lose a stone

Well my weight-loss journey is now into it’s 5th year and I’m still 3 stone from my goal weight. But I am sticking with it. I’ve lost weight before and I can again. I’ve got the whole “new school year” feeling going on – fresh start, new goals etc. By this time next year, I hope to have reached my goal weight.

I’ve already lost 1½lbs since Christmas. Only works out at 1½lbs a week. For every pound I lose, I’m putting £1 aside. So 20lbs = £20 = new charm for my Pandora bracelet!

Because I need to to lose weight :) But I need to make sure that I have fun when I exercise (avoid the stepper & rowing machine at the gym) and that it makes me feel good. Variety is also a good idea, I think – less likely to get bored and give up!

So I’m hoping to become a regular fixture at my gym over the next few months, taking full advantage of the pool, gym and exercise classes, because there are plenty of clothes hanging in my wardrobe that I would to get in by Christmas!

May seem like a bit of a long shot, but I want to aim high. To be honest, any weight loss by Christmas would be fantastic but I WANT MORE!

So, that’s 2lbs a week until 16th December, my last Weight Watchers weigh-in before my holiday to the US. Size 14 jeans, here I come!

So I’m back at Weight Watchers. And yesterday was my leader’s 6-years-at-goal celebration! She lost 12½ stone to reach her goal weight – I’ve only got 45lbs to rid myself of!

I’m definitely feeling motivated, even though my throat feels like sandpaper this morning & I’d rather be in bed than looking after the kids. Feels good to be back on track.

I’ve made the decision to go back to Weight Watchers after about 5 months away. Since that time I’ve put on about 10lbs, but am still 45lbs away from my goal weight. When I first joined WW 3 years ago, I enjoyed great success, losing 2 stone in 6 months. Hopefully, with a bit of grit and determination I can have that again. I really want to be fit & healthy and fit into all the clothes in my wardrobe. I want to save myself from the threat of diabetes, heart problems & other diseases. I want to look in the mirror and be truly happy with the person smiling back. I want to feel confident in my own skin, and not worry about how I look.

So I’m going to give WW another go. Slim, confident, happy, sexy me – HERE I COME!
