First Weigh In
After spending a week of completely changing around everything that I have been eating and drinking.
Exercising and been 100% focused on where I want to be.
Ive had the result I wanted and proved to myself that I am able to do this without feeling deprived or hungry.
Fab news I have lost this week a massive 5 & 1/2 lbs
Taking me back into the 13's I dont ever want to go back up and see a 14 in anything other than my clothes tags.
Lots of things are going to be changed this year and how I feel about myself is just 1 of them.

Marriage wise Ive had a hell of a 2 years, up and downs break up make ups. Job changes challenging teens and in general what has seemed like a circus instead of a home.
My Brother got married giving me a sister in law and a Nephew.
We have had a Christmas Ski trip, Carribean cruise, Med Cruise, Trip to Rome and in 14 weeks are heading over to Egypt.
Since August 2013 my weight has just gone up I still carried on going to class but missed 5 weeks over Christmas period.
Although Im not back at my heaviest Im not far off.
So thought it was time I do a mass push and see where i can get this time.
I now feel my kids are not as dependent on me and I am able to concentrate a little more on myself and what I wish to achieve.
I vow to keep up to the blog and stay focused and on track.

Yes I did have a cornflake bun would have been rude not to when Sam made them and took so much pleasure in us eating them at Mr & Mrs B's.
No im not quitting and yes I will get there just seems a bloody long hard slog.
Got appt at docs on Monday for this bloody Mirena coil taking out google the side effects and maybe that will tell you why Im not loosing weight but I refuse to put it down to anything other than me god ive got enough excuses I dont need anymore.
I started out on the 11th Jan 2010 wrighing 212 lbs what the hell I had I been doing
I now weigh 197 lbs how big are these numbers.
My goal is to be 160 for my jollys thats basically a 1bs every week.
Come on body it must be time to have a drop I know Im tonning up as Im keeping a picture diary.
Keep everyhing crossed for me for my Friday eve weigh in just want it to say 13st anything.

15 LBS and still loosing
Not written on here for sometime as lots been going on personal and work wise.
All good nothing bad just takes up more time than I had before and Im not having my days off work neither.
The gym is still going great is really hard work but the massive feeling of achievement I get when I finish is so worth the sweat strain and bloody hard work.
I find when I have run further than before or quicker I get a massive emotional rush that makes me almost want to cry.
My goal is yes a long way off but my 1st target is only 2lbs away so hopefully I will reach that target this Friday.
Stupidly didnt measure myself to start with but have done that this morning so at the month end will put my measurement on.
Weight is now 14st 1 Lbs and I really want to be 13St 13lbs that 2 lbs in my mind means so much

1st Plateau
1st week that I have hit the dreaded brick wall no weight loss but not looking at it that way turn it round and instead it says no weight gain.
1 week is not going to ruin the rest of the year reality means there will be weeks when i dont loose as I do actually have a life too and as much as I am trying I cant never ever go out for a meal or socialise again.
Women unfortunately do have weight fluctuation and there is not a damn thin we can do about it so instead of fighting it im just going to ride it.
God how hard I worked Friday evening after not loosing maybe it will boost me along this week.
Valentines day bloody hell why does every occasion give us the urge to have a feast and Steve can cook so makes it all the more tempting, had a lovely meal without feeling any shred of guilt but I no longer feel the need to stuff my face and instead enjoy the food much more.
Kids are off school this week so I will be keeping away from the shopping centres and take them swimming and for some long walks to the woods save my pennies that will.
So nothing much to say really but still feeling great and I have still lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks and that is something to be proud of.

Amazing Results
Monday Morning Blues No Thankyou
For all those of you out there who think this is going to be a walk in the park you are so very wrong.
I also believe that when the time is right for you to loose weight you will achieve your goals and the work will not seem so hard as you will want to loose the weight for the right reasons.
I am in the right frame of mind and when it happens you will notice the differences almost straight away you will be more confident, you will have a sparkle back and the parts of you that were dead will find a new lease of life this is nothing to do with the weight loss but instead comes form healthy eating and a postive attitude.
My stress levels are down and I dont feel like life is a constant struggle.
Last week I went to the gym 4 times and worked hard
I went once and did very little
Sunday I swam 20 lengths
My main motivation at the moment is health
followed a clsoe 2nd by being 31 I want to look 31 and not 40 for as long as possible.
Im lucky enough to have a good friend whom is helping me alot she is much fitter so I have to work so much harder than I would if I didnt have her with me.

In 4 weeks I have lost 11 lbs
Speedy weight loss is no good you will be hungry, moody and 90% off people loosing rapidly gain the loss within a month of normal eating and more.
Loosing a steady 1-2 lbs a week slightly more if you are very overweight will mean you arent depriving your body of energy, vitamins and major food groups.
Also you shouldn't be left with the dreaded baggy skin you do not want musle loss instead you are aiming for fat loss.

Mind Over Matter
Welcome Back
January 2010
I have had a great start to the year.
The reason I havent wrote for some time was due to going into hospital and having a bad chest infection that I just couldnt shift. I was completely disheartned and basically gave up.
But January feeling 100% well I no longer had the excuse but had every reason to get going again.
I was starting to get pain in my chest, back, arms and neck that were causing me such discomfort I couldnt get any proper sleep I was angry, tired and been completely honest about as low as any woman can get if i'd have carried on I think within 6 months I would have been on anti depresants and having major health issues.
So I took the 1st step back through the gym doors and got back on the healthy eating.
In 3 weeks I have now lost 8lbs weigh day is now Friday.
I have not touched any chocolate or cake and can honestly say I feel so much better for it and the results are visible in my skin, hair and nails.
So I am BACK

1st Week of Gym Membership
Custom Search
1 week down only another 51 to go
I am really enjoying going to the gym at the moment the gorgeous male bodies are a big bonus and Wakey Wildcats training their is like the icing on the cake.
I think I need to invest in some really big sunglasses so that I dont get either kicked out for perving or fall off the treadmill whilst running.

Cake bloomin heck what the hell is that I have honestly eaten nothing unhealthy or cake like for a full week and I havent missed it at all.
Makes a big difference looking at a Mars Bar and knowing how hard I have to work just to burn it off seems so pointless eating it that I just arent bothering.
Makes a real big difference that I can also go swimming there and the sauna steam room and hydropool well I enjoy them almost as much as been breathless and sweaty honest.
On a major positive note I feel refreshed, less tired and have a bounce in my step.
Makes a big difference knowing that people are behind me and willing me to succeed and the flattery and lovely comments are very much appreciated.
1st weigh in since I joined tonight so fingers crossed and will update tomorrow.

Gym Membership
Yesterday I took the big leap into joining a gym
I have thought and thought about this and decided something needs to be done about my terrible fitness, I am tired, irritable, foul moods, and constantly feeling generally unwell.
Trying to blame this all on anything but the real cause>
So last night I took a trip up to my local Total Fitness and paid the grand sum of £295.00 for a annual membership. If this helps in anyway it will be worth every penny if it doesnt Steve will not be impressed so I have to go 4 times a week and make the most of my membership I am really quiete looking forward to this.
So this evening I will be going for the first time will take it steady and maybe have a swim after when I say Im unfit I mean I cant run for more than a minute or so without been completely knackered and for a woman of only 30 this is just not right.
Steve is 14 years older than me and at this moment in time I think I am about his age based on health and looks fitness im about 10 years older than him.
So Im on a mission to get Steve back is lovely young wife haha.

Been A Long Time
Morning everybody and hope you have all had a good summer
I am back
Unfortunately I have had no computer and havent been at work and had alot of other problems and upset that has set me back a bit so have been unable to keep up and I have to say it really does make you realise how much support you get from something like this.
I have completely let myself go and have probably eaten my own weight in junk food over the last few weeks.
So it stops now and back on track I arent going to get weighed until 1 week on Friday as I think it will dishearten me even more so instead I will knuckle down and start blogging again.
So keep your eyes peeled.
Also not sure wether I have already mentioned it or not but I am considering renewing my wedding vows whilst on a carribean cruise next Decemeber which has already been booked.

Wednesday
Things are going great at the moment for me I feel happier than I have done in a long time.
Been eating well and trying to make time for exercise this can be a bit of a juggling act. Love it when the weather is nice going outside in the garden with the boxing stuff and thrashing out all my anger and frustration this makes a great stress busting exercise.

I am starting to think about the school holidays and how I can keep them entertained without breaking the bank. Helps that I work 3 days so only have to plan 2 days and the weekend hopefully weather will be good so we can go walking and picnics.
Swimming pool will be out next weekend too if the weather is good.

My First Weigh In.
Monday is my official weigh day seems to make sense and will then hopefully keep me on track throughout the weekend.
So Weight today is 14 Stone 7lbs this means this week I have lost 4lbs
I am very proud of myself and this will motivate me to keep going, can't wait to see what I can achieve next week.
Food wise I have had a great weekend.
Emotion wise a terrible weekend from so called friends giving me a terrible time and making hurtfull comments that were out of order and didnt even concern them. People can be very cruel sometimes and this is something I just didnt need.
I have carried on and will not let this set me back. I now feel great about this weight loss and will carry it on all the way.

The Wkkend is Almost Here
The Weekend this is my hardest time of all we will have a full fridge and stuff for the kids.
But this weekend I am determined to not sucumb to eating the rubbish.
If the weather stays nice will have a BBQ which I find easy as will make homemade burgers, salmon, jacket potato and a salad so just need to keep off the beer nothing like a bottle of corona with a slice of lime when the weather is hot.
Jess had her 1st Majorette display today with the Batley Starlites and they all did really well so have been so busy this morning running Mums taxi around to practice, parties and then the school gala, so food hasnt been really on my mind.
We had a lovely bbq I just had 1/2 a buger and rainbow trout in lime and cocunut, gosh Steve is a great cook.
Kids have all been good today so alll in all a good day only treat I have had today is a small slice of Steve's mandarin flan couldn't have none when he went to such trouble and I think I deserved a treat oh and a bottle of Turborg which I really really enjoyed.
Will stay on track tomorrow and this will then be the 1st weekend in a long time that I haven't gone stupid with the sweets and chocolate and it really isn't bothering me that much really looking forward to getting on the scales on Monday morning.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone
Thanks for reading xx

So today I have drunk lots of fluid can't believe how hot it is in our office must be 15 degrees warmer than it is outside.
Food Wise I am doing well but my cravings are really kicking in so to combat them Ive had a Slim Fast Snack bar has a small ammount of chocolate on but they are really small but seems to have done the trick.
Breakfast - 2 Slices of Wholemaeal toast not forgetting the added seeds wit woo
Snack - Didn't have 1 today as it really is too hot
Lunch - Baxters Healthy Option Soup was really tasty and very filling and redced to 36p at Sainsburys's so a bargain to boot wont Steve be impressed money saving too.
Snack - Slim Fast Snack Bar very tasty and just enough to satisfy my cravings
Tea - Pasta plain with a small ammount of Mozzerela.

Today Im Feeling It
As I awoke this morning having missed the dog walk as Steve got in there 1st I could smell something cooking oh no smells like bacon.
Why is Steve cooking bacon?
A - Doesnt want me to loose weight
B - Hasn't thought
C - Trying his hardest to make this a difficult as possible
Answers on a postcard please.
So I stay in bed until he goes to work and has hopefully eaten the offending bacon this seems to work as kids tell me they have had breakfast Daddy made us sausage and bacon sandwiches this is just not something we do during the week. I also cannot wash up the bacon pan so leave it for him that will teach him I will refuse to wash up anything that has any fat on.
I amsure he is upto something and if he carries on will be getting a tongue lashing as my stomach is rumbling not from wanting the bacon but from the smell and just the thought of anything bad, I swear I could eat a full packet of Jaffa cakes.
This is so far the hardest day maybe my body is now feeling the shock of the extra exercise and the lack of sugar and extra fat I would normally be eating. I am expecting to feel worse by Friday but hopefull start feeling better by Monday, hardly wearing any makeup today as I can already tell a difference to how my skin looks and feels from all the extra fluid so amazing what water can do.
I am slowly starting to realise that there is a reason why cadbury's fruit & nut doesnt grow on trees or come from the ground, surely the answer is because we just do not need it and if I try to stick to a diet of mainly grown or naturally produced food I will be eating the way that was intended.

I amsure he is upto something and if he carries on will be getting a tongue lashing as my stomach is rumbling not from wanting the bacon but from the smell and just the thought of anything bad, I swear I could eat a full packet of Jaffa cakes.
This is so far the hardest day maybe my body is now feeling the shock of the extra exercise and the lack of sugar and extra fat I would normally be eating. I am expecting to feel worse by Friday but hopefull start feeling better by Monday, hardly wearing any makeup today as I can already tell a difference to how my skin looks and feels from all the extra fluid so amazing what water can do.
I am slowly starting to realise that there is a reason why cadbury's fruit & nut doesnt grow on trees or come from the ground, surely the answer is because we just do not need it and if I try to stick to a diet of mainly grown or naturally produced food I will be eating the way that was intended.

1st Blog Day
This is really my third day but lets not complicate matters.
The warm weather is surely helping I must have lost 3lbs in fluid and feel slightly sick as it is so warm
So hows my day really gone
6am decided to get up and walk the dogs much to the shock of my husband and later kids, but this is not going to work unless I put 100% into it so off I go.
Walk done and feel strangely awake and happy I am not at all a good morning person but have a early breakfast and actually smile about it.
On Saturday I booked a 15 night carribean cruise we go on 3rd December 2010 and there is no way I am going to be going in size 18 sacks so want to be gorgeous but still maintain my once lovely curves.
I am also seriously considering renewing our wedding vows whilst aboard as it will be our 10th wedding anniversary will not be a showy thing the only people who will be there will be us our 3 children and my Mum and Dad would be nice for kids to have a memory of that.
So this gives me even more determination that I will look great on the photo's.
Food Today
Breakfast - 2 slies of wholemeal toast & coffee
Late Morning - 1/2 Alpen light bar
Lunch - John West Salmon Light Lunch
Afternoon -Ginger Nut
Tea - Small Ham Sandwich
I have also drunk plenty of fluid I have found today easier knowing that I have this blog to answer to but not in a dred way more of a Im going to proove to myself and everyone else that I can do this and it doesnt have to be drastic, expensive or unhealthy.
Theonly bad point of today was Steve my hubby who decided to eat a choc ice infront of me well I dont do small bites Im a compulsive kind of girl who has to put 100% into most things i do so for that reason will not be eating any chocolate for 1 month as only a kg bar will satisfy my sweet tooth.
Thankyou for reading and see you tomorrow.

This Journey Has to Start Somewhere
Welcome to my journey
Scarey bit 1st
Starting weight 14 stone 11lbs
Measurements
Will update later as I cant find my tape but aint good.
I know this is going to be hard and this is why I have choosn to blog my journey so that I can inspire myself and others to continue.
I am not going to lie I will post everyday so that I have a personal record of what I will achieve and also a way of talking about my diet without boring my family and collegues everyday.
A little about my self I am Vicky aged 30 Mum of 3 kids aged 9, 7 & 6, Wife, Office Manager and taxi driver no wonder I have let myself go as time for myself is a luxury that untill now I havent really been able to indulge in.
I find my downfall is not the meals that I eat which are generally very good its all the rubbish I seem to eat but don't need all day. I could easily eat a full packet of biscuits the bit that scares me the most is I dont even want to eat these thing. I eat because i am sad, then eat when lonely and aslo eat when very happy so the way I look at it food is such a major part of my life this is the bit I need to change.
I NEED TO STOP HAVING SUCH A INTEREST IN FOOD AND EAT BECAUSE I AM HUNGRY.
After 1 sucessfull attempt at wight loss and 3 or 4 failed attempts I have realised that taking time out for yourself and appreciating that you are important is a major factor in sucess.
What am I going to do.
First of all I have ditched all slimming clubs I was a avid member of SW but do not want to spend the rest of my life eating however much I want of anything as I feel this can only be counter productive to somebody like me who is a major food addict. When I go to class my consultant keeps telling everyone well at least you are in control (I am not in control at all) also she used to say if youve gained weight dont worry at least you have come to class so that is positive. Well going to class doesnt not make you slim eating a healthy well balanced diet and taking up new exercise is the best way to do this.
