Yay, these snazzy jeans are proudly sat in my wardrobe! For the first time in nearly 4 years I have been able to buy a size 18 in jeans from New Look and I have made the most of it since I bought 3 pairs! (Thanks sis for the gift voucher for Christmas, I love my new jeans)
Ok I know this may not sound like a massive achievement to some of you but to me this is the holy grail of clothes purchasing!
I love them and I know they are not a size 8 .. but if we are honest its like having 2 size 8′s ….. one for each side!!
My eating has been back on track this week although the exercise has not really been what was planned it has made me more determined than ever to get my ass moving!
So my exercise targets for last week were:
- A minimum of 2 x 3 mile walks (min 6 miles total)
- Attend both hockey training sessions (junior with Beth & ladies = 180 mins)
- Hockey Match Saturday so need to play the whole match!
What exercise I actually completed this week:
- Walking – Nil
- 100 mins Hockey Match (we won 2-1!)
- No Hockey Training as it was snowing.
So how did I do?
- 1 lb
Total Weight Loss This Year:
8.5lbs
Total Loss (including last year)
4 Stone 8.5lbs
Next Week’s Exercise:
- A minimum of 2 x 3 mile walks (min 6 miles total)
- No Hockey training – Half Term
- Hockey Match Saturday so need to play the whole match!
No worries sis glad you achived more than just a clothes purchase! ! A mile stone eh! Well done xx
Thanks, from here on in I am aiming for New Look size 16!! lol
I’m sure the more you start to loos the more you become motivated because you really start to see the rewards and new jeans are a great reward. Well done and get walking. x
Thanks Sarah, i know it must sound sad about getting in those jeans but i almost cried! I am walking i am walking
I think it’s brilliant, not sad. I also know the exercise will help loads so get walking. xx
thank you honey, I am off tomorrow night for a walk/run (ok we both know it will be more walk than run) but i am looking forward to it
Well done! I think sometimes its the clothes size that matters more to us than the weight. Its nice to have more choice of clothes, and shops as we shrink. Xx
Thanks Karen, I certainly think your right! I have really struggled to find clothes that fitted as plus size never came in short length!
Woo Hoo! You Go Girl! Well Done! I cant wait to swap my 20′s for 18′s! x
it was such a lovely feeling to put them on and zip them up without tears and over hang! just fab!!
That’s brilliant news, I just-don’t-do-jeans but maybe one day I will. Wear them with pride xx
Thanks honey, i am honest i have lived in jogging bottoms for years! so it will be nice to get into something structured
I can’t wait to wear a pair of jeans again. It must be about 20 years since I last wore them! Well done on your loss and good luck for the coming week
xx

I said to my mate who was losing weight fast – get maternity jeans then you can make them tighter as you get smaller
Best of luck with the following week
