Weigh, Lose or Stay
Week Twelve
This week has been a tough week diet wise. Putting it politely it is not a great monthly time for me and all I have wanted to do is eat. We also had a lovely weekend away with family and it was so hard resisting all the yummy cake, food and wine. Oh and bread, actually let’s just not think about bread at all. I also feel quite bloated. I managed to lose 1.5lbs, not great, but better than nothing which also means I have lost all of the weight I gained on holiday too – hurrah for that at least!
Also, because of the bloating I suspect, my measurements have also stayed the same. Which is a little frustrating as I did start to do some exercise this week – I did Zumba via Youtube. I tell you I haven’t been that hot and sweaty for a while ;-).
Overall I am now 23.25lbs down so next thing is to refocus and home in on the two stone target. I had to say to myself this week as I say to a lot of my clients – I need to remember dieting can be a bit of a marathon and not a race.
This week, I am refocusing and upping my exercise with that 2 stone goal in mind – 4.75lbs to go – let’s do this!

Describing weight loss as a marathon is a great analogy! I just keep trying to remind myself that it’s better for my skin’s elasticity to lose weight slowly.
Btw, good job with the Zumba! I haven’t kept up with my exercise goals .
I don’t know I kind of want it all off and I want it off now lol. I did some more exercise today – determined to add it into my weekly routine if I can – thank you 🙂
Yay well done on losing your holiday weight!! I know what you mean on monthly cycles, I’m a classic water retainer and at times of the month it wouldn’t matter if I ate a lettuce leaf every day, I’m always bigger and heavier. You’re doing great, that 2 stone target is so close! X
Thanks Lins 🙂 I know that 2 stone is so close and I am impatient, but soon! x
Good going Laura, you were amazingly disciplined at the weekend, and you really deserve your weight loss. As it is time of the monbth, you will probably have a really good loss next week when all the water goes.
I am delighted to have lost 2lbs this week, which is a big loss for me. I think it may be linked to being ill for a week, but I have been eating properly for about ten days now, so am assuming that any temporary loss has evened out. onwards and upwards 🙂
Well done on your 2lbs that’s a great result. Hopefully I will lose some water this week and lose more – fingers crossed. Dieting is a game in patience and dedication is it not? But we’ll get there x
