2016 First Weigh-in

Wow!! My first weigh-in of 2016 and all the time peeing this week has delivered a 12 lb weight loss - I am really pleased, but will not expect the same again in future weeks so a great start, but now I will look forward to more realistic weight loss readings in the future.

I do feel the difference the loss of 12 lb makes, a little more energy and a little less pain in the knees, but as I have a viral chest infection my breathing is still pretty bad and going out just brings on a coughing fit.

Anyway, lets look forward to week 2 of 2016 and my Scottish Slimmers online recording of everything I eat and drink..

New Year New Start, 2016 Is The Year

Long time no see, I know, and all the weight is back on again!  Terrible.  Walking, breathing, arthritis, all bad!!

I rejoined Scottish Slimmers again on the 1st January 2016 and found loads of the old forum members had done the same, it was like turning the clock back.

Well, this is going to be the year I have success on my weight loss journey.  Tomorrow is my first weigh in and I have been checking properly and not feeling hungry once.  Also, the slow cooker is out and I am batch cooking, freezing meals down for future weeks.  My o/h loved tonight's chicken cacciatore, he was less keen on yesterday's chilli - a bit too spicy for him.

Off Pro Points - Disaster This Way!

Since January this year I have been doing really well, managed to get to my 5% weight loss and was starting to feel really good. This was with the help of going to a weekly Weight Watchers class with my daughter, who was also doing really well. Then disaster! My OH and I went to France for a weeks holiday over Easter and I have just not been able to get back on the Pro-Poins again.

I feel myself gaining weight, pressure on my joints, knees hurting from walking, tiredness and lethargy.

I have stopped weekly food planning, online shopping is last minute and not planned. I am losing control again.

I have to get my mind and will power back in control!!!!

Back on the slimming wagon

Yikes, got on the scales this week and definately need to get back on that slimming wagon train again and head for destination target weight. We are celebrating the big 30 anniversary this year in Paris at a concert, so got to be heading on the down track to enjoy the occasion and be fit enough to walk around the squares and parks of that romantic city.

Tried Weight Watchers last year, attending class on and off and using the web tools but just did not get on with it. Back to Scottish Slimmers and trying the updated PEP as on online member and using the forum for support again - I have had the most success with Scottish Slimmers, I just need the will power to stick to it.

This year I am putting me first, hubby next and work definately last in my priorities!
