JanD's New Year, New Start, Maintenance Diary

[JanD]

Thanks Sandra .... I feel best around 10st 3 or 4 so that's where I'd like to be in March. I'll be sticking to WW and see how that goes xx

 

[SandraB]

Well in theory you've got enough time to get there but I don't know what sort of losses to expect with this new plan. On the old one it used to be between 1-2 lbs, very rarely any more and plenty of weeks sts. I did 8 weeks this time last year and lost 16lbs exactly but I was also working out at least 4 times a week with a personal trainer. Still it's got to beat doing LT again hasn't it? Anything but that!

 

[summergurl]

Told you you'd be surprised Now you must have done brilliant as didnt you say you thought you were up 11lbs?!!!

Im confident you can get where you want to be for Australia xxx

 

[JanD]

I don't think I could do it again Sandra - not that I could get it anyway at my BMI, but I don't think I could stick to it again - once was more than enough!!

I won't be happy with 1lb a week but 1.5 - 2 would be okay (-ish ). How about you?

 

[JanD]

I WAS up at least that at one point Tan .... sadly - I just hope today wasn't REALLY a result of dehydration or it'll show next week xx

Ideally I'd like to see it drop off at 2lbs a week but realistically I can't see that happening! I guess if I lose a lb a week I'll be happy. I dont feel particularly overweight at the moment but horribly flabby cos of the lack of proper exercise over the last few months.

I had a physio season in the gym this morning, first one, so I can hopefully start going to my regular gym and working out again like I used to. See my Consultant this afternoon for a check up so I hope he will also give me the all-clear to get some normality back into my life!

We have decided that we need a good holiday this year too, so going to start doing some research......should cheer me up a bit, life's been pretty **** for a while....... X

 

[JanD]

Ooo exciting! It's great planning a trip

I'd get disheartened at only 1lb a week I know I would, but I guess we'll both just have to wait and see what happens

How did the check up go? xx

[SandraB]

Mine too Tanya, toes, eyes, anything......if it'll help! You'll have run a few miles by then too and that will help x

 

[irish molly]

Jan, at least you have got back on track and are tackling the bit you put on over the hols. I have not moved out of holiday mode yet!!
Fab news about your trip to Oz. What a great target to keep you on track. I bet you are already planning your wardrobe!! Lucky duck, I am green with envy.

 

[kered]

Jan, thats a brilliant weigh in, considering the 11 you were up at the unofficial weigh in. I am sure you can crack the loss at 2lb a week with WW to get to the desired weight for Oz.

If anyone can do it Mrs, YOU CAN!

"Jan Jan she's our (wo)man if she can't do it no one can"
