Then I went to weigh in and I was sooo worried, if you have been reading all week you will know I had a bad week but I braved the scales
And................ I lost 1.5lbs I'm so happy and I have set a target for next week of 3lb to get my 1st award


Today I ate
Thursday
Brekkie - Nothing
Lunch - 2 Wholemeal wraps (HXB), with Chicken, 30g Chorizo (2 Syns) and 30g Reduced Fat Cheese (2/3 HXA) and Salad
Tea - I've not had it yet

Wow well done, FAB WI!! I bet you are over the moon! And your family will definitely see a major difference in you when you go home for Xmas!! I've got 2 WIs before my OHs cousins wedding, and I really want 4.5lbs off over those two weeks to have gotten my 2 stone...lets go for it together Hun!!

You are doing so well, I have so much respect for you losing weight whilst at Uni, I was able to do nothing but gain the whole time I was there, and for a year afterwards as well haha! It's so hard, keep up the good work!! Xxx

Thanks
I am so happy especially after last week, I really thought I would have a STS at best, just goes to show if you stay on plan after a blip it doesn't have to be the end of the world :crazy:
I'm hoping to get at least 10 pounds maybe even a 1St off in the next 6 weigh-ins That will put me at 12St for Xmas
I'm sure you can get 4.5lb off in the next two weeks, then you can enjoy the wedding and have everyone admiring how much you have lost :bliss:

I find it easier now its my last year, there is so much work the nights out are cut down loads anyway, I don't think I could have done this in 1st or 2nd year!!!
And dont worry about not being able to do it whilst at uni, your doing it now and your doing amazing

Ahh you're doing great! I want 11.5off in the next 6 WIs, as my Xmas WI is meant to be Xmas day I'm really not sure how that would work, there is one on a Wednesday but do you think consultants will work Boxing Day!? I'm going to find out though as I buy a 12 pass at a time, so don't want to miss it!! Xxx

My consultant runs 4 groups in the week but over Xmas she just does one a week which everyone can go to Luckily its my normal group just 2 hours earlier, but I think every consultant does it differently

 

[camz]

I think I will ask this week then I will know what I'm doing I'm going to give myself a 3lb gain leeway for Xmas and new year! I plan to be reasonably good, but refuse to deny myself treats at such a lovely time of year. I plan to have days off plan Xmas day, New Year's Eve for defs, and I have 3 days in London in between with OH and his family, which I will try to be semi sensible during! Xxx

Well over Xmas I normally split my time between my OH parents and my Parents, we leave for his parents 4pm Xmas Eve and then travel to mine mid day Xmas day then stay until 10pm Boxing day, then we come back to Nottingham, so whilst I'm in Nottingham I'm 100% on plan, but once I leave for his parents SW doesn't exist until I'm back Boxing day

I posted on a discussion a while back about my reasons for wanting to lose the extra pounds and I thought maybe I should add this too my blog too so here it is

"I had a few reasons for wanting to lose the weight and I wrote them down the day after starting slimming world, here they are for you
Firstly when I went to Uni I was happy and a slim size 10, I had boobs and Hips and always will I get them off my mum, and generally once I get to a size 8/10 I look very slim but still curvy.
I am now in my final year and I'm a size 18 I want to graduate and look at the pictures with pride, and not have the memory tainted by my weight gain

Secondly, I want to give my OH back the girl he met, he would never complain but I know he hates how self concious and insecure I have become, I don't want to go anywhere any more because its easier to hide away in the house, I'm mardy and miserable a lot of the time cos I'm so down with my weight and I'm starting to develop trust issues, not because of him, more because I don't feel worthy of him any more. I don't want my weigh to ruin our relationship.

And Finally, my weight now makes me physically uncomfortable, my legs chaff, hot weather makes walking for long periods of time impossible, I can't take part in any exercise and I sometimes eat so much I'm physically sick."

So there you go guys, my motivation

I'm not dressed yet :/
I'm going to get dressed soon thio, then off to the Gym for a hour of so I think, I'm not doing too much today cos I'm going to a gig tonight so I will be doing loads of Dancing there
Its always hard to get motivation back after being ill but don't stress about it, just take every day as a individual day and try to do a little bit more/ a little bit better each day, you will soon be back to normal and back to full motivation

Hiya
Well its confession time, yesterday I fell off the wagon :sign0007:
I had a stressful day Monday and it all just got a little too much, I went to see my mum, we had a difficult relationship when I was younger and ended up talking about some of the issues in our relationship and what happened when I was younger, it ended up getting really emotional and I left feeling glad we had the talk but also really upset. I got home and had planned to pick my boyfriend up at Midnight as he had gone for a few drinks in town, he didn't pick up when I rang him so I was a little worried, he finally got in touch at 2am saying he was lost in a really bad part of Nottingham but was about to get in a taxi home so I started to get ready for bed, he didn't get home until 5am and I spent 3 hours worrying, crying and thinking he had been in a accident are been attacked or something as its only a 20min taxi ride home, In the end I didn't get to sleep until 6am and I had to be up at 8am so I was tired, worn out and emotionally wrecked Tuesday This lead to me eating crap and not really caring, but I'm back on it today and hoping the scales are kind on Thursday, Its also * week so I may have a gain anyway.

Tuesday
Brekkie - Banana
Lunch - (TGI's) Prawns Starter (8 Syns), Little bit of ribs with BBQ sauce on them (4 Syns ) Veg - Broccoli, Green Beans & Red Peppers.
Tea - Small Take-away Naan Bread (17 Syns) 1/2 Small Kebab Meat (4 Syns) Garlic Mayo (3 Syns)
Total Syns = 36

I have just got back from the gym and I feel like I can do more and give more every time I go
I also had a cheeky weigh-in, I know I shouldn't have but I couldn't resist and if the scales say the same tomorrow I will be sooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm just gonna get a bath, have a long soak and read my book, then it will be a late tea and bed cos I have a 9am lecture tomorrow
