Now taking off the 5th stone with C25K & Slimming World

I still have a poorly tum but am off to the docs later today.

I cant really follow the plan but am, by default, having to watch what I eat so I'll just have to take any losses or gains as they come.

Lemon lucozade is my new friend. At 266 cals a time, its not diet friendly but it has given me more energy and so I will carry on with that until I feel 100% again.

In brighter news I did loss 3 pounds on Tuesday but how much is poorly tum related I dont know - we will see this coming week I guess.
 
Aw hope that you feel better soon babes!
Stick with whatever makes you feel better, screw the calories.
Congrats on the loss though :)
 
Thanks Pink.

I am only now feeling brighter and have achieved that by just eating whatever I fancied. I was so fed up with feeling ill. My tummy is now better, not 100% but better. I have more energy and so I am going back on plan today as I have now put on what I lost by being ill so am probably back where I was 3 weeks ago. It means my xmas target will not be reached by I'll still be over 4 stone lighter than I was last year so its all good.
 
It's all about the big picture, you've lost 4 stone, that's freaking amazing, screw the xmas target, you'll get it a bit later lol.

That's how I feel about it really. Plus I was out last night for my niece's 21st birthday party and I loved how I looked in my dress. It was a size 18 as the 16 would not do up over my boobs but it looked lovely.

My family were calling me skinny which clearly is not true but it was nice to hear. I felt great bopping about on the dance floor.

I really do not want to lose much more and so I will see how I feel when I get into the 12 stones as I may stop a few pounds earlier than my current target. I can fit into some size 14s but this Coast dress would not fit in a 16 so I would like a bit more off from me now so I can be assured of getting in a 14 or 16 in any shop as that way I will have more choice.

I didn't really get back on track over the weekend but will make a concerted effort to start properly again tomorrow. I expect to put on at weigh-in on Tuesday but I really am just very glad to be better - I have missed the gym these last few weeks, I cant wait to get back.
 
Aw I bet you looked lovely! It's always great to get compliments, and even better to feel amazing in yourself.
Hope the w/i is ok.
Best wishes.
 
Well, I think I can pretty much write off November as far as the diet goes. Whatever that bug was, it is something I hope to never meet the aquanitance of again.

Last week's weigh-in was a Craig RH complete disarrrsta darling! 8 pounds on. :eek: Lordy, that is some going over just 2 weeks but I'd rather that than still be ill.

I did plan to be really good this last week but its just not happened. I've not been awful but not as good as I'd planned. It doesn't help that I have not been down the gym either. The thought of going out in the cold and dark evenings to walk to the gym is not really grabbing me.

The best I can hope for tomorrow is to undo a bit of last week's damage - I reckon I'll get a couple of pounds off, hopefully enough to get back in the 13s. I stayed in the 14 s for far too long as it was, I had hoped to not go back. Ho hum, such is the life of a long term lardy. :)
 
Heya, glad to hear that you're feeling better :) sucks to be ill, esp. at this time of year when there's so much to do.
Are you drinking enough water? That should help with the caffine headaches.
Right, I'm off to worship at the alter of essay deadlines.
 
Well I have given up the giving up of Diet Coke.:D Dieting is so much easier for me when I drink the stuff so I'll carry on, for now.

Ok, November was a complete write off as far as the weight loss goes and I ended up putting on 1.5 pounds overall. It could have been worse but it certainly put an end to my xmas target. On the plus side, I got a fantastic new job. :)

I have been on and off plan the last week or so and so still not back on it properly. I did lose 2 pound last week and hopefully I can lose a pound this week but its not easy at mo. a) its cold so I want to comfort eat b) I keep being invited out for socials and c) I have not been to the gym since before I was ill!

I will try to keep on track better this week but it may have to wait until the 28th when all my xmas socialising is out of the way. I am off to a spa that day for 2 nights and so that will be a great way to re-start my motivation.

Overall I will still be around 4 stone lighter this xmas than I was last so its all good.

My final target date now will be the end of March as that will make the diet a year long - I started on 30 March 2010. I will have to change class in the New Year though as my new job is full time. That is a shame but my consultant does do an evening class on the same day so I will go to that one instead.

So, I now have 17 weigh ins (completing on 29 March 2011) to lose 1 stone 7.5 pounds. I think these next few will be a challenge but from 28 Dec onwards...time to really re-focus.
 
Well, its fair to say it all went pear shaped over the last 6 weeks. I was ill, then got better, stacked on over half a stone in 2 weeks and have had so many dinners out that I kinda gave up. I've not been to the gym for 6 weeks either. However, randomly I just started eating healthily and back on plan as of yesterday. I stayed over in a hotel after a night out (the vodka shots came back to haunt me during the night!) but at breakfast I choose all Slimming World things and especially enjoyed the yoghurt and fruit - all at no effort. Today I am still on plan so hopefully I am back in whatever frame of mind I need to be in to make this work.

I have had more takeaways in these last few weeks than I have done all year on the plan - they have to stop and I have to get back to home cooking (whch is what I have done today).

I have 2 meals out this week and will try and make good choices. I will also try and stick to the plan fully on the other days. The xmas days, well I will see how it goes. Then on the 28th I am off to a spa for 2 nights and so will use that to kick start the plan properly.

I start a new job on 4 Jan and so I will have to rethink how I will do things. I wont be getting home til 7ish each night and that seems a bit late for me to cook so my new schedule may need some adjustment. The job also means I cannot make my normal Slimming World class as its at 5.30 on Tuesdays. However, my Consultant does do a later class at 7.30 so I'll start going to that one. On Weds and Thurs evenings I'll be at uni from 6 - 9 so when I will get to the gym, I have no idea.

Well my last WI is on Tuesday. I reckon I'll end up just short of the right to keep my 4 stone sticker but its not as bad as it could have been. I'll then have 1.5 stone to lose by the end of March. Totally doable.
 
Well I lost 1.5lb on Tuesday so my last WI of the year was a loss and I feel really positive about getting back on plan from the 28th.

I am almost 4 stone lighter this Christmas than I was at Easter so I am very happy indeed.

I now have exactly 1.5 stone to lose by the end of March - my one year SW anniversary.
 
you can do it babe! i'd like to lose about 1.5 stone by march/april too!
 
Wow, you've done amazingly so far, you can totally reach your goal this year!
We've all had a bit of a wobble over Christmas, but it's all good, that's what new years resolutions are for ;)
 
Thanks Girls!

The damage was worse than I thought, the health spa just had too much lovely food and the in-laws forced fed me copious amounts of wine and cooking like my mum used to serve up!!:D

And today, I have already had cheese on white toast so not a good start to the New Year but it was delicious.

I guess I could start as of now......
 
Have changed the thread title to reflect the New Year.

Although I have wobbled since the beginning of November. I am still more than 3.5 stone lighter than I was at Easter 2010. I need to regain the right to hold my 4 stone sticker and then I will have just under 1.5 stone left to lose. I'd like to reach that target by Easter.

I start a new job this week which is full time and so I am not quite sure how things will pan out diet wise but I hope it will help rather than hinder. I am worried that my gym time will be too limited but I'll see how January goes. Once the lighter nights come back, it wont be such a problem but I would like to get up and running again asap.

I will have to change class to a later evening one but that might give me a new buzz so it could be good. Time will tell.

Happy New Year all, I hope your diet resolutions last til you reach your targets!
 
Wishing you all the best with your new job and well done on maintaining most of your weight loss, its a great achievement and I am sure you will reach your target by Easter!

Happy New Year to you!

Thanks Mini.:)

I think, for me, continuing to attend class is a factor is being able to sorta keep on track even when not following the plan properly. Like many others I've done diets, lost weight and promptly put it all back on again and more. I really like Slimming World coz it does seem like a lifestyle and not a diet and so I am hoping that this time, any weight I lose will stay off. The fact that I've only put on a couple of pound over the 2 months (inc. xmas) I've not been following the diet is hopefully a sign that my eating habits have changed for the better long term.

Looking forward, I love the fact that I can attend classes for free once I reach my target as long as I stay within 3lb either side of that target. I'd like to think I'd go to my SW class once a month just to keep me on track. Of course, I have to get to target first and I am still not back on plan (went out for a Thai last night) but I hope to do well today.
 
Today I have had porridge for breakfast so a HEB plus some HEA (milk) plus a teaspoon of sugar (1 syn).

This now feels like I am back on plan (at last). Fingers crossed for the rest of the day.
 
Had jacket potato with tuna and onion for lunch.

Flake for snack (8 syns).

Chicken, roast potatoes and carrots, peas, yorkshire pud (3 syns) and oxo gravy planned for dinner. Yog and banana for afters.

That'll make 12 syns all in.

Its going well.
