Had a gain, bit of a bummer, however the next day my weight dropped down again, so I don’t think this was a true weight gain.

Consistently track food – successfully completed this
A small loss this week, happy news. I’ve been so much better with tracking my food this week, getting back into the habit of it. I also got outside for a walk a couple of times, which is more than the week before! There have been some meals where I had the choice between a high-carb meal with little to no vegetables, and a lower carb meal with plenty of vegetables and nutrients. I surprised myself by being able to make the more balanced choice on those occasions, and I feel proud of myself for it. I mean, I even prepared a salad which is a rare occurrence if there are other choices available.
I want to continue with tracking food, and am aiming to go out to walk more. I’ve been plateaued around the same weight within 3 pounds for some time, this week I want to get off the plateau.
Goals
Lose 3 pounds
Exercise every day
Track food every day
What a lovely day today! Weighed in first thing this morning, and then headed out for my day’s exercise for a long walk.
One of my goals from last week was to go out for a walk every day. I did not do this, I went out for a walk once – which was today. Definitely room for improvement!
Weigh In
Last Week: 285.8 lb (129.4kg)
Today: 287.8 lb (130.5kg)
Difference: +2 lb (0.9kg)
YTD: 3.2 lb (1.5kg)
A gain is not ideal, however with the lockdown and being extremely sedentary it’s not unexpected. I stopped tracking my food this week as well, due to having low mood. I’m feeling more positive today, and plan to get back to tracking my food in MyFitnessPal.

Happy Easter!
It’s a lovely day outside, a perfect bank holiday weekend so far. We’ve spent a lot of time out in the garden and videocalling friends and family.
I weighed in today, and am pleased with the result!

I am really out of the habit of posting on here.
Slimming World didn’t work for me. I’ve found myself 4 stone heavier after doing it on and off for four years…so I decided not to do it any more. That decision was made 3 years or so ago, lots of things have happened since.
I’m still a large lady. Looking back at my last post with a weigh in I’m a stone heavier, but am still working on being healthier.
7 months ago I was referred onto the NHS Tier 3 Weight Management Programme. It’s a six-month programme consisting of monthly appointments with a nutritionist to weigh in and discuss food diaries, and appointments with a behavioural change therapist. This is a step you have to complete before being referred onto tier 4, which is bariatric surgery. Many people look at tier 3 as a means to get the surgery, however I didn’t look at it like that. I saw it as support and help towards a goal I’ve struggled with. In my mind, getting the surgery would be great but there are huge lifestyle changes required to make it work, and there’s no guarantee it will be successful if you can’t commit to the life changes. I wanted to work on underlying issues with eating rather than jumping into surgery.
There is a goal of 5% weight loss at the end of the 6 months to be referred to tier 4 – I did not reach this goal. My nutritionist and I discussed my options for moving forwards, and I made the decision to have a further 6 months of appointments with my nutritionist.
While this was going on, there were a few life changes which definitely had an effect on my health and weight loss. Within that 6 month period I got married, moved house, went to my sister-in-law’s wedding, had Christmas, and started studying again. Busy.
Since I last posted I’ve actually moved 3 times, on top of planning my wedding, started and stopped studying, and worked several second jobs to save for said wedding. Plus now there’s the lockdown due to Covid-19…It’s all been a bit crazy!
Working with my nutritionist, I’m tracking my food intake and reducing my intake of carbohydrates. I’m creating more balanced meals, and increasing my exercise. This is especially important at the moment as I’m working from home, and am much more sedentary than I have ever been before.
Now for my stats…

I’m aiming to post regularly going forwards – I’ve set a reminder and everything!
Things have been a little busy recently, but I have weighed in.
So last week I lost 2 pounds, this week I re-gained those same 2 pounds, so I’m still where I was two weeks ago. Food planning for this week, using what I already have in the house.
Missed parkrun today and last weekend – last weekend due to the snow, and this weekend due to ear infections in BOTH ears. Not fun.
Fingers crossed I’ll be back on schedule next week
Weigh in
Start weight: 272 pounds
Weigh in: 274 pounds
Change: +2 pounds
Friday was a day for crappy food, so I wasn’t expecting to loose. Went for lunch with some of the girls in my team and chose to eat with them. Alongside a couple of not so good days, things were not in my favour.
Parkrun
Did Parkrun again this week, got a new PB! I ran for a small amount of it, and I felt I was walking faster too. I’m a bit nervous about next week as I’ll be going to a new parkrun on my own, but at the same time looking forward to it.
5k PB: 56:12
Hello 2018, and hello readers – if there is anyone out there.
2017 has been a tough year with lots of ups and downs. I’m done with making excuses for myself though, it’s about time I suck it up and power through.
I’m no longer going to Slimming World, I’d lost faith in it and wasn’t inspired. I could have tried another group, but I don’t want to. Andrew and I have a plan, a food plan which is healthy, full of fruit, vegetables and protein. We’ll also be food prepping for the week ahead, to ensure we have plenty of go-to healthy meals.
Over the next few weeks I’m challenging myself to do a 5k every week. I signed up to parkrun – free 5k trails around the country on Saturday mornings run by volunteers. I went to my first one this morning, and got in at a time of 58:06. My PB baseline! Now I have something to work from. I walked the course, and ran the last 100 meters or so to cross the finish line.
I feel proud of myself for completing it, I wanted to give up in the first mile as my back and ankles were painful. I hope next week will be less painful.
It’s the end of July, and I’ve not updated anything on here for a while.
I’m not sure what week of slimming world it is anymore, but I have still been going.
To date, I have lost 8 pounds. Today’s weigh-in was a maintain, which is good considering everything I’ve had going on recently.
Exercise-wise, I’ve not been to roller derby for a few weeks now, but I do intend to go back next week. I’ve also laid out a plan of things I would like to achieve physically in my bullet journal – some are small simple goals which build up to bigger ones. For example, walk 1 mile 3 times, 1.5 miles 3 times, 2 miles etc. I’m working on building up my endurance so I can do more activities without being so out of breath or tired afterwards.
Not knowing the week number is bugging me, I’m just going to go and work it out….it’s week 36 of slimming world now. I feel a bit ashamed that I’ve only lost 8 pounds in that time, well over half a year has gone by and only 8 pounds lost. I have 130 pounds left to lose to hit my goal weight, that’s over half of my current weight that needs to be banished.
Keeping track of my food is the main issue at the moment. I’ve started using MyFitnessPal again to do this and I want to keep it up.
