I’m holding my hands up….

I have overeaten this weekend BIG styley! Went to Weston Super Mare for a weekend of camping with my hubby Greg, my sister Toni, brother in law Lee and nephew Kye (pictured opposite). It was a lovely weekend but I have fell off the wagon completely. I’ve had chinese, pizza and fish & chips, not to mention all the other crap that seems to have fallen down my neck! I have absolutely no willpower when I go away so weigh in on Wednesday is going to be dreadful. I’m going to get back on track completely tomorrow as for dinner this evening we’re sharing a curry. I don’t know why I do it to myself but I’ll probably put on again this week continuing my yo-yoing routine but I am determined to get to my 4 stone loss by October so I have 4 weeks to lose about 9lb! I can do this as long as i’m really good which I am going to be….as of tomorrow! Not back at work until Wednesday so I think I’ll be hitting the gym for a few hours tomorrow and getting ready for the long haul back at work until Christmas which is when I next get some holiday..boo!!

What a difference a year makes..

As you know, I’ve been following WW for one whole year now and ever since I started I have been keeping a record of my vital statistics! So after one whole year, here’s the low down on what i’ve lost…

Right upper arm: -2 inches

Waist: -8 inches

Hips: -3 inches

Right thigh: -3 inches

Bust: – 6 inches

So a grand total loss of 22 inches, 2 dress sizes and 46.5lbs…

I’m pleased with that!

Week 52 weigh in!

Tonight I’ve celebrated my one years service with Weight Watchers with a 3lb loss at the scales. Woohoo! Am extremely pleased and have had fish, chips and mushy peas for tea and i’ll be right back on track tomorrow. I need to smash through the next stone bracket as there’s only 0.5lb standing between the two brackets so I am DETERMINED to push through it for next week. The clerk asked me tonight how I’d got on this week and I admitted to having OCD tracking! Can it be a bad thing? Not if it helps me lose 3lb every week….

Have got a major lie-in planned for tomorrow as I’m on annual leave now until next Wednesday and a trip to the gym and the pool penciled in for the afternoon. Suppose I better do some packing for the camping trip too!

Just watching Ugly Betty whilst checking out the WWBoards and then I’m off to pick Greg up from Sutton as he’s gone out with the lads tonight to watch the footy! I’m much cheaper than a taxi..(should I admit to that?…ooops I just have!)

Night y’all x

Bloggin’ marvellous..

Well I’ve had a play around with my blog and I love it! I’ve added a horrendous photo of me at my heaviest which I really hate and have then added a few along the way which hopefully you will agree show some improvements!

I’ve also uploaded my weightloss by month since the start of ‘my journey’ and my goals that I’ve reached and one’s that I hope to achieve. By writing it all down I’ve realised if I don’t give weightwatchers my all (blog, message boards, gym etc) I do gain and I end up being miserable so here it is……

……..Mrs Shilts’ journey to the next 3 stone loss..who’s with me?

Happy Monday

Well it’s Monday and I’m really chuffed to say that I’m still on track (religiously tracking to be honest!) and planning my meals so that I can have a healthy but filling dinner

to stop me snacking late at night. Tonight we’re having barbequed chicken with home made coleslaw with brown rice for a grand total of 10 points. The new WW cookbook ‘Weekdays’ has become a favourite in our house, it has some brilliant recipes in it. Very much worth the money. Have noticed that there’s a new cookbook out for winter so may have to invest in that too over the next few weeks.

Have had a brilliant weekend with my nephew Kye (15 months), took him to the park on Saturday afternoon and he really enjoyed the swings and the slide. His mom and dad were both working on Saturday so he stayed at our house on Friday night and to be honest we really loved having him. He is such a clever little boy for his age, he was picking his favourite story book and asking Uncle Greg to read it to him whilst he looked at the pictures with a big smile on his face….

Having being on the 5+ message boards today, i’m considering doing the Wendie plan for a week to see how it fairs…some people have had really good weight loss whilst others haven’t really seen much of a difference to their normal weightloss.. However it won’t be this week ‘cos we’re off camping at the weekend to Weston with my sister and her family. Really looking forward to getting away for a long bank holiday weekend. Me and my sister have planned our main meals for the weekend to make sure we stay within our points and as she will be in her caravan she gets to do the cooking as it has a proper oven and grill. Will be doing lots of walking on the beach too so lets hope the weather picks up and is nice and sunny.

Have had a sneaky peek at the scales and although it’s showing I have lost I’m not taking that for granted as my scales tend to give me dodgy results. So, fingers crossed for a good couple of days then weigh in on Wednesday evening…haven’t looked forward to a weigh in for ages!!
