Before After

My friends list

new beginning....starts now??

Hey, I havent been on for a while now and I am still very much over weight.
I really dont know what it is that doesn't motivate me when i know being slim is of course better than being the size of a whale, it is so frustrating.
I guess I just have to dust myself off and try again, that's all you can do isn't it is try!!

I think my problem is I have never been slim so have never felt good about being slim and feel that i am only driven to that path because of the way the world is ANTI FLAB!

Im sick of these magazines writing bad stuff about people who carry a bit of extra weight like me and do you know what makes me even more sicker that if a huge(as in famous) celeb who is slim has let herself go abit they write all kinds of horrible articles and snap pics of unflattering angles which is just so wrong because these celebs are still skinner than an average person anyway.
No wonder there are eating disorders out there!!

Any way i can rant all day but it wont change anything. Just want to find friends not just SLIMMING BUDDIES but friends that can talk about everything as i find slimming talk boring when you aint doing well lol.


I know once i get into the swing of things i can maintain a healthy weight.

I hope there are other people out there that want to be my friend so please message me :-)



hope to hear from you soon!

one step in the right direction..

well i am in my fourth week of a new healthy me and i am beginning to get used to it, I haven't drank any cola during this time which is a big shock to me as cola was my biggest downfall some days i would drink a 2ltr bottle i am ashamed to say.
I have become more active by going to the park more often which is a great feeling once you get out of that exercise rut you can get stuck in all you need to do is push yourself to do something and find you benefit a lot from it for you to carry it on.

I live in the uk and have been put on a weight management course on the nhs which is every 2 weeks for 6months. This friday coming will be my 2nd weigh in which i am nervous about as my home scales havent moved much since last time.
My main focus now is just to lose at weigh in even if its only small as i know a loss is better than a gain.

im feeling alot possitive and hope to get somewhere near goal before christmas 2009.

when i get to goal i am going to get my partner to book a posh resturant so i can buy a new dress,get my nails,hair done and teeth whitened as a reward.

taking it one step at a time ..

need some buddies

not feeling motivated and need someone who actually cares, im sick of being like this i am now 19st so why do i keep eating rubbish?

where is my gold membership i paid for grrr

no reply off extra pounds,no gold membership and my money has been taken out of my bank its been 4 days now!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

here i am again....

dam just wrote a whole blog and messed it up and lost it grrrr great start lol.

here i go again...

hello,

been off the wagon for a while and ive gained most of the weight i lost last year i am roughly 18st 7lbs but thats going off my dodgy old scales anyways...

ive just ordered some new scales which should arrive tommorow morning (fingers crossed) so when they come i can log my weight,ive already done my measurements

alots been happening for me and my health in past few weeks ive just been diagnoised with polycystic ovaries or pcos for short.

me and my partner are trying to concieve at the moment and was a bit of a shock when i found out but the best thing for me to do is to lose weight.

on wednesday i am getting a mole checked which has changed colour which i am worried about so getting that checked to make sure everythings fine.

over weekend became very ill and sunday night couldnt sleep as i couldnt breathe my asthma was really bad and inhaler wasnt helping  i felt like i was coming down with a cold and had the shivers but they went and my chest got worse so i went to the doctors yesturday and he said i have a nasty chest infection and i am on 8 pills of steriods aday now for a whole week,plus ive been given some penicillin tablets to help get rid of sores on my boobs (caused by being overweight) so you can imagen im out of it lol.

as you can see asthama,sores on boobs are a because of my weight and not eating healthy has made my immune system weak so i get ill easily so it made me decide enough is enough!! 

so here's the plan...

goals

7lb aim at a time

drink more water

cut out carbs

30mins exercise bike a day

reasons

to be healthy

to be happy

to wear nice clothes

help me bring back my confidence

to make me proud

 

ok so we didnt have a nice summer here in the uk as per usual tut but now i have my head screwed on i will aim to get to goal for next summer and who knows i might be able to show off my figure like this

plus the fact that my boyfriend fancys her lol.but theres no chance of me wearing a bikini in this country if we have a repeat performance like this so when i get to goal im gonna treat myself to a nice holiday

hiya

i am hoping to make more weightloss buddies and can chat on here and through email or msn, anyone up for it?

this year i want to lose 4 stone i think i can do that actually i know i can do that. I am going to go to boots and weigh myself  i know i have gained but at least from now on i know what my start weight was for this new start.

oh yes and the measurements need updating too  hope to speak to some of you soon xx

need to get back on track

anybody got any words of encouragement? i need to lose at least a few stone before xmas other wise i wont enjoy it again xx

yo yo shell they should call me

well had yet another bad week and avoided the scales like the plague!! gonna start to do the slim fast plan tomoz to get me back on track. x

result!

started being really good on monday i weighed in on friday (today) and ive lost 2lbs woooo hard work pays off xxx

omg

i just wrote out a whole blog and when i went to preview it and tried getting back to edit i lost it!! oh well here i go again.

been bad all last week to many take aways and fizzy pop.Not only do i feel guilty but i feel really unhealthy.My skins bad,hairs not as silky as it can be,I feel bloated and feel tired all the time.So why do i continue to be bad???

well one thing is for sure i am not waisting any more of my time being unhappy.Todays a new day  i have printed off a chart so when i do things like 30mins on my bike,drink 8 glasses of water i tick them off.I need to find somewhere to hang it.I am going to take it a stone at a time im not thinking of the 7stone i need to lose just as long as i can try and lose each week and give it my 100% effort then i will be happy.

i got my first tattoo its on my foot its really nice it hurt abit but was worth it.so i know its only on my foot but in summer i want a nice figure to go with it lol so i can walk around in my flip flops and bikini and show it off but i dont think people will be looking at my new tattoo but my new figure.

before i pick up a can of cola im gonna think of those size 10 jeans i want to be slim more than any amount of cola.

reasons for doing it:

be fit and healthy to feel and look sexy for my boyfriend to be able to bath with my boyfriend to be able to try new sex positions for my boyfriend to be able to pick me up and spin me around to fit on a ride at the fair comfortably to shop in normal shops to prove people wrong to be happy to gain more confidence

well now im going to get on my exercise bike to see how unfit i am lol.

i feel positive this week!!
