Sarah's Weight Loss Diary

[Sazmajig]

Hey guys,

So so glad minis is back - I definitely missed it. Have still been plodding away since the last time I was on here and have lost about 2 stone more. Currently weighing in at 11st 7lbs a total of 4stone 3lbs lost and roughly 11lbs away from my target (I think - I've finally this week committed to a target of 10.10 as this would be 5stone lost in total!)

Life has been busy as usual and since I was last one here I had a pretty bad car accident where my car was a write off and i was stuck in it for just over an hour and stretchered to hospital. Thankfully I am fine physically but it has taken its time getting me ok mentally! I am a very lucky girl and have a wonderful supporting family and boyfriend who really looked after me.

I initially wanted to be at my target weight for christmas but I've decided to ease off the pressure and aim for target by March. I am feeling so much more confident in myself now and this last little bit is just about making me feel completely happy in my own skin. The change in me is amazing - I can now wear size 10 clothes! (The left picture is not even at my heaviest and the right is me on my birthday weekend in London two weeks ago)



Cant wait to catch up with everyone, thanks for stopping by!

Hi Sarah - you look fantastic - well done! Sorry to hear about your horrible accident but glad you're ok. I think you're doing the right thing by not putting too much pressure on yourself to reach target by Christmas. So jealous that you can fit into size 10 - what an amazing achievement! Look forward to seeing how you get on! x

Thanks lovely - it still seems surreal that I can fit into these sorts of things... although my chest sometimes doesn't allow it. I am currently a 32GG?! Mental

 

[Jessieh90]

I feel your pain!! I always find fitted shirts are a no go. I really should get re-measured to be honest as I was last measured about 3 stone ago.... xx

 

[Sazmajig]

you definitely should! I was measured about a stone ago as I was off on holiday and needed a swimsuit to fit. I cant tell you how nice to is to have bras that fit (well these are slightly big but not as bad as my size 38/40 backs!!!

 

[Jessieh90]

I bet the bra's are nicer too! I always find the bigger sizes tend to be a bit old fashioned.....!

Well done on your weight loss to date Sarah. Wow!

You can really see a big difference in the photographs, you look so much younger too.

Sorry to hear about your accident, I have been in a situation similar and the mind does take longer to heal than the body but I am sure you shall get there, you sound so strong.

Have a great weekend! Are you doing anything fun? The wee one and I will be putting the Christmas tree up and the decs... not sure how long the tree will stay up as we have a five month old kitten.

Love El xx

Oh yeah - I love christmas! Gonna head to do some shopping once we are done with work and got the tree. Then going to spend most of today making it feel christmassy (gonna cook the OH mince pies and sausage rolls!)
Tomorrow will be a day to walk the dog and tidy the house a bit and sunday we have our landlord popping over (she hasn't been over since we moved in 18months ago - she's really lovely)

What about you?

[Jessieh90]

Aww that sounds lovely - 1 hour 20 minutes until my weekend! So apart from Christmas meal tonight - wedding dress shopping for my best friend tomorrow, then a takeaway (SW friendly of course!) at my other friend's house tomorrow night. Sunday will consist of Xmas tree decorating and popping to my old school's christmas market! Going to crack out my SW tomato chutney, not as good as the super expesnive / calorific House of Fraser one but at least it's syn free....! xx

Mince pies looks sooooo yum! I bet your house smelt lush when they were cooking Sarah. How you managed not to have any, I don't know... you have some determination, well done you.
I know my limitations, until I have a couple of weeks SW under my belt, anything sweet shall not be baked or they will entice me to over eat.

My house smelt so good... And I made extra mince pies and shortbread as we had guests over yesterday. They also had mulled wine, I just had an apple strudel mullerlight!

So this weekend has been so Christmassy! I love it

Walked the dog (plus the other halfs mums dogs too) a couple of times and it's been so lovely. We had a houseful of people and we had all the lights on etc.

We are currently watching Elf!

Have you all had a good weekend?
