Joining Slimming World!

So on the 29^th 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 2^nd 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,

Lip Blams

For a couple of years now I've been suffering with the worst case of dry/cracked lip imaginable. All day I am constantly applying lip balm as my lips without anything covering them is agony. They constantly crack and then bleed, they flake off and to be completely honest it isn't exactly very nice to be talking to someone and feel as though they are just staring at your flakey lips. So since I feel like I am an expert in the field of lip balm as I own and have tried what feel like hundreds over the past two years that I would give you my personal opinion on a few Lip Balm I have tried out recently and wether they were work the money, and if they have done anything to help my lips. 1. La Roche-Posay - Barrier Repairing Balm I initially bought this as I had heard Estee Lalonde rave about how good it was for helping her lips from being so cracked and sore so thought it would help me. I use this every night and lather it on my lips and yes I do think it helps...

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

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum

Recently I have been trying a lot of night serums to try and improve the texture of my skin – I am glad to have found the Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I haven’t really ever had the best textured skin, now that I wear make-up on a daily basis I notice the areas that are not the best even more. My make-up will stick to those areas or the texture pushes the make-up up over the area – this makes it even more noticeable to me. One night I took my make-up off and got really frustrated with my bad skin and took to google to find a product that would help me – the one that kept popping up and had good reviews was the Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Serum. I quickly bought the product and as soon as it arrived I tried it out… needless to say I was not disappointed. I used this product each night and it just blurs any bad texture areas, it makes my skin feel so soft which is what I look for from many of my skincare products. As this product blurs the texture it makes my make-up...
