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!

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 ...

Slimming World - Fresh Start

Following on from my 2017 Goals post I decided to write about my fresh start at Slimming World. As I said I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the first few months I really enjoyed having a new project to focus my time and energy on. However, I do think I went about it the wrong way - in the beginning I restricted what I ate so much that I barely ate anything that was not completely free on the plan and barely used any syns - and even though back then I had great weight losses and was very happy with how I looked, there came a day where I cracked and ended up eating anything and everything that was bad for me. Because I restricted myself to so much from eating the things that I enjoyed i just broke and ever since then I never really looked at the plan the same way - I was never very committed to it after that. I really believe that having the 6 weeks away from the plan and allowing myself to miss then plan and miss eating the healthy foods that I used to, I ...
