Thread: November 2013 Bride to be....

Hello everyone,
I have spent the last three weeks dipping in and out of these forums searching for inspiration and motivation and finally decided to join today to tell my story and journey that the next twelve months will bring.
I'm due to get married next November and desperately want to be at my best so I can look back on photos and not regret how I look.
So I joined slimming world at the beginning of November and haven't looked back since. Been on the plan for two week so far and have lost 9.5lbs and due to get weighed again this Wednesday.
So far it's been a very positive experience but at the moment I can't help feeling that my goal of 12 stone is out of reach I have never ever been below 14stone.

Anyway that's my brief story and I hope to share my highs and lows with you all and fingers crossed I can be a slim bride in 2013..... 49 weeks to go!!!!

It's been a weird few days for me I lost my motivation all day on Thursday and plus the miserable weather made me feel low anyway. If that wasn't bad enough I'm now worrying I won't lose anything next week because it's going to be that time of the month for me.
I'm also beginning to completely over think what I'm eating.
Today for example I have had

Two weetabix with hot water and 1tsp honey HEXB
A banana

Mushrooms and onions with beans and eggs and one slimming world cheese scone
One Greek style muller light
An apple

Low fat ham with potatoes cabbage carrots and swede
One Greek style mullet light

A glass of milk HEXA

Throughout the day a few slimming world home made jelly sweets

I just feel like I have eaten too much!!!!!!

Still plodding along and last week got my stone award and it makes me feel I will get to my target before my target date! been having a good week this week as its a soup week and made a ton of homemade beet root and tomato soups.
I can't wait to get the Christmas period over with so I can crack on with my wedding planning

I just wanted to update my diary really. I feel as if I have been having a good week although not been to the gym as much as previous weeks because I've been Christmas shopping!!! anyway I said to myself I would treat myself to my favourite gingerbread latte.....but when it came to the crunch I couldn't bring myself to do it. black coffee all the way!
I have been thinking in my head if I am able to consistently loose two pounds a week I could get to my target by June a whole five months before my wedding date but I still can't imagine myself that way as I'm having a mental image crisis.
I really need to start writing down my food diary again as I completely missed out my HEXA last night and before now I have missed my HEXB. Unintentionally but I must plan more!

I really should post a bit more! slimming world has been going really well so far and I'm only half a pound off my one and a half stone award. I'm confident I will get it by next week though. Wedding plans have come to a halt over the Christmas period to start up again in January. Christmas will definately not be stopping my weight loss no matter what I'm determined to e slim!!!

Feeling pretty low at the moment I always do over Christmas and it makes me want to comfort eat. Have to keep myself busy. Already sorted through my wardrobe today and then later I have to take my dad to hospital. Going armed with beetroot soup.
Weigh in is tomorrow and I'm really hoping to get to ten percent loss.

So far this week I have been really good on the slimming world plan. Made a scan bran Christmas cake....tried to eat a scan bran but failed half way through. It's pure evil. will only be buying it in the future to make cakes with!!! lol
the point of this diary entry is to remind myself scan bran is nasty

Christmas week done now have a lot of chocolate to eat but instead of getting rid of it I will be eating it just very very slowly by staying within my sun allowance daily. it should last well into the summer months. I did stick to plan over Christmas generally and managed to lose a pound. It's not exactly the amount I'm used to losing BUT I'm not going to beat myself up because I haven't had access to my gym, it's my TTOM and I have indulged slightly. Roll on 2013.

Went shopping today in the sales and came back with size 12/14 clothes that actually fit!!!! I can't believe it but I didn't want to buy too much as the weight loss continues.....fingers crossed to be in size 10/12 by November 2013 )

For all of this week I have been having my full syn allowance daily so it will be interesting to see what the scales say in three days time....... Worried

Right it's no good starting a food diary on here for a week so I can physically see what I'm eating and if I'm going wrong....
