Lose 100 lbs in 2015

Well done ali-t!! It's obviously working. I used up most of my weekly points on Saturday night as I was home alone and bored - need to find something to distract me in future!

Ali T and CWR excellent weight loss I am weighing in tomorrow so wish me luck.

Day 9 40, no cheating yet. I was hungry today, probably because it was so blooming cold. I have cooked up a big vat of basil and tomato soup to make sure some part of my lunch is hot.

I am expecting to use all of my points most weeks because I am very overweight and I am really trying this time to be in it for the long haul and I wont do that by being hungry. I have no will power and will just give up. Low carb and low fat seems to work for me, well it will be working if I have actually lost some weight.

Day 10, 57 points - loads of sort of cheating! I went with friends for dinner at Loch Fyne, skullen kink, mussels with vegetables and creme brulee. It was a good evening and whilst I did have pudding, and the first bread for a fortnight, I still have extra points left for the rest of the week. Off in search of scales to do a weigh in.

Did you manage to find some scales Tootallulah?

We went to a different class tonight as we couldn't get to our regular one last night. 2lb off this week for me, 4lb would have seen me in the next stone down so I'll just have to aim for another 2lb next week! Must keep telling myself 'slow and steady'.

Well I haven't found any scales so no weigh in yet. If I get to eighteen days that is 5% of the year and if I am to be on target I should be 2.5 lbs down if I am not more than that I will be extremely vexed!

Day 11, 36 points a good day. Healthy eating, no cheating plenty of veg and fruit.

Oh CWR that is really good you will probably be a stone down by next week. What is your target?

I'll never be really slim, not like I was in my youth, so I'd be more than happy to be a size 16 (a long way off at the moment) - which would mean I could go in most high street clothes shops and find stuff in my size. I've got a huge wardrobe of clothes most of which I can't wear at the moment and I want to be able to open the doors and know whatever I take out will fit, some choice, instead of the same couple of pairs of trousers I have for work and 5 or 6 tops.

Size 16 is also my aim - 22 or 24 at present so a long way to go! I can make clothes which is a help but I also have a number of boxes labelled 20,18 and 16 and it would be nice to unpack them and see if I will ever wear any of them again. I have made a dress this week, you can't eat and sew at the same time.

Oooh, clever you! Wish I could sew that well. My mum's really good and made me a few things in the past. I just about got by making costumes for my boys when they were younger. Spent a weekend once doing a '300' outfit - the leather pants were the most challenging, surprisingly. Although I was most pleased with my bronze rivets for the armoured cuffs and shin guards made with beads of glue, from the glue gun and a can of spray paint!

Day 12, 46 points, the things that have pushed me over is a scone with butter I am VERY ANNOYED with myself. However, still not used all of my extra points I have 10 left until the next week starts on Monday. I am going to go into London next week and I know the Boots at High Street Ken has a weighing scale so I will go there.

CWR I love making costumes and am quite annoyed that my nieces and nephews are adults and don't need my wondrous skills anymore. I am going to make a skirt tomorrow. This cold spell is driving me nuts, warm up soon you !!!!!!.
