Back on plan as from The start of Feb and so far have lost 11.5lbs on slimming world. Weigh in tomorrow. Been ill all week, so I hope I've still lost or sts.

If you want an easy meal planner, heres one I made for you to download.

Need to go, kids are shouting.

Update

2010-04-08T21:44:00.001-07:00

Well its been a long time since I updated mainly because at the moment I'm not following SW because I have very bad morning sickness. I'm about 12 weeks pregnant :) Hopefully will be getting back into the swing of things soon!

The vixster is back from her hiatus at the 920 and my bff Fiona has taken the plunge and doing SW! So you can follow her tooo.

New Look

2009-10-26T17:41:00.000-07:00

Updated my blog, can't decide with to actually go through with it and merge the two blogs together since I seem to be as bad if not worse with the lack of updates in my personal blog. Soo what do you think? And do you like the new layout?

Week 18 weigh in

2009-10-24T05:47:00.000-07:00

Don't know if it was just the way I was feeling or what but I was going back to my 'normal' Slimming world meeting today after changing to Monday nights. I was told come back on Saturday its no problem. I turned up with Jenna in tow (probably my first mistake because she was tired and acting up) I went to pay and get weighed, was told I couldn't because I had already paid and I would need to wait till next week. Then Carol the girl who does the weighing said oh just jump on the scales and we will see how much you've lost. Jumped on and I had lost another 2.5lbs totally over the moon!!

This meant I had my stone and a half sticker to get and my club ten sticker which is 10% of your body weight lost. I had been waiting for them for so long and was really happy when I got them. When I asked my consultant and I told her I had been weighed, she was like 'OH DID SHE NOW! I'm sorry but you shouldnt of been weighed and should of waited till next week'. I asked if I should wait until nxt week to get my awards or get them now and her answer was basically. ' Carol will you give her stickers just now it doest really matter'. Well F*ck you it does matter, it matters to me. It is important to me!!

So I've had a cry, a roll n chips WITH butter and a dozen mint matchmakers. Makes me feel slightly better and guess what ladies? I've lost 1.5 stone and I'll lose another 1.5 stone with or without her help. I needed to rant :)

BOOOO YAAAA!

Week 16 & 17 weigh in

2009-10-20T06:29:00.000-07:00

Ha ha how lazy am I? I can't even update this properly - I am rubbish :(

Week 16 - 1lb off
Week 17 - 2.5 lb off :D

Meaning that I am now back to losing weight. Can't believe it has taken me this long to get to near a stone and a half off. If I hadn't been so lazy and got my ass to the gym I would most definitely be at my club 10 by now and nearing a 2 stone sticker. I feel so useless sometimes.

Going back to my Saturday morning class this week as well, long story but hopefully I have made the right choice.

Week 15 weigh in - P**s off!!

2009-10-07T13:54:00.000-07:00

This was at my new evening class, which btw I do not like at all! It's not the consultant or the people but I don't like being weighed at night plus its on a Monday. AND apparantly I put on 2lbs :@ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I think I might switch to Wednesday mornings it might be easier just to go back to a morning class. God damn new job mucking about my stuff. ANYWAY, some pictures for you to look over, this is more like a picture blog tonight!

Look I found them eventually! They were in the poundshop and I may or may not of had 3 of them already...

They are quite small though, little mouthful

Asda bounty #1 - 50p for noodles which I think you get 2 packs of in it

Asda bounty #2 - I want to make the smash pizza so bad!

Asda bounty #3 - new 0% fat yog, not tried it yet!

Made cupcakes with Vix's idea!

Oooo yum yum yum

Topped with glaze icing and fruit bits

The only perfectly iced ones!

Yum yum, the cake mix is 31 syns and for 3 tablespoons of icing sugar its 9 syns, whole lot 40 and I made 16 cupcakes so they are only 2.5 syns each :) One with a cuppa, looooveellly! Fill your boots!

Week 14 weigh in

2009-09-30T14:23:00.000-07:00

2.5lbs off! Goooo meee! So happy to be getting rid of this excess weight.

I'm now fitting into between a size 16 to a 18 which is briliant, I am not sure if I should even buy anything because of my weight changing! But I bought a cracking pair of jeans for 1.99 out the charity shop.

Sooo next weigh in is my groups Ruby party, BRING ON THE HUNGGERRRRRRRRRR. BRINNGG ON THE FOOOODD ;)

Week 13 weigh in

2009-09-25T13:11:00.000-07:00

My Week 13 weigh in was last week but I forgot/been too lazy to update. I lost a half, meaning thats my weight loss up to 16lb. I really need to lose some more and was up for some excercise and even told my Consultant that I was going for 2lb this week, hmph. I'll be lucky with a half or even a STS! It's really hard to train and excercise with my shifts, I get so tired - sit in front of the telly at night after work and then go to bed and start the whole day over again. I just don't feel like I have the get up and go :( Constintly feeling exhausted at the moment.

Got some good ideas for the SW 40th party though! I'll be wearing mostly red and making low syn choc brownies, strawberry cupcakes and strawberrys dipped in chocolate! Yumm! Had a test run of the brownies, they taste gooooood. 3 Syns for each piece for proper cake!

Someone took a little bit of the top right..*whistle*

PLUS in other exciting cooking news, my lovely gran gave me a new frying pan. She's called Ruby, she can make amazing fried eggs and I'm in love with a pan!

Isn't she loooooveellyy?

2009-09-24T14:27:00.001-07:00

UPDATE.. soon.

Week 12 weigh in

2009-09-14T12:38:00.000-07:00

Well... I lost 3.5lb!! And got my stone sticker :D All together I have lost 15.5lb! So happy with how its going, my eating is getting more into a routine as well. I want to do more cooking but my work schedule is pissing me off just now because of the times.

Just now I will be mainly red weekdays and green at the weekend. I had a green day today because I had no time to organise my main meal. Thats the only thing I find with red days you have to be more organised in what you are eating. With green you can just bung on some pasta or potatoes.

I wanted to write a more detailed blog tonight but I am just too tired for words! Hope to be updating more with not just weigh in updates but food blogs and some receipes.

Week 11 - HOLIDAY

2009-09-08T10:15:00.000-07:00

And what was I doing week 11 holiday? Well getting very drunk (1/2 bottle of jack daniels OOPS) eating lots and having cake and chocolate..and maybe mcdonalds. I'm soo bad but I had a good time. My BB Fiona was getting married and I was one of her bridesmaids.

• Pictures from the wedding on my facebook •

Back on the wagon! PLUS my class has moved to a new location, lets hope I can find it ok :)

2009-07-30T12:22:00.000-07:00

Let myself down

2009-07-03T06:55:00.000-07:00

I went out with Scott to the cinema last night and totally let myself down with the amount of drink I had and the food, OMG!

I had a burger and chips before the cinema, popcorn at the cinema and then I had pizza n chips at 3am :(

I am worried that I will be victim of the '10 day rule' which means that I may get a loss this week but it will all catch up with me next week and I will have gained or STS (Stay the same).

Got my weigh in tomorrow. Wish me luck :)

EDIT:

Crisps & snacks, basic, Popcorn, sweet, 28g 6½ SYNS (I reacon the large was about 300g :()
Hamburger and chips together is about 35 SYNS and the pizza with chippy chips..about a GAZILLION SYNS. Plus spirits n diet mixers are 2.5 SYNS.

I think I must of consumed at the very least 100 SYNS :(

First weigh in

2009-06-25T03:20:00.000-07:00

Had my first weigh in today and was devastated a bit. I have not put weight on but I have only lost half a pound in the 3 days that I have been doing the diet. I was hoping for at least a pound. So meh meh meh. I suppose for 3 days thats not too bad. I am hoping to have a bigger weight loss for my next proper meeting on the 4th of July. The only reason I had to goto a wednesday class so soon after joining was that I am working this Saturday so I will miss my normal class. I can't wait to see if I have lost a bit, trying not to get my hopes up and I can't stop weighing myself which I know is bad!

Current weight - 15 stone 8.5lbs
Excercise this morning - 30 mins on step machine in the house
Target HR 130
Managed HR 140 (woo)

Anyway, I have started a personal blog because well my livejournal is a bit redundant now and I want to go back to keeping some sort of website going, even if I'm not paying for it! Adios!

2009-06-22T05:20:00.000-07:00

Went to my second class of Tums, Bums and thighs today. I couldn't finish the majority of the excercises because of the intense BURN in my bum and my thighs. Omg, I thought they were actually on fire :( I am still going to keep pushing through until I get there in the end. I was thinking about everything I am doing and so far I am really pleased with myself!

Just about to have some lunch, SW chips with egg and beans. Yummy, feel like a fatty eating it but its superfree for all of them. Being a good girl :) I might go into what you do on slimming world a bit in my next entry for anyone who doesn't really understand the ins and outs.

ALSO today I have started being a Avon rep. Which will help the bills and help me running up and down the stairs in my flat to get my books. I'm excited and happy. Nothings going to bring my happy mood down today :)

1st Slimming world meeting

2009-06-20T04:30:00.001-07:00

Went really well, I'm actually 15st 9 which means either my scales were a bit squiffy or I actually have lost about 7lbs, I'm saying 4lbs because I just dont believe that I would of lost that much lol. Now I just to figure out how to work out a shopping list?

Fresh start

2009-06-17T14:10:00.001-07:00

This could be good or I could fail miserably at it but I hope I do really well and lose some weight and make myself so much happier than I am just now! My first Slimming world meeting will be on Saturday and I am restarting Tums bums and thighs on Friday.

Wish me luck!
