Whoop Whoooooooop!!!

Well people...here I am.  Another 2.5lbs lighter! :0)  12 stone...1 more pound and I'm into the 11's haha!!!

3 weeks in - 9lbs off.  I am now the roud owner of my first Silver 7 but...more importantly...my 5% weight loss goal has been reached!  I'm still 'overweight' but WELL on my way to being slim again.

My 'moment of the week' this week was most definitely putting on the black skinny jeans I bought about 6 weeks ago...they were enormous...so big that there was no way I could get away with wearing them!  My initial reaction was to be seriously irritated - I'd only just bought them!  Now I couldn't be happier!! 

So...that's my weekly babble over.  Now I'm off for a glass of vino or 2 with my hubby to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary tomorrow.  I'm having a weekend off...but then it's strictly back on the wagon!

I LOVE WEIGHTWATCHERS!!!

I've done WW before (the old plan)  I felt like I was being starved, stuck to it like glue....and lost nothing...not a measly pound!  So I left and went to SW and LOVED IT!  I lost loads of weight and it just seemed to fall off effortlessly...then we found out we were having Fin so I stopped and just relaxed and enjoyed my pregnancy.

Cut to just over 2 and a half years down the line...and the weight's steadily climbed again to a point where I realised I really need to do something.  WW have opened a new group literally round the corner from my house and changed their plan so I thought, "meh...might as well give it a go". 

2nd weigh in yesterday and another 2.5lbs down.  That's 6.5lbs in 2 weeks.  WHOOP WHOOP!!!!  Oh..and I never feel hungry!

I guess it's official...I Weightwatchers!

Difficult week this week though...I have a very special joint 2nd birthday party to go to on Sunday so I suspect there may be a few "extra" points consumed.  Keep 'em crossed for me!

Heading towards Silver 7 and 5% goal after 1st week!!

Thursday 13th January marked D-Day...the 1st weigh in on a long old journey.  I was on nights during the 1st week of the diet so, although I stuck to my points, my diet wasn't great as I was sleeping all day and snacking (on fruit and WW foods!) throughout my shifts. 

I walked towards the scales and actually felt really nervous...it's amazing how motivating it can be to know that a complete stranger is going to see how "good/bad" you've been!  As I stepped on she asked me how I felt I'd done and I, pretty non-committally, replied: "I'll tell you in a second".  I was watching the scales the whole time, praying to the fat sucker outer gods to have removed enough to be acceptable.  I'd decided (probably not very sensibly) that I would not be satisfied with anything less than 4lbs...

...and there it was...4LBS OFF!!!!  I now weigh 12st 5lbs...still a loooooooong way to go but I feel like I'm off to a fantastic start, and I'm motivated to keep it coming off.  I'm hoping over the next few weeks I start to settle into using different recipes and snacks to put a bit of variation into the diet before I get bored...I'm easily bored when it comes to food!

So - I'm now half way through my 2nd week and looking forward (slightly nervously) to Thursdays weigh in...

Maybe another 3lbs and my Silver 7...or possibly 4lbs and reach my 5% goal?!?!

I'll let you know! :0)

12st 9lbs at first weigh in...ouch!

So, I went along to my first WeightWatchers meeting last night and had my first weigh in.  TWELVE STONES AND NINE POUNDS.  There it is for all to see. 

If I'm honest the scales didn't really tell me anything I didn't already suspect.  The last time I'd weighed myself I was 12st 6lbs...but it's been Christmas since then and if there was ever a person to use an occasion as an excuse to eat it's me!

I'm feeling really positive about this plan.  I think it's something I can stick to, the meeting's only round the corner, and the group seems nice enough, but more importantly I think it will help me to change my eating habits.  On the new WW plan fruit is 0 points...so I'm sure it'll get me eating much more fruit instead of 'wasting' points on junk food snacks.  I also found out they do a Zumba class there on a Wednesday night so I might join that too...one step at a time though! ;0)

So - my next step is to put this blog on my FB account so everybody who wants to can see how I'm getting on and whether or not I lose each week...not sure if anybody will read it but, even if they don't, the thought that somebody might will help me to stay focused and motivated. 

See you next friday - hopefully at least 1lb lighter! :0)
