This is a weekly post that I used to do on my personal blog but as life seems to get in the way too often I haven't updated it for ages (very naughty I know!), so I thought I would restart Weight Loss Wednesday here on oooooh pretty! Apologies for this post being really long, they wont normally!
I have been on a weight loss "journey" for what seems like a million years but have finally found a eating plan that suits me and actually works! I was talking to some of my blogger Girlies and they said I should do a before and after (well a so far, as I still have a bit to go!), so here it is!
I have struggled with my weight forever, I was bullied at school for being fat which at the time I really felt that I was too, but having seen some pics from senior school I actually wasn't! I'm not using the excuse of being "big boned" but I do have a bigger frame and I am tall so maybe that was it? Well since then I have tried every diet there is, as they say if you want to know about diets ask a fat girl.....It's true, most of us will have tried them! Detox, Atkins, slimming world, wheat free, the cabbage soup diet and that was not pretty, especially for the people around me (if you know what I mean!!)
Here is me at my heaviest....
In this pic I am a size 22/24, I absolutely hated the way I looked. I remember being so miserable, I am known for being a confident, happy person but to be honest, inside I was really unhappy! I can't even describe how how ashamed I am by this picture!
I remember being so mad at myself when I was on holiday in Australia and Hong Kong, I was so unhappy with the way I looked and rather than enjoying my time there I spent the whole time feeling self conscious!
Well, I am now on my way to being happy with body and weight. I joined Weight Watchers back in November 2010, over the next month I lost a stone but I then had a massive car accident which put a stop to everything (although I do remember emailing my weight watchers leader from my hospital bed!), luckily I managed to keep the weight off and actually lose more (i tried to follow the plan loosely at home!) over the next ten months whilst I was house bound on crutches! Once I was more mobile I rejoined weight watchers and now have lost a total of 4 stone 9.5 lbs! I would like to lose another 2 stone 5.5lbs.
Here is a pic of me now....
I have found Weight Watchers super easy, with the pro points plan you can pretty much fit anything into your diet, the good thing is it makes you really think about your food choices which encourages healthy eating!
So Weight Loss Wednesday's will be a place for me to share my weight loss along with any tips and recipes with you all! Also if any of you would like to take part in WLW you would be more than welcome, if you just wanted to share your weight loss story, weekly weigh in results or recipes, please let me know! You never know, it may help keep you on track!
My weight loss result this week is 2lbs! That takes my total to 67.5lbs.
Stay Gorgeous

Woweeeee! Look at you! You look almost unrecognisable and so glam in that bottom photo. I was at my heaviest when I went on a holiday of a lifetime to the Maldives, I regretted deciding to lose weight after that holiday and hate every photo take of me. I put on half a pound this week. We had a valentines dinner out, choccies and I made Chocolate and Hazlenut cupcakes that defo weren't WW! Congrats on your weightloss, you're a real inspiration to me xxxx
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks hun! I know, when someone else saw that pic today they said I look like a fat 12 year old!! Half a pound is ok, that will fly off next week I'm sure! xxx
DeleteIncredible! I'm getting close to losing 40lbs with weight watchers, and have about 50-60 more to go after that - it sound like a lot but I'm really tiny height wise. Losinmg almost 70lbs is an incredible achievent, you're inspiring! I also have a weight loss blog where I post my updates etc and some WW recipes if you'd like to have a look - it's www.f-g-s.blogspot.com
