Big Fat Diary || My journey to weight loss and wellbeing || Week 11

Ай бұрын

One more pound gone this week - my new aim is to lost three more over the next two weeks, so that by the end of week 12, I will be out of the dreaded "obese" zone and my BMI will be under 30.
Thank you to everyone who has left supportive comments, given me helpful tips and shared their stories - and good luck to eveyone who is joining me on this journey :)

Yay, a pound off is still a move in the right direction, you are doing so well and I am sure you will reach your 12 week goal and get out of that red zone! Enjoy those soft fruits, they are surprisingly low in calories and very good for you too. 🍒🍓💗

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

Than you Kari - it would make me very happy to get out of that red zone and see my BMI in the 20s, I'm really focusing on that. I have a punnet of cherries today, but they will be my lunch, so I can enjoy a cherry binge without going off track. The strawberries are really at their best right now as well, it's the only time of year they're worth eating really, so I will make the most of them. I also got some globe artichokes in the veg box this week, but it's hard to imagine enjoying them without dipping them in butter or hollandaise, so I might have to try something different with them ... :)

Congratulations, Annie! You did great this week! One pound lost is a terrific achievement; you can be proud of that! Every single ounce that we lose toward our healthy weight goal is a victory. Our knees and ankles and everything else will appreciate the difference. I’m hanging in there, and now that we got past the funeral for my sister-in-law, I hope for things to gradually settle down and be less stressful and sad. It’s summertime, for goodness’ sake. I want to be out under a shady tree with some stitching and a tall cool beverage! 😊 Have a fun day, Annie! Hugs from Lynn in Hallsville, Missouri USA

Thank you Lynn, I'm glad you have the funeral behind you, so that you can move on now, and you deserve to enjoy the summer. You did so well to stay on track despite everything - we just need to keep on keeping on now, we can definitely do this! :) xo

CONGRATS!!🥳 Soooooo happy for you! Can't believe you're approaching week 12😳. Time does fly! Have a fabulous week crafting💞

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

Thank you! I know, as I type this, it's only ten days until the end of week twelve, and I'm over a third of the way to my target weight, so I hope that if I keep this up I can reach my goal just before Christmas, then I can start 2025 as I mean to go on. It sounds like a long time, but I will feel better and better as I go along and I hope this will be maintainable in the long term. Have a fabulous creative week yourself :) xo

thanks Pippa - and don't worry, we all slip a bit sometimes, the trick is to get back up and keep moving forward, don't look back, eyes on the prize! Hope you're having a good week :) xo

You're doing so well Annie. I have started my own journey with SW. Will be my 4th weigh in this week, so third week of actually being on the plan. I agree with you about all the gorgeous summer berries I'm loving cherries, strawberries and raspberries at the moment plus nectarines are also so good. I'm looking forward to being out of the obese category as well although I have a bit further to go with that than you. You've done so well and it's so inspiring to see your journey. Have a great week 😊 xx

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

That's brilliant Shelly, it really helps to know we're not alone and share the struggles and triumphs with each other doesn't it? Oooh yes nectarines too, and mangoes, I love them all! I hope you're having a good week and good luck on your weigh-in day :) xo

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

Thanks Rose - my focus is on that 12-week goal right now, that would be brilliant if I can do it. As I type this, I have ten days until the end of week 12, and next weigh in is due in a couple of days, so then I'll know what I have left to do to hit my 12-week target. It really helps knowing that I'll be reporting in with all of you guys and I know you'll be supportive no matter what, but I'd love to be able to let you all know that I hit the target :)

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

Thank you very much Jen, yes you're absolutely right. I'm focused on the 12-week goal now, that would be such a boost if I can get myself out of the red by then and it's a realistic aim I think :) xo

I've lost 94 lbs by losing very small amounts at a time. I find it is true loss rather than quickly losing bunches of weight fast only to gain it back every time. Be comfortable losing slowly ❤ it's more likely to be permanent. I have faith in you!!!!

Good job and you are doing it the healthy way. Every lb you lose if 4 lbs of weight off your knees which is also a great thing. Keep it up and you will need a whole new wardrobe.

Well done, "only" a pound? Just think of a pound of lard. Keep it up.

@artyfartyannie Ай бұрын

Thank you! hehe yes indeed - I've already dumped a shopping bag full of packs of lard, and looking forward to dumping a couple more bags full over the next few weeks. It's good to visualise it, works for me anyway :)
