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.

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:

• Full leg wax
• Spray tan
• Pedicure and manicure
• Highlights, cut and blow dry

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).

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.
