Can't believe its been so long since I last posted. I did try updating last week but my internet was on the fritz.
Anyway, I thought I had been doing really well with Weight Watchers on my own. That is until I went to my first meeting the last week and found out my scales are telling porkies.
So the meeting scales had me at 21st 12lb which was a shock thanks to my unfaithful scales which are now in the bin. I was really good that week and when I went to my meeting on Monday this week I was down a pound :-D
I am really happy that my weight loss is going in the right direction even if it is only a pound a week.
I've set my first weight watchers goal at 5% which will take me down to 20st 11lb. The goals that I've put on the right hand side of this page are my Weight Watcher goals. When I have achieved the goals I will put the date completed next to the goal.
So it's looking likely that I won't fit into that size 18 dress for our Leon & Lisa's wedding party in June, but that just mean I get to do a little shopping :-D
I have been catching up on reading the blogs I follow today and one of my favourites is Curvy Girl Blogs recently she has created another site called Wardrobia where us real women can upload pictures of our new purchases so others can see how they look on a real person. You can search by brand / size / height / body type. I will definitely be using this site to help me find an outfit for the wedding.

1st WW Weigh In & Easter
I've weighed myself today and I'm happy to report a 1lb loss :D
I am quite shocked that I lost this week as most days I felt really full at the end of the day and its obviously Easter.
The hubby and myself stayed in Brid at my parents on Saturday night and we had a Chinese takeaway with my parents, the ninnies, one boyfriend and my gorgeous niece. On the Sunday morning we had bacon in croissants for brunch, we stopped in at my NanEtta's for a cuppa and were faced with a plate a biscuits of which I only had two. We then drove over to see my bestie Kat and her little family in Malton where we were treated to homemade spagbol. This morning I had a toasted teacake for breakfast. All of this was of course within my points allowance.
Today we are sat watching TV and are going to share a small Easter egg which will be pointed :D

Made the Decision
Ive made up my mind and signed up for a Weight Watchers monthly pass :)
I'm very happy about the decision and have chosen to do the easy start so I have don't have to think about it for the next week.
I have chosen to go to the meetings at the Gledholt Methodist Church on a Monday at 6:30pm. Unfortunately tomorrows class is cancelled so I will have to wait a week before attending a class.

Decisions Decisions
Well after saying I was going to be a good girl after last week I have really been struggling with lighterlife this week. I did start the week with good intentions but they gradually deserted me.
Over the past few days I have been thinking that £72 a week is a lot of money if I can lose the same amount of weight doing Weight Watchers with a monthly pass costing only £20.
I have just been looking on the Weight Watchers site and I found a class on tomorrow night after work at the Gledholt Methodist Church.
So should I persevere with lighterlife or join weight watchers?

5th LighterLife Weigh In
After last weeks appalling 1.4kg/3lb gain the scales have been kind and showed an OK stay the same. Obviously it's not a loss but I am still happy that I have not gained in the past week.
So after last nights weigh in I am now determined to stay on track this week and have a decent loss next week. I am hoping for at least 1kg/2.2lb. So in an effort to boost my loss at next weeks weigh in I am increasing my fluid intake by having a glass of water for every cup of tea I consume. Which will unfortunately mean even more pee breaks but if the weight comes off I'm not bothered.
Think I'm going to have a shepherd pie foodpack tonight.
That's all for now

Weight Gain and Pain
So at my last lighterlife weigh in on Tuesday 20th March I had gained taking me from 136.4kg/21st 6lb up to 137.8kg/21.9lb. Obviously I am not happy about this but on thinking about the days leading up to the weigh in I should have been more careful.
On the Saturday I met my mum, sister, and niece at Ikea and like a donut I forget to take any foodpacks with me. When we got there I was feeling a little hungry as I hadn't had a foodpack before leaving the house. My mum and sister said they were hungry and wanted to go straight to the restaurant so I ended up giving in to my stomach and having a sandwich. The on Sunday, Mothers Day, my husband and I treated my mother-in-law to breakfast at Greenhead Park and I decided to have the vegetarian breakfast as again I had not had anything before leaving the house.
Really its no surprise that I had gained weight when I had been abstaining from "conventional" food for the past 4 weeks.
Now its Sunday again and instead of taking note of my previous weeks weight gain and food mistakes I have not been entirely on plan. I am now wondering what the scales are going to say at weigh in on Tuesday, my scales say I have gone down to 135.9kg/21st 4lb. I am not taking what my scales are showing as the truth as all scales are slightly different and I don't want to be totally disheartened if the lighterlife scales say otherwise.
As well I having not been on plan this week I have not been 100% well thanks to my PCOS. Last Sunday, Mothering Sunday, I started with some niggling abdo pain. By Tuesday I was in a lot of pain and ended up leaving work around lunchtime as the pressure on my lower abdomen from sitting down was making the pain worse. So I drove home in agony and proceeded to change into my PJ's and have a lie down on the sofa with a mix of ibuprofen and paracetamol to try and dampen the pain. Unfortunately the pain did not subside and I ended up taking the rest of the week off.
I'm still not entirely pain free but I am much better than I was on Tuesday, so I will be going back into work tomorrow. I'm hoping that the pain wont be too bad.
I will let you know how weigh in goes on Tuesday.
