Love that moment..

There is nothing better when your losing weight and trying so hard than the moment you pull on a pair of jeans that a few weeks earlier where ridiculously tight and they now pull up and do up easily. They are actually possibly even a bit too big...

This has happened to me this last week. I could barely do up my jeans before I started WW and now they do up so easily that within a short time I am hitching them up. Gotta love that!

The other moment is obviously getting on the scales and seeing that number go down!

What are your favourite moments?

WW Week 4

Four weeks have gone by and I have lost another 0.6kg, bringing my total to 5kg lost on WW. I am pretty happy with that and I have now reached one of my goals which was to get back under 110kg. I now weigh 109.5kg. I decided that I would share this number cause after all it is just a number and if I am afraid to share it then it rules me and not the other way around.

So the goal is to get back under the 100kg by Christmas so I think I can definately achieve that.

The losses have slowed down the last couple of weeks but I am happy to still lose half a kilo to a kilo each week but I am thinking this week is the week to start excercising. I haven't been excercising the last four as I thought while I was still losing good numbers I would keep just watching my points and bring the excercise in when it started to slow down. So this is the week to get back on the treadmill.

How is everyone else going? I haven't been the best over the last two weeks and I think it shows on the scales but I am happy that the number is still going down. I am going to be super duper good this week though as I am heading out on Saturday night for a big night and need to save all my bonus points and excercise points for that.

An unusual one

Over the last week or so I have noticed that my knickers keep sliding down my bottom... I am not sure why I haven't lost that much weight but I wonder if it is a bit like people without any boobs that is where the lose the weight first where as I have ample boobs but not a very big bum. Maybe it works that way for me...

Weird I know. Just thought I would share anyway. You know what they say sharing is caring.

The FAT photos!!!


Me in January 2011

Me the first week of starting WW



So I thought I would share some not so attractive photos of myself AKA the fat photos. I am doing this for a few reasons:

1. So I can compare photos as I start to lose the weight
2. Because I actually thought  I looked good on both of these occassions until I saw these horrible horrible photos.
3. To remind myself that I am never going back to this again.





I honestly can not believe I have got to this size, but on the other hand I also know that a lot of it was out of my control and now that I have everything sorted health wise. It is definately in my control and I am controlling it which is an awesome feeling.

I think I am going to post photos as I reach what I consider big milestones! This way I can see it and so can you!

I must say though if you are someone that cannot lose weight go to your doctor and ask questions ask if it possible for you to have various things. I honestly can say that I don't think I would be here losing this weight now if I hadn't asked these questions and pushed for it.

Sometimes it pays to be a pushy person!

WW Week 3

I am now three weeks in to weight watchers and the loss has started to slow down. I knew it had to happen eventually but I was hoping for one more week of a big number first. This week I lost 0.5kg. I am actually pretty happy with this as I had a few treats this week and struggled a lot.

I think the biggest thing I learnt this week is when to stop. Even though I was eating some naughty things I still wrote everything down and kept track of my points and when they were getting to high I would reign myself back in. I used some of my weekly points but not a lot considering. I even bought a chocolate bar and only ate half!!!! Now that is progress.

I also am yet to start to excercise. I decided that while I was having good losses without it I would continue this way until it slowed down and then add the excercise in. I am thinking I need to start doing this now but on the other hand I might wait just one more week.

I did however take my mesasurements which I havent done for a few months and I was pleasantly suprised. I have lost:
- 2cm off my bust
- 3cm off my waist
- 4cm off my hips
- 2cm off each leg

They are huge amounts. No wonder why my jeans which were very very tight when I started are now starting to fall down... Well not completely fall down but annoying enough that I need to hitch them up often.

So this week I plan to get back on track and be very good like I was the first two weeks and see if it makes a difference. I must say though I am extremely happy with my results to date and would definately recommend WW to anyone.
