Slimming World: Week 8 Weigh In

So i missed out last week's weigh in post as i gained 1lb and was drowning my sorrows in a tub of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough. After 7 week's it really has hit home how hard it really is to lose weight and to motivate yourself to reach for the Strawberries rather than the Turkish Delights.

However, i feel like i have came so far in the last eight week's losing a total of 8.5lbs which for someone who has been a yo-yo dieter for over 10 years i do feel is a huge achievement.

Its more about changing the way you look at food and swapping out junk for semi healthier options which i do in most cases - however, the chinese is always calling my name and that is where i find it a lot harder to say no to. After coming home from a crap day at work and cooking for myself just does not sound appealing so i eat take-out. Which, is something i am trying hard to change.

So after my 1.5lb gain over Week 6 & 7 i thought about how i want to look for my holiday and i feel that has given me the motivation to keep going and to not give up like i have every other diet i've ever be on.

And in Week 8 i lost 1lbs - which isn't as much as i wanted but at the end of the day a lose is a lose and i should be happy no matter how small the number is.

I still have 0.5lb to lose before i'm back to where i was 2 weeks ago and hoping for a bigger lose this week as well!

Target Weight - 1 Stone and 4lbs to lose before my Holiday in June!

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 ...
