Barmel's Journey to Yummy Mummy

So I have done this journey sooooooo many times before and with so many different "diets" and I know that slimming world is a lifestyle not a diet.

I done red or green days years back (at least 15 or more) so when I started extra easy it was new and I only lost .5lb my first week. Then I got the hang of it but then I gained over Christmas / New Year. That weigh came off and then I gained again so i am trying my hardest and my best to lose what I can.

My first goal was 7lbs to get to 12st which I have done. My next goal seems to be taking a while which is another 7lbs to get to 11st 7lbs. My target is 11st and I only have 11lbs to get to this. I would love to have this by July when I got to visit my best friend in Ireland who I haven't seem in 4.5 years and people tell me this is doable but only I can do it.

Well I gained .5lb this week and was a bit miffed by that cause i thought one bad day which was Saturday would maybe lead to a sts or a wee loss not the other way. I have now got my butt in gear and started to do a food dairy and haven't gone over my syns each day. I know I shouldn't but stood on the scales this morning and its showing a 2lb loss so really hoping that it stays that way
 
So far so good. Been 100% on plan and I am hoping it will stay that way til at least Thursday. Now Wednesday are my day from 9.30am til just aft 5pm I dont see my kids (whoo lol). They go to school/nursery then their gran & grandad pick them up and daddy brings them home after he finishes. Usually when I am left alone I eat what I want and that involves chocolate, biscuits, crisps alllll the bad stuff :(. I have got a food shopping coming today with loads of stuff in it that is free for me to eat so hoping I can do it tomorrow
 
eeek its still showing as a loss and I have 26 syns left to use in one day, wow I normally have -106 left lol
 
Well weigh in on Thursday showed a 4.5lb los, took me to my stone off (yeah) and also gave me slimmer of the week. Now to continue with this journey but I have 24.5 syns left to last me to Wednesday eeeek thanks to having cake yesterday cause it was mil's birthday party :( *slaps herself on the hand*
 
well it was a sts for me this week which i am so pleased at as I was so good all day thurs & fri and most of saturday BUT then there was cake bars left over and biscuits calling my name so i ate them grrrrrr. New week, new start so fingers crossed it will be fine
 
I have lost 1st .5lbs since starting in october 2012 (well last week of september). I aint in a real hurry to lose just wondering along the road stopping to look at the flowers lol.
 
Ooh oops havent updated much. Anyway I am still doing it my way but this weekend I have gone off the tracks :/. think cause I had a 3lbs loss thought I could be complacent but Sunday will be the day I get back on it again
 
been on holiday for a week saturday - friday. weighed in at 11st 8.5lbs on thursday before i went & was 11st 10.5lbs on saturday morning when i came back. this morning scales are shoing 11st 9lbs so really hoping i can shift a lb or 2 before thursday
 
Good luck with your WI and well done for being away and not gaining too much at all.
 
thanks but scales are now showing me at 11st 11lbs this morning. Just not feeling the motivation just now & not sure if its still the lack of iron or the heat or both. Had a strawberry tart earlier & didnt even feel guilty about it
 
ffs when does it ever end. Yet another course of iron tablets cause my level went up by 2. This means my body will be knackered again aft getting back to normal. So i am gonna try this from home & see what happens rather then going to class :(
 
well I have been doing the shred now since monday and I am starting to feel a difference plus my weight is around the 11st 7lbs mark which is good for me. I am not in a hurry to get 11st and there are still just over 3 weeks left of the summer holidays so it will be tough. Today tho I wont be exercising as my throat feels like I have swollen 20 million razor blades & I feel like i have been hit by 3 buses :'(
 
So its now the New Year & I am really hoping this will be the year of the new me. I gave up to easily in July 2013 BUT int he short space of time I have only gained 2lbs - shocked isn't the word. I have re started toady & will be joining a class next Thursday. Its the one I was at before & I know I need it cause I slip off the wagon to easily
 
I really should start charting my progress in here. I have so far lost 2lbs in total since I restarted in Jan. This means I now have 17lbs still to target. Some people can lose it easy & would be at target in no time me well I seem to be taking the scenic route as always. As long as I am target this yearthen I will be happy :D
 
well i never, I have had 2 fantastic days (i know friday isnt over yet) and my meals have been great. Now comes the weekend and the test on whether I can do it for 4 days in a row. Inlaws are coming to ours on Sunday as its mil birthday so I am gonna make a plate of food just for me & let the others eat buffet food that I have made. I know I can do, I have proven before that I can do it
 
Its Saturday, I survived Friday night by having a cadburys little bar for 5.5 syns & half a chocolate digestive. I have had a fry up for my breakfast so I am stuffed to the gunnels now. Got an idea for tea but not sure on lunch yet. eating loads of fruit and boy it dont have give you wind :/
 
I kinda survived the weekend & only have 3 more days to get through to weigh in day. I am hoping I can do it, even if I can shift the 2lbs I put on last week. I have 12 syns left to get me through the week. I could use 10 a day but then the weekend is a few days after weigh in so I save them.
 
Good to see you Barmel, I don't think we've spoke since the Thursday weighers. Glad to see you back with us. I have hovered around but had a big break in the diet last year due to the loss of some family members. However, I am firmly back on track, for some strange reason I have still been able to manage to keep weighing on a Thursday (even though I don't go to group anymore) but I don't post my weight weekly anymore. Hope you are keeping well, good luck with getting back on track, you can do it!
 
Well I am back again for the 1547295time lol. I WILL do it this time, I HAVE to do it.
