jenniebellie: {Week Twenty

About Me

I've seriously attempted to lose weight about 5 times in my life. Twice, I actually managed it, and felt so good about myself; once in 1995, and once in 2002. I managed to keep the weight off in 2003, but it didn't last, and I have steadily gained a stone a year since then. I am bigger now, than I have ever been before, and it is starting to affect my health, and I need to do something about it right now. So join me, support me, or guide me along my journey. I need to lose 48.5 lbs to reach my initial target.

More About Me

I'm a 5' 5", forty something. I eat too much cheese. I just adore it. I drink too much wine, and this is probably why most of my weight has piled on. I don't do enough exercise, I could increase it, I love walking, and cycling, and at a push would go swimming. I don't tend to eat sweet things, and can easily say no to cakes, biscuits, chocolates and sweets. I'm a bit of an all or nothing person.

{Week Twenty - Weigh In}

I ended up with a dilema this morning, I'd been invited out for a pretty posh lunch by an ex boss who is moving to Scotland, and she wanted to treat me. I picked the day, but I am so dippy these days, I'd completely forgotten that it was weigh in day. How could I eat a big meal, and then go and get weighed and not have a gain??

So far, I haven't had a gain in my weight loss journey, and I would be devastated if I did, so I really didn't know what to do, but cancelling the meal was out of the question. So I texted my consultant to say I was n't coming.

I had a gorgeous meal, light, and salady, but a scrumptious, and goey hot baked chocolate pud for dessert, but it was small. I got home weighed myself, and decided I might still manage a loss, and I did.

Woo hoo, 2.5lbs off, and Slimmer of the week too. I am still beaming now. It's made my target just 4lbs away, which is incredible.

So before I went out for a meal, I got on one of those size 14 tailored trousers on, and wore them out to lunch, that was a mile stone, I have been wanting to achieve for some weeks now, and I also found another pair of size 14 jeans a week ago now, that I can get into, infact they are a bit on the big side, and I have to keep pulling them up, but I like the shape of them. A friend of mine took a pic of me especially to show my weight loss to date, so I'll share it with you, but I guess I ought to share my before photos too. When I lose that extra 4lbs and reach my interim target, then I'll share the 'before' photos.

This week was a strange week, because I had two meals out, ate crisps and chocolate for my syns which I never normally do, so maybe it kicked my metabolism this week, because all week the scales have looked pretty good. I'm aiming for just a lb next week, so my Dr, doesn't get to upset with me, and I must start gentle exercise, or my muscles will start wasting away!!

See those arms of mine, they need toning, so swimming I think it will have to be, it's gentle, I'm supprted in the water, and I'll be toning up quite a bit of me, and I ama very good swimmer. Just the thought of cold water puts me off though!!

I'll get all my stats on here sorted later., I must get to bed now.
