First week of sponsored slim so far

hay everyone, well im coming to the end of my first week on the sponsored slim and i think im doing quite well. I did weigh myself tho on friday and i had put 1lb on but i think its something to do with me eating the same foods over and over. They do say you need to vary what you eat and thats why this week i will be trying three different recipes:
-Microwave meatloaf
-Pasta and herby sausage balls
-Garlic chicken with couscous

I had the garlic chicken tonight and it was really nice, portions seemed a little small but its filling so that makes up for it.
Well i think varying my diet should help my weight loss, and i am tryng to loss 6lbs in my sponsored slim. i will be happy with any weight loss tho.
Im so proud of myself tho (smug i know) but other times i have dieted i would loss a stone and just give up. This time round i am almost at my 2 stone lossed mark and i am determined to keep going and get to my target weight. It helps that other people in my family are also on th SS diet and i have a supportive boyfriend who eats everything i make. I also conned him into getting him to pay for a haircut when i do reach my 2 stone mark :) there for im getting a treat for it that isnt food based.
I also have a little puppy now so when hes a little older i can take him for walks. They wont be long walks as hes a Newfoundland and at most they only need 30-40 mins walk a day when they get to about 9 months. Everything will help tho and playing with him and keeping him out of trouble helps alot.
well my weigh day is tuesday morning so hopefully i can change my ticker and have it move to the right :)

start of the sponsored slim

hay everyone, well today i am starting the sponsored slim. i managed to loss 1lb this week, not bad considering i was a little bit naughty in the week. But i have lossed a total of 22lbs and im so proud of myself. My mum and i will be going to the Scottish Slimmers meal in March, so if i work hard i could lose another stone by then, but i will just see how it goes. Will be nice going there as well as the next day is Mothers Day.
Hopefully i wont find the next two weeks to hard. Would be great if i could lose 5lbs as that will take me to my half way point and i would have lossed a total of 2 stone!!
i will keep you informed through the next 2 weeks and let you know how im getting on :)

2nd week back

hello everyone
well so far iv been back on the diet 2 weeks and i have lossed 5lbs, great start to the year. Another 2lbs and iv lossed 2 stone altogether and when i loss another 8lbs thats my half way point, feel great to have got so far already. I have said to my boyfriend that when i reach my half way point id like to go to the hairdressers and have a nice day out with him. i have to wait and see if that happens but at least its something to aim for.
well i will have something to keep me busy soon as i should be starting a foundation course in funeral directing. The final exam is in June and i will have a lot of coursework and reports to do. But at least its a step in the right direction for what i want to do and keep me busy.
i have also been looking or some new recipes so if anyone has any please let me know. i have found a good site, i believe its called 3 fat chicks. i will put a link on here. the only had thing is that all the recipes are American. How do i know what measurements to do if i want to make them in small quantities? theres some nice looking cookie recipes but i don't want to make 50 of them.
well, good luck everyone with your own weight losses

first week of 2008

hi everyone! well i have had my first week back on the SS diet and i have lossed 3lbs :) great start to the year i think. I just hope that i can keep it up, of course i have to keep going now as i have my slimming fundraising to do, the last one ending just after Easter. so at least no chocolate eggs for me unless i save my checks. 4 more pounds and i will be at my next half a stone. im going to try and plan to do something nice and special for myself for when i loss my second stone because that will be roughly my half way point. Have to keep my motivation going.
please let me know how you are getting on if you are on a diet as well.

still the same

Well after Christmas i am now 12 stone 7, not bad i guess. it means i put on about 5 or 6 pounds over the holiday time. right, i have no more chocolate in the house so back on the diet. i wanted to still have lossed a stone but now with the weight gain i am 2 pounds under this.
im still going to aim for my half way point so i now have 13 pounds to get to it. i think this would really boost my confidence if i got to this point. thats what i need.
well at least i now have a job, its only part time but at least its bringing money in and gets me out the house. Still gonna keep looking for full time work and hope something comes along soon.
i know i only seem to complain about how i want to loss weight and seem to be gradually putting it on but it helps lol
i'll get there, we all will.

off the diet

hay everyone been having a hard time sticking to the diet the last 2-3 weeks. i haven't been really stupid and just stuffing my face but i have put on 3 pounds. i know its going to be hard over the Christmas period but i have to keep at it.
I have still lossed a total of 15 pounds so at least i ha vent put all that weight back on. i knew i wasn't going to stick to the diet but i didn't want to destroy all of that hard work. if i was going to put on weight then i only wanted it to be a few pounds.
right now i have to get back on track!! 10 more pounds and i am at my half way point. i think my next target will be that i lose 10 pounds and reach that point by the end of January. That will give me a good kick start to the year and hopefully i will still be on track to be target weight by my birthday (may).
Keep going everyone, we can all do it x

very ill

hi everyone well iv had a bad time recently...i didnt get the job i wanted, with the worry i pigged out and had lots of wine and in a week had 2 takeaways so had a sneaky look at the scales on Sunday and id put on 3lbs. after that i got very ill, was either a bug or food poisoning...not nice! im still not all better, finding it hard to eat properly but im getting there. i guess the good thing to come from it is that i losed the 3lbs and another 2 :) but now getting back on track with the diet. i am now 1lb from going down to eating 40 checks a day instead of 45. when i get to that it means i have just over 2 stone to go. i'll get there tho :) very determined this time, got things to look forward to like a wedding and fancy dress party. and it would be great to have the confidence to wear what i want when my boyfriend and i can afford to go on holiday, no matter where we go.
well im going to keep looking for a job, anything that could count as experience to help with the job i really want. keep fingers crossed, hopefully i will have a job by next week or something.
