10 stone lighter.

So as of Monday night I am now 10 stone lighter. I lost half a pound and received my 10 stone award, I am over the moon even if it was just half a pound. After all it was the half a pound I needed :D I now weigh 13st 11lb I'm hoping I can push for my 10 and a half stone award for christmas as there is still 4 weeks to do it 2lb a week and it will easily be mine. But even if I don't I got my christmas wish of getting my 10 stone award anyway.

I went to the christmas markets after weigh in on Monday night, I really enjoyed myself. It's lovely spending Monday nights with Ashley :) I'm off to Stoke tomorrow to spend the weekend at Ashley's house. I can not wait to see him, I've only been away from him for a day or so! I've not been very well the past couple of weeks so I'm hoping that will shift soon as the pain I'm going through is unbearable, I'm on so many tablets I could actually be a walking chemist!

I hope you are all having a good week and have a great weekend.

Jump up and down, do an extra wee!

So last week after losing half a pound this week I lost 2lb! This is awesome but.. when I stood on the scales it said 13.11 which I need to be for my 10st award but it kept flickering to 13.11 1/2 and then stayed. My consultant told me to go for an extra wee and jump up and down so I went and did that haha but it didn't work. Next week it will be mine, I'm so determined now I will get that half a pound off next week because my wall is longing for my next certificate! I'm so happy I'm still losing though and that I will get my christmas wish of my 10st award way before christmas arrives, this means I can attempt to at least be in the lower end of the 13st bracket before santa arrives. I want to be able to enjoy my christmas 10st lighter. I'm not going to go overboard all christmas, I'm just having christmas day, boxing day, new years eve and new years day off plan. I'm spending boxing day at Ashley's this year which will be lovely.

I had such a lovely weekend in Stoke, we went to watch Interstellar which is amazing.We went to the quarter to 11 showing and didn't get back until gone half 2 in the morning! I don't get to see Ashley until Sunday now which makes me sad because I hate being apart from him. I miss having lots of cuddles (we cuddle a lot).

I had some really sad news this dinner time too, my family doctor that I have for my 23 years of existence passed away over the weekend. I was heartbroken and I had to leave placement early, knowing him that long and have a lovely bond with him because he knew the in's and outs of my life. You could confide in him and he was an excellent listener. I also called him dad when I was 4 years old haha. I only saw him Friday morning and he couldn't believe how much I had changed as I hadn't been for a year. He told me how proud he was and how happy he is for me to be finally getting my life back and how much weight I have lost. He looked so well and happy like he normally does so to hear he had died a day later really upset me. It's going to be hard to find a doctor that will fill his boots now. On friday when I was leaving I said see you soon and he said not too soon I hope. I'm absolutely gutted. He will be deeply missed not just by me but all the 1,000s of patients that constantly ask for him when they go into the surgery.

I hope you all have an excellent week and weigh in goes well for you all.

ERMAHGLOB.

Okay so if you follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter you've probably already seen this and know how extremely happy I am. I thought I'd bore you all on here too! I've just been to asda with my mum after town and I was saying to my mum how my size 14 coat was getting a bit big on me and I have to keep pulling the strings in so it fits, I saw a size 12 coat hung up so I decided to try it on to see if it would fit. Of course I assumed it wouldn't but what was the harm in trying? Asda's coats are really true to size as well as I've struggled in the past to fit into their coats. I tried the size 12 on and to my surprise and amazement it bloody fit me! It wasn't tight either. I didn't buy it because I love my red coat I got from Debenhams so I'm not ready to part with that just yet. But I am so happy to be able to say I fit into a size 12, I've gone from a size 28-30 so to me this is such an amazing moment I'm on cloud 9. 10 dress sizes dropped, it's gobsmacking. Slimming world has changed my life and I will forever praise their plan and recommend it so much to people that love food but want to lose weight.

This week I've not been feeling too great I have awful pains in my stomach and the right bottom side of my back. I don't think I will have a loss on Monday at weigh in but possibly a gain even though I've been really good. Hopefully I'm wrong and I will get what I want, which is to be in the 13st bracket. I hope your weeks are going well!

My sincere apologies.

Hi everyone, I am so so sorry I have completely abandoned my blog again! My life is just mayhem at the moment so I barely find the time to get on my laptop unless its to do my assignments. I'm in a very good place at the moment, I've started my placement at such a lovely day nursery. I'm really enjoying myself there and the compliments I receive whilst I'm there are overwhelming it's nice to know I'm doing a good job. I feel so comfortable and welcomed and everybody is just so nice. I am still sticking to slimming world and have been weighed tonight, I lost 1.5lb and I have now lost 9st 11lb which means I am 3lb away from receiving my 10st award! So excited! I weigh 14st exactly now, I really hope I can get into the 13st bracket next week, I will be over the moon and it will mean all this hard work is paying off.

I had my first observation at placement today, it went really well. I passed it with flying colours which I'm made up with. Even in all the hecticness that's going on I'm still spending time with my favouritest person in the whole world Ashley. He's been my biggest support through all of this, he's helping me so much. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to have him, I don't know what I've done to deserve him but I'm so glad he's mine. I really couldn't imagine my life without him nor do I ever want to. We've been together a year and 4 months on Saturday, I'm not seeing him until Sunday now though which makes me sad because whilst he's at my house Monday and Tuesday I'll be in placement but I get to spend the afternoon/evening with him. I can't wait!

I hope you all are doing swimmingly, Christmas is only 7 weeks away!!
