30st 5lb Start Weight

Oooh that first cup of tea is fabulous Re vibroplates, there's great reviews online everywhere about it being great for getting rid of the fat around internal organs - and also can be helpful for sore joints - so will give it a go shortly. Decided to have brekky first

I do love a cup of tea, at all times of the day I used to have a coffee in the morning but it's too harsh now. I prefer the gentleness of tea in the morning.

I want to get some de caf pg tips (the only tea I drink) but Joe got me a massive box of normal ones on the weekend so I'll have to get through them first!

Will have a look at vibroplates perhaps you could be the groups guinea pig and lets us all know if it's made a difference after a week or so! Xx

Right then..... I'm being brave:

I took a photo of my chin (double) on day one, and then I took one at 3am this morning....

I pic stitched the 2 together, I think I can see a slight difference but not sure if my hair is making it seem like it's more thinner....

Have a look for me...

The picture is horrendous, ugh, my fat face/chin/ugh/fat but the positive thing is that I like I like my lips so it's not too bad if I just focus on them and not the fat/chin/yuck/fat

 

[TracyGWill]

Oh yeah, definitlely a big difference! Keep up the great work!! xx

Yes! A definite difference! Well done. X Good idea to take photos at each stage, I need to do this, I avoid having my photo taken like the plague!

haha me too!! Even at my own wedding 3 months ago!! But it's a good way to see your progress xx

 

[Blondcat]

100% different. Think how different you'll look in a few months as well !! And your lips! People pay a lot of money for those

I hope you manage to stay awake and get out for your walk later x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Yep I can see a difference too - go girl!

 

[kayleigh.rebecca]

Hi, just wanted to say definitely a difference in the 2 pics!! I think that's a great idea to keep u motivated as actually seeing the difference in yourself is the best bit! And yes, u do have amaze lips
How are you getting on with the paul McKenna band? I'v done the full week and although I'm not probably sticking to the rules 100% I do think it's made me think differently about how I eat xx

 

[jayde1148]

I agree can see a difference x

 

[Blondcat]

I think before and after pics are the best thing. On days where you're feeling rubbish you can look how far you've come and it perks you up straight away!!

 

[chezz]

you can see the difference on the pics love i saw it straight away you go girl x x

First proper day of the first totm of the new year and it's been a disaster

I had a McDonald's for lunch, big roast dinner for tea and spotted dick and custard.

I haven't got that far over my calories and I have just done 15 mins strutting round the room until I was sweating but I am still annoyed at myself.

Totm hormones and cravings have kicked in.

Tomorrow I need to be stronger. I am going to listen to PMcK tonight (as I do each night) and in the morning just to make sure it sinks in.

I have been up all day after about 4 hours sleep and I'm wiped out and pale from totm. Hopefully this means I'll actually sleep tonight!!

Tomorrow I am going to *try* doing 2 x 15 mins work out, one when I get up and one in the evening. That way I will get my rda of exercise (30 mins) and hopefully I can keep that up.

The idea of it is awful, doing it is not as awful as the idea but it's not fun and after wards (now) it's like I haven't even done it! I need to remember that each time.

I can easily while away hours in bed watching Dexter, 15 mins is nothing really!!

I'm hoping the scales come tomorrow but I'm not going to weigh, I daren't after today! I have a number in mind that I'm gunning for this week. I weighed on Wednesday last week then my scales broke so I may give myself until Saturday to get my number. That's 5 full days of eating PMcK style and 30 mins a day of exercise! I need that number!!!!!!!!!

Xx

 

[Blondcat]

I wouldn't call this a total disaster at all Hershey. If that's "all" you had and no packets of biscuits, tubs of ice cream, bags of crisps etc I'd say really not that horrendous. The problem is with days like that usually is that it's not just the naughty treat meals and dessert - it's the "well I'm off the wagon I've now going to eat EVERYTHING in the fridge and cupboard". That's what I usually do.

The only slightly unfortunate thing is the scales the next day can be really mean so don't feel bad if they do arrive and don't show an amazing number. Tuesday will probably be much better.

Sounds like you've given yourself a good chance to get a good nights sleep. Hope you drift off and have sweet dreams all night xx

 

[trimNslim]

There's defo a difference in those pics Hun! What a change already! Very exciting!!!

Draw a line under today Hun! You know you can do it! It's not a disaster at all! xx

 

[hershey]

I guess you have a point cat

I didn't go mad and have 3 plates of Chinese and a thousand Pringles!! I'm reacting like I have as I feel annoyed with myself!

I shall draw a line as Candy suggests, under my high cal but not that bad a day and have an excellent day tomorrow and everyday until I weigh again!

Here's the line:

____________________________________________

I watched Fat for Cash on the telly, I like to watch programmes about how other fat people live their lives and this one was about women who earned money for being fat and eating on camera or sitting on men and squashing them or stripping. One of them was around 600lbs which is 14 stone MORE than me and she was enormous :/ she could hardly move, she had to be in a wheel chair and she just looked huge. Well, she was huge. I asked joe how I look compared to her and he said I look thin compared to her but I told him when i go outside or mingle with thin people I feel like I'm 600lbs, I feel like I'm so huge! I am huge but not as huge as 600lbs but compared to thin people I probably do look like I'm that big.

I hate that! I want to be somewhere and NOT be the fattest person in the room, I just want to 'normal' sized. I consider this to be from a size 18/20 down to about 12/14 for me as I'm tall.

You're right Chezz and what Cat said, about using it as an excuse to just have a total blow out! We must have changed!!!

My desire to lose weight is more than the desire to scoff loads of food! What's happening to me?! Xx

A big difference! Also, props from uploading, I hate the camera so I know what courage it takes to not only take one but share it with the world. Even that gesture shows you are moving forward!

STOP THE PRESS!!! I slept!!!! From
About 2:30 - 7:30. Only 5 hours but they were 5
Hours in the right place! Not 6am - 11am, but actually through the night!

I'd still be asleep if dunc hadn't come rushing in to wake Joe up who's alarm hadn't woken either of us!

Of course I'm going to go back to bed and try to fall back to sleep before my totm pain starts, I've taken painkillers so hopefully they will kick in too. The luxury of being a kept women

My sister (who runs the weightloss business Healthaspire - I came up with the name) wants me to help her out one day a week but I've told her right now im unable to leave the house but hopefully in a few weeks I can. It's scary and I don't want to do it but I think it would do me good.

I haven't always been a useless non worker, I used to work in a shop which was super social and I can't believe I even did it!! Then I worked at a local radio station which I loved, the people there were all bonkers.

I do hope to work again but that's way in the future, until I am confident enough!

I'm feeling happy I slept x

 

[Blondcat]

First of all you are not a useless non worker. You are a caring wife and mother who looks after her home and family And sounds great that sis could use your help one day a week. Eases you back in nicely with family and I'm sure the extra cash could be useful ?

Secondly - 5hours sleep during the night - AMAZING!!! This is great! I know it's hard, but try not to sleep too long today during the day or you'll just get out of whack again.

Any sign of the scales ? Hopefully they will turn up.

Hope the pain isn't too bad today and you have a good food day
