It's Getting Closer

So I have been struggling a bit with Weight Watchers recently. I am very much back on track but the weight doesn't seem to be shifting but I think it is because I am getting closer to reaching goal.

I went to weigh in last night and managed to lose 1lb which means I only have 7lbs to lose and I will be at GOAL. I am only half a stone away from being my dream weight which I never ever thought would happen.

I go to Turkey for 3 months in 5 weeks and 6 days (not that I am counting) and I would absolutely LOVE to have reached my target weight by then. It's going to be hard but I am going to give it a damn good try.

Massive Milestone!

I hit a MASSIVE milestone last week! I lost 2.5lbs at Weight Watchers which took me to a whopping 101lbs lost... I can't believe it!

I have been on Weight Watchers since October 2007 and never did I ever think I would lose anything close to 100lbs and now I have gone over it and I am still going strong.

Not only is this one massive milestone for me, but I also went shopping the other day with my mum and bought my first pair of size 12 jeans and they fit me!

Holiday clothes shopping for me! ;)

Back To It

I don't know why I haven't been keeping up to date with my blog because it really is the only thing that can help me get back on track properly.


A lot has happened since I last wrote. I have quit my job, got back on track with the diet and have become all domesticated.

I struggled to get back on the wagon after my holiday but I needed to do it because of going away on the 6th September. It has been hard, but I am getting there slowly but surely and gradually those lbs are coming off.

BBQ season, in theory, makes it a lot easier to diet, but for some reason, it's not for my family. The BBQ comes out and then so does the mountain of meat and onion rings. How many times would you normally have a sausage, pork steak, a few chicken nuggets and a couple of onion rings on your plate? Never. So why is it automatically acceptable to have this with a BBQ? I've had to work hard to only have one meat dish along with a big salad and only 2 onion rings each BBQ. I know it is worth it but it's really not fair!

Anyway, I'm back to doing to the blog and I am back to being on track.

Stop the Wagon, I'm Getting Back On!

So after 6 weeks off of Weight Watchers, including a weeks holiday to Turkey, i am ready and willing to get back on the wagon and sort out my body and eating habits again.

These past few weeks have been fun, as they always are, but all good things have to come to an end and having booked a very exciting travelling trip for 3 months time, i have to get back to the diet.

I am going to Turkey for 3 months on 6th September so i want to feel comfortable walking around in a bikini and to do that, i have to stop eating the white chocolate chip cookies that i have become so very fond of!

So here we are, 6 weeks later and 6lbs on, it is time to kick start my new eating habits into touch.

Easy Come... Not So Easy Go

So i am back from my holiday and what a time i had! As you know, i worked bloody hard on the run-up to this holiday. I became obsessed with Weight Watchers and managed to shift just over a stone in 2 months and went away being my lightest I've ever been and boy did it feel good.

Unfortunately, my good intentions didn't last and the minute i got to the airport, it was like a green light to eat and drink what i wanted but it was so much fun and well worth it.

The holiday was fantastic, i saw my friends, spent time with my amazing man and managed to get myself a pretty impressive tan in the process.

I started off relatively well with my eating and drinking but it soon fell by the wayside and i decided to just enjoy myself and deal with the consequences when i got back and boy were they some consequences. I managed to put on 7.5lbs in one week. How the hell? I am sure i literally only have to look at food and alcohol and the weight goes back on!

Oh well, not to worry. I am back to it now and will lose the weight i put on and also an extra stone to finally get to my goal. It's getting close now and i can't wait!

The time has FINALLY come!

The time has finally come for me to say 'ciao', 'adios', 'au revoir', GOODBYE!

After a long, hard, slog on Weight Watchers, managing to lose a stone in 2 months, i am FINALLY going on holiday and i feel great!

While i don't want to watch my weight and count my points while i am away, i don't think that i am not going to be able to, so i hope that the damage isn't too extreme when i come back.

See you all soon for when i need to hop back on my wagon.

Good Things Come in Threes!

After my disappointment of putting on 0.5lb at Weight Watchers last week even though i had been so good, i was dreading being weighed last night at my meeting. I shouldn't have got so worked up about it though because i had a fantastic result... i lost 3lbs!! This means that i have lost 92.5lbs in total and i am officially the lightest i have EVER been and i am also within a healthy BMI range which i have never been.

I set myself a target at the end of February when i got back from Turkey that i wanted to lose a stone in time for my next holiday. I knew that i was going to have to be focused and really strict with myself, especially as i had 3 birthdays within the month, including my own, as well as Easter, but i was prepared for the challenge. I have been been watching what i eat, tracking all my points and have upped the exercise massively. I did border on the obsessive which raised a few eyebrows but it was well worth it. I go on holiday next Tuesday and have reached my target of losing a stone with one week to go so if i can lose weight next Monday, it will be a massive bonus.

I really cant believe that i have managed to complete my mini challenge and i am SO proud of myself. I cant wait to get on holiday now and even though i am going with 2 skinny minnies, i know that i wont be as ashamed of myself as i usually am.
