2015 - going to do it this time!

Morning ladies and any gents too of course,

My name is Laura, and I want to lose 5 stone.

I have been browsing this forum for the last few weeks and find so many of you (th)inspiring.

Whenever I have tried to lose weight before I manage 6 weeks and then give up. I don't think I have ever believed that I can do it. As a result I have lost and gained the same stone and a half for years. Seeing so many people with multiple stones loss makes me realise that perseverance and lots of patience goes a long way.

This time does feel different though, two of my friends have recently lost weight and are looking fab. Granted they have a lot less to lose than me but if they can do it why can't i? I also just turned 30 and feel if I don't do this now I am going to regret it.

I joined weightwatchers on the 20th Jan and to date have lost 9.5lb. I need to lose 5lb more to have lost my 5% so that is my next goal.

Feel like I have totally rambled on here but really just wanted to introduce myself and say that I think you are all awesome.

Laura

Thank you for all the lovely comments ladies.

Really hope we can all be successful together.

Today was a good food day, went out for a burrito for tea but tried to point it as best as I could. Left 3 points over incase I underestimated haha.


We are away for the a long weekend with my best friend and her husband and 2 year old. Taking food with us and plan to cook most meals as it is a cottage with a hot tub.

We are theme parking it up for the majority of the trip. We are looking to get Disney and Universal tickets. We are all NFL games so would really like to go and see a game in America. Happy that there are 3 teams all within a few hours drive so we may even get to more than 1 which would be brilliant!

Disneyland Paris is still awesome! At least it will be summer too, we have been twice, once in October and once in December and it rained!!! Hahaha.

Diet has went out the window a but this weekend due to lunches out and trying to find places that a child and adults will eat. I have tracked everything though and we have been very active so hopefully will not result in a gain. Will be drinking water like crazy before weigh in on Tuesday.

Hope everyone else has had a fab weekend. I will leave you with a picture of a duck we seen on our travels yesterday.

Sounds like a lovely weekend and well done for tracking everything!

I'm back from an awesome weekend away.

Weigh in tomorrow night and I am seriously dreading it. I know I am within my weeklies but this is the most I have eaten since joining and not sure what the impact will be on th scales. I have really struggled with my birthday on Wed and then this weekend to eat healthy.

Seriously considering not going to weigh in tomorrow as so scared its a gain.

Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Hate feeling this negative!

Keep calm & carry on

Still go. It's way too easy to skip a week thinking I'll get it back together by next week then that slides to several weeks off the rails.

If you're within weeklies you should still be fine but even if STS or little gain your birthday & fab weekend worth it

Good luck with the scales x
