Day 225

So last Tuesday I went to WI, wasn't really sure if I'd be up or down, I wanted to be down by at least 1.5lbs, if 2lbs then great but I was down 3lbs! WHOO HOO!!! I am now 13 stone 8.5lbs so my next week target is to get 1.5lbs so I can say I am 13 and a half stone.

Foodwise, I had a binge last night on chocolate, well I had 2 chocolate bars with tea. It was lush! Today I have been doing good. This morning I had egg and soldiers, then lunch an omelette and a can of tuna with an orange. Went to visit Mum in the hospice, had 2 shortbread biccies plus a marshmallow and a Roses sweet. Think that was all under 15 syns. Went to Tescos then to buy some supllies and came back home and had St.David's Chicken (chicken, leeks, onion, mushroom, chicken stock, garlic and potatoes).

I wish I could keep this up everyday! Currently I'm dying for a bar of chocolate but I've got to fast for a blood test tomorrow morning at 10.30am. So won't be having my breakfast until AFTER that! :-/ Might just have a massive sandwich instead. Got meetings ALL day tomorrow from 3pm to 9pm. Hoping to get home and make cheesy brocolli bake that I got in the SW magazine. It looks gorgeous!!!

Oh and forgot to mention, I got Slimmer Of The Week! :)

Day 220

Well I weighed in last Tuesday and lost 2lbs which meant I had an exact 3 stone loss and it meant I got my first sticker since May! Glad to be back on the SW wagon!

Haven't been too good with eating this week though! :( Trying to do Success Express for the next few days to get 2lbs off. I want to get my next stone off in 2 months which means I need to lose at least 1.5lbs a week. Preferably 2lbs a week.

When I started SW and lost a lot of weight in the first few weeks I was doing good, my predicted progress was that I would reach my interim target of 12stone (just under 5 stone loss) in July. Then my weight loss slowed down so it said the 9th September. I'm still 25lbs off that interim target so now I want to achieve the loss by the 12th November.

Reasons being is that I've got a dinner dance on the 12th November and I will be on stage giving a speech so I want to look good for it. It will also mean I will weigh the same as a lot "thin" people. After that I want get down to 10stone 11.5lbs which mean I will have achieved a 6 stone loss. I am hoping to do this on time for the first year anniversary of me joining Slimming World but I know with Christmas and all that, it will be very difficult.

I think I need to focus on just small goals first and stop thinking long term. I'm still a size 16 on top, size 16-18 on bottom but size 16 doesn't quite fit me comfortably yet.

Day 215

Well I haven't posted here in a while. I've been away in South Africa for most of July and then went to the UK for 2 weeks at the start of August. After I got back from South Africa for 3 weeks, I only put on 0.5lbs! Was delighted with that cos I thought it would have been way more! When I went to the UK for a festival, I put on another 0.5lbs and then the week after I maintained. So this means I'm now at the same weight I was back in May and I've still not achieved my 3stone award!

It's getting very frustrating but I know it's cos I haven't been able to make my own dinners and control the food I eat. This week hasn't gone too bad, I've stuck to SW mostly this week. Didn't have many syns on Thursday, only 6, on Friday I had about 18, then yesterday I had too many due to alcohol. I didn't eat all day yesterday apart from my breakfast of eggs and toast.

Today I've had toast and some chocolate to cheer me up. I really want a Dominos pizza but I'm trying to resist cos I've got loads of food in the fridge and a stir fry is calling out my name but I want greasy disgusting food. Have to try and resist temptation.

Hopefully I will get a loss this Tues. I don't care if it's 0.5lb, I just want a loss. I haven't had one since June :(
