Blue is my favourite colour..... Lexies journey

[Lexie2005]

So just realised its 4 months today since this journey began. So how's it been & what have I achieved....

It's been good, not saying there haven't been temptations but I'm proud to say I've resisted. If you'd have said to me when i started that I'd be 47lbs lighter at this point I don't think I'd have believed you, I don't think anyone would. I've dropped 2-3 dress sizes depending on what it is & I've got so much more energy, discovered a love for Zumba and have better skin than ever (just wish weight loss made the wrinkles go too!). I've also had the most amazing support from you ladies & gents which has made all the difference!

So if anyone reading this wonders if this can be done I promise if I can do this anyone can! I'm nearly half way there now & can see that light at the end of what was a very long tunnel 4 months ago x

Yes you are doing amazing! And I don't think I would be trying so hard if you had not been here for support and thinspiration

 

[Lexie2005]

Thanks ladies xx

Well big decision made today. I've spent the last 2 weeks hungry & not losing much so I decided to up my calories. It only went down 80 calories but that made a huge difference & I will probably only eat that many more most days but saying I only want to lose 1lb a week has given me 250 more to play with....

I've not had a xen now since last Thursday & I've been ok. I still have them so if I get tempted I'll pop one.

Let's see how this goes......

Sounds like a plan, Lexie, good luck, hope it goes well for you.

Good luck Lexie . Must admit I hardly take any now, mainly because I don't want to run out but I had got to the stage of mostly just evening meals with xen and then not always if it was particularly low fat

Are you feeling better?

 

[Rachgleeson]

sounds like a plan lexie, your doing great!! I am no good with out the xenical, i would fail miserably lol!!

 

[Lexie2005]

Are you feeling better?

Yes thanks lovely, I was ok by yesterday mid-morning. I honestly think it was the smell of oil in the car - so strange!!!!!

Been to the continental market today & resisted it all, Conal had pizza & a strawberry meringue. Mum had a lemon tart & hubby had lots of cake samples. Almost had an ostrich burger but came home & had a warburton square wrap pizza with no cheese instead & it was yum!

 

[Rachgleeson]

well done for resisting all the yummy sounding food, not sure about the ostrich burger though

Ostrich is nice . Try it if you get chance. It's the lowest fat meat there is

I understand what your saying there lexie . i too was a lil dissopointed that i only had a 10 pound loss this month (my fella says i will never be happy) but ive worked my ass off and even eating between 1000 to 1200 calories. im gonna try ww for a month and see how it goes. well done for not having xen. I said i was gonna stop but last night after my dinner i felt i just had to pop the pill (even tho my dinner was low fat. think it might be a psycological thing going in my head xx

Well today is the most amazing day for me so far. About every 6 weeks I have a trying on session. When I started 5 months ago I had 15 pairs of my trousers in my warbrobe with labels still on that I've bought over 10 years that I was gonna slim in to (you all know you have something!!!) & that's now only 6 pairs I don't fit in so although my loss over that past 6 weeks has only been 10lbs I've clearly changed shape massively - thank you Zumba!!!!! Some of the trousers that fit I've not worn for 8-9 years & although I'm sure I weigh more than I did when I got married I'm clearly a better shape. I used to have one pair of jeans & 2 pairs of trousers to chose from to wear, today I have 2 pairs of jeans & 8 pairs of trousers!!!!!

 

[Kayee]

thats amazing lexie. u must be so proud of yourself. i also have clothes that i dont fit into yet . still got that purple silk dress that is a bit tight. hoping to get into it propley by june . where has most of your weight come off. for me its my bum. tummy and middle xx

 

[Lexie2005]

my stomach, thighs & hips especially my thighs they used to be HUGE!!!!

 

[KittyBling]

Great feeling, Lexie, save it up for the bad days to keep you going. Well done,
