Weekly Weigh In Week 10

This week I lost 1lb and my bmi went down from 31.34 to 31.22. I really didn't expect to lose anything this week as I was on holiday for 2 days, with a lot of late finishes at work again and have only been to the gym a few times. 

I only have late nights this week that are the only thing to get in the way of me going to the gym so I should be able to get in there a bit more again. While il be eating healthily or at least trying to.

I re-measured myself for my measurements to make sure I was doing something right at least that's all below.

Last weeks measurements:

Left arm - 31cm
Right arm - 31cm
Left leg - 62cm
Right leg - 62cm
Stomach - 99cm
Bust - 109cm
Chest - 93cm

This weeks measurements:

Left arm - 31cm
Right arm - 31cm
Left leg - 60cm lost 2cm
Right leg - 62cm
Stomach - 98cm lost 1cm
Bust - 107cm 2 cm lost 
Chest - 93cm

So happy this shows that something is actually happening, hopefully I have measured correctly and that in 2 weeks time I lose some more.

My goal in a months time is to lose 4lb so 1lb a week for me as I seem to struggle to be able to lose any more than that.

Comment let me know how you are getting on in your journey and if you've lost any weight. It would really help me if you comment what food you eat during the week that's healthy it would really help me.

Weekly Weigh In Week 9

This week I've not been to the gym as much simply because work, getting in the way of it with me doing longer hours and being short staffed. 

I have been eating better and healthier this week though I've found myself to be eating less in the day so I'd have breakfast go to work for what seems like forever come home have dinner a cup of tea while having a snack during the day. 

Where as before I had a few snacks because I was just hungry all the time so hopefully that's past now and I can go back to eating normally instead of overeating all the time. 

This worked for me this week I actually lost weight I lost 1lb and my bmi went down from  31.55 to 31.34 which is the bmi I have been before. Really pleased with that after no weight change and then gaining a pound hopefully I'm back on track again.

My goal for next week is to lose 2lb if I can lose 1lb this week thought eating less hopefully I can lose an extra 1lb by going to the gym as well. My rotas at work are beginning to go back to normal now as people come back from holiday which means I should be able to get my self in the gym again. 

I will also be retaking my measurements next week to see if I've lost any centimetres any where fingers crossed next week I will lose weight and lose centimetres.

How is your journey going let me know by commenting.

Weekly Weigh In Week 8

I am so disappointed in myself I've gained 1lb this week it's not much but after 3 weeks of no change in weight is so annoying for it not to be a loss for me and my bmi went up to 31.55.

I've been able to go to the gym more often this week I've been eating better apart from last night which was a cheat night. I just am really wanting to lose weight faster than this and because I'm not it's beginning to make me lose interest. 

In my self I see no physical change to me even in photos I've taken but my family say they can which is nice to here. 

I realise I'm not someone who can go to the gym and just lose it like I thought it was going to be. My weight is just up and down and I don't know what to do.

The gym I go to isn't very big in the machines it has and when you compare it to other gyms you can really tell it doesn't have much there. I've started using other machines by myself but I'm a bit more worried to start with the weights because it's always busy in that part of the gym and I don't want to look stupid and be the only girl in there. I would really like to start using them but I will definitely need to be shown how to use them so I do it properly without hurting my self. 

After so long of saying I want to start measuring my self I'm finally doing it so this will be the first week for that and then I'm not sure whether I will do it monthly or weekly for it. Maybe even every 2 weeks I'll do it and check.

Left arm - 31cm
Right arm - 31cm
Left leg - 62cm
Right leg - 62cm
Stomach - 99cm
Bust - 109cm
Chest - 93cm

I have no idea if that's what I'm supposed to measure but that's what I'll stick to for now till I found out what I am supposed to do and I've decided I'll measure again in 2 weeks time so on my 10th week il update and fingers crossed this will help me realise going to the gym is making a difference in the way I look even if it's the smallest measurement. 

Thanks for reading leave a comment let me know if I've missed any measurements or measured the wrong thing knowing myself there's a good chance of that.

Weekly Weigh In Week 7

This week I've lost weight but again it hasn't been enough to make it go down a pound.

The only thing that's changed is my bmi so last week my bmi was 31.43 and this week it's 31.34 better than nothing I guess.

I really need to start measuring myself to actually hopefully realise I'm achieving more that way than in weighing because that would be really nice to see even if it's  centimetres I'd be really happy and it will probably motivate more to do it.

I've not been able to get in the gym as much again as I've done 6 hour shifts again and it's pretty much a workout at work anyway and when I do go I've forgotten to eat something so I become tired more quickly which means I can't stay there for as long as I want to.

Still would like to continue my goal of losing 2lb for next week as I didn't get to do it this week. 

Thanks for reading leave a comment on how your journey is going whether you're doing better than me or are stuck like me where you can only lose a little bit at a time and even then it really is a little bit.

Weekly Weigh In Week 5

I've been to the gym the same amount and been at work more hours this week so I was really expecting to have lost some weight. 

I've eaten more healthy this week but I've not gained or lost anything this week. 

My bmi shows I've lost weight but not enough for it to be a pound. I still weigh under 12 stone so it seems like a sure thing that I am definitely under 12 stone and won't be going back over it.

Fingers crossed for next week that I will lose 2lbs if I keep it up.

A crayon type highlighter from collection in the shade 01 pearl sheen and it was £3.99.


The rimmel london volume colourist mascara in extrem black which is also supposed to tint your eye lashes over time it was £6.99 I think. Really excited to try this out as this is their newest one they've released.

Superdrugs magazine it was free with my beauty card at the till so I said yes I'm getting that haha.

From ann summers:

 I love wearing thongs I know that they're not for everyone but I find them comfortable for me and it was only £5. I already love them.

From peacocks:


Sports bra I had seen it online and when I went in to the shop it was the last one they had and it was in my size so I picked it up. It was £10.
