Oops I gained 1lb this week. Clearly 2 takeaways in one week pushes flexible syns too far. I am back on it again now, really hope I can hit my 10 week target next week. I had my hair cut today so must have lost at least an ounce there !! Hmm not sure that that counts really, better make sure that I eat and exercise properly too.
I finally discharged myself from physio this week (didn't feel there was much more they could do for me in the class I was attending) so now I need to replace my ankle classes with proper gym work. I don't think I am capable of running yet, considering that I still struggle standing on one leg (particularly the bad one). I am going to add the stepper into my workout, along with the bike and walking on the treadmill. I think I might start working towards my first body magic award, hopefully that will motivate me to go to the gym regularly.
Losing weight is the one thing in my life I can control at the moment. I need to feel better about myself, my confidence has taken a real battering lately and the only thing that keeps me going is the nice comments I get when people notice I have lost weight. Saying that; you really can have too much of a good thing... can't get complacent still a long way to go.
Good luck for the rest of the week everyone

Weigh Day Results 16 June 2011
I have lost another 1.5lb this week, I am absolutely thrilled. I have just worked out that this means I have lost just over a stone since I started blogging about slimming world back in March. It works out as just less than 1lb a week which considering that I took nearly 18 months to loose the first 13lb, is actually pretty good going. Writing this blog has really helped me get my focus, and I am grateful to everyone who reads it, I don't know any of you but seeing that every so often someone pops on and has a look really keeps me going through the tough times.

Weigh Day Results 9 June 2011
Sorry for the delayed post
got around to it, feel I may have been neglecting my blog and probably my commitment to SW.
Update from last week...
Having maintained for 2 weeks for no reason I new that if I was good and stuck to plan and it resulted in another maintain, in frustration I would have most likely completely fallen off the wagon, so I figured I would give myself a well earned weekend off. I had everything I wanted Thursday night to Sunday night and got back on it first thing Monday. Absolutely delighted that I lost 1.5lb finally I am in the 'overweight' BMI category instead of 'obese'.
Now to this week...
Unfortunately this week I have been rubbish, I don't have a clue how many syns I have had, because I haven't kept a food diary and this means I don't know what to expect on the scales tomorrow. I think I am within my syns still but I might not be! They say if you do something long enough it becomes a habit, this is certainly the case with writing down what I have eaten, now when I don't write things down I feel completely lost.
Help I am a girl honest!
I have less than three weeks before the wedding and need to prepare for my unveiling as a glossy sophisticated woman (hmm who am I kidding, I just don't want to frighten small children). I have to admit it is a long time since I have been preened and pampered (back when I was a slim slip of a 24 year old), but I have promised myself that I am going to do it properly. I have tried to work out what a 'girly girl' would do and have come up with this list:
I am pretty useless at all this stuff, I don't know what order to do what - should I have a leg wax first then the tan, if so how long do I leave between them?
I assume the manicure and pedicure would be best last probably the Saturday before the Monday of the wedding?
Am I missing anything off the list ? Oh I am having a scale and polish at the dentist the week before as well.
I would appreciate any hints and tips on how to look like a 'lady' I am 30 years old and just don't have a clue, I am like a fat miss congeniality (without the gun).

- Full leg wax
- Spray tan

- Highlights, cut and blow dry

Weigh Day Results 2 June 2011
Another maintain! I can only attribute this ridiculous stall to the fact that I have been on the contraceptive pill for 3 weeks now for the first time in 6 years. I was sceptical that this was the cause until I read the information leaflet and weight gain was clearly listed as a common side effect. Very frustrating, but its a toss up between quick weight loss and improving the other poly cystic ovary syndrome symptoms. I am holding onto the hope that once my body gets used to the influx of hormones it will start losing weight again, either way I am not giving up on SW, I know it works, its just my body that doesn't!
I am slightly concerned about the current E.coli outbreak, is this a good excuse to become a salad dodger? will SW revise the diet to stop the eating of uncooked veg? Am I getting rather too obsessed? I washed my fruit for about 2 minutes this morning just to be on the safe side, thank god I am not on a water meter.
