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!!!!!!!

this weeks wiegh in

had weigh in as usual tonite and was pleased with it as i lost another 3 and half pound which give me a toal of 3stone 9 and half pound. and i got slimmer of the month for april and got slimmer of the week.again!!! only 2 weeks today till we go away and i cant wait im so excited like a child really i think everyone is getting fed up of me! oh well

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
