Hey Donna,

Shame you don't live by me in the midlands. I am a qualified dance teacher and teach adult tap classes!! But much prefer my little ones on a Saturday!

Zorbing is when you are in a giant inflatable ball and get rolled down a hill!! You are strapped in so its great fun but I just couldn't hold myself up enough to save my head!!

WI ok last night. I STS. Was hoping for a loss before hol but ah well.

Going to enjoy my hol then when I am back start as if I am a newbie and go back to basics. Then I can zoom my way to my 4st sticker!!

Probably won't update much now as dancing all tomorrow and then go away on Sunday. Will post when I get back!

Will miss you all!

xx

P.S You really can't taste the mushy peas in the curry! Go on - Be Brave!

What a fantastic job - I would love to be a dance teacher, you must be incredibly fit!

Well done on being Young Slimmer of the Year - what a deserved win, you must be so proud of yourself!

Still haven't made the mushy pea curry but i will soon

Glad you had fab hols, the 3lb will drop off as quickly as it was gained, lots of love, donna x

What a fantastic job - I would love to be a dance teacher, you must be incredibly fit!

Unfortunately I don't do my dancing as a full time job, I am an accountant which is totally boring in comparison! Would really like to do it full time just doesn't pay the bills as well!!

Sorry I haven't been here for a few days have been busy with life in general. Have been mostly on plan so hopefully will see a loss this week but am not as fired up for SW as I hoped I would be. Am craving chocolate all the time. Trying to fit it within my syns but once I start I can't stop!

Goal for next week is not have any chocolate. Will stock up on fibre plus and pink and whites to satisfy any cravings!

[AmyS]

Well its WI today - Been ok this week but not perfect at all. Am starting afresh after WI tonight and hoping for a brilliant 100% week next week!!

[AmyS]

Lost 3lb this week - lost the gain I had after holidays!

Back on track now and heading for that 4 stone sticker!! Hopefully by the end of the month as that will be my 1yr SW anniversary!!

Bring it on!

Ok I have been AWOL on this food diary - bit of eating what I shouldn't and just generally picking. Nevertheless I have still lost 0.5lbs last week and 1.5lbs this week so that is fab!

I have a BIG target this week so need all the help I can get so felt that I needed to keep this up to date again!
Next Thursday is my 1yr SW anniversary and my aim is to be in the 11's - I have 2lbs to lose!!
Also discovered that a girl I sit with at class is EXACTLY the same weight so we are both going for the same target next week!!
My 4st sticker is now only 3.5lbs away but think that will be too much of a challenge so will stick to the 2lbs and get my 4st sticker the week after!!

[AmyS]

After finally reaching my 4 stone award I am here to confess I have been bad!

I celebrated the milestone in style at a ball with plenty of wine and a 3 course meal! And it has just continued from there.

I put on 2lb last week which was well deserved and I thought I had moved on.

However, I still seem to be craving bad stuff (and giving in!). I have been mostly on plan this week so hoping to have a loss tomorrow but really need to get my ass back in gear in the run up to Xmas.

It is so hard this time of year with all the temptations and chocolates I really need to refocus on what I want and get on with it!

It doesn't help that I am now not too far away from goal - people are now trying to make me stop saying that I don't need to lose any more weight. I have recently been getting into a few size 10's and also my doctor has even told me not to lose too much more.

However I think to be truely happy I want to lose another stone and this is why I need to be back on plan!!

Right rant over - WI tomorrow. Am 100% till then and then will be focussed on the week ahead.

Wish me luck!
