Sharon's Before 50 Plan

[Aquasharine]

Hi All. Well definitely felt it today having had a little extra yesterday for Dave's birthday, stomach definitely felt like I'd overdone it just with what I did have so that in itself will make me be careful next week on hols as felt yucky this am and hadn't been that bad. Finally got into some jeans I bought years back that we're sat in my wardrobe that I've never been able to wear and made the decision that a bundle of stuff that is now too big could take a journey to the charity shop. More to cull in due course. I'd been hanging onto it as in the past I've regained weight but decided it's time it went and I need to make sure I keep control more in my future positive decision. Although I've lost 2st 3 since April I'm 2st 13 lighter from SW weigh in the autumn of 2011, the year my parents passed away. I never ever want to be that weight again. Nearly 3 stone gone!

Packing to do tomorrow, my pet hate as I always over pack but try not to lol. Hair colour and nails to do. Making red Thai curry for dinner tomorrow. Been on plan today. Sunday going to make a SW lunch for the journey to Colchester and then try to chose a healthy eating out option Sunday evening. Beyond that a day at a time but plan to enjoy the time off

Hey Aqua, have a lovely relaxing holiday! I know what you mean about getting rid of clothes. My husband doesn't want me to get rid of mine yet!! Left them in the wardrobe and will give it a couple of months and decide.

Hey Aqua, have a lovely relaxing holiday! I know what you mean about getting rid of clothes. My husband doesn't want me to get rid of mine yet!! Left them in the wardrobe and will give it a couple of months and decide.

Dilemma isn't it but encouraged by my daughter I got rid of some yesterday . In the midst of packing, ironing done. Was sorting through underwear and ended up chucking a whole load and realised that I still had a large number of Bras which are now too big! So an impromptu sort and a pop to Asda for some smaller bikini briefs too! Sundress I was also going to take on holiday is rather too big in the bust area. Have other things that are ok though I've just decided if it's gone clothes wise I'll have to keep it off, which is what I want. Work trousers are getting too big again too now but gong to make them last a bit longer yet, going to just keep one size bigger in trousers at a time as I go down. Really don't want to gain a load on hols so the aim is damage limitation

Hey Sharon well done on your 3 lb loss and your class nomination too.. I see your getting rid of some clothes, I think that's a really good idea cos it's too easy to put the weight back on when we have them still hanging in the wardrobe.
Enjoy your holidays too and enjoy a few wee glasses of red.... You deserve it x

Hi All. Back from holiday and started back at work today. Really pleased with how well we managed with food whilst away. Made healthy choices food wise taking it a day at a time, but did indulge with some red wine . Fully on track again today so hopefully when I have my official weigh in on Thursday all will be good. Adopted a Charlie bear in York - meet Xavier lol

Welcome home Aqua. Glad you had a good time and you look fab in the photo can really see the difference to your Avatar picture. You loom brill. Charlie looks nice too. Good luck for weigh in this week. I'll be weighing in on Thursdays evening too. Xx

 

[TracyGWill]

You look great, Sharon - are you sure you need to lose weight?! xx

 

[Aquasharine]

Yup have a good 3 st 6 to go to my set target which is where you are now though may go 7 lbs below that - camera shot is hiding the chubby bits . Classic pear shaped girl so out of camera shot lol

Lol, ok, I believe you. You do look lovely though. Being apple shaped, my extra weight congregates on my top half, so harder to hide on a photo without cutting my head off! xx

Hello Sharon and others. I'm 50 on 8th April next year and determined to kick myself into shape before then. Even a 2 or 3 stone loss would be grand but more would be fantastic! Health is an issue for sure but I'm also fed up of looking frumpy when I don't feel it. Since 2002 I've been a busy working single mum putting growing kids first and dealing with nasty self image issues ingrained deeply by my ex. My children are now 17 and 18 and becoming more and more independent and I feel at 49 I finally have more "right" to a less than perfect body!

 

[Aquasharine]

Hi Cariad. Welcome . You have plenty of time to achieve your weight loss for April. Don't think we aspire to have perfect bodies as we get older just slimmer and easier to get clothes, be healthier, etc. 50 and new phase for us hey. Just off to work here at mo so will catch up with everyone later

Hi Sharon, all i can say is WOW you look absolutly amazing in that photo, I thought it was your daughter whan i first seen it , no way do you look nearly 50, you look about 30 to me, and im not just saying that i really mean it.
I hope you had a great holiday and have settled back into work now. Its always hard the first few days back isent it.

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my page by the way the support from you has been great.
