26/04 - Weigh In: Chasing down the 25's :o)

Well after putting on a lb last week I am pleased to report a 3lb weight loss this week, which means I have lost 5% and hit my first goal. I had been pretty good and have started drinking extra water in the form squash which I have felt better for.

I have been looking at treadmills that we can both use. David wants to start running and I would like to start walking more. I still feel self conscious when we go out for walks, so any help to lose more would be great. Exercising is so hard when you’re the size I am though and D doesn’t seem to understand that. It’s not like he is carrying another person when he is trying to exercise like me!

Nothing much going on at work right now, I am kinda stuck where I am till we win the lottery. I have nearly paid off the extra we spent on holiday and in the next few weeks; Miranda and I will be going to Virgin to get some pricing on the Wedding in Canada and the honeymoon. M & Eddie will be coming with us but want to go on to Hawaii once we head of on our honeymoon. I am thinking road trip right now and D seems to agree, he just won’t decide on the 3 options I had given him. I really want it to be something that we remember. I suppose I need to start thinking about my dress and the type of thing I want. I am sure it will all come together fine.

13/04 - Weigh In

Well I am very pleased to report a 5lb loss. I think it was to do with all the walking we done in NYC but it does me I have lost 1st and 3lbs in total. I just feel like its one stone down and onto the next one now.

I am now looking forward to hitting my 1st Goal and also going below 25st. It might look crazy to some people wanting to be that weight in the first place, but it's going in the right direction and that’s the main thing.

Well it’s back to work tomorrow after having nearly 2 weeks off but it’s also back onto the WW plan and pointing everything. I don’t feel prepared but I am sure it will work out right. We are also planning on keeping up with some walking, so I will plan a slow cook dinner on Saturday so that we can walk our socks off somewhere nice and I won’t have to worry about dinner when we get home.

The Beginning...

My name is Amanda and I currently weight 26st 7lbs. I started my weight loss 18/01/09 at my heighest weight 27st 5lbs and have just been trying to be good by cutting out snacking and bad foods and trying to just eat healthier. It wasn't working too well so I have turned to Weight Watchers.

I done a trial run before heading off to New York last week and lost 4lbs, so it's got to be worth persisting. I won't be going to meetings as we are trying to save money and I have all the tools I need at home. I always get weighed at the same Boots scales and normally on a Sunday.

I want to do this for me. I want to be able to go on a rollercoaster, fit into a seat on an airplane without asking for a seat belt extender, buy clothes from any shop I fancy, walk down the road without knowing people are staring and be able to ultimately look amazing in my wedding dress, which gives me a deadline of 10/10/2010.

I don't know if blogging will help, but I am willing to give it a go!
