Remember, if you're gyming it & toning your body shape will change you'll look smaller but the scales might go up or stay the same. It's a pain but try measuring yourself too

Yep its a pain in the bum Tan! Have been losing inches alright but again I really wanna be 9st something
:sigh::sigh:

 

[summergurl]

The scale number is nice but if I had a figure like you I wouldn't be worrying about that number :giggle: easy for me to say right lol

Take a look at this pic, I saw it on twitter good example of how you can weigh heavier but look leaner

 

[RetailChick]

Thanks for that Tan........interesting isn't it?! I know I'm being silly and I am proud of how far I've come since August but am annoyed at myself for not getting to goal yet! It's just so hard with all the events and stuff I've had bah x

 

[RetailChick]

Still here! Have been really naughty with food over the past week.....my Granny arrived from spain and we went for a chinese, then one evening we ordered chipper food and another night I had a chicken wrap and chips from mc donalds!

Sunday we had Jack and Darcy's christening. Was a fantastic day! Being host I barely had anything to eat but did have plenty of wine and champagne

I am on my best behaviour food wise this week as I thought I looked enormous in the christening pics My arms look huge and my boobs but I did wear the wrong bra whoops!! My little brother leaves for Australia on Thursday for at least 2 years and I am so sad.

Don't be so hard on ya self what's your brother going to be doing in aus for two years?x

 

[RetailChick]

He's just got his degree in business and finance but unfortunately after months of interviews he just cannot get a job here. He's going to have the adventure of a lifetime I suppose Tan, he'll find work and even better he'll find work in his field.

We are heading to the airport around 3pm tomorrow, I'm so sad. I just cant snap out of it

 

[RetailChick]

Yesterday's dinner sounds yummo!!! Xx

 

[RetailChick]

Can't believe it's been a week since I've posted!!! That dinner was yummo Tan.......have a hankering for it again now

Ok so froze my gym membership for 2 weeks over xmas as I've just had so much on.....didnt really have time to be going so decided to take a break. So I havnt been the gym for a week now, I do miss it and I had planned to do my abs everyday at home but I havnt..........I'm a disgrace ha!

So have been trying to be good the past week after weighing in at nearly 10st 11lbs last week have tried to just have shakes but that didnt work, so been having a shake and low carb meal, been very picky aswell. I did have a mc donalds this week (one of those chicken wraps) also had chipper food (qtr pounder with cheese and chips) on Thursday so wasnt expecting much on the scales. Total shock this morning weighed in at 10st 4.75lbs..........delighted!!!

This has motivated me to keep on the straight and narrow now until Christmas day hopefully, I NEED to cause am wearing a very tight size 10 dress on Tuesday so no hiding the tummy

 

[summergurl]

Hahani love how we plan our weigh around our clothes. Being a girl sucks big style sometimes lol x

 

[RetailChick]

It sure does Tanya!! Well had a strange Christmas in our house, with my 2 cousins, best friend and little brother in Australia it just was not the same

Christmas day flew by as we had to visit Stephens parents before heading to my parents for dinner. Didnt really eat much of my dinner xmas day, had a lovely prawn cocktail for starter though and no dessert. In the evening I picked at nachos and dips and the cheese board. Had 2 bottles of red wine over the course of the whole day.

St Stephens Day was very quiet, had a fry up in my mams and then we had a mc donalds in the evening (hangover cure ha!) no alcohol!!

Yesterday had 2 slices of toast for breakfast, picked at some minature heroes and had 4 biscuits throughout the day. Went to the in laws for dinner, had roast beef, very nice but I just picked at mine. Small bowl of jelly and a drizzle of cream for after washed down with a bottle of red. Also had some pizza at like 1 am............we were starving!!

Already feeling very bloated so going to try behave myself over the next few days, not stepping on the scales today because I know it will be mostly water weight but it will demotivate me and put me in a mood bah!

Hi guys Have been awol from here for ages!!

Well since Xmas I havn't been very good food wise, weighed in yesterday and am back up to 10st 6.5lbs..........I'm not too disappointed as I have been eating alot of rubbish/ takeouts etc and at one point over the past few weeks the scales had hit 10st 13lbs eeek! Am still going the gym 4 times a week.

So I requested a new trainer at the gym, I hardly saw my old trainer and we just weren't on the same page with what I wanted to achieve. She wasnt very tough on me (I'm not blaming her, I'm the one eating rubbish) but I felt like if she was on top of me I would make better choices if that makes sense???
Anyway my new trainer is James and he is great. He's been in the business for 14 years and he always works me so hard in th gym. I sat down with him yesterday and told him exactly what my goals were:
*Be lighter (at least 138lbs)
*Reduce my bust area (big boobs make me look matronly!!)
*Lose another 4 inches from my waist
*lose another 2 inches from each thigh
*Reduce my body fat by at least another 4%
*Work on my lower tummy (abs are starting to come through on my upper stomach but my lower muscles are still covered by a pesky layer of fat )

He was really honest with me, he said all my goals are really achievable and I work hard at the gym but I need to change my diet 100% for it to work effectively. He's working on a new eating and training plan for me this weekend and we sit down again on Tuesday to put it into place. I'm nervous but excited. I'm already happy with the results working out has given me, thanks to squats and lunges my ass is now back up where it should be lol and all my cellulite is gone!! I'm excited to see what results I'll get when I eat clean

This is were I'll need to most work, my diet is terrible these days and I'm locked in a cycle of eating well for a few days then bingeing on crap so really want to knock that on the head. I will definitely post my menus on her to try keep me on track!!

 

[Foo Fan]

Ur new trainer sounds fab!! I would be the same as u and need someone to be firm with me..
Good goals hun!!
I bet the meal plans will make a big difference! x

 

[summergurl]

[RetailChick]

Have had a very heavy weekend....lots of alcohol bah and not great food............will list the food but to be honest none of it was as nice as I had thought it would be in my head!

Saturday

B- 2 slices wg toast and butter
L- Garlic mushrooms and chicken ceaser salad
D- 3 in 1 from chinese

*Lots of wine!

Sunday
B- Protein bar
L/D- Salmon croquettes and homemade beef burger with cheese and a few chips *glass white wine

Day 1 of my new eating and training plan

Went to a pub quiz with steve and my friend lastnight.........drank far too much wine and had a cosmopolitan..whoops!! I did manage to turn down sausage rolls this morning though

My trainer emailed me my new plan so will go food shopping after the gym today to stock up! He gave me a new ab routine yesterday....very tough but it's brilliant! My bum and legs are a bit sore today.....lunges, leg press, squats, thigh curls and donkey calves yesterday.....tough but good!
