Going it alone...so my diary and you I hope become my group! :)

OMG! I am so happy! Minis is back!!

So before the place disappeared whilst I was on holiday Minis and my friends here were my only lifeline! I came back from Sharm with a modest 4lb gain (I was quite chuffed with that tbh) from then I was up and down...more downs than ups and before I knew it I had put back on 14lbs

On the 7th September I plucked up the courage and joined a new Monday morning group. Again I have had ups and downs but have manged to get 8.5lb back off so far.

Good to be back!

Good Morning ladies! Thanks to the new subbers!

Ooohh Sar...my head is a little 'fuzzy'...I'm off to class in a little while so will report back on my return

It was a fab night! I stuck to my limit of 4 pints...lol.. But I got so many compliments it blew me away! AND.....du du durrrrrrrrr... I won Runner Up in Best Dressed!...lmao... Guess I need to add a pic! So as usual it was a themed party...this years theme was Movies!

 

[Gemsta]

Quick comparison pic....lol... It's so weird this is the only reason I realised Minis was back because I came looking for this original picture...it is on here but it's buried in the thread as such and not easily found. Right must go! See you all later! x

 

[Gemsta]

Well...not good news. 1/2lb on! After 4 EESP days and 30 lengths swimming too! The only thing I can put it down to is not being at work (I have a physical job) so nothing else to do but pick myself back up and get back to it and a normal EE week and see how it goes. Back later with today's food diary

Todays food looking great, quite fancy a casserole now. Do you know Gemsta many people I know doing EESP often put on. I'm not sure its as great as they make out saying that 1/2 is nothing you'll have that off in no time. Keep at it. X

 

[Gemsta]

I won't bother again that's for sure now...lol.. I did do 4 days earlier in the year and lost 5.1/2lbs, but I think my body is finding it harder to let go now. Have a slight hill to climb in order to get to my 6.1/2lbs for my Christmas target of 12st4lb. We shall see how it goes..its all we can do!

 

[bubble77]

You'll do great. What an amazing achievement so far. Love the photos btw. X
