Im going on holiday to Majorca in just over 4 weeks and weighed myself other week to find that id put on a stone and was up to 12stone 5 1/2lbs eeek. So ive lost 4lbs in the first week and set another goal of 4lbs for this week - ok so ive still got two days til weigh in but in despondent already when i weighed myself yesterday i was 11st 13lbs - weighed myself this morning 12st 1lbs WHAT! how can i put 2lb on in a day? i followed the plan religiously. ok so i didnt go running yesterday which i have been doin every day. i went for a long walk instead :S confused. should i just hide my scales and go to the pharmacy and weigh myself there every week? i really want to be a decent weight for hols. i want to be 11st by then so another stone in 4 weeks bit of a push i no but that works out as 3.5lbs a week - and that deffo is possible i just need to do something. im following the slimming world plan so would appreciate some help.

thanks x

So 2010 was a great year for me in many different ways - I lost my first two stone (would have liked more but if I’m totally honest - after may i wasn’t been dedicated to it, following the plan on and off for the past 7 months)

I graduated from university which was a massive achievement as towards the end I contemplated giving up as I found it hard to deal with the work load and living so far from home, however I have now realised that it has made me a better stronger person.

I got myself a full time job - ok so its not the life career im after but its one to help pay off my overdraft and get me towards work experience to gain the job I  so badly want.

I am beginning to look in the mirror and like what I am seeing, I am beginning to like me for who I am and realising there are things that I have to offer to people.

2011 is the year I am truly going to focus on me and what I need to do in order to move forward and a happy life.

I aim to be a better person, a better friend, worry less, live more, laugh more and love more. Life is for living Im not going to spend it worrying about how fast time is going then to sit there 70 years from now thinking what on earth did i do with my life.

Heres to an amazing year. Have a great one everyone

well there we go there was me goin along thinking ive lost weight i can eat that bit more it wnt matter…. turns out it did matter….7lbs matters :O i cud have cried when i stood on the scales and saw 12 stone flashing up on the screen again… that did it thou that made me realise i had to stop wot i was doing and pick myself up. so i went back to basics and lost 5 1/2lbs in my first week bringing me bck to 11st 8lbs…. plus it helped havin someone i could text when i felt like i was gonna slip and stuff my face

so my goal this week is to lose another 3lbs getting me down to 11stone 5lbs wud love to be under 11 stone for xmas that wud b an amazing present for myself

hope ur days going well x

So I got back off of my holiday and weighed myself and cringed when I saw 11st 12.5lbs on the screen… considering about 3 weeks ago I was 11st 6lbs that kind of hurt a little bit, but then I thought hang on you’ve still come a bloody long way since you started, give yourself a break.

So Friday morning I threw myself back into slimming world plan, making sure I filled up on plenty of fruit and veg. I weighed myself this morning as Im impatient and the scales read, 11stone 10.5lbs woohoo its going down so im hoping by my proper weigh in on Friday this week it will read a lovely number on the scales

A buddyslim friend on here suggested that we do a christmas challenge together, 1 stone by Christmas…. 8 weeks to a stone is achievable and to be honest I’m really looking forward to the idea of having a challenge with someone to lose the weight… something to work towards…. meaning I could be 10st 10.5lbs by Christmas….I think I will pass out when I see the 10 stone digit flash up…. I havent been that weight since I was 13 ouch

 hope ur day is going good… im now about to go hunt out the ingredients to a massive roast dinner (o yes i can have a massive roast dinner and lose weight BRING IT ON!!!)

ive just bought myself some weightwatchers raspberry cheesecake and then realised i dont actually know what the syn value is so cant eat it until i do HEEEEEELP

thanks v much hope ur days are going good x

OMG I can’t believe that October is here already how quick is this year flying by? October is going to (fingers crossed) be a busy month for me and I will have to try really hard to keep the food eating under control, as i failed miserably last month, was so excited to be 11 stone 6 that little bit closer to goal and then something happened, i dunno wot but something happened and ive creeped back up to 11stone 8 1/2 lbs so wot a 2 and 1/2lb gain it can be lost i hear u say. but i just dnt no wot happened.

Any who I have an interview on Tuesday which I am really nervous about because I really want this job, if i get it, it will mean I will be out of my money problems by new year, it will give me a change, a chance to meet new people and improve on myself as a person woo. so fingers crossed it goes well. my plans for this weekend as it has been for hte past week has been research and prepare, i just bought myself a pair of shoes so that i have now completed by purchases for the perfect interview outfit, first impressions are everything im looking thru interview questions and researching the company, we are gonna be put into roleplay situations which considering i have just completed a degree in drama and theatre performance, role play shud be a situation in which i am comfortable :S

So my goals for this month is:

Get down to 10stone 13lbs by 1st November

Start my running training again because I gave up when I found out I wasnt running in the London Marathon and build up to three miles straight again.

Cut down on the amount of diet coke that I drink

Start taking more care in my appearance.

and hopefully get me a full time job

hope ur days are going good x

So yeah I admit it, I slipped and fell down for a while constantly losing and putting on the same 2lb going from 11stone 8 - 11 stone 10 every week and it would wind me up and I couldnt really be bothered but somehow managed to stay in that same range since June. I am coming up to the week where I find out whether or not I am running the Virgin London Marathon in April 2011 and I am so nervous about that, so I somehow managed to sort my head out into the thinking that I need to sort out my weight again and my health. I havent been able to run for the last 2 weeks because I got ill :’( so am leaving it til monday when hopefully I am fully recovered and if I am totally honest I am really missing running but scared about how this time off is going to affect my running. I have printed myself a 24 marathon training plan for beginners from the Virgin Marathon site and plan on following that from Monday. OMG I so hope that I get to run the marathon, I’ve always said I wanted to run it when I was 21 so fingers crossed

So yeah I started my weight loss journey again at 11 stone 8 1/2 lbs and I weighed myself today and I am 11stone 6 1/2 lbs!!! yes!!! finally the right direction. I will be dwn to 10 stone 13lbs in no time.

Hope ur days are going good x

I know my posts usually seem to consist of boo my life is so crap ( i dnt mean to make it sound like it, just make clear that i know im wasting it yet still seem to lack the skills of knowing how to correct it) i.e my patheticness around guys (cudnt quite think of the right wrds there but i think that pretty much describes it, my mates have sed that i put on a F**** OFF!! face one if a guy comes near me, I am not aware that i am ever doing this so have no idea how to stop myself and how to sort it out, im always paranoid that guys wud simply be talking to me for a dare…. joke etc…. and would like some advice on how to shake this negative view point…

im more confident now ive lost weight, but not confident enuf, i dnt no how to act in most social situations, i freeze up and find it hard to tlk to people, more than likely becoz i have convinced myself that everyone round me is that much prettier and obv that much more interesting than ME

 hmmm seriously gonna have to work on these “issues” :S

hope ur days are going good

Food plan

Breakfast: 30g cornflakes (5 1/2 syns)  and a glass of water - was supposed to b 2 x boiled eggs but coz i took bacon out instead of chicken from freezer had to use eggs for lunch instead.

Lunch: Packet of salt and vinegar french fries (4 1/2 syns) 2 slices of wholemeal bread with egg x2, mullerlight yogurt and 2 squares of milka chocolate (3syns for 2 squares!!)

 Snack: baked beans, golden vegetable rice (both free)

Tea: 100g lean mince (2 syns) mushrooms, peppers, onion, oxo cube, mixed vegetables and spaghetti

I was all looking forward to having a chicken sandwich for lunch this afternoon but when i got up to cook it I realised i had pulled bacon out of the freezer instead the nite before so had to have cereal for breakfast which upped my syn intake and have egg sandwich for lunch instead…. got a bit weak and caved into 2 squares of choc which i cant believe is 3 syns will have to invest in some fun size choc packs. After work i was feeling a little light headed so when i got home i heated up some left over baked beans and had them as well as some golden vegetable rice which is well nice

so now for tea im having spag bol

hope ur days are going well lainey x

So this is the start of my 12 week challenge.

I weighed myself this morning and my new starting weight is:

Starting weight: 11stone 10lbs ( 164lbs)

So I’m ready to start again and work towards losing even more weight hopefully a stone and a half (21lbs) by Halloween. My breakfast went well I’ve got high hopes for this working again I am still following Slimming World as I swear by it

Breakfast: 2 x quorn sausages (free) baked beans (free) mushrooms fried in frylight (free) bacon (free) egg fried in frylight (free) 1level tbsp of brown sauce (1 syn) and a big glass of water.

Lunch: 1 can of weightwatchers country vegetable soup (healthy b) packet of quavers (4 1/2 syns) weight watchers yogurt (free) and a big glass of water.

Tea: Weightwatchers cottage pie (3 1/2 syns) with lots of mixed vegetables (free) and oxo gravy (free) weight watchers yogurt (free)

Total syns: 9syns

Ok I know that I’m relying on the enemy weightloss group weightwatchers lol but slimming world dont do their own food ranges and weightwatchers products are reasonable in their syn allowance and tasty. So off to a good start me thinks hope ur day is going well
