiting test results) and Lily came home with a back of a earring wedged in her ear canal so a trip to A&E was in order first thing!
So last night I was feeling the bloat so found a local class (I dont usually weigh until Saturday) and thought lets get this over with......... 8lb! So she says! Im in denial as I know I was a naughty girl but but not 8lbs worth of naughtiness!!! Thats the biggest gain I have EVER had in my life!
So armed with lots of good foods and a kickstart plan Im going to drop that 8lb!

Hope everyone is good! Speak soon x

Oh no!

Attack of the chocolate this afternoon..... we had a bag of minitures sent to us at work with small crunchies, dairy milk - you get my point :) Anyway really good picked out the crunchie and pointed all 1.5 of it! Then this afternoon the devil took over and I consumed another 4 bars!!!!!


Pointed them up to 7.5 point on bloody chocolate! But Ive pointed it im digusted - MOVE ON!

Alison invited me jogging tonight and I really thought about declining.... I just cannot be bothered that the truth of it. But No I accepted and ill be sweating, huffing and puffing later on trying to claw back even more points! There is no excuse really ive had a very up and down week. The scales decide my fate on Saturday!

Nice short post tonight - hope you all ok!

ooooh sweetie attack!

Had a sweet attack today in Wilkinsons.... managed to only select about 10 sweets ranging from mini gems to fried eggs - estimated 3.5points?? What do you think?

I really should be doing excercise this week but my TOTM is due and I feel absolutely gross! Although they say excercise is the best medicine - I just dont get it?? As i've lost weight my body shape isnt going down well, Im suffering on the skin front (well I think so) boobs drooping, belly hanging, arms flapping there is NOTHING toned about me!

I know ill get to goal and really wish I had excercised earlier on and by then it will be too late! How can I motivate myself to start toning? It sort of comes in fits and starts and I think Ive worked out how.... if someone instigates the excercise or asks me to join them I cant wait! But I cannot do it alone? Its something I really need to work on!

2lb OFF baby!

OMG how happy am I? On the way to class I was practicing my mantra in the car - "I WILL LOOSE WEIGHT THIS WEEK", althought secretly hoping & wishing that I would.

Guess what I lost 2lb! I was soooooo chuffed and still am!

This week in class we talked about easing of the pedal a little bit with regards to trying to loose weight as some weeks we try that little bit too hard and dont get the result we want.

A perfect example - I always keep my tracker for the weeks I looose weight in order to refer back too. One week I had a 90% good week (I say 90% as the one day I ate a Starbucks Rocky Road for 11points! and therefore exceeded my points) and lost 2.5lb that week! Last week I thought I would get on the scales after what I would class a good week and only lost 0.5lb. Then this week I had that naughty day for the Take That concert and lost 2lb!

Our bodies do weird things dont they? I seem to be a week behind all the time?

So I am now 13st 3lb total loss 52.5lb! I would have loved to have gotten into the 12's before holiday (one more WI on Saturday) but hey hey we can only do our best. Mini goals are there to encourage you - not for you to beat yourself up over if you dont manage to achieve them.

I have also told myself that I will not overindulge on holiday to the extreme that I will have a HUGE gain that will take me weeks and weeks to get off.

So after a wobbly day yesterday (It was Fathers Day!) im back on track 100% would love another loss this week!

Todays menu:-

B:- Porriage (2) Skimmed Milk (1)

S:- Alpen bar (1)

L:- Wholemeal pitta (2) Turkey (1) LF mayo (0.5) Salad (0 including my homegrown lettuce!!) Velvet crunch crisps (1)

S:- Cherries (1)

9.5/21 so far.....

Hope you had a great weekend!

Fingers & Toes crossed

Im soooo hoping that the WW gods have been good to me this week - my only downfall was the Take That concert so it depends how much damage I could have done? Losing weight has become so hard the last few weeks only 0.5lb a week? Its taking 2 weeks to loose 1lb - what I need is someone to lend me there tracker for a week? It fell off to start with and now my body seems to have grown "used" to WW? I will see this through - I have too but I need to shake things up as what im doing obviously isnt enough.

I have tomorrow and next Saturday - my last 2 WI's before holiday and I really really really wanted to be back in the 12's but I just cannot get the weight off! My worst fear is that im going to come back with a huge gain and be nearly back in the 14's! Any tips for being on holiday?

Dont really need to do much food shopping over the weekend as I need to run things down but there is plenty in anyway -ill just nip to Aldi and stock up on fruit.

Mikes out tomorrow so nice quiet night for me - I think ill cut out the Saturday night takeaway tomorrow and see if that helps?

Have a great weekend everyone!
