and had 3 slices of small brown bread.
not the end of the world and its covered with syns and HxB but was being so good.
i made a chicken curry for tea that was a bit of a disater, it tasted nice but not of curry!!! was more like chicken chassure!!! shame i still enjoyed it then we had cake (1.5syns) then an ice lolly (2.5syns) then a butty.... was brill till tea time then i went off the scale saying that i've only had 13.5syns
had acouple of people say they could tell i'd lost weight, i guess people had kinda given up on me just as i had myself i'd been stalling for so long.
i've had to get some new pants today. its still strange cos i'm still wearing the same clothes that i was in the begging but most of the pants are getting too big but the stuff i've got on the same sizes still don't fit. i'm not losing inches off the places clothes fit!!! i'm sure soon enough things will change!!!

Day 25 ~ blahhhhhhhhhhhh
i may decide ot think of a better title later
foods gone weill today again, feel so much better being in control. not happy at working tomorrow after all the shit thats going on at work, we've now been told we are the only department to have to sign new contracts, we've yet to see them, there are rumours about possible voluntary redundancy, i know a few people that would jump at these if they were the right package but at the mo its only rumour.
i do feel bad for the people at rayleigh esp as it now emerges that the 1st they knew about it was reasing it in the paper. i have a quick look at the comments and at 1.50pm there were 91 comments only had a chance to read a couple, i'm sure there will be many more rumours in the comming weeks.
the head hincho is coming in for a 30 min meeting with people on monday, no idea how many people will get to meet him, we're gonna get some questions together incase anyone gets a chnace to ask anything. and on monday the union meets with the company to ask question then again on wednesday to get some answers. it needs to be looked at, they seems to have devided the work up on bums on seats rather than experience and expertise, out centre has a lot of long serving memebers of staff and becasuse we have a lot of experts and all this is going to go and we will all be general enquires. well we shall see, only time will tell as they say.
Then for me the final nail in the coffin was we gont an email today saying its almost valentines day so we are gonna have some V'day fun (they didn't use the term v'day but i can't bring myself to use that blasted word a second time!!!)
Fun i've said quite louly that the only fun thing that day will be watching me hurl myself off the roof without the aid of a saftly net!!!!
I hate the day though we would escape it because its on a sunday but NO!!!! fun fucking fun my arse!!!!!
OK rant over yes i am single can you tell!!!
Food wise again started late didn't eat til 11am but think its gone better. no b choice today but i haven't needed on. Still no bread!!! almost gave in as i made my dads butties and you know that little but of crustthat the bread sliceing machines always creat well that made it near my mouth before i realised what i was doing!!!!
Tomorrow i will be having bread becasue we are having fish and chips from the EE cook book, it was very nice last time we had it and i can count the bread as a HxB. its 4 peiced of bread between 4 peices of fish, so not too bad (thats for the whole recipe)
Todays food.

Made tuna pasta salad again for my dinner tomorrow, i had bought one of the tesco ready meals but i think ready meals can be ok but sometimes make you feel hungrier!!!
Another thing that doesn't help me is having my breaks and dinner at differnt times every day, i alwys used to ahve my lunch at 12.30pm but today it was schedualed for 13.15 and i ended up eating my dinner at my desk! luckily it kept me full till later and i felt ok snacking on fruit. i'd even taken special k mini breaks which i'm glad i didn't eat in the morning cos i had the bicci offered to me by tracy and then after tea i shared a kitkat with my mum.

Day 23 ~ sans pain / bez chleba / sin pan / heb bara / mingħajr ħobż / без хлеба
well its day 2 without bread!!!!! and i must say i feel really good for it!I know bread can form part of a healthy balance diet but sadly i can not do bread in moderation, i have one slice and i crave 7 more, on its own as toast with cheese, oooo with cheese on it and grilled!!!! mmmmm but i have survived. last night before bed i thought i was gonna crack so i got a yogurt out of the fridge left it on the side 20 mins later i found out and wondered why it was there, so it just shows i didn't need the bread or the yogurt.
i've also propely written down my food for yesterday and today. i haven't been an angel today as i had some min brownies that si brought in for his birthday. but it could have been worse as there were donuts as well!!!!
loving celeb BB, not seen that much of it, but got it on now and lovin Dane with the tree of temptation!!! they need that in the main summer show!!!!!
once again the eating only started at about 11 am but i've picked all day.
it doesn't help that wednesday is my late night and today i've done a 9am -8pm shift as i had to make an hour back from before xmas.
i had a break at 11.30am and then my tea was meant to be 3pm but cos of our scrum it got moved til 4pm which is a bloody long gap. in that time i managed to eat 90% of the food i took. then as soon as i came back off my dinner at 4.45pm my phone had been switched to telephony cover so i didn't really stop til 8pm (well apart from my break at 6pm and the 101 loo breaks i had to take!)
Breakfast 11am
Pear
Banana
Lunch 12.30pm
cottage cheese

i don't think its too bad, i know the late snacks seem a bit random but as i was looking so see what we had in the fridge i though oh i've not had an A choice so had a peice of cheese while i decided, then spotted the jelly, then after the jelly i remebered we had fresh cherrys and blueberries and decided to have some!!! could have been far worse!!!!
lets hope it can continue!!!!!

Day 22 ~ mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Well yesterday the line was drawn and today has been really good!
although there was no breakfast i'm not gonna let that worry me.
it was our day off today and we got up quite late and decided to go to Elk Mill to Asda Living, next and Boots.
i didn't get anything other than shampoo oooo the excitement!!!
then it was off to Tesco to get some more healthy food. Everytime we go to tesco we see people from SW class, and today was no differnt. when ever you bump into people you are always concious that you have good healthy shop!! luckily we hadn't been bad and chatting to Christine who we'd bumped into she mentioned she was gonna make leek and potato soup and we've copied her. got a lovely big pan of the lovely stuff on the Hob!!! and even better cos its all free!!!! mmmmm
At Tesco we found these snack pot with all the light choice ready meals £1.20 at the mo but will be £1.50. they had a few differnt ones.
the ones we got were
Chill Prawn Noodles - 1.5syns on Gree / EE (4 WW points )
and
Bologneses pasta - 5.5syns on ? and EE (6 WW points)
They are 300gs each so not very small and the one i had (the prawn one) was really tasty!
I've also not had any bread today. i'm itching for some but i'm not giving in.
we have also done a bit of planning as tomorrow lunch will be the soup and tomorrows tea is all ready to go in the oven (brown meat stew or beef casserole if your feeling posh)
I tend to eat more in the evenings and think i need to find some distractions not sure what i can do to change this.
but i find as soon as i start eating i wanna carry on. with being out and about today i didn't consume anything other than a bottle of water til 3.30pm and i felt a but hungry but not too bad but since then i just wanna eat and eat.

Day 21~ little pickers wear big knickers!
Opsy, i had a gain ½lb.
I've also realised there is only one more WI in Jan!!! how quick can a year go!!!!!
i knew i had gained i felt heavy all day, and i'm so glad i took my denim skirt off before i got on the scales! (Don't worry i had leggins and a long shirt on!)
I think i'm gonna try a week without bread, as i ate way too much last week. i know that i was bad because i didn't blog much at all and i didn't write anything down!
BUT i'm not beating myself up about it i know where i went wrong and i know what to do to put myself back on track.
Here is my Line
__________________________________________
Its drawn and last week is over!
I feel bad for my mum as she's had a gain again, i think it much be so hard being close to target and yo-yoing, there must be something going wrong somewhere and she was really good last week, she's not a snacker (unlike someone i could mention!)
think a week of planning is in order.
This is week 5 in my work calender and it means that i get the joy of working on Saturday Yay me!!! Its always the worst time in my working cycle, it means i wanna pick cos if i've got food in my mouth i can't talk to customers (i know that sounds really bad and i honestly don't mind call centre cover but 9.25hours is too much, couldn't do it all the time)
at work i've been given some really simple yet increadibly boring work, it doesn't help that we all have limited system access we can all do the jobs but it might take 3 of us to change bits of accounts to make it bill. i know we all can't have everything and sometimes i'm glas i don't have access to everything but i hate mythering people to do stuff for me, but i shouldn't really as i use my access for them. (sorry mindly work babble i'll shut up now!)
I'm not too bother really, because i know in my heart of hearts its my own fault. I ate too much, i didn't excercise and at the end of the day its only half a pound
Its this much Chocolate. I am going to try really hard.I've also realised there is only one more WI in Jan!!! how quick can a year go!!!!!

__________________________________________
Its drawn and last week is over!
I feel bad for my mum as she's had a gain again, i think it much be so hard being close to target and yo-yoing, there must be something going wrong somewhere and she was really good last week, she's not a snacker (unlike someone i could mention!)
think a week of planning is in order.
This is week 5 in my work calender and it means that i get the joy of working on Saturday Yay me!!! Its always the worst time in my working cycle, it means i wanna pick cos if i've got food in my mouth i can't talk to customers (i know that sounds really bad and i honestly don't mind call centre cover but 9.25hours is too much, couldn't do it all the time)
at work i've been given some really simple yet increadibly boring work, it doesn't help that we all have limited system access we can all do the jobs but it might take 3 of us to change bits of accounts to make it bill. i know we all can't have everything and sometimes i'm glas i don't have access to everything but i hate mythering people to do stuff for me, but i shouldn't really as i use my access for them. (sorry mindly work babble i'll shut up now!)
This is an awful photo of me but never the less it is one i look on friday, i used it for the A-Z project but thought i'd best post a photo of me on here!!!
Tomorrow is a new day and it will be a good one

Day 16 ~ on a magic carpet ride
feeling good today, apart from the aches from yesterdays fall!!!
haven't had the most spectacular week food wise but don't feel like i will have done too much damage. gonna have a sneeky peek in the morning.
i still need to take the 3 pics to begin my year with. tomorrow tomorrow is only a day away!!!
i was talking to some one on facebook about that Generation XXL that was on the other night, i didn't watch it but she said a couple of the kids had higher BMIs than she did and one of the kids had one only 0.2 away from mine and mine is enormous for an adult (39.8) , i think its so sad and people blame the parents and yes i agree to some extent but its blame also needs to lie in the media advertising and society at large. who lets kids play out to the same extent i did when i was little i played out less than my mum and dad and in turn them less than their parents. the rise of the generation X Box. ready meals, fast food avaliable far cheaper than fresh fruit and veg. the credit crunch and many other things so don't blame the kids, the parents a bit but the whole world needs to take some responsibility and until things in genral change we can't expect a massive change over all.
i was a chubby kid i remeber i weighed about 10st when i was 11 years old!!! thats bad but i was about 5foot tall at the time so one of the taller ones. i remeber being deverstated when i found out but i was 11 and didn't feel under pressure to diet, yes i wanted to weigh less but i remeber not feeling the urge or inclination to do anything it was only when i was about 14 i felt under any real pressure but didn't start to do anthing about it til i was 17 when i joined WW for the 1st time. i lost then stopped and gain, i tried losing weight myself been successful for a but then given up and balloned again. i've never really crashed dieted starved myself, resorted to laxitives, weight loss pills etc etc. will power and proven slimming clubs, but i also need support and by going to a group i can and will do it. for me both SW and WW worked and worked well it was me that let myself fail, by getting lazy and complacent and being a general greedy pig, i let friends sabotage my efforts without batting an eye lid, this time i'm planning to take better control i did well today until 4pm when i have in and had some cake but if the cakes had gone in the cupboard at 3.55pm it wouldn't have bothered me, tracy moved everything at 6pm and from then til 8pm i happily had my fruit!!!

One of the things i will say in favour of SW and i've prob said it before, but i eat better, i feel better, much less conveience food and more fruit!!!

Day 13 - another good one
Day 13 is proving to me that i can do this.
we decided to walk to tescos (about 30mins on a good day) but got to the bus terminus at waterhead and gave up and got a bus to town, i was starving as not had any breakfast but i didn't give in and buy something!!! yay me!!!
then we walked down to sainsburys for a brew and to get some more of lifes essentials bread, mash, lentils, tinned tomatoes you know the things you eat every day (ok so maybe not the lentils!)
when we got home i had some plums and a pork butty (i have to admit it was on a white crusty roll!)
then i've made a giant pan of speed food soup, i confess i don't really like half the ingredients but everyone in class who's had it said its lovely so here's trying!!!
i hope we do like it cos it's make twice as much as i normally would for soup!!!
Free: Green and EE
Not sure about original days
1 Can of mix bean salad
1 Can Green Lentils
2 Cans chopped tomatoes
1 Can baked beans
Handful of split lentils
2 Large leeks

2 Beef stock cubes (I've used chicken as had no beef)

I'm sure it'll be OK, my consultants be talking about it for weeks and Dave was sat behind us this week (he's been away from class for over a month so not seen it before!) said i think i might know why its called speed food soup!! I'm pretty sure it will have some kind of effect lets hope its not too traumatic as taking some for dinner tomorrow!!!!
Days 11 and 12
Day 11
Was my 1st day back in work after being snow bound since monday.
what a scary trip to work, its not so much my mum driving that i was worried about but the other people on the road, so many people were driving like it was warm dry conditions (fools!)
i was also still feeling a bit down in general, found out a lad who was on my team has got engaged, really pleased for him but again made me feel bad for myself (i need to stop doing this, turning everything that happens in the world into stuff about me!!!) i'm pleased for him and wish him all the best.
what else happened on friday errrrr i might have eaten a donut! (ooooooooooooops) i knew exactly what i was doing and yet i still did it, oh well!!! i need my will power back!
Day 12
Today i have been on track top banana. but even though i have eaten within plan i know i've not had enough or well maybe i have but it should have been more evenly spread out.
Having an EE day
Breakfast
Fuller for longer yogurt
Lunch
some cottage cheese
Tea
steak
Jacket potato
roast, pepper, onion, mushrooms, parsnips, tomato
green beans
followed by frozen fruit salad
Supper
SW chip butties with Warbies bread (the official Hx bread)
Biting on
2 slices of official bread with a bit of jam
i had the yogurt about 10ish then noting til 3pm then tea at 6.30pm , supper at 9pm and bititng on at 10.45pm
but i felt starving, i can have it all no need to feel guilty can syn it and it will be within the allowance but why do i allow myself to do it.
Ok on to other things. BUS DRIVERS GRRRRRRR (no offence is intended by this but i do need to vent!)
Because it was snowing this morning and because of all the exsisiting snow we decided to get the bus into town, all go the bus arrived within mins of getting to the bus stop.
that was the only good bit of the trip.
a woman feel at the bus stop near the playground on greenacres road and 2 people (no of which was the bus driver) had to help her to her feet and she must have been in pain.
then at Mumps the driver got off and we were left there for a good 20 mins with the doors open.
new driver arrives and finishes his fag and brew at the bus stop before getting on.
bus driver gets in and leaves the door open, his mate who's sat at the back of the bus gets up and starts to chat to him, 15 mins later we know all about his b'day trip to The Dam, his poker playig habits and that his mates owe him 100s of cigs (lovely!) a bloke at the back shouts "oi mate can you get a move on some of us have places to be" (he wasn't obnoxious with it just saying what we were all thinking)
The bus driver come back with a large number of expletives that would have made Gordon Ramsey Blush - then tells the bloke to "f***ing get off my bus" the bloke stays put, the engine is on and we move 2 foot maybe, driver stops carries on chat then we move another foot and decalires the bus is F**k'd!!! so we all get off and when the bloke who told the driver to move gets off the driver and his mate goade him so the bloke says "come out here and say that" next min the driver and friend and kicking the shit of the bloke, he was last seen under the bus, we were knocking on the door of other bus to try and get them to stop it and the driver just say nowt and drives off doesn't even let us get on his bus to get into the town centre!!! (£8.00 between 2 of us we had paid for this pleasure!) So no more buses at mumps and TBH we don't really fancy waiting there so we walk into town .
an exciting day all round, my fab wellies broke as well, i was only prasing them as the best £14 ever spend when i found the split! scraza fraza grrrrr, tesco didn't have anymore, but i struggle as i've got fat legs and need the half size ones. luckily my mum has some so i'm gonna have to use them, they are a but big but heyho!!!!
i got some bargin pumps from Debenhams sales only £4.50, should have been £15.00 was gonna post a link but they arn't on their website.
I also had a sneaky peek this morning, now i know what you are going to say, and i like to look, i don't actually go but it but when i got up i weighed 17st 9.1lbs. this afternoon it was 17st 9.8lbs then a couple of house ago 17st 11.9lbs, its defo less than i was last week and i've only got tomorrow and monday to get through before wi (i'd be so chuffed it i lost the 2lbs i set myself this week) and it'd get me on with my planned loss for my holiday!!!
18lbs for May, i lost 1.5lbs last week so 16.5lbs to go!!! 17 Wi's to go!!! So so far its just under 1lb a week, but as SW weighs in ½lbs we'll still have to aim for 1lb a week.
1lbs of fat is actually quite bit, i tried googling pretty images of 1lb might look like and i found this. Replica fat model think this is more shocking than something cute

This is the image that crops up a lot as well the lump of fat next to the mug, gross really and i have a hell of a lot of these stil to go!!!
But i will give us a cute 1lb because its quite shocking at what can weigh only 1lb! Its an itsy bits litsy kitsy!!! was only 3.6 oz at birth the length of a sharpie marker pen!!! this pic is 1lb 1oz So cute!! Ok i'm offski now see you later xxx

Day 10 ~ Snow Day III
Its getting beyond a joke now, it is our day off today but becasue we have missed so much of the week already we decided to try and go to work, well as you may have guessed because i'm here typing this we were unsuccessfull, got stuck in a snow bank couldn't even get out of the parking space. next door but one had a big transit van thung and they were in front of us trying to move must have took then 20 mins to break through the snow and then cars were comming up the road and they had to roll back and got stck again must have been another 15 mins before he could set off, we tried to use his tire tracks to get out but cos his van is wider we just got stuck. we gave up.
its only 11 am and i've already played on the Wii fit plus and now my feet are freezing. just been looking through the SW book and there are loads of free food that i have no idea what they are so think i google them

Cashew Fruit - Strang looking things look a bit like peppers to me. The greeny brown things are the Nut, Wikipedia says the "apple" is very sweet and delicate and unsuitable for transport, the Nut is really a seed!

Custard Apple - i have heard of this but didn't know what it looked like or taste like. i like the look of the pink ones but not sure about the other ones

Day 9~ Snow Day II
Its been another snow day for me, not sure what work are gonna do about us making the time back. but they opened and we phoned and spoke to a TM and left our number and expected a call back but nothing Nada not even a missed call so we assume they are ok with it? well we shall see either tomorrow or friday.
tomorrow is our NDO but if the weather isn't too bad we're gonna go in and make some time back.
had an appaling food day today, loads of bread and cheese as well as mini brownies and i'm lied here typing feeling starving!!!
i seem to be on a star week but i need to be good i need a loss on monday.
once again we played on the wii fit plus and my mum discovered a new feature there is a section you can go into and it gives a list of calorific values of food and you can set a calorie goal so after every game / activity you do it say x number of caleries to go.
i set mine as a piece of fried chicken (293ish cals) i did 301 cals in 54 mins and i've defo eaten it back!!!!

Day 8 ~ Snow Day
Boy what a day!!
snow snow go away and please never come back!!!
we didn't go to work today and to be honest i doubt we would have made it there and then back again. They also closed our office today but for some reason i've not had a text luckily we didn't go in and been chatting to people from work and now a girl of my team is forwarding any BCP (Business Contingency Plans) messages over to me.
i wouldn't mind but we have only recently update the BCP and i gave my new mobile number!!!!
thank god for great colleagues!!!
so far we've got approx 2 ft of snow, near work its about 6-8 inches. there have been pics of snow ploughs up and around Horwich but we've seen no gritters let alone snow ploughs!!!
i've been out up my steps to take a couple of pics but was only out 5 mins as so cold and in places the snow was deeper than my wellies!!!!
the pictures don't really do it justice, i've felt sick to my stomach allday that we were gonna be made to go into work.
tomorrow we are gonna see what its like and then ring the handy free phone number to see if work is open.
today we have been watching what traffic has been down my road and seen as my street is just off a main road and a bus route and connets one half of myside of oldham to the other, there has been very little traffic only really 4x4's and they have been down the centre of the road and they were slipping about, i think there must be black ice under the snow on there as it started snowing hard about 7ish lasy night and was freeezing over night. my mums just opened the front door to check the snow at the front and has let in a
whooooosh of icy cold air!!! brrrrrrrrr
And now about 4 hours after i wrote this i'm back got distracted by the Red Dahlia, i'm loving it, i'm 90% sure i've read the book but i have read one recently with the same charactures.
My mum makes me laugh as we have a Red Dahlia in a varse next to the TV and when it went off she went oh and nudged her head towards the TV, bless her!!! hahah
Now for some pictures of the snow:
Ok this is a WL blog so here goes yay a relatively good day to say i have been stuck at home because and because we have food at home, lovely food and apart from some bread rolls with Tea i stuck to an EE day but to say i could have had so much more!!!!!
For the last few days i've been playing on the wii fit plus and i love it, i'm aching, but its a good achy and i burned about 300 cals today.
Feel like i can stay on track this time.
well i'd best get some sleep need to be up at 6am to call the BCP line at work so far it says all sites are open tomorrow but depending on the over night conditions they will update at 6am ISH!!!

Day 7 ~Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
I did it!!! i lost 1.5lbs!!!! i'm back to 18stones!!! now i know this is still an horrendously large weight but its 2 stone lighter than this time last year and i know it sounds daft but because its a nice round figure and if i lose even half a pound next week i'll be in the next stone down!!!
Including today its 6 weeks til valentines day so between now and then i'd like to lose 7lbs! the wi before valentines is on 8/2.
then its 7 weeks til easter
i'd like to lost another 7lbs by then
then its 5 weeks to my birthday and i'd like to lose another 7lbs by then.
this would take me to 21lbs by then,
but this is what i'd like i am realistic enought to be happy with 1lb per week so 18lbs lost for 2010 by the wi on 03/05/10.
my next 10% target is 25lbs and i'd like do do this by july.
i'm not looking any further ahead than this.
i'm still confused as how to best record this years wl. i wanna do a combination of this year as a single entity but still include last years results .
On the side bar i've done it like this
04/01/10 Week 1 ~ 18st 0lbs, -1 ½lbs this week = 1.½lbs 2010 = 28lbs total lost

i might change this, i might drop the weight as i didn't have this on last years.
sorry i'm baballing.
I also got a new new members pack tonight which i think helps with the new beggining, i've not read it yet but looks much better than the one i have as it included the EE plan and has a column for ee syns as well as the Green and Original days because it know they say always take the lowest syn value but IMO its not always right and you can see this from looking at the Syns pages in the magazine some items can be 10 syns Green 15 syns Orginal and 2 Syns EE. because it has both red and green foods in it and they cancel each other out if that makes sense!!!
so good luck to everyone who weighs in this week and this will be our year!!!!

Day 6~ 1 day til wi!
i'm feeling nervous and excited for my 1st wi of the new year.
Tomorrow marks my 12 months anniversry of doing SW. and a giant step for me the longest time i've ever been a paying member of a slimming club. the most successful.
i really want to have lost 1.5lbs tomorrow but you know when you know you have been good but think you still might muck it up!!!
i've been trying to weigh up how i'm going to measure my weight losses this year weather to take this wi as week zero as it was last year (because you can't lose on your 1st week) but i've decided to take this week as week one take the loss and use this mondays weight to work out the next 10% i want to lose. (hope that makes sense)
i've also been weight up how long it is til certain events:
6 weeks til the day that shall only be called a hallmark day happens every feb makes single people sad
then about 6 weeks after that its easter
its roughly 18 weeks til my birthday.
well thats all i've really looked into yet but still that takes us to May. it'll soon come round!!!!
so like last year i am not going to beat myself up if i only have small losses!!! a loss is 1 million times better than a gain even if its only ½lb!!!!
i would ideally like to lost between 1-2lbs a week but i am not a saint i have a life to live so when things come up and i have a bad week, i am going to accept this and if i gain look at why if i can honestly say i have been good and gained i will be a lier!!!

Blimy another blog post!!!! Day 5
well another post, don't get used to this people, think its just cos i'm off work seem to find time to so this rather than other more useful things. like tidying and ironing!!!!
well its not been a bad day really slighty too much strudel for my own good but everything else has been free or Hx.
had a green day today started the day with some grapes and an actvia fat free yogurt, some home made leek and potato soup, home made quron cottage pie, fruit salad , bread, cheese and some struddel!!!! went over my syns but only cos aldi make the most delish struddel and i couldn't resist seconds!!!!!!!!
so here are the 1st and last pictures taken of me in 2009. 10/01/09 and 31/12/09. I don't feel like i've changed that much but i guess even i have to admit the pictures tell a differnt tale

Days 3 and 4 ~ Happy New Year!!!!!
New Years eve was going so well diet wise until i decided to go out, and the plan was to go to Rachels then go home but we didn't we went to Milan then Legends and then to a party at Maireads cousins (luckily for me it was only round the corner from me!) god knows how much i drank, i remeber saying i was going and people trying to phone me a taxi but there was no point so jackie in her 4 inch heels tried to walk me home but i made her go back i remeber getting to the top of the road and then i woke up fully clothes in bed with my headset from work under my head my work handset under my back, my handbag and hat behind me couldn't find my coat but that was in a heap at the bottom of the bed! SO all in all it was a good NYE and after all my moaning and groaing about it.
I measured yesterday
41-44-48
so that is a loss of
2.5inches
4 inches
5 inches
so thats not too bad,
i'm not making any resolutions this year, i'm going to do this A to Z thing
and i'm going to use it to learn some new things, but i'll put that on the other blog x

there doesn't seem to be a lot of free free food but i did kind have a lot of carrots i cut loads up to snack on at work as i'm a grazer!
i'm not convinced about the corn beef being 2 syns need to weigh it next time we have some so might be less (wooo)
Will Power worked again and he was sat looking at me all day and i didn't cheat even though i really wanted some crisps , i knew i wasn't hungry but u know whe you just want something.
think if i have a problem day it'll be tomorrow am i in control to get through it?
i'm still not sure what i'm doing Jackie phoned me to invite me to go to Rachels for NYE. they don't know if they are staying in or going out. i'm not very tempted cos i'd kind prefer to spend it with sarah and Nat and jackie as i don't really know jackies friends other than a few drunken meetings in Tokes.
but i don't think they know what they are doing i should have asked jac's if she'd asked them.well i'm sure i'll find out tomorrow.
i hate NY, hate hate hate it. i've never had a good NYE so i guess i set meyself up to expect it to be awful and to be fair to it, it normally lives up to my imagined horror!!!
in someways i wanna go out as its kinda expected and i shouldn't be negative and its nice to bring the NY in with friends.
but in other ways i should stay home keep my misery to myself, in a way i feel like i'm damed if i do damed if i don't!!!
cos if i don't people think i'm being boring and keep nagging (ok so no one so far but there is time yet) and i do i'm not happy so i feel like i'm letting people down my struggling to enjoy myself!
ah well watch this space!!!!
good luck for everyone getting back on the waggon!!!!

Year in review
All though it hasn't felt like it at times this has been my most successfull wl year to date.
Ok so my wl stalled in July and has yoyo'd ever since, i have not stopped going to class even though i know i haven't stuck to it!
the thing is i feel it works, i feel a hell of a lot better than i did this time last year!!!
so far this year i've lost 26.5lbs!!!! it was more granted but i've lost it and i know that after yesterdays wi i can get back on track, i feel no sense that i am going to blow it this week.
i resisted advent calendar chocolate, i avoided the left over roses and quality street and i avoided that one last ferror rocher!!!
At class on monday i gain (oh no not again!!!) but it was only half a pound and in my eyes thats not enough to get up set about for crying out loud it was christmas!!!! and belive me it derseved to be a lot more!!!
in class a couple of weeks ago Helen (my consultant) introduced a new member . \Will Power, you may laugh we all did!!! but |Debbie took him home and even though she had a big weekend she still either lost or maintained. i kinda wanted him over xmas but helen had him, so i have the pleasure of his company this week!!!!
She wants to set a bored up to record his travels i thought i would obigge and take some photos of him!!!!
1) he came to work with me and kept me on the straight and narrow
2) he looked through some recipe books and decided on some yummy sw friendly foods to cook ( i think he's a secret veggies as he likes all the veggie recipes best!!!)
3) he wants to be a russian doll in his next life, he has the right colouring and by this time next year he wants to fit inside the middle one!!!
4) my mother is trying to corrupt the bear she may only be 5lbs or so from target but she wants to get there before the bear does!!!!
there can't be many syns in those tiny tiny packets!!!!
I wanted to re-measure myself and take some last photos as my promise to take them once a month didn't last very long!!!!
i will do this my thursday. i'm also gonna pick up my sw scrap book!!!! start of the year fresh chapter!!!!
xxxsjxxx

At class on monday i gain (oh no not again!!!) but it was only half a pound and in my eyes thats not enough to get up set about for crying out loud it was christmas!!!! and belive me it derseved to be a lot more!!!
in class a couple of weeks ago Helen (my consultant) introduced a new member . \Will Power, you may laugh we all did!!! but |Debbie took him home and even though she had a big weekend she still either lost or maintained. i kinda wanted him over xmas but helen had him, so i have the pleasure of his company this week!!!!
She wants to set a bored up to record his travels i thought i would obigge and take some photos of him!!!!
1) he came to work with me and kept me on the straight and narrow
2) he looked through some recipe books and decided on some yummy sw friendly foods to cook ( i think he's a secret veggies as he likes all the veggie recipes best!!!)
3) he wants to be a russian doll in his next life, he has the right colouring and by this time next year he wants to fit inside the middle one!!!
4) my mother is trying to corrupt the bear she may only be 5lbs or so from target but she wants to get there before the bear does!!!!
there can't be many syns in those tiny tiny packets!!!!
I wanted to re-measure myself and take some last photos as my promise to take them once a month didn't last very long!!!!
i will do this my thursday. i'm also gonna pick up my sw scrap book!!!! start of the year fresh chapter!!!!

Merry Christmas 2009
Well Christmas 2009 is almost over. and its been a nice day the only problem i've had is some bloody carry on film. i know xmas tv isn't brill but who ever gave Ivan the bloody tv remote needs shooting!!!!!
Presents well got more than expected as i had my camera back in October but my mum got me some unwrappables.
a Soap and Glory hat box full of goodies and they are lovely
Tights tightes and more tights!
a dress
2 lots of bracelets
bath stuff
make up
a ring
Pjs
a hot water bottle
and i'm sure there was more!!!!
we had to walk to mars cos the roads are still icy and snow on the pavements. it was hard work but the buffett was god.
and it wasn't overly un healthy really the only had stuff was filo prawns spring rolls and toads in holes! i only had 2 bits of bread and loads of salad and cooked meat!!! only had 2 alcholic drinks then struck to diet pop in them and that on its own.
i have had a couple of bad little cakes and three ferro rocher before breakfast and a 3rd of a gian tube of smarites ops.
BUT ITS CHristmas !!!!! This was my street yesterday!!!!!! its not changed much over night just a bit more dangerous as its turned to packed ICE!!!!!!
Roll on Monday when i can re-start my diet, i know i should be starting from now but, just going to go with the flow over the weekend!!!!

long time no blog (yet again)
Merry Christmas Eve!!!
blimey the months have rolled round fast this year. I can not beleive it was October that i last posted!!!!
well on holiday i gained 1lb!!!! not bad and since then i have lost a couple and gained a couple so i am still where i was when i came back from holiday.
i've said i want to lose over christmas week but not sure if that is realistic so just gonna go with the flow.
and next year is a fresh start. if i can lose another 27lbs next year (my loss to date!)i'll be happy.
We've took about 300 SW leaflets to deliver on Boxing day to the neighbouring streets, easier said than done with all the snow and ice we've still got on the ground!!!
i'll have to post pics later as i'm on pc and not the lap top.
i've got 2 holidays booked for next year already so want to lose about a stone before i go on the 1st one. (19 wi's to go!)
feel more positive than i have before but i keep eating the wrong things.
in the NY SW is changing its main plan to EE, which i've never fully got my head round so i think i'll buy they new new members pack so i can get the updated books and stuff. new year new start.
on the positives for this year even though my wl has stalled i have never stopped going to class, i feel supported and i once again feel motivated.
SW is a good plan and i know if i follow it i can lose a good amount and keep it off.
my mum is 5lbs away from target and she has done so well, i hope in the next year i can get back on track.
i still have a long way to go.
i hope that over the next 2 wi's i'll get back to 2st lost (that was my 10%) and then i can aim for my next 10%. which will be 25lbs loss!
