Diary of a Wannanbe Skinny Mummy & Bride

Thanks hun!

I lost 4.5lbs this week! Can't believe it! So i've lost 1 stone 10.5lbs in 9 weeks (24.5lbs)! Got my stone and a half award and my club 10 awards! So pleased! Have lost 3 stone 3.5lbs in the 17 and a half weeks since I had Jack!

Think the massive trek around Manchester helped with that result, so may try some more walking this week. I cant do the c25k or 30DS as Dr thinks I have gallstones :cry: so got to take it easy. On a positive note I went shopping for a wedding outfit on saturday and it was the first ever shopping trip I haven't felt like crying and actually enjoyed! The only problem is that I found too much stuff that I liked and fit me (tried on 9 dresses!) and ended up buying TWO dresses in a size 16!!! This losing weight malarkey may be good for my confidence, but it's not good for my bank balance lol! xx

Yayyy that's brilliant!! Delighted for ya! Good luck with the dresses you prob have to get more in smaller sizes! Lol

One year today I will be walking down the aisle to become a Mrs! :bliss:

It was our anniversary yesterday so we went out for a meal at the hotel we're having our wedding reception at, and I went completely off plan for the first time in 10 weeks and it was totally worth it!

I had:

Chicken and Bacon Cesar Salad
Steak, chips, onion rings, mushrooms and tomato
Chocolate fudge brownie with icecream and chocolate sauce
Cheese and crackers with caviar
2 1/2 glassesof red wine, one brandy and diet coke, one sex on the beach and two baileys!

Soooooo yummy! Just got to be good again now and hope for a STS or small loss as definitely don't want a gain! 3 1/2 days should be enough time to claw some of it back xx

Just measured myself and in ten weeks i've lost 2 inches from my bust, 6 inches from my waist and 4 inches from my hips! I've lost a foot of myself in total, how amazing is that?! xx

Thanks hun! Jack's doing really well hun, thanks for asking! I took him to group today and everyone loved him and couldn't believe how good he was! He was flirting with all the lovely ladies there and having a giggle at my councellor when she was talking! xx

Awe thanks hunny! I keep getting so busy that I forget to post what I'm eating on here, but going to try to post more regularly now I made homemade meatballs tonight with a tomato, onion, mushroom and garlic sauce and had it with pasta, it was gorgeous! I took a photo so will post it with the recipe tomorrow xx

Well I'm really pleased that I lost 2lbs this week! Taking me to 1 stone 13lbs lost in 11 weeks on slimming world and 3 stone 6lbs lost since I had jack 4 and a half months ago

Will update my stats as soon as I can get onto minimins on the computer as for some reason it's not letting me log on!!

It's been a good week this week, jack started sitting up all by himself, I'm so proud of him! Got a lovely photo so will post it when I can sign in on the computer. We were at a playgroup and I had him sat in front if me and realised that I wasn't supporting him! He did it for about five minutes straight and then toppled over lol so I think he is copying the other older babies when he sees them doing stuff, as he rolled over for the first time at 3 and a half months when he'd seen a 9 month baby do it a couple of days before! I can't believe how quickly hes growing up, I'm officially past half way through my maternity leave now I don't want to go back to work!

I saw all the Christmas stuff in tesco today and got so excited for a minute as I love Christmas and it will be jacks first one. But then a second after I realises that at Christmas I will only have a month of my maternity leave left, so I'm yoyoing between being excited and wanting time to go slow because I love Christmas but don't want to go back to work! ah well, I'll just have to make the most of it as it is won't I?

I have a wedding to go to on Friday so going to keep low in the syn throughout the rest of the week so I can have a nice pudding or something while I'm there. I'll be driving so won't be drinking so that's not an issue, but I don't know what the food is going to be yet so I'm going to have to decide once I get there, REALLY want at least that pound off to ge my 2 stone award, so going to try my hardest!!! Xx

We're all sick at the moment had a family trip to the doctors today, jack has a nasty cold and got a prescription for calpol to help with his teething pain, ben has just got over the cold jack has and is having problems with his asthma so had to get a prescription for new inhalers and I've got an 'angry' throat infection and the beginning of a chest infection so have come away with a prescription for penicillin hopefully the antibiotics will kick in soon and my throat and chest will stop hurting!
