Joining Slimming World!

So on the 29th of December I plucked up the courage to go and join my first Slimming World Class. I joined for many reasons but the main reason was the recommendations I was getting from my friends that went – one of my best friends joined a few weeks before me and has lost half a stone in 3 weeks! I just couldn’t say no to weight loss like that!

Actually going and joining that Tuesday night was a daunting feeling and I had a sick feeling in my stomach as I walked up the Football Stadium it is held at. I have never really weighed myself as I didn’t want to know exactly how big I was and was terrified they would tell me exactly what I knew deep down. But I decided it would be worth it in the end when I got to target weight.

Even though I was terrified to stand on the scales and for someone else knowing what I weighed as well! And at that moment I vowed to myself never to let my weight get this out of hand ever again.

Two weeks have passed since I joined and I’ve had two weigh ins and I am 6lbs lighter! I could not believe it on my first week when I lost 4.5lbs! It shows that just changing the way you look at food can make you lose nearly half a stone in three weeks!

Over the years I have definitely been the worst yo-yo dieter and never stuck to anything, but now as I get weighed weekly by someone else it encourages me to not have that 2nd packet of crisps and on weigh day it really is worth it. The feeling of losing the weight is amazing and makes me feel very proud of myself.

This weeks target is to lose 1lbs (even though I do want more) as this 1lbs will take me to half a stone lost in three weeks and I will get my half a stone certificate!

1 Stone 3lbs to Target Weight and 141 days to do this!

Thanks,


Stef x

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
