I had a really good week, but a BAD result...

START DATE 5th MAY 2012

05/05/2012 - 25st8  
08/05/2012 - 25st6           lost 2lbs
18/05/2012 - 25st1           lost 5lbs
24/05/2012 - 24st12 1/2   lost 2.5lbs
31/05/2012 - 24st10         lost 2.5lbs
07/06/2012 - 24st6 1/2     lost 3.5lbs
14/06/2012 - 24st3 1/2     lost 3.5lbs I have to say, I make it 3lbs but who am I to argue.
21/06/2012 - 23st13 1/2   lost 3.5lbs I make it 4lbs,but it sorts out the problem from last week
28/06/2012 - 23st10 1/2   lost 3lbs
05/07/2012 - 23st8          lost 2.5lbs
12/07/2012 - 23st4          lost 4lbs
19/07/2012 - 23st2          lost 2lbs


                            total   34lbs 

I was so so disappointed with this. I'd barely eaten during the week, and done lots of exercise so I felt I deserved more. The trouble is, that something got into my head and told me not to bother in future. So I didn't. I have eaten so much in the past week that I'm really dreading Thursday and I shudder to think how much weight I can put on during our holiday. I'm really gutted and down in the dumps.

Slimmer of the week 6

I lost 4lbs at my weigh in last night and I'm delighted! If I lose 2.5lbs for the next two weeks I will get to my target of 22 stone something by my holiday: and 3 more pounds and I get to a 2.5 stone loss!! 4lbs and I've lost 10% of my bodyweight!!!! Hopefully I'll reach all those targets in the next 2 weeks.

Targets

I thought I could make a calendar to add targets if and when I think of them. They are just targets to aim for and the world won't end if I don't make it my the date I've set but I just thought it would help if I had things written down.


27th July - To get my 2 Stone award by today
27th July - To be 22st13.5 There's no way I can do this now but I want to get as near as I can
9th August - To weigh the same or less than I did on the 27th July. I miss a weeks weigh in because of our holiday so I really don't want to put weight on.
1st September - To be able to wear that size 28 skirt comfortably
9th September - To be able to walk to Morrisons and back
30th September - To need new bras
20th December - To weight 20st5.5 This is because I entered a 26 week challenge on minimins.com to lose 50lbs by Christmas


As time goes on and I think of more I'll update the list, and I'll also add if I hit the target or how close I came.

Clothes sizes

I've been moaning lately about how I've lost two stone but don't fit into clothes a size smaller. I came to the conclusion that the bigger you are, the more weight it takes to drop a dress size, which I do believe, but I realised today, that the skirt I wear most often, I also have the identical skirt, one size smaller, still in the bag. As my original skirt is huge on me, I felt confident this one would fit, but I can't even squeeze into it, and the zip is nowhere near fastening. Incredibly it is 7 inches (18 cm) smaller in the waist! According to the Evans website (where the skirts came from) the difference in the sizes should only be one inch! I have another new skirt from there, two sizes smaller than the one thats too small and the difference in the waist is less than one inch. Its incredibly annoying as there are hardly any high street shops that cater for plus sized women,so we rely on mail order. I understand sizes vary from shop to shop, but to have such huge discrepancies within a store is ridiculous. I can't wait until I can buy clothes from a wide variety of shops.

Slimmer of the week 5

I forgot to update this on Thursday. Amazingly (especially as I didn't lose much) I was Slimmer of the week again!!

I have finally reached my 2 stone loss!!!!


I don't think there is any way possible that I can get to 22st11.5 in the next three weeks now, although I'll keep on trying. As you can see from my stats my weight loss has been falling a bit every week, as I expected.
In the long run it doesn't matter. I had 205lbs to lose when I started this diet two months ago and now I have 177. I'm so pleased with that.
