****I DID IT!!!****

OMG what a weigh in!!!!! I'd not had a bad week but i wouldn't say that i'd been particullally good!!!!


BUT saying that i didn't feel scared to get on the scales, i stood on and it was wobbling between 17.13 -18.5. well last week i was 18.4.5 so it was touch and go, then it started to settle down 18.0.5 and finally just as it beeped 18 dead!!!! ARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! Wooooooooo!!!!


i said to helen you know what that means and she said yes but she clearly didn't!!! haha it means i'm now not only at my lightest for a hell of a long time (so long i couldn't give you a date!) (the lightest in past few years is 18st 2lbs) it means i've finally reached god knows how many mini goals!


one to be 18.2

two to hit 18st

which in turn leads to three and 4

3: 2 stone lost


4: 10%

Woooop!!!!!
and in addition my 4.5lb loss made me Slimming of the Week..... i feel that that should have a jingle attached to it!!!!


It was quite funny really cos i weigh everyone, do certificates, work out slimming of the week i hated to say it was me but at the same time why should i be exculded cos i do the weighing!!!!


i got a bumber bag of goodies!!!!

tines of beans, peas, sardines, mug shots, alpen bars, fruit amongst some of the things


Then to top it all we won one of the raffle prizes!!!! hehehe

came away with another hula hoop, leg weights and a badmington set!!!!


Here's a copy of my latest graph from SW website!!! as you can see the green line shows my Club 10 wooop!!!! (sorry still giddy!)

the line at the bottom is what SW call PAT (personal attainment target) my real one is about 11stone but as its along way off i'm just doing things in small steps

My 1st goal was 28lbs!!! my next one is the next 26lbs.
26lbs might seem like an odd amount to lose why not go for another 2stone as its only 2lbs off, well its psycological more than anything. as you have less weight to lose it gets harder so small steps.


also doing it this way i've evened up my 6 mini targets all because of my fear of the number 13!!!!


ok so bear with me and i'll explian myself!!!


my max BMI weight is 11stone 1lb. well thats only 1lb off 11stone right and only 2lbs away from the 10stones.

with me so far, well if i weigh 10st 13lbs it has a 13 in it so rather than going for that i'd rather aim for another 1lb!!! so my real Pat is 10st 12lbs!!!

But again that is on the far horizon and while i don't doubt SW will help me lose more weight its so far off not even binoculars will help

so goal one was 28lbs!!!

goal 2 is 26lbs

goal 3is 23lbs (these are guesses i've left the proper thing i worked out at work)

goal 4 is 21lbs

goal 5is 18lbs

goal 6 is 12lbs


So for now i've done goal one and i know its a bot geeky but i feel really proud of myself and below is an image of what 2stone could look like!!!!

Meow!!!!!!

Roll on the next 26lbs!!!!!

i've also set myself a target date that is the monday before i go to egypt at the end of october!!!!

this should be realistic with a 1.5lb Weight loss per week.


what do you think that that is realistic enough or should i allow a bit longer?

Hulled the Hoop

A couple of weeks ago i won a hula hoop and its been sat in the SW bag at the side of the sofa ever since. with the plan to palm it off on a neighbours kid, but today as it was sunny i thought i's open it and put it together (each of the colours is a different part that slots together.) i was quite worried with it being a kiddie one it wouldn't fit round me but it did with a small bit of room to spare.

So i am filling in my F.I.T logg with hula hooping for one of todays activities!!!! and i have a photo to prove it!


The count down to the wedding is now in single week figures just under 6 weeks to go.

I have been looking at dresses for weeks and have even bought a lovely one from ASDA but took it back as i couldn't fit into it.

i've had it into my head for ever that i want a blue dress, that bright blue thats very in now, but i've wanted it for over 12 months but it looks like almost every other female wedding guest is also going to be in the same colour, so once again stephanie won't be getting what she wants.

i have seen a lovely dress in debenhams but its black and i really do not feel black is an appropritate colour for a wedding unless its a black and white themed wedding or a goth wedding. that just my own personal oppinion and i'm sure many people will disagree with me.

Anywho the hunt continues.
I got this dress today from Tescos of all places!!! and i really do like it and i doubt anyone else will be wearing Florance and Fred!!!
i feel quite torn really as a lot of other people are spending big sums on dresses, but not being stingy i really don't see the point in spending £70+ on a dress i will only wear once (hopefully) as it will be too big for me soon!!!

i put on my pledge card that i want to wear a size 18s dress to the weddig but i tried on a size 18s in debenhams today and i looked like a bag of rusty spanners. i am now accepting i do not give a rats bum cheek what size the dress is as long as i look OK in it not even bothered about half decent any more i officially give up!! NOT on tge diet that is.

my new mini goal for the wedding which i'll update on my card is to be in the 17s by the wedding even if its 17.13½!!!!! 5lbs to go!!! 4wi's a holiday to poland and another Hen do!!!! hmmmmm

watch this space


anyway comments about the dress would be much appriciated, contructive critasism welcome no abuse please xxxx

Krakow Here we come again

i week today and i'll be off to Krakow again. i just hope its as good this time round. 4

last time i went with 5 mates this time i'm with my mum.

sounds daft that even thought i'm gonna be doing the same trips i'm really excited about it. i'm sure i've said all this before but i am sooooooo excited

we're gonna get out money changed tomorrow and i've got clothes chucked into my case just need to do the basics and charge my camera


i checked us in online tonight so all we have to do is got straight to security!!! wooo


The diet has been going better. still not 100% back on track but am following SW principals again!!!! on Wednesday i didn't stop eating all day, i had something on the hour every hour til about 3pm!!! but it was all free food so allowed

next week wanna have more GREEN days. then when we're in Poland it'll be all read.


even after the beer walk i managed to lose ½lb, i just hope its not all caught up with me this week.

i've only got 3.5lbs to get my 10% if i don't blow it at weekend this is potentially in reach. i set a mini goal of 1lb and i'll be gutted if i don't get that!

i re-measure myself yesterday and i haven't lost anymore inches still 42-44.5-49!!! boooo

My dad bought the Wii Active last week and i've tried the 30day programme done it 3x so far but missed the last 2 days!! ops not a great start but its really hard work but not too hard if you know what i mean. defo worth a try. i want the wii walky pedometer thing but its very expensive at the mo, will wait and see if it comes down in price.


well big bro is back and i can say although i watched the opening show and i wached the 1st eviction and tonights eviction i really don't know whats going on with it. but i love stuff like little brother and big mouth just got it on. i will prob get into it once a few more go

i will say i'm glad that one went she was so irritating!!! when she said she wasn't bothered if she was up n if she stayed she'd know the public lover her!!! moron!!! (BTW thats my word of the week!!!)

Whit Friday 2009

well its Whit Friday again!!! can you beleive it cos i really can't. I went down to meet some friends at the Band Contest. What a wet and miserable night, i nearly didn't bother but as they'd waited for me thought i should, got soaked and froze on my way down and we didn't stay long. i met them in the cafe didn't have anything (i had had my tea!) the we went to a pub for a wee, and didn't buy a drink. but we did call in the Choc Box for some sweets for tomorrow and i got some peanut butter M&Ms!!!!

This shop is fab like an old fashioned sweetshop on one side, then has "penny sweets" (from 5p up!) then hand made truffles, imported america candy and some other lovely bits. if only i wasn't on a diet i'd be in more often!!!

I still can't get over losing weight last week, have a feeling it'll all fall apart tomorrow with the Beer walk, and the weather forecast is appalling. not sure what coat i've got to wear, i can't really get away with one but at the same time will really need one. gonna take a brolly.


i had planned to wear my pumps tomorrow but they will be hopeless in the rain. was gonna wear my roxy boots but now i've dug them out i've realised they are suede! other options are my white sketchers and some old green trainers but they will all get ruined plus i think there will be lots of ankle shots due to the shakles and ball and chain i'll be wearing!!!! thinking old green trainers and hope that the mud isn't too deep!!!!


Oh in case you are wondering what we are doing tomorrow. it the Saddleworth Beer walk

I really need a hair cut. i don't really wanna lose much length but it needs a good trim. i should book in somewhere but cos i want it long am reluctant to have it cut, but you know when it just kinda goes and you have to have it cut there and then. i might try and book in for the 18th June which is just before i go away if not then before sarahs wedding, but i'm thinking before polando!!!

still in love

At SW class this week for every 1lb people lost they had to write there full names on the back of a strawberry. then put it in the strawberry tin!!! confused?! i was especially when i took over wi and had to get people to do it but didn't have a clue why!!! But helen (the consultant) explained that for the whole of june we're gonna do this then the last monday we're gonna have a kind of award / lucky dip night with wimbeldom / strawberries and chamagn related prize or something along those lines.

i love my SW class 99% of the people are fab, there a couple of ones i can't get my head round but i think thats cos they don't stay. and i don't see the point of paying £4.50 per week just getting weighed (gaining usually) and going, they are the ones who need the most support,

I also love helen cos she is a normal human bean! she realises everyone has lives, she's realsistic and helpful and not snotty oh look at me i've lost 300million lbs in 2 seconds and i'm a twig (thinking the ww woman at bolton quakers church mibobby from when i was at uni) (14 points was all she was allowed as she was soooooooooooooooooo slim! anyone told her the minimum ww points is 16! doh brain- well that was my reation on meeting her harsh but first impresseions count!)

we also have some fantastic member losses people who have almost always lost withonly minimum gains, since jan and others who joined within the last 2 months that have lost the same as me in total, but instead of being jealous i feel really proud of them, i kn
ow i've been dicking about with it and i love there commitment and can see a real change in them, they really do inspire me.

i also love weighing people, still not good at dealing with the gains or the upset i've only lost 1lb brigade but that will come and i love seeing the losses and how people have changed i also really like the compliments i've got only had a couple on weight loss but a couple of people have said they like me weighing them and my little pep talks when they think they should have done better and i point out how well they've done, just need to listen to my own advice

ok peeps thanks for reading and good night xxxx
