One step at a time...

I was so good yesterday. Underate a bit but there we go, ran around at work all day like a mad thing and had a healthy dinner. I was excited to weigh myself this morning as I was pretty sure I'd lost a pound or so. Low and behold....2lbs down! Whooooooooop. Thus far my lowest has been 17st9, I'm now 17st7...in 8lbs time my numbers will read 16......OMG. I seriously can't remember the last time I was 16st something. Maybe when I was in year 10 or 11 at school. Crazy. I'd like the half stone off by my birthday (13th jan) but I'm not sure if that's realistic with xmas inbetween, we shall see! X
 
Well my diary seems to have gone a little quiet, where has everyone gone? lol. I'll keep posting anyway, I'm sure you'll all catch up.

My weight is a funny thing. I've gone down to 17st 6lbs now, another pound dropped. Byt why? I've eaten bad food, granted not a lot of it, been at work (A LOT) but still...I don't really deserve this loss. However, I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. May the loss continue! Perhaps my body is spending all it's calories on keeping me warm. That'll do lol x
 
Sorry hun--It's been quiet round here this weekend, hasn't it!! Bloody Christmas!

I feel you on the cold--How bad is it where you are?? We have quite a lot of snow in Portsmouth!!
 
Oh hey Sunflower, it is ruddy freezing here. Minus 8 this morning. Absurd. It has snowed alllllll day long today and we have about 3 inches....my town has come to a standstill lol. I was intending on going to the gym tonight aswell! Bit annoyed that I can't go, but I daren't drive in this weather. Ohwell, I'll just sit on my couch and watch rubbish telly all night. It's a hardship I shall just have to endure!
 
When i left this morning for work it was -8.7 .... in London! When I got to Oxford Street it was freezing, but the Narnia themed Christmas lights were very cute. I then went out to a Christmas party this evening, and when I left an hour and a half later, there were 3 inches more snow! My mum was in Singapore, but because heathrow is closed she got flown into Frankfurt, stayed there a few days and now is on a bus (!) all the way back to London! Hopefully she'll make it back in time for Christmas. Oh, and these kids down my street built an igloo! I have no idea how they did it because it really is huge but it is amazing :) Hopefully my body is burning so many calories trying to keep me warm throughout this!
 
Awwwww Lochmond, I hope your mum makes it back in time! She must be hating the snow right now! I am half liking it cos it's beautiful and I like wrapping up warm in a nice coat and hat/glove set. For that reason....I like the snow a lot. For the reason of having to scrape my car every morning, drive at 10mph everywhere, the traffic, the freezing cold nights and the list goes on! lol.

Half a pound back on this morning, knew that missing the gym last night would affect me lol. Nevermind, having a good day today to compensate. In work at 5pm, I keep looking at the clock and thinking ohhhhhhhhhhhhh 5 hours left, 4 1/2 hours left etc. Boo, still I see work now as A) Money and B) Exercise. I think my colleagues think I'm weird cos I literally never stop. I don't do well being bored anyway, but I simply think to myself...here's a perfect excuse to get hours of gentle (sometimes not so gentle) exercise while earning money. Ideal!
 
17st5 this morning yeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

1 more pound and I have lost 2 stone since the start of my journey. It's so exciting for me to see how far I come and also to imagine what will I be like in another stones time, or a stone after that. I feel quite emotional about it all lol. I'm such a pansy. Most girls would be crying in horror to weigh what I weigh, but in relation to where I've come from, it's amazing. I count my blessings that I carry my weight well, being 5ft10 I don't come off as fat thank god, I just look big. I'm so happy that my motivation has come at a time where temptation is everywhere...christmas will not defeat me. I will so see the 16st somethings by my birthday, I doubted myself, but I will so get there! Whoop!
 
hi im living in bonnie scotland so i know how u feel with the cows etc !

well done u, i seem to loose weight and gain it back again :-/

fingers crossed i do as well as you.

Emma x
 
ela93x - thanks hun, what a lovely sentiment. I'm sure you'll do just as well and probably surpass me by far hehe.

My christmas resolve is already weakening. I haven't been too bad today at all, just had a slice of lemon roulade but overall the day was ok...maybe 1800cals or something. But tomorrow...I am sorry to say will pretty much be a write off! It's Xmas day for goodness sake and the Mingles (choccies) are calling haha. Happy Christmas everyone X
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have been so bad. All Christmas I was just dreadful. Haha, nevermind eh? It's a new year, a new start. Here is my resolution:

To lose a pound a week on average every week of 2011.

I won't always lose a pound, but then might lose 2 or 3. But as long as it averages out then I could be 52lbs lighter by this time next year. What a flipping amazing achievement. And totally achievable. The hard work starts tomorrow, I daren't weigh myself as I've definitely put on half a stone in like a week. I'm sure most of it is water weight and whatever else, but at the end of the day I've been a pig and now need to work super hard for a couple of weeks in order to get myself back to where I was. Happy New Year people, may 2011 bring us happiness and success xxxxxxxx
 
Me too so you're not alone :( Oh well we know what we have to do now. Just put it down to experience, learn from it and move on.
Happy and healthy new year to you .:)
 
Yep, I was pretty bad over Christmas and put on weight :D it was enjoyable at the time, but now I just feel so bloated and can't wait to start afresh. It's great that you've got your 1 lb a week plan - It sounds so sensible!
 
Hey Pip,

Thanks for leaving a message whilst I was gone.

You looked awesome in that dress you posted a few pages back. You have a great figure, you're really lucky to have a little waist - I am such an apple shape unfortunately.

Anyway, just a quick one, muchos love x
 
Hey Pip! Happy New Year!
Don't worry, you can definitely do it. I know you can!
I think your resolution is great and acheivable. I had a similar goal each week, and it's weird, one week I lose barely anything but the next I seem to make up for it! The body works in mysterious ways... :)

My resolution is to live a fun and healthy year with lots of fun outdoorsy things with the kids. :hurray:
 
Aww jess that's a really nice resolution! I'm sure your kids will appreciate it too.

Well I am officially at a loss. I so want to get back on track, I was doing ridiculously well. I was so proud of myself. But as much as I want to get back there, I can't find the way. Tonight I am going to intensely work my way around the forum to give myself a boost. Maybe I should go on a detox (by that I mean no alcohol, no red meat, no sugar) nothing too drastic! Those detox's where you just drink water or whatever make me feel weak and dizzy and can't be good for you in the long run.

So as of tomorrow morning I'm going to hit the gym, book myself in for body pump on wednesday night and really concentrate on getting my motivation back. It's my birthday in 10 days, my night out in 12 days! I'm not sure realistically what I can lose in 12 days, but if I could get off 4lbs I'd be happy.

I have a very busy week at work this week, 50 hours, mostly split shifts so I don't have a lot of time to go to the gym unless I get up super super early. Maybe that's what I need to do, just man up and do it for a couple of weeks to get myself back to where I was. What does everyone else think? X

If its for the short term its great as you're getting yourself back on track, and I know I feel so accomplished when I get back from the gym :D I'm not sure if I could get up so early though!
 
You've done it before and you can do it again. Read through your diary and see how enthusiastic you were about it and try and get that enthusiasm back. One thing that I sometimes recommend to people when you feel yourself flagging is to carry around in a back pack for a few hours things that weigh the same as the weight that you have lost so far. It really makes you realize how far you have come and how much better you feel because of it.
You CAN do this, hop back onto the wagon NOW: :)
