My journey to good health....and a hot bod ;)

Day 59

WOOOHOOOOOO! What an amazing start to the day! Sooo I went on the scales last night and they read 11st 11lb.odd and I though noooo!

Then I go on today and they've dropped to 11st 8lb.4 :party: :party: :party:

So all that damage at the weekend is pretty much off!

I just couldn't resist putting "Top of the world" by the Carpenters on. I'm feeling so happy now, because now I can focus on getting into the 150s instead of worrying about getting that weight off. YAY! :hurray:
 
Great scale readings!!! CONGRATS!!!! *happy dance*

You're doing great Stacey!! Keep it up girlie!

We all slip up every now and again- but the fact that you keep going back to the exercising and healthy eating proves you're a strong gal that can do this!!!
WAHOO!!!
 
Thanks ladies! The reason I was so happy was that I felt like shit when I seen 11st 11lb on the scale and felt like ordering a dominos and pigging out - to comfort eat. But instead I said to myself "no Stacey, you're going to go to bed instead" (despite it being only 9pm). So I did. And that little bid of resistance paid off :hurray:

Today has been a good day. Obviously i've had a great start, and throughout today i've had........

A packet of snack a jacks, weight watchers biscuits and a yogurt.
A bottle of orange juice.
2 scrambled eggs with beans and a yogurt.

I believe I will be doing exercise tonight.

Let's hope I can actually get beneath 11st 8lb this week!

EDIT: Exercise done. Wooo!

i know how u feel wanting to order takeaways at night, it seems to be when hunger strikes the werst but what i`ve found is a nice piece of fruit can fill you up just as much as anythin else.
 
I knowwww.......but it's getting the self control to say no to take aways and picking up the fruit thats the hard part!
 
I'm very drunk right now! Theres no one here besiddddde me. Feel free to join in if you know the words!

Well well well. I have had a pizza and chips. Oops broke my challenge but its ok because I said so! I had 1 slice of the pizza because it was minging! But ate all of my chips.

Now i'm absolutely hammered and thinking oooo should I order a dominos? (a nice pizza place). I've been debating this for a whole hourrrr!

I fully apologise if my post makesno sense but I have had a LOT of alcohol!!!!

What should I doooo? Pizza or not? Pizza or not? Haa this is like that thing where people pick apart a flower and say 'he loves me, he doesn't, he loves me, he doesn't'. Ahhhh should I buy a pizzzzza. My cravings say yes. But my stomach is saying 'oooo I don't know if I could fit anything more in me'. Ahhhh decisions decisions!!!!!!
 
The good news is I didn't end up buying a pizza. I went to bed instead. The equally good news is that after my chips and slice of pizza and a lot of alcohol i've only put on .2 of a lb so i'm chuffed with that. Still at 162!

The bad news is, I did break my challenge. But i'm not too fussed because I think I was doing well as it was.
 
Day 61

Today has been a successful day I reckon........

Bowl of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk.
2 packets of snack a jacks.
2 packets of weight watchers biscuits.
A yogurt.
2 scrambled eggs with baked beans.

Good day :)

Going to do my exercise later too. Whether or not those scales go down tomorrow morning is another thing entirely. I WILL get past 11st 8lb :banghead:

EDIT: Exercise done! :)

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

And i'm still stuck at bloody 11st 8lb. What the fuck do I have to do to get below it?!?!?!! Seriously, what is the point in eating healthy if the scales aren't going down anyway. Really really starting to piss me off now. Because I won't have any scales when I move back home (carpet floors) so I won't have any idea what I weigh then, so trying to lose as much as I can before I move back for 4 months but the bloody scale won't move despite exercise AND healthy eating (most of the time).

I know people say you should change your routine or something. But i'm at uni and restricted spacewise in my room so I can't really just pick up a different dvd to do. And I can't stand the gym, yes I have a membership but I don't like going out on my own in the dark and its far too busy in the middle of the day.

ARRRRRRRRRRRGH i'm going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Sorry folks. I just had to get that out!!
 
Hmmm so today I measured my waist and according to clothing websites I should be a size 18. Which sounds crazy to me because the majority of my clothes - the ones that fit are a size 12 and 14. The majority being a 12. Quite often if I get any bigger than that, then the clothes are too big. WTF?! Way to make someone feel like crap!
 
Well exercise has been done. And instead of feeling good or pleased with myself for getting it done, i'm starting to get the attitude where I think 'well it's not making any difference to my body or the scales so what's the point'.

I wish I could get rid of this negativity but I genuinely feel like i'm fighting a lost cause. I'm starting to get this fear that the scales will never get past 11st 8lb. Yes I have slipped up in places, but even when i've ate healthy and exercised, they will not budge. It's really starting to get to me now.

It's been almost 10 weeks since I started this healthy eating malarky and all i've lost is 15lb. Which yes sounds like a lot. But if I hadn't of slipped up every so often adding on weight then taking it away, i'd be looking at 22lb lost by now. So i'm very frustrated with myself and my body. FFS SCALES GO DOWN!!!!!!!!! Right now i'm finding this really tough, it's hard to keep going when theres no motivation. Seeing no progress despite trying makes you feel like giving up. ARGH!

If anyone has read this, I apologise for the rant but I just had to get it out there.
 
But if you hadn't started at all you would be 15 pounds heavier :) So good job anyways! You can't change the past but you can still going! You already made some headway :)
 
It's true. Thanks ladies!

Wellllll I let myself down badly this weekend. I was back at home (it goes straight out the window when I get home! :banghead:).

This weekend i've had.......

2 pizzas
Chicken strips
A burger and chips
Cheese on toast
A chinese
Tonnes of biscuits

AND........put on 4lb. Woops! The good news is, I won't be home for another month or so now. So hopefully I can get back on track and get back to that 8lb and under! Fingers crossed :)
 
Going back home always ruins my diet--All that lovely home-cooked food! Don't stress it, you'll have it back off in no time!!
 
I know its such a pain! My problem is that the take aways round there are gorgeous. Pizzas, kebabs, chinese, gorgeous! All the things I hate in Manchester. Grrr!

Wellll yesterday I had.....
A bowl of dry cornflakes
2 chicken sandwiches (4 slices of bread) (weight watchers bread)
A yogurt
3 packets of weight watchers biscuits
2 large snack a jacks
3 bottles of energy drinks (I usually try to avoid these, but I was staying up late last night to crack on with an essay so they were essential. I was wiped).

Well, as you know I put on shitloads of weight over the weekend. On friday morning I weighed 11st 8.6lb. Came back home on monday, weighed myself yesterday morning (tuesday) after all that pigging out and the scales said 11st 12.4lb. What?!?!?! Panic mood. So I thought yeah ok, I totally deserve it for pigging out so bad. Then today I stepped on the scales and they say 11st 9.2lb. So basically i'm almost back to that 8lb where I was before I went away.

I think this is the problem. I'm putting weight on at home, then knowing it'll come off quickly i'm pigging out more and then coming back and it's coming off straight away - not exactly a motivator to stay on track in the first place!

Right now my goal is to get back to that 8lb....shouldn't take too long, hopefully that last lb will go off in the next couple of days. And then I can get focusing on getting past that bloody 8lb. It will be the death of me i'm sure.

Anyway, really I just came on here to say happy scale day! :hurray:
