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...

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 ...

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
