Thread: Determined to be foxy 42 by 2014! Want to join me?

Day 2!

Weigh in day:Tuesday
Weight day 1: 14st 13lbs
Aim: 11stone 7lbs

I thought I'd start a weekly diary on here for my own motivation and hopefully so I can look back and see the change - in my weight and in me too. Everyone on here is really inspiring and one day hopefully I'll be one of those people too!! I've got to the point of enough is enough and I'm ready to go. Am going to log my couch to 5k (C25K) challenge on here too as well as my body magic challenge from the sw site and my new zumba wii game. Along with everyone on here that should be enough motivation to keep me going (as well as visualising myself being able to go into any shop and by something nice and not having to change 20 times before going out to find the least chubby outfit). Oh to wear a bikini on the beach (or to be honest even a speedo swimsuit in the gym!)

So, I AM determined to be foxy 42 by 2014!!! Who wants to join me?! I want to find the slim me again - no way I'm moving towards middle age looking more and more frumpy - out with the loose tops and dresses and in with the short(ish) skirts/jeans and tight(er) tops! I am Essex born and bred after all!

OK, let's do it!

Love

Michelle

Day 4 and still going strong. Loving this site and using it often through my phone. Struggled today with C25K but sticking with it. I WILL DO IT!!! not hungry, not deprived and really into it. love this feeling and have to keep it as long as possible!

Day 5. went to nature reserve and now studying. had HUGE brunch - 3 syns for veggie sausages and burgers. dinner made - 'christine's' curry yum. not tempted by naughtiness at all but feeling sleeeeeepy. must do some zumba later to get those calories running away! go go go

hello - been talking to myself so far, glad you popped into my diary too! not going to group this time. i've been lots of times before but the last couple have been disastrous. the last consultant was just not nice or encouraging. one example is that the group had been cancelled and it was just a weighin. I didn't know, got weighed and sat down on a chair to wait for group to start, NOONE said anything, just left me sitting there like a right @!** for 15 minutes. i mean, friendly group?!?! needless to say i didn't go back. the one before i did the weighing in but hardly got any thanks for it so stopped. she was stroppy too! my first consultant who i lost all the weight with before was hideous (now chucked out). when one lady got to goal she turned to her and said 'about f.....ing time'. ???!! what is wrong with these people? anyway, for obvious reasons thought i'd do it at home - i have joined the sw site as it's really the only way to keep up with changes on HEXs and syns etc. things change a lot, especially the veggie stuff. free stuff before is now syns so have to look everything up just in case til i can remember it!. that's why i'm on here a lot at the moment - really loving the encouragement and motivation everyone gives - it's great

you weighing at class or at home? i'm battling not to get on the scales but managed so far. really affects what i do if i get on so know i've got...to.....reeesist!! have a great night mx

No I'm not going to any groups. I'm just cal counting and weighing at home.
The reason I asked about group is coz my sister has just opened her own group and it's all about making money and not about the people at all! Quite shocking really! She asked me to be weigher because I'm so big, people will feel better about themselves if they see me. NICE Huh?!

You'll do fine with support on here. I've lost 3 stone at home alone but with support from people on here and mfp xx

I've had horrible consultants before as well. Really puts you off doesn't it?
Toxicsgirl, is your sister a SW Consultant now? Hopefully she can bring a bit more empathy into it!

Best of luck this week Michelle.

Thanks little miss peacock. Lets hope toxicgrls sis brings a bit if humanity to the Sw groups ... Not sure about that comment about you as weigher toxicgrl- I'd be well peeved with that!! Just had lovely curry quorn salad. Yummy. Off for walk now - later ladies x

Lol yep, she's not very empathetic. Yes she's a consultant, or leader, whatever it's called. Only in it for the money.
Shes lost 3 stone and thinks she knows what it like to be fat. She really doesnt. What makes me laugh is that she's doing the weight watchers diet coz she can't lose on SW!!

oh my god that's hilarious!! imagine if her class knew that?!

another good day. finding it very easy to follow this time. slept til really late so had another 'brunch' - scrambled eggs, cauldron sausages (2 syns), beans. just had banana and muller lemon greekstyle yog (1/2 syn) so far. for dins i'm going to have spaghettie bolognese: asda meat free mince with tinned chopped toms, chopped onion, chopped peppers, tinned sliced mushrooms and passata. all chucked in with garlic, oregano and basil. will add 90g mozzarella as had no 'b' choices at all today so got to get that sorted! pineapple and melon and grapes for pud and maybe later some quark with chocolate turkish delight options mixed in (3 syns). done my last day of week 1 C25K just now. getting easier but definitely repeating that week til i feel really comfy. i'm just not fit enough to do more yet and think it's better to build it up slowly. I don't care if it takes me all year to run 5k - as long as i get there in the end!

can't wait til monday night when my study will be handed in and from tuesday i can spend time cooking more interesting dinners (i'm a useless cook), doing more exercise (including going to gym which costs a fortune and i never use -handing in 3 months notice this week) and relaxing with mediation/crafting/reading/films that i'm just not getting a good chance to do at the moment. NO MORE STUDIES after this for at least a year unless it has no essays and no exams! one more day 'til weigh in. excited/nervous and haven't weighed myself once! fingers crossed!!

Are you another one weighing in at home? I was planning on going to meetings eventually but I'm doing so great just weighing in at home that I'm not gonna bother with group just yet- if I start to struggle I might change my mind.


Will have to look out for the turkish delight options didn't know there was one
