Hi,

So I’m Green, and the forum said I should try and start an online diary, so I thought I would give it a go and I need as much support as I can get, I’m hoping to record my food intake/ exercise/ recipes/challenges I'm doing and just general everyday stuff. I currently weigh 264 pounds and a size 26 and am hoping to get down to a UK size 10/12 so I’m in it for the long haul, the very long haul.

I’m currently doing the UK Weight Watchers program and have lost 6 pounds already which I'm very happy with, yes it’s taken me 5 weeks but I know that I will be keeping the weight of forever. I’m also hoping to start adding major exercising as I’d like to be able to compete in cycling and walking.

Now onto my goals, as this is going to be awfully long, this is where all my goals are going to go and as soon as I hit a goal ill change the colour and put a date next to it :)

Other Achievements Achieved?


I also thought I would keep a weight tracker in my first post, with all my weekly weigh ins, so that I can look back and see how much I've achieved :) (Losses green, gains purple)

Start Weight - 270
Week 1 – 269 (-3)
Week 2 – 263.5 (-3.5)
Week 3 – 262.5 (-1)
Week 4 – 264.5 (+2) Started New Job
Week 5 – 264 (-0.5)
Week 6 - 264 ( :'( Stayed the same :'()
Week 7 - 263 (-1)

Now onto my measurements, I’ll be doing these every time I’ve gone below a stone mark, apart from the first one which I will be doing tonight.

Date - 3/03/2011
Weight - 260.0
Neck – 16in
Biceps R – 18in L – 18in
Forearms R – 12in L – 12in
Bust (With Bra) 51in
Below Bust – 43.5in
Waist Smallest 43.3/4in
Waist at Belly Button – 52.5in
Hips – 55.5in
Thighs R – 27.5in L – 28.5in ???
Legs R – 18.5in L – 18.5in

So onto the little questionnaire thing, I did all of it but it ended up being over 3 pages long, so I thought id add the small bit and then add a question or two as I go along :)

1.How much weight do you want to lose?
I’d like to lose enough weight for me to be healthy and happy, whether this is to fit into my BMI brackets, or to be a size 10/12 I don’t know, at the moment I really just want to lose weight and get healthy and be able to run around and have fun.
2.What is the timeframe for reaching your target weight?
However long it takes I’m here for the long run, this is more about me learning healthy habits which I can use for a lifetime and know that I will never ever weigh what I do today again.
3.How do you want to accomplish your goal (what methods do you want to use)?
I’m currently doing the Weight Watchers UK diet, which is working really well for me. I hope to continue to use this method while adding in general healthy guidelines and lots of exercise!
4.Who or what can support you in reaching your goal?
I am hoping to be able to support myself for the first time, I’ve always been able to sabotage myself and I hope to stop this, I've also got the support of my wonderful boyfriend, and hopefully all of you :)
5.How realistic is your goal?
I hope that my goal is realistic as I’m not wanting a quick fix, though I do have allot to lose and I hope that I can get down to the dress size I want to.
6.When will you start?
I started 5 weeks ago and have currently lose 6 pounds :)

I guess all I've got to say now is, I hope you enjoy reading and that you can follow me on this journey, and I cannot wait to see how everyone else is doing and following you all to achieve your goals.

Love Green x

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOO!!! *throws confetti* Congrats on the -6lbs!! That's fantastic!!

(i am the pot calling the kettle black here) ... but you have to celebrate every pound lost! It doesn't matter how long it takes you, if you're losin' it, you're gold!!!

I love your attitude! There's so much here that I can relate too! I too always sabotage myself...you don't realize when you're doing it, but I think I'm my own worst enemy! It's my head, and my attitude that run me!

You've come to the right place for motivation, encouragement, calories free virtual beer, and lots of hugs!!! :) This community can help you so much! I like to make it a daily log in (at least!) ... that way it becomes routine, and if I'm having a rough day, where I want to give up, or am slacking- I come on here, and get the push I need to continue on! You would be surprised at how many times I plan on skipping the gym, then I read how fantastic people are doing on here (and all their hard work), and it spurs me into going! :)

Also, I LOVE that you're taking your measurements too! I've noticed that the inches have been dropping faster than the pounds!! And it's so rewarding to see both go down! I think you've made an excellent choice to record your inches lost too!!

And you're right- this isn't just a "fix" or something you'll be doing until you get to your goal weight- this is a life long choice!!! I have to keep telling myself that I have my whole life to get to my goal weight, and if I keep eating health and exercising every day, that I'm on the right track!! And once I reach my goal weight- that's no reason to stop!!

You have a fantastic attitude!! And I hope you post more of your questions- they're great to read as I can relate to so much of them!!

*hugs*

Great job so far!!!
 
So I’m sat here eating my weetabix for breakfast wondering why I haven’t written anything up on my diary yet and I guess it’s because even though I’m 10000000% wanting to lose weight and here for the long run, I’m still sabotaging myself and I don’t know why!! It really really upsets me and I know it’s one of those things which I need to learn to counteract but it’s just upsetting.

So let’s move forward onto the positives I think I’m going to start weighing myself every day from next Monday which is my weigh in day with Weight Watchers, just because I know my scales are different to theirs and I don’t want to get elated/upset because the figure is wrong. I’m hoping to do this on a excel document with a rolling 7 days so I’ve got an average to look at J

Sooo yesterdays food,

Breakfast – 3 egg whites/1 yolk, 100ml Skimmed milk, 56g Tuna, Muller Light cranberry and raspberry yogurt.
Lunch – Subway Sub of the day (Turkey Brest and Ham, cheese and toasted on Wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, peppers and red onion) 450g Strawberries
Dinner – Slow Cooked Meal of veggie mince, mixed veg (carrots, sweetcorn, peas and cauliflower) 9 pieces of white chocolate (the self sabotaging)
Any Time – Cadburys caramel nibbles, 1 Percy Pig biscuit, Weight Watchers salted Hoops Crisps
Water – 3 Liters
Exercise – Cycling home (a lot of stupid hills and high hills grrrr) 11 miles, around 1 hour 20.

Hey there!

Don't give up! Keep at it! Losing weight is hard work, but it's worth it! Every time you make a healthy choice or exercise, you're working towards your goal! And with each pound, you're going to feel more and more fantastic! Not just that you're losing weight, but that you're sticking to something that you want, and working hard towards it!!

Keep it up! Keep writing here! Keep recording what you eat and exercise- and in no time, what use to be work will be routine, and the weight will be sliding off of ya!

You're doing great!! We're our own worst enemies sometimes :) But you can do it! And we're here to help you :)
 
Thanks TIK and Jennifer72

Tik - I’m slowing reading through your diary it’s very very motivational and your post recent pick is fantastic!!! <3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So today was my first morning weigh in and I weighed in at 261.8, which I guess is a good weight to start with and I’ve read that my weight can change by up to 4 pounds daily, hoping that it won’t do though and I can see a steady decrease. Just hoping this will keep me on the straight and narrow.

I have my main weigh in at Weight Watchers this afternoon so will post again afterwards. I’m hoping I’ve lost weight as I’ve cycled home 3 times which almost killed me damn hills, on my last cycle home on Thursday I was going up the first steep hill (in 1.1 and really pushing myself) and another cyclist zoomed past and said "thanks for move over" really sarcastically. I broke down and cried the whole way home (which was around a hour and 20 minutes) I know I’m not as fast as the "roadies" but for God’s sake I’m trying!!!!! I also managed to do a walk on Saturday which was 8 miles long, made me very happy and my feet very sore lol.

I also signed myself up for two different challenges this year as I know losing weight is the main thing for me but nipping at it heels is that I want to be the type of girl who does contests and I’d love to run and I’d love to win medals, I’ve been fat for a quarter of a century now it’s time to be a fitness freak for the rest and it’s not like I hate exercising I love love love it. It just the getting out there to do it. And now I’m rambling.

Onto my challenges I’ve signed up for the Parish walk and the End2End and cannot wait, the Parish walk is as stated walking and on the 25th June 2011 (the day after my birthday so if I manage to keep to my targets I think this will be a brill birthday present for myself :)) and the End2End is mountain cycling which I love and I’ve got the most gorg mountain bike which I don’t use enough and it’s in September so a good training while away. So as I progress I will write up more about them.

I’ve also persuaded my boyfriend to take me to London for our 5th Anniversary in October and I’m using this as a big challenge as he’s going to take me to Soho so I can go into Agent Provocateur and buy some really nice underwear as a treat YAY!! So got to be nice and cute to look fit semi naked lol.

Oh and I’m hoping to join the Gym at the end of March when I get paid so I can start weight training which is another thing I enjoy I’ve missed the Gym very much!!

Yeah so now I’m rambling, going to check out more of the site and will post on how I’ve done at Weight Watchers, and on a totally amazing last note I did a quick measurement yesterday from my measurements when I’ve first started and it says I lost 3 inches from my tummy!!! Seriously how ace, I cannot see it and it deffo isn’t showing in my weight loss so I hope it’s real and I didn’t miss measure lol, will find out tonight when I take them all and photos Arggggggg

Hugs Green x x
 
I like the way you're keeping track of it all. I actually have yet to do my measurements, will have to do that today!
WTG on the bike riding, never mind what the roadies say...I never even learned to ride a bike!!
I've never tried WW, glad it's working for you!!
 
Hey Amanda2010 - thanks for the comment :), i do forget most of the "roadies" but that couple really upset me. I dont know about the new weight watchers as since ive changed over to the new mode i either stay the same or only lost 1, which is good but i hoped for a bit more at the beginning. I think im going to give myself a week on just counting calories and fats ect and see how i go :).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soooo weigh in today and yeah only lost 1 pound, and i feel quite upset about it and i dont know why sigh. Tomorrow im going to switch to counting calories and see how i go.

Hugs Green x
 
ONE POUND!!! That's fabulous!!! Any ANY pound loss is a cause for celebration!!

Don't forget too that time of day plays a HUGE part in your weight! I can go up and down at least 5lbs in a day!! It depends on the water, salt, food, and exercise I've done!! I didn't know this until recently, but if you weigh yourself after exercising, you're going to weigh more because of your muscle recovery!!

You might want to try weighing yourself every morning! That's what I do! Just don't give up! The scale number is just a number- it doesn't really hold much value!! Have you taken your inches yet!? I bet you'll notice a drop in them!! Also, don't forget that you'll be putting on muscle weight too!! And that's good, the more muscle you gain- the more you burn!! :)

I LOVE your enthusiasm for exercising!! It's so much easier if it's something you love!! I love the sound of the contests that you're signing up for! it's a great idea! I'm going to sign up for a run at the end of may! I can't wait- it'll be my VERY first!! And the biking one sounds really cool!! I would love to do one of those!!

Oooh, and gym = awesome! I loooooove the gym now! And I loooove weight trianing! I love seeing how strong I can be! I don't have good cardio, so the fact that I can lift some heavy stuff, makes me proud :)

Ok...now...onto the bike jerk...he's a douche...that's the only way to put it! But forget about him! Good on you for getting out there and riding the bike! I've owned a bike for the last two summers, and I haven't rode it anywhere because I'm too scared people will laugh at me! You should be SOOO proud that you did that, because hunny, you're awesome, and ANYONE can bike! No one should EVER treat you like that! And next time someone does that, flip them the bird compliments of me!!!!

Because you're so awesome and confident on your bike, I'm going to have to get my bike out asap! As soon as spring is here, I'm going to ride my bike to school :) You've motivated me, and showed me how silly I was to let my own self discourage me!!

ooo, and one last thing- My birthday is June 21!!! We're so close :)

Take care girl! And don't let others get you down! You're doing a fantastic job!! You're doing AMAZING exercising/physical activity, and you should be proud of that! And in no time, you'll be seeing results! You don't bike for over an hour and not burn calories!! :)

Some day soon you'll step on that scale and you won't believe your eyes!! :)
 
Thanks Tik!!!!!! I read your comment this morning and THANK YOU!!! So much it really made me kick myself into gear and really sit down and give myself a good talking to lol.

I love having June as my Birthday Month it’s always a nice sunny month (though I’m not to keen on the sun which i mostly think is because of my weight and small clothing!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So i thought the easiest thing would be to write something down during lunch as tonight me and my bf are having our Valentine’s day (YAY) were going to our favourite restaurant and then going to watch Paul in the Cinema which I’m very excited about as it looks like a blast!.

Ok onto my diet, after giving myself a stern talking to I’m going to stay with Weight Watchers for another 2 weeks and if while following the plan properly I haven’t lost anything i will be switching over to calorie counting and if the plan starts to work properly and I lose on average 2 pounds a week which is what I want then I will stay with it :).

My weight this morning was 264.6 which is a + of 2.6 pounds though that was completely my fault i really did have a small hissy fit which I shouldn’t of, I was so proud and upset that i only lost 1 pound. Proud because I have this time decided to lose weight and I am doing it not just thinking about it and hoping someone can just wave a wand and everything is perfect and I was upset because it was only a pound, I have so much weight to lose that I was hoping I would be able to lose more than 7 pounds in 7 weeks at the beginning I was hoping to be a stone down at least by now. Though just means i need to get stricter lol.

Now onto my daily stats

Breakfast - A couple of bites of porridge (yucky i think it had gone off :|) and a mouthful of a Muller Light New York cheesecake yogurt :ack2: even worse than the porridge. 1 banana :drool5:
Lunch - Subway Italian BMT cheese and toasted with lots of lettuce, onion and pepper and 3 slices of tomato YUM YUM!!
Dinner - Fish, Chips and peas at the Chart Room extra yum yum!!
Water - will be around 2.5/3 litres when I’ve finished the day off :)
Exercise - none sadly

I’ve also joined the March and the 3 month Challenges so cannot wait to see how I do, I’ve also given myself the challenge of losing 8-10 pounds for the week of March, I know the 10 is unrealistic but I can always dream, and if I manage to lose the weight I will treat myself to something, don’t know yet but it will mean that I will weigh 18.3 - 18.1 which would be lovely :)

Hope everyone is doing good with their diets

I wish we had runs here..I live in an area that has nothing..absolutely nothing.
Might have to just make up my own!
Good for you on your challenges!
 
Hey Amanda2010, thanks for your comment, yeah I guess I’m really lucky where I am though for such a small place we do have allot of exercise activities which can be done, and I cannot wait for the Parish Walk or the End to End cycle, and if I feel extra fit I could even do the End to End walk which depending on my fitness I might even do :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soooo my Movie was brill and we both loved it, abit pissy it had a romance bit latched on grrr and it isn’t as good as Hot Fuzz but it was a good watch.

Yesterday was a really good day for me, my mood stayed good all day and I felt really happy inside. I'm extra happy about my cycle home; I have 2 major hills which I need to get up quite early on, with the first being where I meet the “roadie” last time. Now last week I was doing the hill in 1.1 and really puffing and yesterday I did it in 1.2 and it wasn’t half as bad as last week which made me very very happy!!!!!!! Cannot wait till I lose more weight as I’ll be going up the hill very fast lol.

Yesterdays stats looked like this

Weight - 262.0

Breakfast - Muller light Raspberry and Cranberry yogurt with around 200g raspberries. 200ml Tropicana pineapple juice with 1/4 teaspoon Matcha Tea (YUM) and 1 multivitamin lol
Lunch - Subway Low fat sub turkey breast and ham, cheese and toasted with lettuce, onion, tomatoes and peppers, packet of quavers ordinary
Dinner – Birds eye Salmon in a lemon and herb sauce, Tesco Limited Edition potato Pouch x 1 pouch.
Pudding – Sugar free jelly ¼ packet with 160g pear and 36g squirty cream, light
Any Time – Cadburys Caramel Bar
Exercise – Cycle Home 11 miles around 1 hour 20

Hope everyone is having a good day

Green x
 
congrats on the loss from the previous day! You're doing great!

You are so positive and motivated! Which shows that you really want to work towards your goal and accomplish it :)

Take care!! And congrats again for all your hard work! I still can't get over how much you cycle!! That is awesome!
 
Heyyy thanks for the comment Tik! I’m amazed at how happy I am at the moment, I'm certain it’s because something has clicked and I have targets to reach which aren’t just losing weight, which makes me very happy. Oh I love love love to cycle I’m amazed that for such a big person I have such a love for exercising now and I so hope I keep up with my motivation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

So yesterday when well depending on how you look at it, I’ve decided I cannot buy multipacks of anything lol, as well yeah I demolish the whole lot, it might be saving money in the short term but its putting my weight at risk and I wont do that!!! Now your probably wondering what I mean, I bought a 4 pack of Cadburys caramel bars with the intention to just have one bar and I ended up having all 4 and other crap too sadly. And the reason my hairdresser has just quit from where I normally get my hair bleached and she messed me around with my last appointment so I’m sitting here without my roots being done. Which would be alright if it didn’t take me phoning and going around to almost all of the hairdressers on the island for one which would even touch my hair, let alone bleach it and I’m upset because out of the whole of me my hair is what I love the best *sigh* Sorry I shouldn’t be moaning onto what I’m here for!

I got my boyfriend to measure me last night so that I could start seeing how my measurements alter after time, I just don’t know whether to measure every stone or every month. I didn’t take any photos as seriously I have so many of them lol and cannot wait till I get some new skinny photos!!!!

So onto yesterday’s stats

Weight - 260.0!!

Breakfast - Muller light toffee yogurt, 200ml Tropicana pineapple juice with 1/4 teaspoon Matcha Tea (YUM) and 1 multivitamin lol, 3 egg whites, 50ml skimmed milk, 2 Mattesson’s turkey rashers
Lunch - Subway Italian BMT, cheese and toasted with lettuce, onion, tomatoes and peppers.
Dinner – Birds eye Salmon in a lemon and herb sauce, Tesco spicy potato wedges ½ packet. 1 walls twister ice cream (YUM),
Any Time – Now onto the um snacking!!!! 4 Cadburys caramels yes I did say 4, I am glad about one thing after eating all 4 in succession I felt so ill and I knew I wouldn’t do it again for along time and it reaffirmed my case to give up chocolate for lent!!! 2 Mcvities caramel biscuits (I've got a thing for caramel lol) 1 rieson chew! And 1 packet of jimmy con carnie crisps!

My measurements – I’ve put them into my first post too!!

I don’t think they look that bad, I cannot say I’m upset by them because well I am but I’m moving towards getting them all smaller though with the cycling I do I think my thighs will stay quite chunky so no skinny jeans for me lol

OK onto today yay, and I feel so happy and so certain I am working towards something bigger than just losing weight and its giving me such a sense of achievement that I am finally doing this and getting out instead of hiding!! YAY!

I also cycled home today which I love even though I have two grrrrrrrrrrrrr hills on the way home, obviously I have more than 2 but the main two are serious hills and I cannot wait till I can just zoom up them. I was though having a problems with my gears and them not sitting right so it took ages to get into the right gear which made me pissed off for most of the trip home which was yeah interesting, and yeah after the first 2 hills I just went into my biggest gear and went like a bat out of hell, properly went for it and I LOVED every moment. Just need to find some cash to have my bike serviced lol.

Oh and before I found out about my gears I decided because I’ve been sticking to my diet and working towards my goal and I’ve been doing so well id treat myself to something and it wasn’t food like normal YAY! I bought myself some new cycling gloves as I didn’t have any winter ones and my hands were Freeeeeezing on Wednesday lol

So onto my Stats today, and yeah COFFFEEEEEEeeeee day YAY!

Hope everyone is doing well with there weight loss! And talk to you tomorrow!!

Hugs Green x
 
Look at you zooming down that scale! Congrats!! You are so motivated - that is terrific that you love exercise. I do to - just have to remind myself sometimes.

As with Tik, you may just motivate me enough to pull my bike down from the rack and get outside. I struggle with breathing right - I tend to breathe in and out of my mouth and dry out my gums - which really makes my gums/teeth sore (hard to explain). Would love some helpful hints if you have any.

I find checking measurements really helps me. I plan to 'officially' update my measurements every 20 lbs. With that said, my scale seems very attached to the range of #'s it is currently in (I have finally not let it get to me....too much)....I can feel my body changing and if I feel like my waist is smaller, I'll whip out that tape measure and check....usually I am right and elated the rest of the day.
 
Green, I've been catching up on your diary today and wanted to say REALLY WELL DONE. You are starting off with exactly the right positive attitude, thinking it all through and, apart from the occasional wobble, staying focused!

Don't beat yourself up about chomping 4 choc bars in a row - we've all been there. I mean it, so I'm going to repeat it - WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE. With exactly the same feelings of sabotage and letting ourselves down. The important bit for me is what you chose to do afterwards. Old me would have gone "oh well I've messed up today...so I'll have a takeway for dinner" and then the next day "well I really messed up yesterday so I might as well chose chips for tea" and so on...New me goes "hmm, that was not a good idea but hey I didn't get fat on 1000 cals of chocolate alone so move on, have a bowl of soup for dinner and make tomorrow a better day".

As for running and cycling, I think you have made a great start on cycling home. Don't get worried about the "pro-cyclists" - I live in an area where people are cycling-mad and I felt very foolish when I first started and bought road racing bike, with padded shorts etc... and was huffing and puffing up the hills whilst they raced by! A mountain bike will always be SO much tougher to cycle on the road - they really are hard work and if you are doing road cycling, you might want to put some different tyres on it - like a hybrid tyre rather than a offroad tyre.

I couldn't recommend running more but when I started at 240lbs it was completely impractical and out of reach - I couldn't really run until I was say 210lbs or so, but since then I couldn't imagine not running. I did the Couch to 5k program and would thoroughly recommend it. I got up to running 5k 3 times a week and a longer 8km run at the weekends and the weight was falling off.. Now its getting lighter and spring is here, that's what I'm aiming to get back to.

Anyhow, best of luck, keep us updated and I would recommend reading around other peoples diaries here - they are both motivational and also helpful when you realise that you are not alone, we've all been through it!
 
Choc. bars.....been there. We actually had a basket full of them in the bedroom that we'd let the kids have one, once or twice a week for a treat..I've been in that basket more than once, def. eating atleast 2 in a row.

You're definately not alone! But like JJJay said, we didn't get fat on 1000 cal. alone (love that by the way!)
 
wahooo!! grats on the loss!! That's fantastic! you are working so hard (I mean all the cycling you're doing is fantastic! I don't think i could do half of what oyu're doing)!!!

You're doing so great!!

I love that you bought yourself some cycling gloves!! i'm soo use to treating myself with food - i need to find another treat!! hehehe and i love that you bought yourself something that will make your exercise a bit more enjoyable!! :)

I hope you have a fantastic weekend girl! And it's almost warm enough for me to get my bike out :)
 
Hi jjjay – Thanks for the comment, I think I’m one of the “lucky” ones as I was into cycling before I started to diet and I have a good couple of bikes plus the extras, my road bike is currently a Hybrid which I love to bits ? though I would die for a “proper” road bike but my lovely (hmmmm) fat gets in the way of me moving down the handle bars and I keep hitting it with my legs. I’m not going to start running till I at least hit the high 190’s! Do you do much cycling? Have you done any racing? I’m hoping once I’ve lost the weight to start competing in cycling, it’s a secret dream of mine for a good 10 years lol

Hi Amanda! Thanks for the comment; my parents have a basket next to their door with loads of choc’s and sweets ect, My weekend was meh! Though it’s a point where I look back and see what went wrong and change those points! How was your weekend????

Hey Tik, GET OUT AND CYCLE lol!!! Its soooooo much fun! I just love the fun of going down a hill super fast, and its perfect to get some fresh air! Though I agree with the warmer weather, hence why I had to get some new gloves it is defiantly quite nippy out at the 6/6.30 that I start cycling home and defiantly around 7ish lol. I’ve always treated myself with food, I’m even doing it now, yesterday I lost weight so treated myself to a Chinese and I just didn’t think it though I guess, and its something that I have to work towards stopping, I don’t mind the odd treat but I want to stop it being a regular occurrence. Ill be going over to see, but how was your weekend!?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So well yeah my weekend was crap, I spent most of Saturday walking around town with my mum waiting for her dogs to be cut, this took 4 hours!!!!! And I ended up moving to around 6 different café’s and I had god knows how much cake! I really should have had breakfast before I went to meet her! And on the food front Sunday was just as stupidly bad, even yesterday wasn’t the best I seriously felt like hitting my head against a wall. EVERYONE in my household is against me losing weight, which if they were skinny id understand maybe slightly but everyone in my family is overweight apart from my baby L *sigh” and don’t even get me started on him, how is it guy can eat anything and not put on any weight! Plus the fact that with me being on a diet it seems to be making him insecure about his weight and I’m certain that he doesn’t eat anything during the day anymore like he did when I first meet him grrrrrrr. * has a mild 10 minute scream!!!*

So seems my days were seriously bad I won’t be writing down what I eat as there is really no point! Though on a plus I know what I don’t like anymore, like seriously chocolate cake is the sporn of the devil and is very disgusting!!! I hate anything sickly it just makes my stomach curdle and I’m going through a very savory and fishy time lol, if I don’t get my salmon fix a day I’m really grouchy!!

Now onto the exercise I managed to go for 1 walk on Saturday and one on Sunday which I was very happy about averaging around 8 miles each. I’m in love with my Nike+ GPS tracker and I’m hoping to average 18 miles this weekend YAY! Cannot wait till the lighter nights happen as I might start walking the 11 miles home once a week and then creep it up to a couple nights a week till June so I am seriously prepared for the Parish Walk!

Oh and tomorrow I’ve got the day off and my bike is going to get fixed YAY! Which makes me even happier.

Now onto my weight yeah hmmmm, well my daily scales has been creeping up since Friday and has now settled on 261.4, so hopefully next weekend I wont have this creep up and can plain sail through. Weight Watchers scales have said I’ve lost 2 YAY, and I’m very happy with that I know its only 1.44% of my overall weight but that’s 2 pounds gone forever and I’ve managed to up my weight loss from 1 to 2 pounds per week, which I know if I sort out my planning and my bloody weekends Ill be able lose continuously.

On another plus only another Stone till I’m down to Class 2 Obese, seriously cannot wait!!

Ah well back to work now, I hope everyone’s weekend was better than mine and that your all being successful in your weight loss journeys.

Hugs Green x
