Haven’t blogged for a while have had so much going on I just haven’t been able to find the time! Had a good couple of weeks after gaining 3lb after my birthday I’ve now lost that. In the last week 2 weeks ive lost 2lb and this week lost 1lb so slowly but surly it’s coming off and I’m getting closer to goal! I was quite surprised with the 1lb loss I did have a really good week but Sunday I went to a wedding fair and had a couple of glasses of champagne and some wedding cake, but the good must have evened out the bad!

I have noticed my weight tracker is a bit up and down lately so need to try my best to keep it on a even keel!

My leader made me feel great last night at the meeting she told me how proud she is of me and how well I’m doing and that I look great. This gave me a great confidence boost. She also said that the weight loss will probably slow down the closer I get to goal but I’m willing to try my hardest. I bought a journal to track my meals as I’ve found I have started to slip and am not writing things down. I think this is because I’ve been doing weight watchers so long I feel like I know all there is to know and I don’t need to track. Well this isn’t the case at all so I’m back to tracking everything!!!!

Also drinking more water, and switched to decaf tea. I didn’t realise that all the tea I drink doesn’t count to my fluid intake and actually slows down metabolism so I’ve switched it tastes exactly the same so glad I’ve done it!

11 weeks till xmas my leader really wants me at goal by then, we haven’t had anyone in our class reach goal for a while now so id love to be the next person. 9lbs to go!!!

Oh also I’ve bought my wedding dress!!!!!!!!!! It fits like a glove but there’s still plenty of time for it to be altered. Seeing myself in my wedding dress also made me realise that to look my absolute best I really need to tone up. Exercise needed badly!!

Well i wasnt going to get weighed this week, i went to meeting and told my leader that after a really good week i had gone and ruined it all today by having a lovely day out in Bakewell and scoffing fish and chips! But she made me get on the scales and im so glad she did because it showed a 1.5lb loss !!!! I was so pleased to see 10 stone 12 pounds on those scales.

It my birthday this week and im off all week too and have a few things planned that revolve around eating! Me and my OH are going for a picnic weather permitting and all the goodies i have bought arnt really point friendly , hopefully a long walk round the lake may even that out! Also for my birthday my lovely OH is taking me away for night and there will be lots of nice meals and plenty of alcohol flowing so not really expecting much next week.

Oh well birthday points dont count anyway....back on it from next Monday!!!

Well as the title says I did it! I got into the tens finally YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!! Lost 1.5lbs last night at weigh in was so please as was my leader she knows how much of a struggle its been these past few weeks trying to stick to weight watchers and have a social life. I’m now so close to goal.

Had a good week my only slip up was a meal out on Friday night for my MIL's birthday that consisted of 3 courses (made good choices from the menu though) and a few glasses of wine to wash it all down! I did something very naughty Saturday and Sunday to compensate……..I had only 12 points each day to claw the points back to cover the meal. My leader told me off for this but I really wanted that 1.5lb loss I wanted to get into the tens and it worked. It’s not the best method because I was starving both days but I think if I hadn’t done it I would have been facing a lower loss or even a stay the same.

It’s starting to get so much harder now I’m so close to goal the last bit is coming off so slow. I want another good week this week to try and get a bit more off for my birthday. Im cutting back on bread because ive realised im slowly letting it creap back in and having quite alot so thats out !

I have a night out planned this weekend but I’m going to save a couple off points each day to cover this and stick to vodka diet coke on the night if I can! Hopefully the dancing should burn off some calories. I can’t wait to go out, I’m feeling a lot more confident recently and I haven’t been out since May I’m half a stone lighter since than when I last went out on the town so looking forward to getting all glammed up!

BRING ON GOAL!!

Very pleased with last nights weight in, lost 1lb. I wanted more (don’t we always) but a pound off is better than on. And after the weekend I had id say I’m lucky to even lose that!  

Again after starting of the week great and staying in point’s mon-fri it got to the weekend and I found it so hard to stay on track. I ended up at a friends on Saturday night me and my other half were cooked a lovely meal and bless her my friend even got low fat garlic bread for me, so meal ok roughly in points…..but then we jumped in the hot tub and ended up drinking a bottle of champagne and scoffing several profiteroles….so now way over points!

I am finding it so hard to stay on track on the weekends during this summer every week a group of us up in the back garden with a couple of bottles of vino and the nibbles and its so hard to say no! I don’t like being the party pooper and saying no I wont drink and quite frankly I don’t want to say it, I’ve had the best summer and the wine has a lot to do with that ha ha !  I know I am not helping myself and there’s only me that can sort it out but I just don’t know how to do it … all suggestions welcome!

Another hard week this week, I have 2 meals out and another hot tub party all I can do is try and cut back during the week and try and make good choices on the night! Then just hope for the best, I know this doesn’t sound very positive but I’m just really not in the right frame of mind at the moment and for the time being ill just be happy with maintaining my weight. I only have 2 more weigh in’s before my birthday so it doesn’t look likely ill be in the 10’s for it …another target not got. My goal seems so far away will I ever get there????

WI last night and put on 2lb! I know where I have gone wrong so I can’t really complain but I didn’t expect it to be that bad.

I went away for the weekend with a group of friends so as you can imagine a lot of drinking was involved followed by a fry up the next day and a pub lunch. I had been so good leading up to the weekend though so thought it wouldn’t be that bad, I saved plenty of points but it obviously didn’t work!

Straight back on the wagon today I need a good week I’ve got even further to go to get into the tens now and only 3 more weigh in’s to do it. Our class was about getting back to basics so that’s what I’m going to do. Also going to try and have alcohol free week as I haven’t had one in a while. Here’s to a good loss next week!!!!

Had a really good week diet wise this week got back on track, pointed weighed and wrote everything down. I even managed to have a lunch out and a big Sunday lunch with pudding (all in points mind!)So I was extremely pleased when I got on the scales and saw a 2lb loss! The scales did that thing where they take ages to lock in and beep so it kept teetering into the 10’s but it finally stuck at 11 stone dead on!

My leader had a word with me about my goal weight last night at class, we decided to call my goal 10 stone 7lbs but she agreed that if I wasn’t happy there then we can change it. I’m only 7lbs away from goal and I don’t think ill be happy I don’t know why I’m just still not happy with my body. I’m in size 12, I’m wearing things I would have never worn a year ago so I should be happy but I’m just still not happy with my shape. I don’t think this will change until I start doing some exercise and start to tone up! It’s so hard for me to fit it into my day I’m so lazy I can never be bothered to do it when I get home! (Ok so these are all excuses I just need to get my butt in to gear!) I need to think of some ways to get exercise into my day, something where I will see results ….any ideas??!!

My leader also set a challenge which was for us to set a target of how much we want to lose in 17 weeks. This brings us just up to the beginning of December, I would actually like to be at goal by the beginning of November but I decided to join in anyway so I set my target as a stone this will bring me in at 10stone dead which I think would be lowest id go.

Got a few things going on this weekend I’m going away for a night, have a night out and am going out with friends for lunch so its going to be very hard to stick to points I’m hoping I don’t have another week of not losing just because I have things planned. I’m going to save a few points everyday to cover me and pick low point foods so hopefully ill be ok!

Here’s to getting into the tens next week!!!!!

PS Just read through my past posts on my blog, I’m so glad a started his blog and that I post every week it keeps me motivated even though sometimes I gain or am down on things I feel so happy when I can come on here and report that I’ve lost and its something to look back on when I finally do get to goal, and I hope in a way that my blog helps other people! I’ve noticed though that I set myself a lot of mini goals and never get to them, its nearly took me a year to get this far which some would say is a long time but I’m just happy that I’m not the weight I was this time last year! So my new goal is no more goals (I know I have the challenge but that’s over a long period of time so it’s doable!) I just want to lose and keep losing and be happy…

WI last night and I stayed the same I have to say last week didn’t really go to plan so I suppose I should be grateful!

The week actually started off really well I stuck to points and tracked religiously. I did go to pizza hut on Tuesday but I pointed for it so that should have been ok really but then the weekend came…. Saturday was going really well until some friends invited me and my other half round for tea, 3 bottles of wine and some very creamy pasta later id completely lost track and was just eating what ever was put in front of me. Not one of my best decisions. I think I went roughly 20 points over my allowance and with only Sunday to make it up it was near impossible.

I’ve got to the stage now where I’m getting a bit fed up of weight watchers, well not weight watchers as such just dieting! I know they say on weight watchers you can have what ever you want just as long as its in moderation and you point but some situations make that impossible. Take this weekend I wanted to enjoy myself with my friends and not think about food and the damage it was doing to me but its all I could think about….its becoming a obsession. I dread meals out or holidays and weekends away because it always means a week with no loss or a gain and I just want to get to goal, the more meals out and weekends away I have the longer its taking! I don’t know if I can live like that anymore. I think my other half may be getting sick of it too every time he suggests going some where for a meal I say no, or suggest somewhere I know I will be able to have something lower points or something that fits in with weight watchers which isn’t really fair on him.

Maybe its not weight watchers and maybe I’m just blaming that for my own life style but I’m really not finding it as easy as it used to be anymore and I need a solution.

Had a really good this week , went back to basics and pointed everything. I had no bread, no alcohol and no chocolate. So I really thought id see a loss this week so imagine my disappointment when I didn’t lose a thing!!!!

Im really gutted and don’t really have anything else to write about! Not losing as put me in a very bad mood L L L. Holiday this week but unfortunately I wont have hit my mini goal of being in the tens. So as soon as I get back im on mission to get to goal!
