September is a pretty important month for me. More specifically the first week in September is very significant.
Its three years this week that I embarked on the biggest change of my adult life: I walked into the Weight Watchers class that helped transform my life for the better.
This month I really don't want to set unobtainable goals that are impossible to achieve. My goal this month is to loose 4lbs. That averages at 1lb a week, completely attainable. Anymore than that I will welcome but right now that 4lb goal I am happy with.
This morning I had my weekly weigh in and for the first time in a very long time I hand on my heart had no idea what the scales would show as I had hubby hide my batteries for my scales. I was stressing my self out too much and became obsessed with weighing myself two or three times a day. Not healthy. Over the past 4 weeks I had lost only 2lbs (main reason this months goal is 4lbs!) even though I had tracked and been good I really hit a brick wall so went today expecting much of the same. I got on the scales and as my leader turned the scales round I saw 10st6.5lbs! My mind was trying to do the maths, while I knew it was more than the half a pound I was expecting I was just stunned. 2.5lbs!! TWO AND A HALF POUNDS off in one week!! That is the most I have lost in one week in 3 months!!
I am elated, I am hoping that is the end of my bodies plateau and we can get back on the train to goal. It just shows even when things get hard and you keep at it things will start moving again eventually!
So after my first week in September I am already half way through my goal. I am not counting chickens just yet as the half a pound looses may come back to bite me in the butt yet haha.

Monthly Weightloss - February 2015
February was a difficult month but I am still finishing it smaller than I started so I am happy with that. I left January 12st6lbs.
04/02/15 - 12st 4lb (172lb) - 2lb loss this week, I'd had an average week and was happy with a loss. I tracked and stayed within my allotted points
11/02/15 - 12st 3.5lbs (171.5) - 0.5lb loss this week, I had, had a really good week this week. I made a conscious effort to make sure I was doing things properly so was very disappointed to step on the scales and only see half a pound had been lost. I know its a loss but I really felt I deserved more. However, upon returning home the reason for the low loss became clear. *Ladies week* came and slapped my hard in the face.
18/02/15 - 12st 7lb (175lb) - 3.5lb gain this week. With *Ladies week* in full force, Birthday celebrations and Valentines this was never going to be a good weigh in. I was actually happy with this gain as I was expecting to gain more than I did.
25/02/15 - 12st 2lb (170lbs) - 5lb loss this week. Talk about finishing the month of with a bang. All week I had said that as long as I had lost my gain from last week I'd be happy. I tracked and pointed like I was new at this. With it being half term I wasn't out walking as much either. Stepping on the scales and seeing that I was a massive 5lb down was just amazing. I knew I was good but didn't think I had been that good!
Total weight loss for the month - 4lbs
Total weight loss for the year - 8lbs
Total weight loss overall - 105lbs
Even though February hasn't been easy I have still ended the month lower than I started. I have also got another half a stone off so got another silver seven in my book. I am now focused and ready to get into my new stone zone next month!

Monthly Weight Loss - January 2015
I figured instead of posting weekly update on whether I had lost or gained at my meeting I figured at the end of every month I would just upload it in one go, with a little summary of how I felt that week.
I feel like I have had a pretty good month. I am almost back to pre-Christmas weight so everything from here on out is my lowest ever weight!
I started this month on the 7th of January 2015 weighing 12st 10lbs (178lbs). That was my first weigh in after Christmas and I was up 5lbs from my last weigh in before Christmas. I was very happy with that as the week before I went back to class I was on damage limitation mode as my home scales was showing a 14lb gain!! No way did I want to walk back into class and be up by so much.
14/01/15 - 12st 8.5lbs (176.5lbs) - 1.5lb off this week. I was very happy with this as it was *ladies week* so I was expecting a gain or a STS as is my normal at that time of the month.
21/01/15 - 12st 7lbs (175lbs) - 1.5lbs off this week. Pleased again this week as we ate out twice this week so it just shows that with a bit of planning ahead and pointing properly you can still enjoy your self and loose weight. This weight loss also took my total overall weight loss back over that 100lb mark. Yay!
28/01/15 - 12st 6lb (174) - 1lb loss. I am happy its a loss as 1lb is still a good amount to loose in a week. I am trying to keep positive even though I wanted to loose 2lb this week to get me back down to my lowest pre-Christmas weight.
Total weight loss for the month - 4lb. I am very happy with this as we have only had 3 weigh ins since Christmas.
January has been a pretty easy month for me to stay in control. We've not really had any big events or family occasions to celebrate so its been easy to stay focused. I am ready for February and I am hoping for the determination to carry on through for another month.
