Welcome

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Blog. I'm new to this so please bear with me. I have always been overweight and unhappy about myself for as long as I remember.

I have tried to lose weight so many times I've lost count. Then one day everything clicked and I realised that I didn't need to put a time limit and being a perfect weight and being perfect. If I worked at it a little bit everyday it would all come together. So I joined Weight Watchers for the third time and without putting pressure on myself and feeling like a failure decided I would just try baby steps everyday.

This decision led to a new way of thinking and a new me........

38lb Down..What a difference a little weight loss makes!

Hi All,

Feeling the cravings majorly all weekend! So far on track though! Sitting down now to a movie with a mini pack of popcorn (2) and a purple snack (3).

Fighting them off and staying strong! Have weigh in one day early as my exams start Tuesday so my schedule isn't as normal.

Fingers crossed it good! 1lb! 1lb! 1lb! I'll be happy with that!

Trying to keep motivated so took a new picture and have it on my phone to keep me going! Here it is!

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail!

Hi All,

Well good weekend so far! Really managing to keep on track, four weeks in and still feeling very positive about ww and losing weight.

My mantra is 1lb per week is 52lb in a year. My aim every week is for that 1lb. And so far so good. It's really keeping me going.

Didn't really enjoy my sandwich yesterday for lunch and I was so disappointed that my points were wasted on it. Just goes to show how important it is to keep the food tasty and enjoyable.

Another big thing I'm finding helpful is planning out the week. Every week after Weigh In, myself and my boyfriend Chris plan out a list of dinners and lunches for the week. Sometimes they can swap and change but still a list of lunches and dinners ready made and we make sure we shop for all the ingredients.

The last two weeks I have made a large batch of chilli mince with tonnes of veg and froze it in portions. It is so versatile! Can be had with pasta, on wraps, with mash as shepherds pie, with Nachos or with actifry chips and cheese as homemade Chilli fries! We make a list and pop it on the fridge, its really helping.

Breakfast is nearly always the same and easy to manage so thats why I haven't entered it



 Heres the List:
 Hope you are all having a great week!

Week 3 Weigh In & Iron Man 3!

Hi All,

Well tonight was my third Weight Watchers Weigh In since rejoining and I lost 2.5lb, that's a total of 5lb in three weeks! I'm delighted with that! Right on track for that 1lb per week goal!

My boyfriend lost 1.5lb tonight bringing his total loss to 6.5lb in just three weeks! His goal is to lose 30lb so that's over 20% of that gone already. I think he might be a WW convert! :P

After weigh in we treated ourselves to Iron Man 3 in 3D iSense. It was brilliant and needless to say we rewarded ourselves with some cinema treats! We never use our 49 weeklies during the week. We save them for a post weigh in treat which we find it is something to look forward to after each weigh in!

Onwards and downwards!

More Exercise?!

Well Day 3 today and another walk in! 3 days in a row?! Shocking! I can't remember the last time I exercised nevermind did it consistently!

Also my food has been in check only into my weeklies by 4 so thats great going!

Really looking forward to my weigh in! 

Exercise!!

Well the aim for this week was to exercise more! Exercise is my weakest point! I'm so bad at it!!

I normally am an all or nothing person! So i decide to join the gym, nearly kill myself exercising and then I hate it even more and its this big vicious circle!

So this time I decided to try and take a calmer approach! So I went for a 40minute walk yesterday and a 50minute walk today,  I'm pretty proud of that! Really motivated to get a good loss this week as it's the last one before weigh in!!

Fingers crossed!!

Also made homemade lasagna today!! Was YUM!!!!

RECIPE!!

It's easy when you want to!

Well I posted this video last week.....



It was quite an emotional update and it was really getting the better of me. But one thing which is clear was that I WANTED to get back on track. When I went to my meeting I had gained 8lb and all I wanted to do was have a good week and get a loss.

Our Leader talked about wanting to do it and how its so much easier when you want to do something and she was dead right! This week was a breeze compared to any other week I've struggled through this week.

My new video is processing so when it's ready I'll pop it up with my Weigh in result!!
