As the title of this diary may suggest I am a serial restarter; I lose weight and then gain it all back (and some spare!). Not this time I hope! I don't want to be constantly taking backwards steps and sabotaging myself any longer!
I am on slimming world once again and have been doing it now for almost six whole weeks, my sixth weigh-in is tomorrow! I have enjoyed almost every minute of being back on plan and back in control, I enjoy cooking good food, that is not only tasty but healthy. It is also nice to feel more energy now, partly from the weight loss and I think partly from actually getting proper nutrients from my food.
So this is how my weigh-ins have gone so far: I started at 18 stone and 12lbs.
WI 1 -7.5lbs ( Half stone Award)
WI 2 -3.5lbs
WI 3 -0.5lbs
WI 4 -3.5;bs (Stone Award, Slimmer of the Week, and Bronze Body Magic)
WI 5 - 3.5lbs
So I am 18.5lbs (or 1 stone 4.5lbs) down in 5 weeks. I am super happy, but trying to be realistic with myself. I know the weight loss will not always be this fast, and I need to stay motivated even when life gets hectic. Last time I was on slimming world I was down around 3.5 stone, but let life get in the way - it took me two years to go back to group! I can't let this happen again - I need to stick with it!
I have a lot of motivation at the minute. I am 25 and in my adult life have never (even at my slimmest) been smaller than a size 16. I want to feel confidant in myself, my health and know that I can do anything I put my mind to. I am also about to embark a new career as a primary teacher. I don't want to be preaching to kids about healthy eating whilst clearly not practising what I preach.
I know this journey will be hard, I definitely know it won't be smooth sailing. In 10 weeks I will be moving to a new city for my training, without my hubby! I will be stressed and busy and I know it will be easy to fall off the bandwagon. I am hoping that I will have built in the good habits and I will have the motivation and perseverance to succeed.
Until I start the course I want to get as much weight loss as I can off. So I am thinking maybe another two stone?? I know this is ambitious, but I guess aim for the stars? In all honesty though I am happy with a loss every week, it is after all the right direction.
Tomorrow morning is my weigh in, and I am hoping for a loss even if it is small. I have had star week this week so we shall see how that affects the scales. Due to my implant I don't normally get my totm, but if I lose more than 8lbs then it comes - a bit weird I know! I get problems with kidney inflammation connected to my totm so you can just imagine what a grouch I have been this week! At the start of the week I wanted to eat everything, I managed to stay on track though so I hope it pays off!
