Fashion dilemma
After my post of last week i have now got a new job and it has put me in a dilemma. When i start my new job, for the first time in my working life i will not have to wear a uniform! i have to wear clothes.SHOCK. It has been fine so far just getting up putting on the uniform and not having to worry about what it looks like. I guess now i will have to buy some work outfits now and put more effort and thought each day into what i wear.The clothes will have to be non iron as i don't do ironing.but at least i will have more choices of where to shop now.

New year, new me
It's been a while since i last posted but the weight loss is going well. The week before Christmas i weighed in at my lowest ever with a total loss of 6 stone 11 lb. we haven't had a weigh in since being Christmas etc but next weigh is next Thursday. I did eat a few things i shouldn't have over the festive period and on my scales at home i am the same weight. so you never know. I haven't done the wii fit for over 2 weeks been busy etc but i have taken to walking the dog.She thinks all her Christmases have come a t once!!.The 10Th January will be our year since we started this, i am hoping to have reached the 7 stone mark.
Hubby is doing well with his weight loss and his is now 5 stone 2 lb.He has been having a few problems recently with his transplanted kidney but he has felt the best he has ever felt and his consultant is really pleased with the weight loss.
It's hard sometimes to keep going but i know the benefits outweigh the risks and i have got to keep going. In my mind i want to loose another 4 stone. According to all the charts i should loose another 7 stone but i think i will look ill so am gonna aim for 4 and see what i look like. Happy new year all.

When the going gets tough........
Its happened! the tough time has begun.
Last week i put on 2 lb, what a shock. i didn't think i had put on that much and came home in such a bad mood. i was never gonna eat again was a comment i made. it was also my star week so that may have had something to do with it and i was really angry with myself. i knew it would pass in a few days and indeed it did. this week i lost 1.5lb so still not back to my lowest weight but still over 6 stone. i think i have really slowed up now and am beginning to get a bit bored with it all and wish i could be normal again and eat normal things but i know that i cant and it would ruin all this hard work i have been doing this last 10 months.

The Magic number
I have had a good week this week.I had a bit of a downer last week as i had put on half a pound. not much i know but it was a lot to me. I'm determined not to put on any so when you do put on its like being hit by a steam train.
i was so annoyed with myself particularly as i had not done anything wrong or eaten anything shouldn't.
anyway this week i lost 5 lb putting my overall total at 6stone 1lb. i cant believe i have lost that much since only January. still more weight to lose but I'm getting there.its hard but I'm so focused on the end goal.

day 44
I reached a milestone today on the wii fit as you may have guessed from the title of this blog.
i have now had the wii fit for 44 days. i have been fairly regular in getting on it nearly every day. i'm on it at least 4 days a week and for about 45 mins each time. every time i use it i sweat bucket loads and my heart rate is raised. the wieight loss is still going in the right direction with my current loss now a total of 5st 9lb.
For the first time since this journey began i feel like i have lost the weight i can look at myself and see the difference. i picked up my nephew last week, he is 10 years old and weighs 5st 13 lb and is as skinny as a beanpole. i couldn't get over how much he felt like and i begin to wonder how i ever managed to carry that weight. it has made me even more determined to carry on and reach my goal ( whatever that may be).
One major achievement is that last week i went shopping for trousers, i cant seem to keep up my changing shape and am forever buying trousers at the moment. i went into my usual shop,Evans and took 2 pairs into the changing room both in a size 24 which is 3 sizes smaller than i used to wear, i tried them on did all the usual things ie breathe in them, bend over in them and not split them all of which i could do and i felt the trousers were on the tight side but fitted really well. when i took them off and was hanging them back on the hanger i glanced at the label and found that they were in fact a size 22!! i cant remember the last time i got in that size. i was SO pleased with myself and couldn't stop glowing with pride.
anyway, the highlight of my week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thw wii fit
we have now purchased a wii fit. thought it was about time we started to get some exercise in our lives. well, i have been on it nearly everyday, Alex has been on it once!!!. I'm quite enjoying it and managed to do at least 45 mins and even break out into a heavy sweat!
my weight loss now stands at a total of 5st 5.5lb. had a bit of a downer this week as i stayed the same and Alex put on 1.5lb.think i am over it now, determined to have a good week this week.
people are still noticing my loss and i am begining to accept it more. I'm seeing people and colleagues i haven't see since i started slimming world and the first thing they comment on how much weight I've lost which is good for me as it brings it home more as they don't see me everyday.still a long way to go but but hey every journey begins with a single step............

woman of the year
its been a while since my last post but the weight is still coming off. the total now stands at 5 stone exactly. i didnt get the job but at least i did the best i could i did ask for feedback but they didnt bother to get back to me, their loss.
anyway back to weight loss, in our local group they have decided to have a woman of the year competition, and the other members had to vote for who they wanted. a list of the top 5 weight losses was displayed although you didnt have to vote for these if you didnt want to. anyway i was top of this list. we find out next week who has won. im still at the stage of feeling annoyed when people say i look so well etc i still feel i havent lost any weight, will this ever stop i wonder!!
