[CurvyKaren]

always end up talking to somebody at the bus stop usually the little old lady who wants to moan about the weather

enjoy your slinky day, i am useing the treadmill just doing a few mins every hour, i am soooooooooooooooooooo
unfit, but will be jogging on it in no time

Thanks! I could probably pass for 16 couldn't I?! Haha

It's amazing what a little bit of exercise can do over the space of a week or so. It makes you feel so much better

Keep it up Mandy!

Just a mini post in the afternoon...

As I say in my intro to my diary, I didn't have a reason or particular moment when I decided that this is it and I can lose the weight. Nothing amazing happened but I wanted to share with you another lady's from our SW story...

This lady is probably around 55 - 60 and has clearly been going to SW for a few years. One of my first weeks there our consultant asked her to share her story so she did.

She was telling us about her daughter giving birth to a very premature little boy. Things were critical for him because he was so small and they tried all kinds of procedures to get him strong.

This woman would obviously be permanently in the hospital with her daughter and grandson and used to think to herself "all we need is for him to put on a pound or so to save his life and here I am carrying loads of extra stones around me and I can't lose a pound?"

Sadly the little boy passed away because he didn't put on any weight and get stronger but she joined SW and is now a target member.

Although I don't have children yet, let me tell you I was welling up, as was the consultant and most of the group!

Ohhh check your local savers, they sell elure lashes for £1.99. Are they that price in boots? I get scared the lashes will fall off lol

£1.99 is amazing! They're around £5-£6 in Boots, that's they're standard price most places. Look for style 116. They're just look like perfect mascara.

I make sure they've got loads of glue in the sides so they've never come off me. I use the glue that comes with it - it's like that children's glue that you used to put all over your hands and peel off!

Savers is really good for everything, I don't know why I shop anywhere else apart from superdrugs and body shop.

Went there today for fabreeze smelly things, fridge freshener and a gadget that's meant to keep your veg and fruit fresh whilst in fridge .

My ex best friend gave me my first pair of fakes for my 22nd birthday lol I wore them a few times but always felt odd.

What have you done today? I had no big moment why I decided to lose weight either. Which I why I'm doing it so slowly, motivation is very limited because I'm not that unhappy with myself xxx

Awww well if you're pretty happy with yourself then you mustnt have much to do

I've been on and off the computer... On here... Looking at You Tube... Going on the Wii Fit... I've took a note of all my measurements today which I didn't do before.

And now I'm eating a banana!

Hiya.

Just been reading your diary and through this thread. A lot of things said on here that I can very much relate to.

You've all done really well. I joined slimming world about 8 weeks ago and so far I have lost 1 stone and 10 pounds. I am so pleased with myself but I have a very long way to go. But I am determined to do it.

Keep up the good work everyone and I will too.

Ps. I am a scale hopper though. I can't help myself. It's addictive.

Hi Sally! Welcome to my diary

You've done brilliant so far - I hope in two WI's time I'll be close to one stone 10lbs like you (I have 5lbs to shift to get there)

Just out of interest - are you doing extra easy? (apologies if it says on your info but I'm replying by phone and it doesn't show here)

I feel like when I get to the two stone mark I'll be ecstatic but it's just getting there an "holding on" to the good behaviour to get me there.

It's so hard to fight the scale hopping - I swear they've got a magnet on them pulling me on!

karen one of my goals, is when i am happy with myself is to have a make over. I rarely were makeup and certainly never false eyelashes.
By the time i get there you will have finished your beuticien course and i will come to you to have it done

Awww I'd be honoured to do that for you I generally know the process for most things already but I just need to do it officially!

It's lovely having your eyebrows wax... Lashes on... Make up all pretty

I always said to myself that I had to make the best of what i have so regardless of people thinking I'm a wag (they don't say it but I joke) I have a facial every three weeks and my waxing done, etc and although I will go out with no make up on I generally do do something before I leave. I will make the best of what I've got until I'm slinky

Yeah I am doing Extra Easy. Ha ha there is definitely a magnet on my scales.

I am hoping after 2 more weigh ins, I'll have my 2 stone award.

What day do you weigh in? Mine is Wednesday's.

Tuesdays at 9.30am I love that it's in the morning because I feel at my lightest! Haha

The reason why I asked you which one was because I've read others on here say that red and green days give a quicker loss than extra easy and at the moment although as you can see by my signature I am having good losses every week but for some reason when it gets to the weekend and WI is two days away I get worried I haven't lost anything...

I'm feeling like that right now. Wii Fit says I've lost a pound this morning but I just wanna stay losing 2lb or more per week.

Trying to be positive that this week will be no exception...

Hmmm. I feel exactly the same every week. I am convinced I've done well, then a couple of days before weigh in, it seems to slow down and although i do lose weight, it's not usually as much as I'd hoped..... It may be worth trying the red and green days if the weight losses slow down. Although those red and green plans confuse me a little.

Good luck on Tuesday x

Thanks Sally!

I've done red and green days before and I dont like them. It's all over complicated for my liking so I really don't want to be doing them if I can get away with it

There are loads at Target in my class who have only ever followed extra easy, so it just proves, that whatever suits your body, is the way for you!

Phew! Thanks for that

I'd get totally lost with red and green and one day something being ok and the next not!

[CurvyKaren]

Lol I'm the same, I'm too used to extra easy. I've managed a green day and I've managed a red day but I have to plan ahead and it doesn't work well for me. How far have you to go now? I can't see signatures or side panels on my iPod xx

I have a long way to go... I'm 17st 13 and want to get to 12st.

Really I'd like to get to nine and a half stone just because I'm only 5ft 3 and I've never been that small before so I'll aim for 12st first!

Evening Karen,

If you like EE then stick with it x. I've lost 5st in 8 months on it. I did chuck in a couple of red and green days when it suited, and in the last month I did a week of success express which was hard! Normally you would only do a day or two but I was scared the scales were stuck so I tried a whole week! And actually it got me moving again.

Great idea to make a note of your measurements hun. I'm amazed that I've lost 10" from my bust, waist and hips! It's a really good motivator, especially on a week where the scales aren't kind to you.

Nice chatting with you xx

Phew! That's such a relied that you can go "all the way" with EE! Thanks Dawn!

I fancy doing success express - I only found out about that the other day but I'll save it for when I really need it!

Morning all!

I'm not gonna lie... Wii Fit says I've lost two pounds (in total) this morning. Praying that it's true

I have a fairly easy day ahead of me. I have one set of acrylics to do at 10 o clock and that's it... And I have college tonight. Officially it's 6pm-9pm but since tonight is the first one I expect to just be basics about what we'll be doing and ice-breakers.

There's nothing worse is there than ice-breakers?! Things like "pair up and discuss yourselves and then your partner has to tell the group facts about you" ahhhhhh!

Anyway - I'm still excited to get cracking and do the course. Fun fun fun.

I'm aiming for a good food day - who's with me?!

Second entry of the day...!

So I've been up early, put my make up... My eyelashes... Done my hair... Had breakfast (2x nimble with spaghetti) and gone to work.

When I got there I set all my tools up etc, ready for my client, it's 5 minutes before she's due and I checked my business facebook and there's a message from her last night apologizing but she really can't afford to get her nails done today and she'll rebook after payday. She's a regular so I'm not bothered really.

I've come home and I have other things to do... I'll read a little of my beauty textbook to get into the spirit of things and then go out later to college

Im with you on the good food day! You excited for college tonight? X
