Unislim, slimming in Ireland, weekly classes and healthy weight loss units plan for men and women.

Hi everyone!

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels... Kate Moss is in a lot of hot water at the moment for those words. But, while I dont agree with the skinny part, I do believe that feeling slimmer and working towards my goal certainly feels makes me feel much better than a pizza ever did. As a former crash dieter, it does take a big mental shift to change my lifestyle. Its all about the little things for me now. Yes I did go out for a chinese at the weekend, but stopped eating when i was full. I did have an After eight mint following the meal - but ate only half of it. I've realised that every litte does indeed help. I did loose another two pounds last week, but was bold at the weekend so I may not loose any this week - and you know what? I dont care. There's always next week and the week after to make up for it. I'm just dusting myself off and starting the new week on a positive note. And if I can do it so can you!!

Take Care,

Elaine xx

Greetings Unislimmers!

I now hold in my hand a precious, hard earned stone! Two more pounds down this week so I'm delighted.. and if I had behaved myself and avoided the vino last night it might have been more - although I am back at the gym so i think I've earned it. And no pigging out the day after - the carb craving might be there but you gotta fight through it!!

The battle is far from over though, and the first stone is always the easiest, so must work harder from now on. I'm determined to loose another half stone by Christmas, and will be well on the way to my goal!

I can now tie up my motivational jeans -  i still have a muffin top, but hopefully not for long!

Best of luck to everyone this week, and remember to write down every single thing you put in your mouth on your tracker..

May the diet fairy wallop you on the head with her wand!

Chat soon,

Elaine.

Hi everybody!

Thanks for all the messages of support, it really helps stick to the plan!

Ohhhhhh I was so close, so so so close to hitting the stone weight loss this weigh in. Just half a pound more and I'd have been there. I suppose that will make me more determined for the next week, and keep me away from bold stuff... which is kinda difficult for a food addict like me!

I think I've the food part of this plan sussed, but the exersize is another thing. I just cant motivate myself to get off my ass and move. My gym is only around the corner so I've no real excuse but GOD the thought of wobbling around in front of all those skinny people... AGH!

I'm going to go Monday. Thats the goal fixed in my head. I have to start wobbling to stop wobbling I guess.

And to those of you who've reached the goal and fallen off the wagon - only jealous people tell you you've lost too much weight/your face is gone/you look gaunt etc. Many people will be threatned by the new you and put temptation in your way, (ah go on, sure its only one little piece of cake) but dont let that be an excuse for you to indulge.

Unless you've earned your units to do so through exersize of course!

Have a great weekend!

Elaine

Hurray!

Lost 2 more pounts last weigh in - hope to be down another 2 by Wed! The stone is in sight!

Hello Fellow Unislimmers!

Well after three weeks and half a stone weight loss I have to admit I took my foot off the pedal. But never fear, all is back on track! The most important thing I have realised is to take every day as it comes, and use my tracker!! Its still too easy to forget the little nibbles if you dont write it down.

Last friday was a difficult day for me. One Viewer to Ireland AM on TV3 took time out of his busy morning to text in that I looked like a beached whale - which is not very nice to see. Of course comfort eating has always been my downfall, but I resisted to take to the fridge. Habits like this can be hard to break but I'm getting there.

I think at this stage I've been on a diet for ten years. Crash diets that is. Its very easy to stick to fad diets when you see rapid weight loss.  But I've learned that the weight just piles back on when you go back to normal life. SO this is all about changing my lifestyle and re-education for me. I've had to throw away all the previous dieting notions I've had, and think this time it will work.

Slow and steady wins the race! I'll get there one pound at a time..

Take care,

Elaine Crowley.
