So, my last weigh in was scheduled for on or around the 7th April ... well I did say I was on annual leave so I might be a bit late. I didn't expect to be a month late but there you go!I have just weighed in for the first time in about six weeks and I have put on 2lb. Ah well, not the end of the world and certainly not unmanageable. I have had a weekend of excesses (a stonking hen weekend in

It has been over two weeks since my last weigh in ... and the result is not as impressive but quite astounding to me nevertheless. I weighed in last night when I was actually due to do so last Friday but as it was my husbands 30th party that night I was far to busy making myself beautiful in between slicing baguettes and cutting up quiche to be getting on the scales! One point of note is that my

Friday was my second weigh in since starting to follow Paul McKenna's weight loss programme. It seems bizarre and surprising that I am able to tell you that I have lost another 2lbs this fortnight! That's 4lbs in 4 weeks and probably a personal record lol. I wasn't looking forward to getting on the scales I must admit. After all, I had been on meals out and had various "naughty" foods and all the

Hi GirlsWell i have stepped on the scales this morning, can't remember last time i went on them, gotta be a few weeks.I have now lost a stone since the new year, very chuffed with myself. Can't say it was the gym, as what with everything going on i've been very hit and miss there. Can't say it's dieting either, as again, hit and miss with whether i'm eating anything somedays. So would imagaine

After last weeks fairly successful weigh in I was quite tempted to get on the scales again this week to see how I've been doing ... but I resisted. The handful of people who know what I am doing have been asking how McKenna is going for me and it's one of those that is quite difficult to answer. I definitely do feel happier and more in control and I definitely do not feel fatter. I am quite happy

Right well, Friday was day 14 of the McKenna experiment.In the last two weeks I have had a couple of meals out, a couple of takeaways, several cooked breakfasts, a few glasses of wine and couple of gin and tonics, some chocolate, crisps, cookies and pre-packed sandwiches. If you were to look at that list from a weight watchers point of view you would see an epic fail of a weigh in.However, after

Well it's been another couple of days trying to follow McKenna ... Its a bit strange because I don't feel like I'm actually following anything. I am starting to wonder if perhaps I am doing it wrong? Maybe by the time Friday comes I will have piled it on and be heavier than ever?I didn't make it to aerobics on Wednesday night and I haven't listened to the CD since Monday ... is that why I don't

It is Monday, and I have indeed managed to get in a listen of my CD ... but no Davina I'm afraid. I could have done with jumping about for a bit to be honest but it's too late now and im tired and Hubby is on the playstation so I would probably get in his way LOL!As working Mondays go I suppose today was bearable if a little less exciting that I would ideally like, but then it's half term and

This weekend has been the first weekend in a while where I haven't felt like I have gone off the rails and stuffed my face. Don't get me wrong, I've had a few alcoholic drinks and eaten a few things I wouldn't have dreamed of had I been point counting (bacon sarnie, jam doughnut, galaxy cookie crunch, camembert) but I dont feel like a great big porker today. I managed to get in a couple of Davina

Hey GirliesThought I would do an update rather than lurking about reading everyone else's blogs.I have been attending the gym since the beginning of jan an have had a sneaky weigh in and lost 11lb so far. Don't get too excited, hasn't come off easily and had given up weighing myself for a while, have been on a couple of times....probably less than once a week. As Jayne and Gem know, going

It's friday, ever since last night I have been feeling a bit agitated. I don't think its related to McKenna ... its other general life stuff. Mainly work stuff probably if I am honest. I haven't had a big old binge though on chocolate, or wine, or both. I have eaten chocolate this week and drank some wine too but not to excess.The plan for today is to go home from work, give the living room air a

I woke up today feeling in a much better mood. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was because I took the time out to fit in my CD listening session the night before, I don't know. Either way my day was not cast under a grey cloud from the moment I woke up.I had a big long chat with Jayne about how McKenna was going and whether I thought she should give it a try. I am trying to reserve

I was feeling pretty darn miserable on wednesday ... all day. Not for any reason in particular, I just woke up feeling a little grumpy and it followed me like a miserable cloud all day. My day at work was pretty rubbish and I generally felt a bit useless.In terms of the McKenna experiment I ate what I wanted but felt in control and didn't stuff my face in order to try and make myself feel better

I don't know what to say about Tuesday ... I started the day with a juice and a cuppa and shreddies for breakfast (I didn't finish the whole bowl) and then I had a packed lunch with me (cheese and cucumber roll with a yoghurt) which was fine I suppose. Then after work I had an appointment to get my hair done. Hubby was supposed to be putting some jacket spuds in the oven but when I arrived home

I was worried about today. I was worried about being in work and having to eat when it was time to eat rather than when I felt hungry. What if it got to lunch time and I was ravenous? Or worse ... what if I got to lunch time and I wasn't hungry at all and then after lunch I was starving?!Well, I got to breakfast time and had beans on toast ... I forgot one of the rules which is to eat slowly and

I woke up having had a really good night's sleep on saturday night. I felt really energised so I got up and did one of the workouts on the new Davina DVD, "Davina Fit". I did the 30 minute aerobic workout (although I fancy the kicking and punching one for after a hard day at the office!) and that seemed to do the trick on using up the energy that got me out of bed before 9.30 on a Sunday morning

As I had said, on Saturday morning I read the Paul McKenna Book from cover to cover before getting out of bed ... after i finished reading it I felt really positive about my ability to lose weight without continuing on this food obsessed state I seem to have got myself into that if I'm honest has been making me quite miserable for the last few weeks. I tried to explain to Hubby what I had read

I don't know if you heard it but a couple of weeks ago Paul McKenna was on Radio 1 with Chris Moyles ... he did a little on-air thing with Comedy Dave and Producer Rachael to stop them craving chocolate. I was stuck in a queue of traffic trying to get off the M54 so I joined in and to cut a long story short I haven't had a chocolate craving since.So, after this bizarre experience of Paul McKenna

Just thought I'd update you on my exercise regime so far this week.I went to the gym on Wednesday and managed a 200 cal loss. I went yesterday and did a 300 cal loss and feel so much better for doing it. Also, I went home last night and did some of the Davina "power of 3" dvd that I had from Vix. Mmmmmmmmy god. I think she tried to kill me!!! I did the warm up which was ok, HOWEVER, when I got to

Don't pass out everyone ... but I actually made it to aerobics last night. Oh yes! I tell you what, I am feeling the burn this morning but actually, despite some moaning and groaning and not really wanting to make the effort to go, once I was there I quite enjoyed myself. That's the feeling I need to remember. The feeling of adrenaline energy and nicely aching muscles. It's all good.I have my gym

This weeks weigh in was better than anticipated. I did a pre-meeting weigh in on the wii fit before I went to weight watchers and it looked like my weight had stayed pretty much the same. So, I went upstairs and changed out of my jeans and into my leggings and when I got on the scales for the official verdict I had lost 1.5lbs. That's the same 1.5 lbs that I put on last week so that means I'm

As you know. I skived weigh in last week as I was too scared to see the damage. However, since last Wednesday I have been saintly. I have been staying within points, eating lots of fruit and I went to the gym 3 times (wed, thurs and fri).Monday's weigh in showed that I now weigh 10st 5 and a half lb. Which is what I weighed on 18th January. So what ever I put on last week I have luckily lost.

Ok, ok. I didn't make it to aerobics after all last week. I went out for a lovely meal on tuesday and had far too much wine for a school night. I got up late and a little hungover so I stumbled out of the door in a daze without my kit. I didn't really attempt to do anything else remotely like exercise all week ... apart from a walk over to my Ma and Pa's on friday afternoon which isn't exactly

Ok. I am rubbish. You can say it...Go on...shout it...RUBBISH.I wanted a 2lb loss and instead scoffed and got too scarred to weigh in. I then continued to be naughty Monday night and Tuesday. I ate so much on Tuesday that I gave myself belly ache. How bad it that. Anyway. In a strange way it helped me and I woke up Wednesday morning with my diet mojo back. I was good all day and went to

As predicted my weigh in for this week was not a happy experience ... I put on 1.5lbs and it was thoroughly deserved. I earned that gain for sure lol. Tonight I am going out with the family to celebrate BG's graduation. I fully intend to order something that comes with chips and the spectacular banoffee pie with the free glass of wine that I have a voucher for. However, on wednesday I WILL make

I seem to have lost every once of willpower this week. I have eaten untold amounts of rubbish including pie and chips, cheeseburger, bourbon pecan pie, monster munch and a cadbury's creme egg PLUS finishing off the best part of a packet of hob nobs and two bottles of wine over the course of the last seven days. It's not looking good for tonight's weigh in and to be honest I don't think I care LOL

Since my last blog I managed to either catch a bug or get food poisoning ... not at all fun. I became ill on Friday morning after having (close your ears Jayne) a takeaway pizza on Thursday evening. I suppose you could call it karma for eating something I had no business to be eating in the first place. In any case I was horrendously sick and ate barely anything for about three days. On Sunday I

Last nights weigh in went ok. I lost 2 and 1/4lb taking me to 10st 5 and a 1/4lb. I was hoping for a 3lb loss, but thats all my body and mind allowed this week so can't grumble.I haven't been to the gym since before Christmas. Mainly due to snow, early closing and being lazy. I did make myslef do some of my exercise dvd last night once Fin had gone to bed. I did'nt manage the 50 mins like I

First the bad news.Weight watchers was not called off due to the snow. I've gone back under 11st so I lose that extra point and am back to an allowance of 19 per day. That one point doesn't half make a difference you know! Our weight watchers leader Angie has given up taking our Monday meeting to spend more time at home. And the good news?I lost 2.5lbs this week taking me back into the 10st

Weigh in was more than a little disappointing. I almost didn't go. I knew I had gained, and I knew it was a lot as I could feel it in my clothes and my stomach felt like it had been stretched so much it was almost painful. However, I was a bit upset to discover I was back over the 11st bracket. 11st and 1lb to be precise. Drat.So, things I need to note at this point are:I must remember how

After spending the last two weeks fully in the festive spirit celebrating and socializing today it is back down to earth with a bump. A big one. A big wibbly wobbly bellied bump.It is the first weigh in of the year this evening ... not a prospect I am looking forward to in the slightest. I know there has been a huge gain but I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I have stayed under the 11

This weeks weigh in was not the delayed success of the previous weeks good behaviour that I had hoped for. I was feeling deflated and tired and I couldn't be bothered to count every last little thing that I put in my mouth especially as I wanted to eat everything in sight! I knew I had three food obstacles to overcome before the next weigh in and that it was unlikely that I would lose even if I

After a stonking 4lb weight loss last week this weeks weigh in was less impressive. I was good ALL week, I swear it!!! I saved up 8 points during the week to use at the weekend. I stayed within my daily allowance on Friday night (which is rare) and used my saved points for a bourbon pecan pie on Saturday. On Sunday Hubby and I had a Chinese takeaway but I only had a chow mein which was within my

So, after weigh in on Monday I treated myself to eating my full 19 points allowance. I had two fajita wraps with low fat cheese that were lovingly cobbled together by Hubby. Now, Hubby is not a fan of "diet" food items in general so was already suspicious of the low fat cheese I had bought. "It's just wrong" complained hubby while pulling a face like he'd been sucking on a lemon. "It can't be," I

Monday's weigh in was unprecedented success ... you know that evil thought I had about losing 4lbs? I only ruddy well went and did it! 4lbs off taking me to 10st 8lbs (in jeans) and the lightest I have been since the blog began. Hurrah! Yeay for me!!!So, looking back at my week what did I do that worked for me?I was honest. I wrote down everything, even at the weekend when I ate more points that

It's weigh in tonight ... and all my good intentions remained intact for the whole weekend. I planned. I tracked. And I said no ... several times. I'm really quite proud of myself actually. I admit I have had a couple of hungry days. On saturday I was especially hungry as I had planned and tracked for half a pizza for my tea (7.5 points) but after I had eaten it I was still hungry. I enjoyed it.

I was well aware, when I was dragged kicking and screaming to weigh in by Mom and BG, that there was going to be a gain this week. I was prepared for the scales to have gone in the wrong direction. I was NOT however, prepared to have gained 3lbs in 7 days. That's just crazy! It also means that I now have 9lbs to lose if I am going to get to my 10% goal before Christmas rather than the original

I wanted to blog two things before I go to weigh in tonight.Firstly I have made an amazing discovery (no, not marmite cheese and marmite cashews which although were introduced to me this week are not what I m referring to) ... the discovery was mysupermarket.co.uk .

Since my last post I have done my duties as bridesmaid, had my weeks holiday and had the first weigh in following that. Somehow (and I'm not quite sure how it happened so please don't ask me) I managed to lose half a lb on Monday since my previous weigh in. I have to confess that I ate out every night for just over seven days, however I did also walk up not one but two mountains and do a sizable

Well since my last blog it has all been up and down. The weigh in after I blogged I had lost 1lb as I had been saintly. However, my naughty side came out for a few weeks and I gained. I did do weigh in, but didn't really pay attention to what weight I was. Although I wasn't happy about it, so last monday (oct 19th) I decided I was too unhappy and a little spotty from eating crap and decided

Weigh in night last night ... and it was another non-eventful week of staying the same. That's no mean feat actually when I consider the heavy weekend that I had. Hen Nights and Takeaways are not a weight watchers match made in heaven after all. However, I am quite happy with that result. I have had a bridesmaid outfit trying on session and the dress fits perfectly (apart from the need for a

Remember me?It sure has been a while. But i'm back. I got to goal a few months ago and then have been gaining and loosing ever since. I have been on holiday, celebrated bithdays, been to weddings, hen nights, festivals etc. I did gain 5lb during this, but then have been loosing.

Dear Blog,I'm sorry for having abandoned you for so long. I know it's no excuse but I have been really busy with work the last month or so. It's taken up a lot of my attention and you have been neglected. I've also had a busy social calendar ... weddings, birthdays (including my own and Jayne's 30th's), hen weekends and much, much more.

Rubbish behaviour from me again, 1lb on!! Why oh why can't i just behave myself.I was standing behind this mega slim girl at ww today, had a sneaky peak at the front of her card, had loads of shiny number 7 stickers....mustve lost at least 4 stone!!

2 1/2lb loss for me this week, quite chuffed as that means i only have 2lb to go before 1st stone off....only another stone to go after that....seems impossible, but i#ve gotta do it.Have tried my hardest to behave this week, although slipped up on Friday with no tracking and going to an indian wedding, so lots of scrummy indian food and 2 glasses of vino.Managed to get on the wii fit most

Today was weigh in day and my first day back at work after my two weeks annual leave. My first day back at work was pretty much as expected ... miserable and depressing. Weigh in brought similar emotions. My two weeks of not properly tracking, not weighing or measuring, not exercising and generally saying yes to wine and puddings has meant an enormous gain of 2lb this week. Vile. That puts me

Today is the final day of my annual leave from work ... I just have the weekend to go before I am back in that rather gloomy office staring at the computer screen for eight hours a day five days a week. In the current climate I can't complain about having a job but I have really quite enjoyed being at home, visiting family and friends, doing a few jobs around the house and generally recharging my

I am gobsmacked this week. Absolutely gobsmacked. The scales said that I have lost 2lb since last week. That can't be right surely? Although my Wii Fit seemed to agree with the weight watchers scales too. They say that I am 10st 10 and 1/2 lbs ... it also means I have lost 5% of my body weight since going back to meetings. I've got 7 and 1/2 more lbs to go till I get to 10st 3lbs, which is my

You could say that I have not been folowing the ww diet for the last 2 weeks. And, well...you'd be right, i havent. I have still been doing exercise, but not been counting points and have deffinatly eaten way too many biscuits.This week I have gained a tiny 1/4 of a lb. Which is quite a miricle after what I ate to be fair. So hoping it won't catch up with me next week. I now weigh 10 stone

Ok, so my weight watchers leader didn't actually revoke my silver seven ... but I did have a teensy weensy gain of 1lb this week which I absolutely deserved and actually then some. That puts me back at 10st 12 and 1/2 lbs. It could have been far, far worse and at least I didn't go back into the 11 stone bracket.I did over indulge, I know that I did but it was our friends wedding on Saturday so

But i'm not too bothered about it to be fair. I gained 3/4 of a lb. However I did have a fun weekend so I canny complain. Saturday was finchfest day. A fabulous party which included a lot of drink, food, but also dancing. Sunday I took Fin to the City show and we had a picnic and an icecream. Yummy. Monday and tuesday also didn't go well as I pigged out both days. Tut. Anyway. Got back

While looking around for inspiration from other real life weight watching stories on Google's blog search I came across the rather interesting Anti Weight Watchers blog ... quite amusing really, and a very definite example of how not to do it.My favourite article so far was "Swine Flu?

Woohoo!!! Last night I got my first silver seven since returning to weight watchers meetings in June. I lost 1 and 1/2 lbs which takes me to 10st 11 and 1/2 lbs and only another 1 and 1/2 lbs to go till I have lost 5% of my body weight!

Something strange happened to me yesterday. I had made plans to go to a class with my aerobics buddy Sam (the bride-to-be) and I have to say that I have never wanted to go to aerobics less than I did last night. I reeeeally didn't want to go. I huffed and I puffed and I sulked but there was no excuse I could make to get me out of it. That isn't the strange thing though. What was strange was that

I have got to goal this week. I lost 3/4lb which means I again weigh 10 stone. Yay. This time I am not taking advantage of this as I know how quickly I gain. So sticking to my fitness routine of going to the gym twice a week with added extra's of walking or exercise DVD. I am going to stick with my normal points (18) during the week giving me more flexability of a weekend. I think this will mean

Well, I have to say my weekend at Wembley on the Take That diet seems to have done the trick. Whether it was the several hundred shopping miles that were covered on Sunday or all the bouncing around and screaming done on Saturday I couldn't say, but somehow I weighed 10st 13lbs at last nights meeting losing another 1lb this week. That's right! I'm only bloody into the tens for the first time in

Before weigh in later this evening I just wanted to make a post which says I know I will not have lost this week. In fact, I am almost certain of a gain on the scales. This weekend was the Take That concert in Wembley and me and my mom went down on the train early on Saturday morning, stayed overnight B&B and came back late Sunday afternoon. You know what that means? I did a fair bit of eating

I feel ever so slightly cheated this week. I was unusually well behaved, not just during the working week but also all weekend. I ate, I drank, I socialised ... but all within my weekly points. In fact, I has 7.5 points left over at the end of the week and I had also earned 6.5 activity points that I didn't eat. So tell me, why then did I only lose ONE MEASLY LB on the scales? Yes, I know that a

Not quite an addict, but as you will see I have done lots of extra exercise this week.Weigh in last night showed a loss of 1 and 1/4lb. Taking me to 10st and 3/4lb. Aaaaalmost back at goal weight. I am pleased with that. I was very unsure what the scales would say as I had gone over my points at least 3 days. On wednesday I had a 2 course meal at the 6th form ball and a few drinks, Friday I

I've just been doing a bit of reflecting on my week so far ... It's Sunday, and I will tentatively say that the weekend seems to have gone without too much of a hitch. This is unusual for me ;) The wii fit graph is at it lowest point since I had the darn thing twelve months ago ... and it reckons I might just have edged into the tens *gasp*!I took a similar strategy to last week, trying to save

I was a little disappointed with my weigh in yesterday ... rather than creeping into the tens as planned I actually had a half pound gain. Now, this is actually quite remarkable when I think about what I shoveled down my neck this weekend.We went out for a meal on friday night with some friends to a pub with no healthy options. Not only that they "accidentally" charged us twice for the three

Weigh in last night showed a loss of half a lb. Not bad...could have been better...but I am pleased with a loss. I only went to the gym once last week and I did go over my points on friday and saturday. Friday night I found myself eating some sweets and a curly wurly. Saturday I made a ww chicken curry and had half a bag of rice and I did go over my points by 4 by having a naan bread.On sunday I

I was a little bit disappointed on Monday not to have had a bigger loss so this week I am going all guns blazing with the points. I felt like I needed something tasty on Monday night as a treat after weigh in so I had Spag Bol but I stayed within my 20 points allowance. However, for the rest of the week (well, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and probably Sunday) I am going to try to have 16 points

So almost back at goal after falling completly off the wagon.I was also at home all of last week as Finley was off nursery, so I think a 2lb loss is pretty damn good as I normally struggle to diet when I am at home, but the naughty food was hidden and to be honest, I was really keen

Weigh in last night ... not quite the overwhelming success of last week but I managed a loss nevertheless. A whopping half a lb LOL. So, not quite into the tens yet I'm hovering at 11st and 1/2 a lb. How bloomin frustrating!!! It wasn't just me, no one at meetings seemed to lose mega amounts. It seemed a slow week. Perhaps it was the weather.I've been trying to identify why last week I managed to

My challenging weekend theme continues ... not so bad as last week when I accidentally ate 45 points but I still consumed a fair amount. I had 6 points too many last night BUT there is a distinct difference to last night's over eating and the overeating I was doing before I was paying for weight watchers meetings. That is, I have been completely honest on my tracker about it, and not only that, I

Well I weighed in on Monday and the scales showed a loss of 1 and a half lb. Wooohooo. I was quite surprised about this as I had not been overly well behaved. I wasn't eating naughty things, but over eating good things..if you know what i mean. I was only working mornings last week as Finley has chicken pox so I was coming home at 12:30 so that Tony could then get off to work. Being at home

Last night was weigh in day ... the first one since I started back at meetings last week. I was reluctant about paying for someone to weigh me but I tell you what, it bloody well worked. I lost 3 and 1/2 lbs this week!!! That makes me 11st 1lb. I am ecstatic, I really am! Just think what I would have lost if I hadn't had that boo-boo with the pizza? Now, I have been at this weight once or twice

Weekends are often a struggle for me ... this weekend I felt prepared. I had saved 7 points during the week and had got 11 points left for tea yesterday so that I had 18n points to enjoy a celebratory tea and a glass or two of wine with Hubby who had his last exam that afternoon.We decided to get a takeaway and after all his hard work it was his choice of cuisine. He chose pizza, my favourite and

As if any of us ever needed an excuse ... here is the revelation that curry is actually good for you. It's a brain food."Eating a curry once or twice a week could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer'sdisease and dementia, a US researcher suggests."So there you have it ... and with the average meal from an Indian restaurant containing something in the region of 37 weight watchers points (Chicken

Ok...I know it has been a while. The last time I blogged was 19 May. I had put on 1 and a half lb that week. Totally rubbish. Anyway I weighed in on 23rd May (day before I went of my camping trip) and I had lost that 1b and half taking me back to 10stone 2lb. However...I then went on holiday and had a week off work so I knew there would be a gain. I weighed in on Monday (1st June)And I was right

After ummming and aaaahing about whether or not to take the plunge (into my purse) and pay to go to weight watchers meetings I eventually decided that it was my only hope of reaching my goal weight at any time soon. So on Monday me, my Mom and my Brother's Girlfriend tootled round to the local high school for the 6.45 meeting. (I decided the Tuesday night one was too early for me to realistically

To give myself a kick up the bum I decided to weigh in early and hopped on the wii fit last night instead of leaving it till today. I've gained 1 and a half lbs ... not a surprise. Back to 11st 3lbs. I really do seem to be having trouble controlling myself. I've had a rubbish week on the diet. I really have. I seem to have no motivation to eat well at all, despite feeling like a big roly poly and

I weighed in on Friday as planned ... I managed to lose a rather measly 1/2 a lb taking me to 11st 1 and a 1/2 lbs. I suppose I should be grateful for a loss at all because to be perfectly honest I wasn't that well behaved last week so I put the loss down to my trip to aerobics. Then of course it has been a bank holiday weekend so there have been plenty of opportunities for naughtiness too

Well folks. I did weigh in last night and I am 10 stone 3 and a half lb. That's a gain of 1 and a half lb. Rubbish. Going to try my hardest to be good this week and I will have weigh in on Friday as I am going away early saturday morning.Jayne x

Oh forgot to blog...I did loose last week...2lb in fact. I was pleased with that as I had been really well behaved.THEN IT ALL WENT WRONG lol.On Tuesday last week I was still doing well. I'd had my usual cereal for breakfast and a salad for lunch with a yogurt for pudding. That day I went to the gym and did 15 minutes on the treadmill. Then decided to do a spin class. After 15 minutes I

It's been about two weeks since my last confession ... errr I mean blog post. In fairness that's because not a lot has happened. Apart from our power walk (which was good by the way) I haven't really exercised or properly attempted to diet and my weight hasn't budged. I am stuck quite firmly at 11st 2lbs. Humph.Anyway ... I have aerobics planned for tonight and two of my exercise buddies Sam and

I have been soooo well behaved this week. Even at the weekend. No biscuits, cakes or crisps were eaten and I had 1 curly wurly last night. The only one all week so I am very pleased about that. I have been very saintly indeed. I stayed within my points everyday and went to the gym twice and we went for our power walk on Friday which was very enjoyable.I had weigh in yesterday morning as I am

I think you can pretty much guarantee that if I am quiet on the blog I am doing some diet related misbehaving. Well, since last weigh in - which was very very good - I have been being very very bad. In short, I am back up to 11st 2.5lb which is rubbish. I have skipped meals then filled up on junk, eaten out, ordered in, had not one but TWO delicious BBQs over the bank holiday weekend and

I have stayed the same the last 2 weeks. I want to loose 4lb but struggling to be good. I can't help but pig out of an evening and a weekend. This needs to STOP. Not only is it not helping me loose weight, but I am eating lots of crap so it is making me feel all bloated and rubbish.I have been chatting with my fellow dieters this morning and we came up with a plan. Myself, Gem and Vix need to

Well, after the 3lb holiday gain I weighed myself twice since my last blog post.On the first weigh in last thursday (I think?) I had gone back down to 11st 2lbs ... phewee. Thankfully the holiday weight seemed to drop off once I started eating normally.Then monday night at the official weigh in I had lost anther 1 and 1/2 lbs ... that makes me 11st and 1/2 lb. I think that is the lightest I have

Well. It's been a while since I have wrtten on this blog. Since getting to goal I have put on 4lb. Thats due to easter and eating lots of chocolate, having a week off work and then just not getting back in to the swing of it.So I know weigh 10 stone 4lb. I didn't do well last week at all. But hoping there won't be a gain tonight...I was good during the working day. But as soon as I got home I

I suspect it is obvious from my lack of triumphant posting that I didn't quite meet mini goal :( I weighed in on thursday evening before the Easter weekend and was a dissapointing 11st 1lb. Darn.So, I was a great big fail whale on the mini goal front but still proceeded to have a jolly nice holiday in lincolnshire for the long weekend and stuff my face like a good un. I put on 3lbs so I'm back up

The smug little wii fit announced yesterday that my "weight has increased a little". Blargh. "A little" on the wii fit means about half a lb. Dammit. I was supposed to get to mini goal last night! Humph. Nevermind, I am not calling it a fail just yet. I wanted to be 11 stone or under before the long easter weekend and that is still a few days away. With utterly saintly behaviour and if I can go

Well, all I can say is that Go Ape must be brrrrrrilliant exercise because somehow ... despite the cake, curry buffet, gallons of wine, fish and chips and whatever else passed my lips last week I managed to lose 1lb when I weighed in last night. Amazing! That takes me to 11st 1lb ... and only 1lb away from my mini goal for next week. Whoop!I've been fairly well behaved since the start of this

I'm not weighing in tonight ... that will have to wait until tomorrow. I am going to aerobics tonight in a desperate attempt to undo at least some of the damage I inflicted on my weight loss this week. It was a week of diet dreadfuls.Dreadful Number 1 - Hubby's birthday. This meant birthday cake (chocolate celebration cake from asda, delish) and a Chinese takeaway (I could have been good and had

As I have mentioned in previous posts. Since getting to goal I have been less saintly. I have been pigging out on biscuits and chocolate. Not good. Not only will I gain weight from doing this, but it is very un-healthy.Now I am at the weight I am happy with I need to make sure I eat healthy and stay active. Will make me feel better inside and out. Lately I have been feeling, tired and lazy.

The new mini goal is off to a good start. At yesterday's weigh in I managed to lose another 2lbs taking me down to 11st 2lb. I think that is my lowest weight since I started on the slimming adventure last year. It also means that I have lost 7lbs - half a stone - since the start of the year. WOOHOO!In the back of my mind I am kind of thinking back to last year though ... and last year I got stuck

Weigh in last night showed a gain of 1/4lb. Taking me to 10st 1lb. Not bad considering all the rubbish I ate and not counting my points again.I am using my tracker this week though and I am going to count everything. I am booked in to the gym today and Thursday and I'm hoping to loose that 1lb by next Monday. If not loose. Then I don't want to gain anymore.I am good during the day. But once

I didn't have time to weigh in on Monday as I was at Finley's parents eveining and it was late when I got home. So I did a weigh in last night. I was 10 stone and 3/4lb which is a gain of 1lb. I think that is ok as I know I will go up and down around 10 stone from now on. It's what happens to everyone at the end of the day. No one is the same weight week in, week out.

Right ... I have decided on a new mini goal. It's very mini. Graduation isn't until the 20th June, which is too far away for a mini goal. By rights I should be at my actual goal by then but let's not think about that for now.I have a few days away booked for over Easter ... Me, Hubby, Mom, Dad, Brother and his Girlfriend are going to Lincolshire for a short break in a cottage in the countryside.
