drastic measures!!!!!

ok time is ticking and the scales are not moving quick enough for me........being good bad good-so i have decided to be as strict as i was 4 my wedding and to get the lbs off....i know its sooo strict but i think its what i need-im all or nothing really so at least if i know in my head what im having each day and what time theres no ooo i'll just have that and make it up etc....so from now on i will be having the following-:
B-m&s fruit punnet 3pts
S-skinny latte 3pts
L-M&s fruit punnet 3pts
D-marinated chicken and veg 4pts
Total 13 pts and will be drinking lots of water,diet coke and chewing gum to see me thru!!
Very strict yes i know but i need to see results and fast-i have done this b4 and i will do it again....seemingly if u do something for 26 days in a row it reprogrammes ur mind and becomes a habit-so thats my plan to get thru 26 days straight being very strict on it....i will worry about the consequences of it when im happy with my weight-hopefully will maintain by adding carbs very slowly back in(even just at weekends etc)...when i did this b4 i maintained for a bit put on a bit but then fell pregnant and just ate evrything in site...so this time i need to really focus-getting it off will be hard yes but keeping it off will be harder-i just need to feel good for my holiday which is 12 weeks on sat-OMG.The last time i did this i lost 3 stone in 4 months....this time i know it will be slower but im hoping to be in the small 13s in 12 weeks...if i am i will have lost 2 1/2 stone.I'm determind to do it!!!x

Being a slack ass!!

Im floating thru the days this week....doing it half heartedly....i've not been mega bad but i know i havent gave it my all this week and thats why im the same weight as last week:(-i need a boost, i need to get my serious head back on...ive not been blogging, tracking or planning and this is the consequences of it....i dont have time for mucking about-13 weeks today till i sail-so tonite im out for dinner and as of tomorrow-SOUTH BEACH HERE I COME....not tried this before but hoping it will give me miracle results.This week im gonna get my head in the zone and challenge on!!Next weigh in fri 4th of sept....i want to be as near to the 14s as i possibly can.come on be strong ang!x

still alive lol!!

yes im still alive.....just been busy busy!!well the diet hasnt gone the best this week-its not been off the wall bingeing but its been my birthday etc which has meant cake and lots of naughty's and i have tried to do what i can to recover but its safe to say this week is well and truly f$$ked!!!So i'm hoping and praying for a sts-never thought i'd say it but i am...especially after going from atkins to eating the way i am....i seriously need a kick up the bum-lost my motivation a bit this week and im getting a bit desperate now-13 weeks till my hols-oooooooooo.....gonna go to bed and pray-hehe.....i need to get back on track-I MUST I MUST!!x

oh how im enjoying...

this healthy eating again....had a huge salad for lunch-it was so light and refreshing-it really enjoyed it!!Just worked out i have another 4lbs to lose to get my next silver 7...that will be a total of 21lbs...this is my next mini goal and it will take me to being 15st 1lb-woohooo.....cannot wait!!x

Goodbye atkins-Hello kickstart!!!!

Well ate till my little heart was content last night.....but can u believe it i had no room for pudding-what is wrong with me????Stomach must have shrunk....head was saying yummy-go for it and tummy was saying NO WAY!!hehe..Anyway straight back on it this morning kickstart that is...had my porridge for brekky...and i raring to go....looking forward to eating my kinda things this week-but still gonna watch my carb intake!!Not weighing myself till monday-a bit nervous to see what the damage will be after my binge session...but hoping a few good days on ww and my totm going-it will even itself back out.Then a good week on kickstart-plenty water and this week i'm gonna make sure plenty exercise too!!So at the end of this week what do i want to achieve??????Well lets say monday im back to 15st 5lb(what i weighed on fri wi)...by fri i would love to be 15st 2lbs-a 3lb loss would be fantastic....but this is the part im most nervous about going onto another diet after atkins-need to focus this week....dont want the last 2 weeks and the 5lb loss to go down the drain.

change of plan!!

Ok weighed in today and over night i have gained a lb.....so my sp was wrong and i have lost 1lb instead of 2....but thats still fab as my totm is here and i feel about forty stone!!So i'm having my pig out day today and will be back on it tomorrow...ww that is-18 pts kick start week after atkins...i am sooooo glad not to be eating fatty foods and today even tho i'm having a eat what u like day......all i really want is fruit and fruity juice to get this yukky taste out of my mouth!!Well ok i want chocolate too-hehe....so out tonite with hubby and friends for a meal and drinks and then tomorrow im up and set to go again....got my porridge at the ready!!Not weighing myself till mon...after this bad session...but will take mon's weight and plod on...this time with more h20 and exercise..........god i've not even finished my bad day and i cant wait to be good already...something is wrong!!Well off to have another forrero rocher-mmmmm.speak to u tomorrow.x

2more days on atkins!!

Weigh in tomorrow and since last fri...my scales are saying a 2lb loss-which is fab considering my totm is ready to come anyday....normally that would be a gain.Over all on atkins i have lost 5lbs in 11 days-how good is that eh!!But with totm on the way i am battling so much for something sweet....2 days to go-i wont give in...no way-i'm not a quitter!!But looking forward to my fun weekend and then back to low points.Well done diet buddy on ur amazing loss-u are doing fantastic!!On to the next challenge hun!!x

2 days till wi-omg!!

Another pound lost on the scales this morning taking me to 15st 4lbs-woobloodyhoo!!Got 2 full days b4 wi...i need to push it one last bit and hope this totm comes along the way...that would hopefully take a couple of pounds off too.Really craving something sweet but i'm so determind to see the atkins out till sat(my pretend b-day)-hehe.Also looking forward to going back to ww low points as from mon...got my points calculator back out ready to go..will be sticking to 18 pts for a week.I'm really pleased i have done the atkins and i'm delighted with the results-i'm not gonna lie-it has been hard for me-its so not what i'm used to but its defo shook my body up a bit and i would do it again in another short burst maybe in a couple of months for another boost.So in total so far doing 9 full days i have lost 5lb-another 2 full days to see final results-defo worth it!!I'm praying i lose another 2lbs-i wont be disheartened if i dont but...would love to say/see i have lost half a stone in 11 days doing..then i can stick my tongue out to eric for being such a sceptic!!But just need to see what happens when i go back to low points now????x

Only 4 days to go on atkins!!!

Totm is lurking............woke up this morning and would have killed someone for chocolate-thank god there was none in the house or it would have been a choc frenzy!!Stood on the scales and still 15st 5lbs...so got till fri to shift another little bit because on sat im having a FUN day....where i can have whatever i want...mmmm-im drooling at the thought-its my b-day on tues but i'm gonna pretend its on sat because i dont wanna be bad in the middle of my new week...so bad on sat and then sun i'll be a little careful and then back on ww on mon doing kickstart(hoping it will shock my body again).Was hoping to be in the 14s by mon but my totm and my b-day has got in the way-so now i'm hoping after the next few days,totm coming and going and doing kickstart for a week-i will be in the 14s by then-i really hope so!!!Be the best b-day pressie ever!!x

Day 6 atkins!!

Well its day 6-woohoo...how well am i doing-cant believe how quick its going now....couldn't have done it without u jeri-thanx hun and good luck on ur camping trip-BE STRONG-u can do it!!

I'm feeling good,lighter and motivated but....eric wants to go out for dinner tonite and i've not been out for dinner yet on the atkins Arrgghhh!!So i need to be prepared and choose a restaurant wisely b4 i go...try and just have a steak or salmon or chicken???Need to look on the net and see what looks appealing!!8 days to go now to get the best results i can then a week on kickstart ww and then onto south beach...oh how i have been missing my latte's!!
Last night was fine...eric was sitting having a beer and i wasnt even bothered at all about having a drink at all-he was laughing at me cooking my steak dinner...I NEVER COOK ON A FRI NIGHT!!we always go out or order takeaway-so he was impressed with me cooking my steak-whilst he tucked into an indian...but i'm so motivated i dont want to ruin anything...i will have a little treat on my b-day which is soon so i can wait!!well guys fingers x 4 a good weekend 4 me!!x

Day 5 atkins!!

Well after a crazy morning with my scales not deciding what weight i was and me nearly giving up and running away-hehe...........off i went to boots to get weighed and woooohoooo my sp was correct i had lost 3lbs-taking me to 15st 6lbs-yes i'm under the half stone mark!!My next mission is to get under 15......can i do it-yes i believe i can now!!!Only 9 days left on this atkins challenge and so far so good for me!!6lbs to lose in 9 days oooo.It is getting easier....still wouldnt say im that excited about the food-but it defo gives u results and i think 2 week bursts of this is fab!!Oh i think i will piss my pants to see the 14s on the scales and thats me half way there...........calculated again and now i need to lose 3.2 lbs per week to be @ target-got 15 weeks now till i go-i'm counting it down-i cant wait now....but getting these lbs off is making me nervous-just need to keep plodding on!!right now to get thru this weekend!!x

Day 4 atkins!!

well woke up this morning and feel slimmer-chin is pointier,heavy feeling has gone in my tummy-woohoo!!Stepped on the scales and theyre just the same-which is fine..but wi tomorrow-hoping they will move again slightly if not i will still be delighted with my 3lbs loss this week!!!So 9 days to go and 7lbs to lose-oh to see those 14s!!I have to say the 1st week has went quick!!I've not deciding what im gonna do after induction!!Dont know whether to do another week of atkins or switch to south beach or slimming world??The only thing thats swaying me to atkins again is because if i do get to 14st 13lbs...its just under 15st so i dont want to be as close to the edge as that b4 i start a new diet incase i sts or gain a bit...ooo decisions decisions...i will see how i go next week b4 deciding!!What draws me 2 the other 2 diets is..south beach is sort of similar to atkins but u can have lattes and nuts etc..i will need to read up on it more and slimming world looks good-i know alot of people who have followed this diet and all lost loads...all ur fruit and veg and mullerlights(yummy) are free...i'm thinking i would follow the red days which are protein with a little carbs-to break myself in easy after.well off to guzzle lots of water and do some housework-the joys!!x

Day 3 atkins cont-:

Something has happened today-i'm feeling good!!Have more of a spring in my step-the atkins is giving me more energy i think!!Went to the cinema with Tia today...she had nacho's and ice cream etc and i just sat there sipping my water...but to be honest i wasn't even bothered!!When i came out @ 2:30 i realised i hadn't had lunch-so i thought i better have something-so i ended up having a double cheeseburger minus the roll-it was actually really nice-i never eat mcdonalds really-and if i do its a chicken thingy..but read the atkins site and it said they are 100% beef patties so i should be fine!!Pork fillet for dinner tonite with cauliflower mashed with butter and grated cheese on top.Had a slight colour change on the pee stix-so its defo working...my breathe stinks-i'm getting quite paranoid about it...been brushing my teeth alot more than normal-Eric is winding me up about it tho...should never have told him u get bad breathe on the atkins-hehe!!Cant wait to get on the scales tomorrow-how sad is that eh!!Hope theyre good 2 me.x

Day 3 atkins!!

well here i am day 3...last night i struggled-i was desperate for something sweet and fruity...but i didnt give in.Its making me moaney and moody but i think this is the sugar withdrawals and im hoping its gonna pass soon!!But i jumped on the scales and i'm lighter-woooohooooooo...but will confirm my official loss @ WI on fri..seeing the loss is making me more determind to stick with this-9 more days to go...i'm counting down-then i can have a drink and a little cake just in time for my b-day-mmmmx

Day 2 atkins!!

Well woke up this morning strangely not hungry...very unlike me...normally as soon as i open my eyes im in the fridge-hehe.Anyway weighed myself this morning and the scales are saying 15st 8.5lbs.....so in 2 weeks time i want to be seeing the 14s on those scales.Breakfast was a yummy 3 egg omelette with bacon,cheese,onion,mushrooms mmmm-i'm enjoying breakfast the most on this diet so far.Feel slimmer in my face again-think the bloatedness has gone-so ready to go for it-my b-day is 2 weeks today-the best pressie ever would be to be in the 14s.Cant wait to see those stix turn purple-woohoo-means im burning my own fat.Feeling more positive today...looking forward to the energy atkins is meant to give u 2-need a little spring in my step i think-well better get on with the housework guys bye for now x

DAY 1 ATKINS-here goes!!

ok got over my shitty weekend and my head is the zone for the atkins-god i better see results with this!!Went shopping to asda and cant believe how unhealthy my trolley was-full fat everything...i'm normally the low fat,low cal, george foreman grilling machine queen-hehe!!So this morning it was so weird having a fry up-couldn't tell u the last time i had one of those!!My mentor tells me i should have a good loss and when i change to another diet i shouldnt blow up(i'm trusting u jeri!!!hehe)So 2 weeks induction here i come....would love to go into september in the 14s...that would so spur me on!!Its deperate measure's now...will my cruise be all i imagine it to be...will i look uber skinny in all my posh frocks???I really hope so!!x

Could have cried!!!

When i got on the scales today...after a good week pts wise(ok maybe to much salt)-i gained a lb-F$$k F$$k F$$k-sorry about my french but how the hell did that happen???I felt very unmotivated-in this cyle with ww of a small loss,a sts, a gain-1step 4ward and 2 back...........anyway this afternoon-i have had words with myself and thought i cant give up...no way!!But need a boost so starting atkins on monday-for at least 2 weeks-i need the scale to move for me...its getting me really down...the devil in me says just do what u did for ur wedding-but i know it would pile on me again so whats the point in that.God i think i have about 17 weeks till i go on my cruise...i really thought i would have lost more than i have-my metabolism must be all mucked up.Things need to change they really do-i cant stay like this-there is a skinny minny in me dying to get out!!I'll get thru this weekend and get my head in the zone for atkins on monday-new challenge-here i come.x

WI TOMORROW-OMG!!

Yes its d-day tomorrow again.....not feeling a loss this week-i'm thinking im getting another sts
:(-i really hope not but its looking that way.Need to cut out salty foods this week for sure-it has to be that was it setting me back.It getting totm month time again as i'm getting sore backs,crampy tummys and can just feel it lurking-hope its not gonna be like this for 2 weeks till it comes-sometimes i wish i was a man-hehe!!Having a bbq for dinner tonite but its all pointed and very healthy.Tomorrow im up and out early to callanetics-will weigh in 1st....i'm getting my measurements taken tomorrow-so dying to know how many inches i have lost.I just want weigh to go well tomorrow-i have to be the slowest loser ever!!!If i never had my cruise i wouldn't be stressing as much, and if it was just a normal holiday and not one were i need to wear all these formal gowns etc i wouldn't be stressing either-i know the slower u lose the longer it stays off-but i'm having nightmares that these clothes i've bought wont fit me....gonna give ww a bit longer till after my b-day then im defo gonna try atkins for 2 weeks-just hope that works for me...a bit scared what'll do after the 2 weeks tho when i go back to eating carbs etc...but i'm sure jeri will help me out there-hehe....well pray 4 me peeps-think i'm gonna need it.x

PLODDING ON!!

I need to-would be to easy right now to slip...a mixture of being tired,fluid retention thru eating to much salt-the scales not moving for me........so major strict the few days till fri..i can do it...its only a few bloody days-i want a loss more than eating food just now-so no point soup is on the go today -cannot have another sts...even a lb off is better than nothing...gave myself a talking to this morning-plan is 16pts evryday till fri,exercise and h20.Was looking on cruise critic forums and all the pictures people have posted-it looks very glamorous-so i need to feel good about myself-only i can do this-cant wave a magic wand here-so need to try my hardest!!x
