Updated Daily Themes and Weight Loss Wednesday

Hey everyone. As you know I am back with a new provider and new motivation. I have decided to update my daily themes as I was finding Throwback Thursday a little difficult. I have always hated having my photo taken and so there was very little to throw back.

For this weeks Weight Loss Wednesday I have decided to discuss my relationship with my weight. Anyone who has been overweight as a child is familiar with the various names and torment that I was put through at school. Bullies have no idea the lifetime effects of their hurtful thoughts and actions and those that do, don't care. 

I have mentioned before that I have PCOS, which means weight loss is incredibly difficult. I have joined Weight Watchers Meetings and lost 5 lbs so far.

 Is anyone currently on WW or have been in the past? Do any of you have a similar experience at school to me?

Take care xx 

Weight Loss Wednesday: First WW meeting

3.5 lbs

Hey everyone, this week was our first weight watchers meeting. It starts off with writing down your new membership number. You then move along to be weighed. When you are new your weight is always taken by the leader. She tells you your weight, praises you for your loss or helped you find out why you sts and hands or gained. Then she gives you a booklet for the week. After everyone has been weighed the discussion part starts. This is where the leader has a set topic to teach about and everyone can share advice and stories. This is also where people get mentioned if they have lost. 

This week is my first week and I lost 3.5 lbs, this is using the simple start. This is where you have a list of foods you can eat until full. I am now on Pro Points, this is where you track everything you eat and drink and have to make sure you stay within your daily points allowance. 

You also get 49 weekly points that you can use for treats or nights out etc.

I am pleased with my loss  as I was not expecting to loose any. This week on points I find I am struggling to eat them all and feel like I am eating so much food. I will keep it up and see what the scales say on Monday.

Take care x

Weight Loss Wednesday: Joined Weight Watchers

Hey everyone, its Wednesday again and so its time to discuss weight loss. Paul and I have decided we are taking our weight loss seriously, this time we are going to give everything we have for three months before we expect to see any results. I know many people loose weight very quickly for the first few weeks with weight watchers but we are trying not to build ourselves up for a fall. 

We decided to try weight watchers as neither of us have attended any weight loss group meetings before. For me I think it will be additional strength in hard times, knowing that I have to face the scales every week in front of someone else. 

A major advantage of meetings is having a group of people to share experiences with and to celebrate when you find success and feel support when you stay the same or gain.

We are on the simple start plan. This is where you eat foods from a list provided to help get used to the good foods and portion sizes. This week we are not really starting but eating the foods in our cupboards, as get paid on Friday. I will always weigh on a Monday but I will update you on our Weight loss Wednesday Post.

I am going to be taking some pictures that will become my before pictures. I am also going to be taking measurements as some weeks weight is not reflected on the scale but may be in cm. 

It is important to make goals some small and some big, I would like to share some of these with you:-

To reach my silver seven ( this is the first half stone weight loss).

To be at least one clothes size smaller by Christmas.

To be able to wear shorts and go on any ride on our holiday to Orlando next year. There is a story behind this goal that I will share with you, if you want to hear it let me know in the comments.

Take care x
