28/02/11- Bye bye yummy food...

I've just watched the Biggest Loser and wow those people loook amazing! :) However I did watch it while eating galaxy though.. :/ Slightly bad, although it is my last bar of chocolate before Cambridge.. so I'm entitled to say goodbye....

Curry for tea with rice.. mmm stodge! I'm definitely going to miss carbs, but they are the bain of my life.. really.

I'm feeling ready to do this!
Booked my incentive today... 10 days in Malaga this summer :D I need to look amazing! I can't be a fatty abroad.. it's just not right.. Although I'm going to Camber in Easter and want to have lost a stone by then.. only a month or so away.. best get focused then :)

My first treat.. a sexy new handbag! :) I'm going to choose it this weekend, a lovely new Accessorize one I think :D Just 7lbs and I'll get it. Even better if I could get it free.. perhaps I should look into sponsered weight losss.. Hmm.

Tomorrow I'm going to eat pizzzaaaaa.. Sainsbury's do an amazing takeaway style one.. worth the calories? Hmm maybe.. It'll be my last supper.. I deserve it..

Saying goodbye to yummy food and saying hello to protein and shakes but more importantly a new me :D

26/02/11- A new me begins Wednesday..

26/02/11- Things aren't exactly going to plan..

Okay so after my entry yesterday I contacted a previous Cambridge consellor, but she's busy until next Monday but recommended somebody else.. I contacted her, no reply.. probably because I was meant to see her before but couldn't make it last minute, but still not the point.. so I could either wait a whole week and see my previous consellor then and risk putting on MORE weight or just wait until this one (hopefully) replies.. Ideally I wanted to start Monday.. a fresh week, a fresh 1/2 term at school etc.. So now I stuck with what to do? Wait.. or just seek another option..

I spent last night looking into other LCDs, including Lipotrim.. and also Tony Ferguson.. most importantly I looked at the weight loss averages per week and it seemed around the same.. but Cambridge still being the one where most weight could be lost.. I'm not sure what to do.. Argh, it just seems as though there are so many diets out there, all promising the same things! :/ So I think the next step is to look at cost, I don't want to spend more than £40 a week really.. £30 would be amazing! (unlikely..) Basically, I want a LCD.. one where I'm going to see quick results.. I'm beyond the point now where losing 1lb a week is suffice... I need the quick results to spur me on.. and keep me on track.. I've tried calorie counting/ healthy eating and exercise and I just feel disappointed in the slow weight loss and feel I need to take food out of the picture altogether..

Tonight is going to spent doing some serious research.. Basically what is the cheapest.. most promising diet out there?!

P.S- Weighed myself today.. no change from a week ago.. and I've been consuming 1200 calories per day.. and drinking more water.. What is going on??!

25/02/11- Enough is ENOUGH.

Horrified when weighing myself today.. 12.7! :O Not the biggest I've ever been, but pretty huge.. especially for my tiny 5'3" height! So I have resolved today that I will join Cambridge and lose 3 stone..

I've been calorie counting for the last 2 weeks, aiming to lose half a stone.. instead I've put on 2lbs.. :/ When I look back I am surprised.. I've eaten out with my parents once but other than that I've been eating less and watching what I eat.. Although the scales don't lie so something must have gone into my mouth! :S

Anyways, my first step is to record me BMI today... Obese category-. It feels horrendous to admit just how overweight I've become.. and how much I've just let my weight creep up and up.. soon I'll be 13st.. If I don't stop this. NOW.

My second step is to set an overall goal, as well as mini goals to keep me motivated along the weigh. I want to weigh 9 1/2 stone, with a clothes size of 10. My first mini goal is survive a week on Cambridge.. with a weight loss of 4lbs in the first week.

I'm also going to post a dreaded 'before' picture, and then post a picture every week. I'm going to keep note of my measurements too, again to keep me motivated and focused on the outcome..

I WILL do this!

Join me on my discovery of a slimmer me :)
