Losing the last 10kg - back to good ol Weight Watchers!

Goal Weight: 75kg
Current Weight: 84.8kg
Started my journey 01/09/14 - 28.2kg lost

Right! I've been faffing around for a few weeks, with no real sense of direction, apart from knowing I want to lose weight. My motivation has been swinging between amazing and non-existent, and the scales have been up and down like a yo-yo!

Top that off with an epic binge drinking session at our local Business Awards on Friday, and the not-so-epic bloat that followed, AND the realisation that Christmas is a mere month away!  

Weight Watchers obviously tapped in to my subconscious and knew the right thing to say, because last night I got an email from them promoting the new changes that start next week. Well. I am a SUCKER for shiny new things, so with the bonus month thrown in on a 6 month plan, I was hooked.

So with a few clicks, I re-joined WW as a paid member. Only online though, as I don't have enough spare time (or $$) to attend meetings!

I lost 30kg with WW last time, and got down to 4kg away from goal before getting preggers, so really hoping WW is my saviour again and can help me shake 9.8kg, and teach me how to maintain, before my 7 month plan runs out!



I had already been really good with food yesterday, so today is officially day 2. I am going to work my butt off to get under 80 by Christmas!!

Goals this week are:
5 workouts (walking/pilates)
Keep the bread to a minimum
STICK TO MY POINTS EVERYDAY

Next Mini Goal: 30kg - 1.8kg to go!

Thursday 12 November 2015

Yep, I Gained.

Goal Weight: 75kg
Current Weight: 85.3kg
Started my journey 01/09/14 - 27.7kg lost

Yep, I weighed, I gained and I owned it. I knew I would be up - the combo of antibiotics, painkillers and comfort food were never going to let me off lightly. I am hoping that some of it is water weight and will come off quickly, but the scales have been acting like a yo-yo so far this week.

I had big sook about it this morning and had a sausage roll and rice bubble slice for breakfast. I then gave myself a big (mental) slap and reminded myself that that was certainly NOT the way to go about losing weight!!! I can still save the week and get a loss on Monday, but not by eating that rubbish.

My exercise has been sporadic too - only 2 walks this week, thanks to teeth/weather/work, but about to go for another one, so I guess 3 isn't too bad in the grand scheme.



I also have a new Christmas goal. It was initially 76.7, but the last couple have weeks have meant that that is not healthily possible, so I will be happy with 79.9 (officially in the 70's) by Monday 21st. So 6 weigh ins to go and 5.4kg's to lose. It'll be hard going, but I REALLY want it (sooooooo badly).

Goals next week are:
5 workouts (walking/pilates)
Keep the bread to a minimum
2 x 500 cal days

At a Stand Still...

Goal Weight: 75kg
Current Weight: 83.7
Started my journey 01/09/14 - 29.3kg lost

No change in weight this week, in fact I'm a little bit up - but not because I've fallen off the wagon! I have an abscess above my tooth and I'm on intense antibiotics and painkillers. My body doesn't cope well with medication, so I'm pretty much doing my best impression of a 2 week old helium balloon. 

And you know what? It has been TORTURE. I weigh every day. I know I shouldn't, but I do. Don't lecture me on it, cause it won't change. And I'm fine with that. But watching the numbers sit stagnant even though I could barely eat for 4 days as been tough. Real tough. I haven't exercised all that much this week since the antibiotics have me feeling like S.H.I.T, but I've managed to get a couple of walks in, and kept my steps above 10,000 most days.

Today is the first day I haven't needed painkillers, and tomorrow is my last day of antibiotics. Monday, the tooth comes out (I broke it months ago and didn't do anything about it, tut tut). So I'm hoping for a good loss the following Monday (16th).

Until then I just need to keep the eating healthy (just don't ask about yesterday, or today) and keep moving!
