The best week of my diet...

Well I've had some good weight losses and some good work outs but because I'd hurt my ankle I'd been feeling a bit sorry for myself for the last couple of weeks.

I had also stopped going swimming and thought weight loss would slow down but I lost 3lbs!!!  I couldn't believe it and it was definitely the boost I needed to get back on and focused and keep at it...I'm also getting my very own exercise bike on monday :) so I'm not joining a gym, I'm going to have my own little one at home!!

So got back on the tredmill tonight to start warming up ready for some serious workouts and my ankle and knee were fine!!  Woooo so I'm back on with the attitude that I will survive anything thats thrown at me!!

NEXT SALE!!!!

I have just returned from the NEXT sale and as you are all aware the sizes at these things are limited and you're either coming away happy or disappointed.  I went for jeans...and...

I've come home with JEANS!!!!  with an added bonus...these aren't just any pair of jeans but the same jeans I bought at Christmas which are still in my wardrobe, they were a size 16 and after christmas the diet started and they started to feel too big so I haven't worn them since.  The new pair however are a size 12!!!!  I knew I'd dropped to a size 12 as I'd mentioned yesterday but reality hits home when you're in the same design jeans but 2 sizes smaller than last time you were!!!

They were a bargain too!!!  £28 reduced to £15 so that's half the price for half the size!!! :)

Has anyone else had a good NEXT sale experience????

Don't stop moving baby...

Hi all,

You'll all be glad to know that I have lost another 1.5lbs this week, that's 19lbs altogether.  My knee and ankle are back in working order again too you'll all be glad to hear so as from next Wednesday at 8pm I join the local leisure centre gym and I get free use of the local swimming pool included in the membership and it works out I save a lot!!  I'm really excited about it...

I've also dropped a dress size :0) I'm now official a size 12!!!  I started my diet in size 16!!!  So tomorrow is the NEXT sale so I'm getting an early night and heading down there first thing for some new jeans...that actually fit lol

Will update again soon and let you know if I managed to get any jeans

Times get hard...

Wow...this last 2 week have been hard, I was over by 10 points last week but luckily still lost 1lb!!  Anyway went out last night and I'm 12 points over but I can pull this back having 16 points Sunday, Monday & Tuesday instead of 20...that should work...

I'm half a lb off my 10% body fat loss!!  and its my 12th week next week...I'm also joining a gym :) with access to a Pool so hopefully the last stone and a bit won't take that much longer to shift!!

I'm thinking of doing my own website with all my hints and tips so if I do I'll probably no longer use this but I will provide a link to the website

Hope to hear from you all again soon, thanks for all your comments

Dissapointed and Let down...

Hi all,

I'm feeling terrible!!  I have broken my diet, the first time since the 2nd of January!!  I've had a bottle of wine...not tonight on Sunday and I tried my hardest to pull it back over yesterday and today but I couldn't do it, so I'm official 10 points over my weekly allowance :( it's weight in tomorrow and I feel like I've let myself down, so tonight I decided despite the bad knee I was going to do a good session of power walking on the tredmill...and now I'm damaged my knee more which means I'm off the tredmill for at least a week :(

I feel like a failure!!  I guess tomorrow is a fresh start though so I'll just have to work hard at swimming on Thursday and Monday!!

I'm a BIG cheat!!!

Yes that's right everybody I've cheated and got on the scales 4 days early, it did say I've lost 1.5lbs though which is an improvement from last weeks 1lb but we'll see on wednesday!!

I think if on Wednesday it proves to be true, the key after all the slimming patch testing, slimming pills and changing of weight watchers points, is SWIMMING!! 

I didn;t manage to go before last weeks weight in and lost 1lb, so I went Thursday instead and I've lost 1.5lbs already...I'm going again on Monday so Wednesday's weigh in should confirm my theory...

Hope everyone is well, happy dieting

And they're off again...

YES!!!  Got the lbs moving again and in the right directions...down!

I've been having a few blog problems so it's taken me until now to post.  I lost 2.5 lbs last week :) bring me down to spot on 11 & half stone!  The exercise is still going well and is definitely helping, 15.5 lbs I've lost now in just 9 weeks!!

So I'm on the pink patch this week and sticking to points, been out jogging again tonight with the girlies and I'm going to hit the tredmill again tomorrow night, also watch this space for an exercise bike, I've been trying to convince my dad it's a good idea for him to buy one :)

Speak to you all soon xxx

Pretty in Pink

First a quick update, I've been mega mega good again on the diet, the stay the same last week didn't beat me!!  I went running last wednesday, I went walking friday and on the tredmill, I was on the tredmill at 9.15am on Sunday morning, I went swimming last night and I've just run 1.9 miles on the tredmill in 27 minutes so I'm getting there!!!  Weight in day tomorrow, finger crossed very very tightly for a 1lb loss, I really want to hit the 1 stone mark!!

Plus, today I had a little package through the post...the PINK patch!!  I stick a patch on in the morning and it last 24 hrs, I'm going to start them tomorrow at the beginning of a new week and test them out for you all :) I only have a week's free sample so we'll see how it goes...

Please please please pray for a 1lb loss this week for me!!!
