Oh no :(

Well I went to WI last night and put on 1/2lb.
I know it's not a lot but I haven't put on in a little while and I didn't think I deserved a gain as I'd been good all week.
It is totm though so maybe that's why.

Anyway, I'm trying not to let it get me down. In the grand scheme of things it's not a lot and it should be fairly easy to lose if I have a good week.

Here's to a good WW week!

I like me!!!

Well today i decided to have a trip to good old Matalan as i needed to get new holiday things for November and I've realised the shops are now stocking winter gear!!!
I've been putting it off as i wanted to lose more weight but i thought i better get something now otherwise I'll be walking the Caribbean beach in pj's!!
I went to both the normal store and the clearance centre and picked up a new items, got LOADS of things all for under £30 the lot!
I bought things I'd never have had the courage to wear (including leggings!) and i even though i still hate my belly with a passion and need to lose another 3 stone, for the first time in a LONG time, i stood in the mirror and wasn't totally disgusted with what i saw.
I felt happy for once in the joy that i am now a size 16 instead of a 22 and that at the age of 26, I'm starting to dress my age (black trousers and granny jumpers just didn't work anymore).
I'm a long way from where i want to be but I'm happier than i was and i feel more confident in myself - GO ME!!!!

Oh, my OH made me laugh, he said the other day "every week I'm loving less of you".
Ok.....at first i was like what the.... and then he explained "because you're losing so much weight there is less of you to love". (He did go on to add that he loves me more than ever though...arrrhhh soppy git!)

WI result - well deserved

Well i weighed in tonight and lost 1.5lb. I was happy with that as that is a good result for me, I have to work pretty hard to get that kind of result.
If i'm honest I was hoping for 2lb but i'll take the 1.5!!!
My class leader Elle asked for a before picture of me to put on her board in the meeting, so i gave her a copy of that hideous pic of me on the right (with the scrumpy jack!) as it's probably the picture of me at my biggest.
I got lots of nice comments from the other helpers and members and it was really nice to hear especially when i find it hard to notice the difference myself.

I now stand at 14st 2.5lb and as a mini goal i want to be 14st by the end of august. Losing 3.5lb would take me to my 4 stone loss to happy thoughts please people!!!

Monday 17th August 09

Well, it's monday again (((sigh))) and i'm feeling quite optomistic for WI tomorrow. I thought i'd post a pic of the place we're getting married.

This is the exact spot where we got engaged and even though it's not the spot where we will get married, this is a great pic of the true beauty of the Dominican Republic.

11 weeks and 18lb to go until I fly out. Ideally i'd like to be 12 stone for the wedding but it all depends on how my dress fits!

A few piccies

I don't have many photos of me through my stages as i don't really like having my pic taken, but these are a few to show you all.

This pic was taken in August 2007, about a month or so before i joined WW. I was on a weekend break in Straford Upon Avon and I think i must have weighed about 18 stone here (O.M.G!!!)

This pic was taken in April this year when i was chief bridesmaid at my friends wedding. I was about 15 and half stone here so already a good amount lost.

This pic was taken in July at Whittlebury Hall Spa, me and Paul went for an overnight spa stay. This is pretty much how i look now at 14stone 4lb. Still a long was to go but i think i'm getting there.

16/08/2009
Well this is my first post so i hope this works!
As my title says, I'm losing weight not only for my wedding, but also beyond so that i have a happy and healthy life.
I've been on WW now for nearly 2 years and so far have lost 51lb. I lost a good chunk of that within the first 4 months on WW but messed about for the past year. I finally realised i needed to stop messing about and give it 100%. Since then I've managed to lose another stone.

It was 12 weeks yesterday until we fly out to the Dominican Republic and get married. There will be 14 of us in total which consists of our immediate family. We are then spending 3 weeks out there (only 2 wks with family, lol) and then a reception when we get back home.
I'm so excited i could burst!

I haven't had a bad week WW wise this week, had a chinese takeaway last night but it was all pointed and was my treat for being good and doing LOTS of exercise.
I WI on a Tuesday so all will be revealed then.....
