The Start of ChubbyChars journey ..

Hi CC. Thanks for visiting my journal. It was nice to hear from a fellow Scot. I do weight watchers, but have had to give up the meetings as I work shifts, which vary from week to week, but I still stick to the diet. Good to see that you're still loosing. I also plateaued and then decided to try the sure start, you know the one. You reduce your points for 2 weeks, and that is supposed to start your weight loss again. Only with me it didn't work. I didn't loose anymore weight, in fact, when I went on holiday for 2 weeks, I came back, and found that I had gained 11 pounds. Then I joined this site, and read some of the advice posted, and went back to 26 points, and have lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks. Still have 9 pounds to get back to my pre-holiday weight. I try to weigh in every week, but am currently working nights and that can mess with your weight. So I am going to weigh in on Wednesday or Thursday. Swimming is good exercise for you, I try to go 3-4 times a week. I also go to the gym, but find that very boring, and it also aggrevates my neck and back injuries, so I don't do that as often as I should. I have been toying with the idea of trying weights. So I am going to have a chat with one of the instructors there and see if I can work out a programme which will suit me. I also really enjoy walking. I once walked the Great Glen way (80 odd miles in 4 days) Just make sure that you have got proper walking boots if you decide to take it up, and living in Edinburgh, you have some great walking country near you. So take advantage of the Right to Roam. (don't do what my friend did and try to walk 24 miles in brand new walking boot. Her feet were really cut to ribbons.) I also have borderline high blood pressure, but other than that and the bad back, am fairly fit. Haven't had my blood pressure checked since I started to loose weight, but can easily get it checked at work. Well must go to bed now, as I have been up for 27 hours now, and have to go back to work tonight. Look forward to hearing how you are getting on:waving::waving:

wow your doing so well :D keep up the good work, you will soon be 2 stone lighter before you know it :D
 
Hey guys slowly but surely getting there i suppose, decided to come back and chat had a bad few month in my personal life and really just needed to chill out and relax nothing to do with yous !!!
Anyways on a happier note its my 27th birthday tomorrowww woooooo!!! god i feel old and i wish i had started my weight loss years ago but hey ho its done now. ! Am currently sitting at 20stone and 13 pounds i started at 22stone 5lbs so hopefully it will carry on:) ohh ohh and i went to the nurse for my blood pressure monitoring and guess what !! i have a normal blood pressure again woo ! and i dont even mean for a fat person i actually have it for a average sized female ! so very chuffed about that , she was so excited id lost so much weight she just about peed herself i think lol..she was like lets mark it down in your records and we will monitor it as well as your blood pressure every 3 months!!! so i cant let her down i thought she was going to kiss me ! :) lol..., me and my b/f have decided to book a hoilday for next septemeber to turkey so i think i would like to be at my first goal weight by then which is 5 stone. I got 6-7 lbs till i reach a 2 stone loss so i think its acheivable, I also worked out i see the nurse 5 times before i go on hoilday if not 6 i think, so i think giving myself a goal of maybe 10-12 lb loss every 3 months , i should be at least a stone lighter ever time i see her which keeps her and my doctor happy and of course me !. i think this is reasonable and not pushing myself to the brink, im not sure what im up to tomorrow , hopefully its sunny so i can go for a nice lunch or something but not really sure yet i think the family might have sneaky plans to take me out for a bad dinner !but you know whats its my birthday and i should enjoy it it only comes once a year. I hope everyone is doing well with there goals and ill hopefully speak to yous all soon xxxxx
 
thats really great news about the blood pressure :D i think that your holiday will be a big motivator for you as well as seeing the nurse, try to stay focused between now and your holiday as iam sure that you will be at your goal and 5 stone lighter for you holiday :D x
 
Aww thanks you !! its taken me a little longer to get this weight off thn i thought but you know what its still coming off and ive basically got over a year to do it in so a better be slimmer ! plus by then i should be able to go to shops like new look and primart and buy £3 tops for hoildays instead of £2o evans tops , that i swear is what i grudge the most ! all my trousers are too big for me apart from one pair but i refuse to buy new ones keep on getting told at work to get new ones since there practically falling off my arse lol.. first time i think ive worn a belt to keep something up in my life lol... ! And its good to have you back as well !!! hope your weight loss is going well. seen the puppies there well cute sorry to hear bout your gran though bloody thugs !!!
 
you should try peacocks i shop there for tops quite a bit and i can get into some of there tops at a size 20-22 or 22-24! i know how you feel about evans i hate getting my clothes from evans they are so over priced! i think that someone should open and clothes shop for plus sized ladies with a resonable price tag and they would end up getting more money than evans as woman would prefer to buy from there!

you should see the puppies now there little eyes are open! i will be sad when my uncle sells them! oh well atleast i can look forward to his other female dog having puppies soon!

if i dont see you tomorrow happy birthday but iam sure i will manage to pop by!
 
come on !! hit me with all you got i will WIN !!

Hi guys and gals, not been here for a few days so i thought i better show face ! had a really good birthday on friday lots of pressies and the best one of going on hoilday next year ! except i wrote we were booking to go to Turkey and we had decided were going to go to Florida instead !!! its a little bit more but alot of my family are going over so were getting a villa with them so def better start losing some serious weight now lol.. !
I am currently still on w.w am still following it but not being as strict with myself points wise and writing it down which iam going to start back on i am still losing weight but prob would be losing more if i stuck to it to a tee. I have stopped weighing myself every week now as i feel sometimes it totally puts you off when youve went up a week and i dont need that hassle of crying over a pound so i ve started doing it every 2/3 weeks then its a bigger smile on my face when i do it or when i feel lighter ! i bought myself a tape measure but im still to actually measure myself i need to move my ass to do that !
I am currently now sitting at 20 stone 11bs
woo! 2lb loss since last week ( i had to check i had a v .v bad birthday weekend )
Also i can wear a smaller size in clothes now i used to wear 26/28 i was more of a 26 but i liked the fact that the spilt size covered my belly more , ive always worn stuff bigger as i hate the fact that my belly hangs over :( I bought a size 26 top and its actually too big ! so i tried on a 24/26 top that i have and it fits and covers all the bits i wanted covered ! i dont think am quite at a size 24 yet but who knows i dont own anything that small ! So i am very chuffed about that !only thing ive started to notice that is bad its that the fat on the inside of my thighs although getting smaller is starting to wobbly and hang over more like loose skin :( which i suppose i am going to have a lot of as well as my belly apron but at the end of the day i dont care about loose skin as long as i look good in clothes ! my b/f seen me naked its not a pretty sight but ill look a god damn sight better smaller with loose skin lol.. so all in all having a good wee day to myself long may it continue :D:D xxx
 
Dear Char,

I am sorry I haven't been keeping up with you--I've been busy with work. I'm so proud of you, though. Congratulations on your weight loss. :hurray:
 
Hi guys , sorry thought i better show face since i havent been here for a whiles , been so bliming busy ! now on a weeks hoilday from work yay !!!.. but not a minute to myself it seems, why does everyone want to see you when all you want to do is relax lol.. plus we have got the bf little brother staying with us indefinatly just now..... a dont know how long for but its bad enough with the bf him and his wee bro are like bliming children when there together and there bloody 25 and 26 lol.. !!
Well last few weeks not seen a change in my weight to be honest im kinda hovvering between 20,11 and 20,13 , so a really need to stick to it strictly and get ma ass moving with some excerise as i really want to be down my 2 stone by the end of septemeber ! Im finding it a bit of a pain while the wee bros here my gliders is in the spare room which is currently where he is with the sofa bed lol.! its too big to put anywhere else and its so bliming heavy i cant move it myself! Its kinda hacking me off hes ruining our routine i feel uncomfy excerising in ma own home! lucky there both out working this week so i have managed to do my workout dvd in the living with the cat giving me some strange looks all be it !
My bf is doing really well .. hes went from 19stone 5 to 17stone 5,yes more than me :( but i dont mind i am happy for him. Hes currently just started working as a postman so all that walking has really helped him shift it , they even said to him when he started ull loose about a stone in your first few weeks cause of all the walking !! ive got lot more weight to loose than him so i can afford to make sure am doing it right , i m might be doing it slowly but least i knw its staying off.
Well im off out today to go see my mum going for a spot of lunch today and a wee walk about town to burn it off i think.
Hope your all doing really well and reaching your goals :Dxx
 
Hi Char :)

Dont worry so much abt not losing for a wee while, it happens to everyone! I went for 3 weeks without a single pound shifting...it goes down eventually! You have done really well to lose 20lbs |:)

Hope you enjoyed lunch witrh ur mum, ur walk around town must have been interesting with the festival on!

I swear i want it offf !!! Ive got nearly year until i go to florida but i want to be skinner when i go ! ive got my nurses appointment at the end of september so i really reaalyyyy want to have the 2 stone off by then I know what i need to do and i know that i am the slacker.. but i willlll doooo itttt !!! I think am going to go go swimming after my work i need to start doing more excersise to shift this i may have ate crap this week but i havent really put on any weight which mean am still eating too much than am burning off ! arghhhh am such a loooserrr !!! right new week new charlene lets goooooo....
 
Yayyyy !!!! i have been soo good this week im so proud of myself , ive worked my poor wee fat body to the ground, with my glider,excersise dvd and my wii, everything hurts but its so worth seeing those numbers fall down, i know i havent actually updated my ticker in ma while cause my weight was going up down up down but as from this morning i am 20 stone and 8lbs :hurray: coming down from 22 stone 5 pounds since may when i joined and started my weight watchers ,so only 3lb to go until i reach my 2 stone goal wooo!!!! and to celebrate am going to go get my hair done next week :D
 
Hi guys , sorry i aint been around much i have been mucho ill :( I have had a viral infection for nearly 2weeks , been like hell, doctors couldnt give me anything because its viral and antibiotics dont work so ive been suffering and still going to work which has totally taken it out of me, Havent been following my ww at all being ill i was eating anything my body really wanted to be honest in saying that i have gained 2lbs which isnt too bad so i am 20st and 10lb now only 5lbs till my second goal which i was ment to have done last week so i got my hair but in advance !! lol.. i know but it needed cut anyways !
I really want and need heathly food right now am really craving carrots and fruit juice, I never ate really bad wheni was sick but i really craved fatty foods when i was ill. And my mother always told me if your craving something its because your body needs something in it so you should have it , Not an excuse by the way i totally believe it so ma bodys saying carrots so i will have carrots ! lol...
Im finding this harder than i thought again its a big disruption on my behalf still having the bf brother staying with us i know it shouldnt bother be but it really puts me off , but i cant ask him to leave so i can get skinny! so ive decided am just going to have to deal with the piss taking am going to get from him i suppose lol..
Ohh and a got a new kitten ! i already have a 5 year old cat called Hobbes and now we have little Emy , Shes so cute i think my weight lose stayed down to the 2lb gain because ive been running after the pair of them !
Well am away to plan out my lunches for the week and make a big ol pot of home made soup yum !!! Hope you guys are all doing ok , no one seems to be about at the mo ! i hope i havent e-virused you all !!! good luck xxxxx
 
Hi Guys and Gals ,
Sorry i aint been around much lifes pretty hetic at the mo with work and home.. Well today was big weigh in day with the nurse.... which i was dreading as my scales said i was not near my goal ( these are my old wonky digital scales as my new ones have broke!?! )
So she asked me how it was going and i was like no sooo well :( etc etc .. i have been following my plan pretty much not writing stuff down anymore or measuring cause i can basically do it myself now lol.. but i hadnt done any excerise to push it .
Anyways she weighed me and got me at exactly 2 stone off ! WOOOOOOO!! i was like nooo it cant be ? She said yes def and this is with your clothes on minus your shoes so your def doing well!!!! She said i must have wonky scales (tell me something i dont know lol.. ) as she has old doctors ones that the dial goes round.. she informed me that digital ones take diffrent weight dependiing on where they are and how they are feeling lol.. and dial ones would be better so i think i am going to invest in a set of old school ones instead :D
Am so much happier and even though i thought i was going mad at feeling slimmer but my scales not moving least i have been proved wrong !
Other plans which have changed recently is were not going to Florida next year (sept) anymore so there was my goal gone :( moneys tight just now as am sure everyone one knows from the uk.. so we decided to spend the money on getting our house done up weve been here a year and only painted 3 rooms lol...
Buttt... i do have a new goal ohh yesss ! My bf brother is getting married next year 22nd july 3 days before my 28th birthday.. so with my bf obviously being there so will i all day.. which means wedding fotos noooo i dread fotos i hate them and looking like a beached whale in them aint so hot either !So ive decided that i would like to look at least decent in them and maybe get a dress ! now this might not seem alot to people but i have not worn a dress since i was about 15 gods honest truth! ive wore a skirt once at my dads wedding which i hated but didnt want to be the only person there in trousers lol.. i dont even own a dress or skirt as im very apple shaped(small bust for the size i am but a huge belly ) so everything just makes me look round lol..So thats my new goal to be able to buy a dress for next july and at least look half decent in it and the wedding fotos lol..I see the start of a waist.. long may it continue.............:party:
 
Congratulations on your weight loss! My weight is coming off very slowly, I had a couple of bad days too where I ate everything in sight. But I'm so proud of you for sticking to it even though there's someone else in your house messing up your diet.

I hate photos too. I always look worse than I feel at the time, so I hide all of my pictures in a box and I never look at them. :p But dresses aren't so bad. I like to wear empire style dresses, where the waist part is way at the top and the rest is sort of drapey and covers my tummy. I'm sure you'll look great when it comes time to do photos!

Anyway, high five! I know you can do it.
