weight

25/05/11 = 17 stones 1 lb
only 2lb gone this week, but after 5lb last week wonder if it's just evening out

Progress

Only 2 lb off this week - bit dissappointing. I think I've not been timing my meals properly, having too big gaps during the day and then cramming the rest in together in the evening. I've set reminders on my phone now for every 3 hours, so hope that will help.

I've also not been swimming and think that doesn't help. Feeling a bit desperate for a swim, but can't go until my back's better.

Let's see what next week brings.

weight

17/05/11 = 17 stones 3 lbs
5 lbs gone this week - hurray!

Progress

Huge weight loss this week - 5 lbs. Wasn't sure how much I'd lose this week, I've stuck to the plan but with a mile pool session and the Salford swim on Sunday, my schedule's been hectic and strenuous.

I was particularly worried about Sunday - I should have had 6 sachets, but was sick when I got back from Salford and only managed 5.

But I'm really happy and have just changed my bracelt to a big silver bead and four glass ones, because I've lost 1 stone 4 lbs in just 4 weeks!

Great Salford Swim

Did the Great Salford Swim today. I'm shattered!

It was 1 mile in the very cold water of Salford Quays, in the rain and wind. It took me an hour and 20 mins - and I hurt my back about 5 mins in, so was in agony most of the time. Still, I did it, and raised over £1,500 for Dr Kershaw's Hospice.

I took some food with me for before the swim, and a drink for afterwards. But when I got home I felt so rough - shaky and queasy - and then I was sick. Not a good day really.

Once I'd thawed out I felt much better though, and got on with cooking dinner for my support team. My sister and mum bought some food with them too, so we had a buffet dinner - just green salad for me though!

Progress so far

Lost another 2 lb this week, despite being away and not fully in control (I'm sure there was a bit of extra oil and veg in my dinners, but they did taste lovely!).

People are starting to notice now, especially my face apparently, which is great. I can't really tell as I see myself every day - but my trousers are definitely more roomy!

I'm finding the forum a really big help for ideas and support - and still finding it relatively easy.
