Lizzymags journey!

Hi everyone!
This is my second attempt at Slimming world. I went to group the first time for 6 months and lost nearly 2st but since i left it i have had 2 children and put on more weight than i lost at group!
It is the right time now for me to focus on losing the weight and am doing SW myself at home!
I have decided to start this diary so i can keep a track of everything here in the one place.
i have just weighed myself this morning and have another 1lb off!
so that makes it :

Week 1:- -2.5lbs
Week 2:- -2lbs
Week 3:- -1lb

Hmm, i think i need to up my body magic (being so lazy at the minute as im so tired) and also need to up my superfree foods with each meal! I tend to beat myself up a bit when i dont lose as much as i had hoped so im trying to become more positive and see it that a loss at all is a step in the right direction!

One of the reasons why i am wanting to lose the weight is not only for my health and for my children so i can do more with them but also because when i was pregnant with my second child the midwife constantly made me feel like rubbish because i am overweight! Every appointment she would mention my weight (even though i was actually the same weight with my second as i was with my first!) i felt so bad at every appointment with her that i got to the stage where i dreaded the appointments but toward the end she was ok! I would love to lose the weight so if i ever have another child and have to see her she cant say anything to me about my weight!

Goal for this year - to get my BMI to a healthier level!

Hope your journeys are all going well x

Lost 2.5lb this week! I am so surprised as i fully expected a gain but am delighted with this loss! Means i have just over 1/2st off in 1 month! :bliss:

Hi lizzymag, well done on your weight loss! I'm also a 2nd timer after losing a lot and putting more back on when I stopped going. Good luck! xx

Thank you for your reply Miataiblue. I am doing the plan from home by myself this time due to money mainly but i am enjoying it more this time! How are you finding it this time?
I have had 2 children since i stopped going to group so now im trying to loose all the weight i put on in that time!

I've only had one weigh-in up to now but I've had a much better loss then I did on my 1st week last time. I stopped going after losing 3.5st because I had a brief split from my hubby and it was a nightmare taking the kids to group as they got bored so I was basically paying to go in, get weighed, and leave which I could do for free at home lol. I definitely need a group to keep me on track! I've just fallen back into bad habits over the last few years xx

Hope things are going well for you miatablue!
well i have had a 1/2lb loss this week! Im actually happy about that as i fully expected to have a gain! I wobbled a few times this week and nearly fell off plan a couple of times but i stuck with it!

Well done on another loss! I maintained this week, I think my body went into shock from my loss the first week lmao. Unless I'm doing something wrong and haven't twigged. My sw consultant said I might have another good loss next week to make up for it but that remains to be seen lol xx

Ah thats great that you maintained!!
Oh i have slipped off plan big time today!! Just had pie and chips for tea (dont even want to think of the syns!) but i definately enjoyed it lol! Well heres to tomorrow being a better day!

Thanks lizzymag, at least it wasn't a gain lol.

I'd just draw a line under your bad day and carry on. Everyone has bad days xx

Well i have maintained this week! I fully expected to gain as i had such a bad weekend and a few slips here and there. But i now plan to have a good week and fully stick to plan!

*i will fit in that jumper by christmas lol!

Really glad you maintained and didn't gain Hope you have a better week this week xx

Thank you. Hope your week is going well for you as well miataiblue! X

I think I'm doing ok after Tuesdays blowout thanks lol xx

Well i had a maintain again last week so that was 2 weeks with maintains but this week i have lost 2lb. I wish it would come off a bit quicker but at least its a a loss so im happy!

Well done on your loss! At least it's going the right way and you'll get where you want to be in the end xx

Hope things are still going well for you miataiblue!
I have gained 1lb this week, im a bit disappointed but not surprised lol! Really need to get my motivation back and stick fully to plan this week!

Things are going ok thanks

Sorry you had a gain but at least it wasn't a surprise.

Have you tried thinking about why you wanted to lose weight in the first place? I find that helps me.

My 'motivation memory' is my daughters teacher telling me that my daughter had told everyone in her class that I had a baby in my tummy and I could see the awkward look on her face where she couldn't tell either way but didn't want to ask and cause offence lol.

Hope you manage to find your motivation xx
