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!!

down and down
Well the weight is till on the downward trend. current weight loss now stands at 4 stone 5 1/2 lbs.It is slow job now with only 1 or 2 lb a week coming off but at least is coming off and not going on. I had a job interview the other day something which i really want to get in to in my field of work. i suddenly realised that since my weight loss i have nothing to wear smart enough for an interview!! i know that what we all Say us girlies but seriously i didn't, so off i trotted to tesco and bought a pair of really smart trousers a bargain at only £10 and the best bit about it was i had to buy 3 sizes smaller !!!. then off to lakeside and i bought a smart shirt again 2 sizes smaller. then i thought go for it and i bought new knickers and a new bra , i know what you are thinking they will never see my bra but it makes you feel good when you have new stuff. the interview went as well i thought it could go but i now have to wait till possibly next week to find out if i was successful.

feeling static
Do you ever feel static? i certainly have this past few weeks. Im still losing and have now lost a total of 4 stone 2 lbs and havent had again since we returned from holiday.
im still feeling like i havent lost weight but i know i have as the book tells me i have. people still are congratulating me and givng me loads of encouragement but i feel like screaming and saying hey im still fat( which i am )
i still need to lose about another 6 stone, which is a tremendous task but im determined to make it.

post holiday blues
We had a lovely day when we renewed our vows and everything went well.
We then had a very nice two weeks in florida and the weather was absoultely gorgeous and a times too hot and we did forget about the diet as it was impossible to stick to it and i must say that McDonalds chicken nuggets and chocolate milkshake taste really good. we had our first weigh post holiday last thursday and believe or not i lost 2.5lbs and have now lost in total 4 stone. i'm so pleased!! but i still get worried as when i look at myself as to me i think i still look the same and feel urrgh. people are so kind by telling me that i look good. Great! i feel like shouting and saying that im still fat and horrible.
please bear with me as im sure it is just a phase im going through

the week before the event of the year
Well, the weigh in last week was fine. i was a little worried that i hadnt lost this week no specific reason but i think that you sometimes get a little stuck. I mean i havent cheated or anything. i've done good as i havent had a chocolat ebar since january. I lsot 1.5 lbs this week so that takes my total loss to 3 stone 11 lb.
On saturday we renewed our wedding vows and altough i couldnt get in my wedding dress, i did buy a nice dress from evans and it was 2 sizes smaller than i usually wear. I had loads of compliments about my weight loss. I dont know about you though but i find it so hard to accept the compliments. Sometimes at the moment i look at myself and i still see someone who is still very fat and hasnt lost any weight. I know that my slimming eorld book tells me i have lost nearly 4 stone and things like me being able to get my engagement ring on also tells me.
the ceremony was really lovely and afterwards at the party alex made everyone cry when he did a little speech thanking his kidney donor's family for the gift of life. we are off on holiday thursday, i suppose you could call it a second honeymoon!! the only problem is we are going with 18 other people!!!
anyway, things go on and the only problem is i wont be able to go for weigh in for the next three weeks.
see you all soon!!!!!!!

two weeks to go
well have finally got around to actually putting something up here. my weight loss journey started on 10Th January this year when i had finally realised that enough was enough and i couldn't go on like this anymore. to say that I'm overweight is understatement. i was over 24stone and was beginning to get weight related health problems. i was diagnosed with arthritis in my knee in fact the doc told me i had the knee of a 70 yr old( I'm only 37), i was having problems breathing IE the minimal exertion and i was a huffing and a puffing and i was fed up with only being able to shop in Evans!!
so me and my hubby decided along with my brother and sister in law to join up.
it wasn't as bad as i thought going into that room. i mean there was people bigger than me and it wasn't patronising. the leader was very nice and explained everything. so that is where the journey began.............
we are now 4 and a bit months on and i have lost 3 stone 6lb and hubby has lost 2 stone 6lb. the other have also done well and have lost 3 stone 6lb and 1stone 7lb. so between us we have lost over 10 stone!!!!!!!!
it has been fairly easy and i haven't strayed. i haven't missed anything really although i did miss chocolate in the beginning but now it is way of life. i think it has really helped having a supportive husband and family who understand. we are renewing our wedding vows in less than two weeks and then having a second honeymoon! not that we were unhappy or anything but hubby had a kidney transplant 18 months ago and has been given a second chance at life so we are celebrating this.
Will update this blog as and when we have weigh In's
