*deep breath* my journey to a thinner / healthier me

[EmmyR1984]

Hey Emmy,
I found your diary at last Look at how amazing you are doing already. I shall be popping in here more often. Looks like you might be my magic little inspirational lady to keep me on track. I just know your will go far and lose that weigh you want for your turkish holiday.

So you weigh ins are on mondays right? I can't wait to come bk and see how you did. Good luck hun. xx

I weigh at home, so I do it on Monday morning once I've ahem been to the loo :8855:

 

[Undecided]

Just caught up with your diary seeing as I spotted it when you first started. You've been doing so well and I can't wait to see your results tomorrow. You've been doing better than I have but then I am undecided! I have started a few good habits and have seen a total of 5lb loss so all good.

Maybe your mum and sister are envious of you actually doing something about your weight and wish they were as strong as you to start. Be proud of what you are doing and don't lose heart, you are already seeing your body change for the better so embrace it.

Good luck for tomorrow K x

Forgot to say - thanks for the easy tomato soup recipe, will have to try that one and don't think I'll forget those ingredients too quickly

Going to just have 2 weetabix so that I save 3.5 syns, I can always go back to 3 if I feel peckish later on

Thanks hun, just really glad I didn't bottle it and raid the choccy tub when I was feeling awful on saturday. Just wish there was a way to keep this feeling bottled up lol

Positives for today

1) I AM 3LBS AWAY FROM BEING A STONE LIGHTER
2) I feel great about how things are going and how I deal with bad days
3) I've had a 100% FULL week, no going over syns, and I plan on doing the same again this week
4) I feel inspired to look at beautiful summer dresses and plan which ones I want for our holiday

 

[EmmyR1984]

5) I feel so thankful to have found this place as I never would have got through saturday without the wonderful people here who follow my diary and help to keep me on the straight and narrow :bighug:

[Clavicles]

[BopKatie]

[PurpleRoses]

well done!! fab loss xx

 

[EmmyR1984]

Thank you everyone

I feel absolutely great today, as though I can achieve anything that I set my mind to. I wasn't sure which way weigh in was going to go because of my 1lb gain earlier this week

I've figured out that I need to average out at about 2lbs loss (maybe a little bit more) each week to easily hit my target of 4 stone lost by the time we go to Turkey. Really going to give this my best shot.

EDIT** it needs to be 2.25 lbs each week lost lol

I've also been thinking, while on holiday, what shall I do food wise? Chris said it's a holiday and I shouldn't be thinking about syns etc. But I know, that by then, I'll be so focused on everything that I won't be able to help myself Chris did also suggest that I could always do a proper swim each morning, to add to the messing about in the pool that we'll probably be doing.

Also, I'm going to start selling old clothes on ebay, things that I won't wear and are too big for me And then I'm going to save the money so that we can have a night in London again this year in december

Ooohhh gosh, listen to me rambling on :8855:
