I've been reading other peoples diaries and posts for the past week and have finally plucked up the courage to start a diary of my own. Hopefully regularly posting on here and taking part in the challenges that I have already signed up to, will help me to remain focused on my ultimate target.....to be able to wear a much smaller sized dress for my vow renewal in Cyprus May 2011.
My weightloss journey has been going for quite a few years in fits and starts and total stalls and give ups and excuses....This time is for real !!!
I joined Rosemary Conley in Jan '09 and lost 3 stone by sept '09. I felt that the diet was far too restrictive , so I stopped going to the classes. I carried on going to regular spin and body combat classes at my local leisure centre which really helped to stop me from putting all that 3 stone back on !!!
In May 2010 I travelled to Peru with a friend and trekked the Inca Trail which was hard work because of the altitude, I was very frustrated as this would probably have been a lot easier had I of kept up with the weightloss and not just maintained for 7 months...hey ho...live n learn.
I decided to join a weightloss class as soon as I returned from Peru, I certainly didn't want to do Rosemary or WW again (been there before) So Slimming World was the winner. I joined on 7th June and have lost 3 and half lbs, I'm not very happy with the amount lost but I have to look at what I'm eating and make sure that what I am eating is actually free and also that I'm not going over the top on the quantities. My consultant suggested that I kept a food diary for the week to see if I could pin point what it could be that was slowing my loss down. So I'm hoping for better things on the scales on Monday. As I'm now quite focused on what and how much I am actually eating.
So sorry to ramble on for an age....yummy SW lasagne and salad with homemade free frozen strawberry yoghurt with extra strawberries mmmmmmm yum!!
