lose weight

Haha, you know I posted earlier I was at my grandma’s last week?

Well, she goes to slimming world, but she’s at her target so doesn’t have to pay, but after a week of eating what i eat she lost 4.5 lbs in her last weigh in there and had to pay.

Made me laugh anyway – if only my eating made me lose 4.5 lbs in a week.

I had decided to cut down on my diet fizzy drink consumption. I still had it often (1-3 times a week) but I figured it wasn’t as often as many other people. I wanted to cut down on my aspartame consumtion. (did you know you could get aspartame-free diet fizz?!)

Anyway, after a rather traumatic experiance at the dentist today, I’ve decided to cut it out much more. Perhaps completely, we’ll see. (I have an irrational fear of the dentist, it was only a check up today!)

Anyway, that may or may not help me with my goals, but I’m sure I’ll be healthier for it.

Now all I have to do is figure out what I weight. A range between 112 and 129 is far too broad for me (I don’t look 112, I think perhaps I might look 125 ish. hmm). I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it accuratly. Perhaps I’ll stick with 129 in the meantime, and go from there.

I was so estacic at yesterday’s 129, I thought I would double check this morning. I stepped on, and it read closer to 131. Hmm I thought. Then I moved the scale to exactly where I had it yesterday, and it said 128.
I then moved it all around the bedroom, and got results ranging from 126-131.

I then tried it in the bath room, and I got 112! No way that I weigh 8 stone, but I tried it in 3 other rooms and they all said 8 stone. Why? The bathroom has a hard dimply, anti slip floor, and there are hard carpets in the other 3 rooms, but the first room had underlay making it softer.

I’m so confused, I have no idea how much I weigh, I know I am not 112, but now I don’t know if I am 129, 128, 130 or 131 or even less.

I’ve decided to up my calories. I’ve known all along that 1700 was too low for me, but i could never bring myself to higher it.
I want my metabolism to work at it’s best, and I don’t want it slowed down at my present age, considering it is likely to slow down in about 5 or 6 years.

I’m going to slowly work my way up to 1800. especially as I’m nearer my goal weight, I should be alright. I’ll do it in 50 calorie increases. So starting tomorrow, it’ll be 1750. Then after a week or so, I’ll bring it up to 1800. I know it may take my metabolism a few weeks to adjust, but I’m sure once it does I’ll lose my remaining weight and will enjoy eating the extra.
(I’ve figured it’s more about exercise than intake of calories, i mean, that swimmer michael phelps eats 12000 cals a day and look at him!)

I defied myself again, I said I would not weigh in till the end of the holidays…but, I felt an urge today and I followed it and…
129 lbs!
Finally in to the 120’s! 3 pounds to go untill I am 9 stone, and just 5 more to lose overall before I reassess my goals!

So I’ve come back form my grandparents. Food wise I was great. My nan has really caught on to my healthy eating and not once offered me anything bad.

I missed exercising on monday and today and will go tomorrow to compensate. i still by the end of the week wll have only done 4 days, but better than none.

I was going to weigh myself tomorrow morning. however, I don’t want the scale to determine how I feel when I’m staying at my grandparents house, so I won’t.
The next monday I won’t either, because I know I may have gained / not lost because of staying at my grandparents.

So I figured, I’d wait untill the end of the summer holidays. So I only have 3 weeks to wait. Hopefully I’ll weigh in about 3 pounds lighter.

I think I’ve been measuring my hips wrong…looking at past entries of other people of a similar height, they could weigh about 115 and have 35 inch hips, but I’m measuring mine at 31 inches at 132. Somethings up, I certainly don’t look that skinny.

hmmmmm.

Trying to convince my mother to buy some elctric scales.
They have some at lidle, dirt cheap compared to others. They cost 20 quid, but they measure muscle mass, body fat, body water, and bmi and obviously, weight.

Similar one’s from argos start at over 30 quid.

Just gotta convince her they’re worth it!
