Hello all..
Then we went back and said hey to Jase's mum and Paul and I was trying to talk to her with no voice. lol. didnt quite work. Had an afternoon nap this afternoon which recharged my batteries a bit, but woke up with an uber sore throat so have dosed myself up on pain killers.
Hope i dont put on any weight this week - will be gutted if i have. i would have liked to lose 1/2lbs really.
Im gonna try and take some photos and post them up on here soon for you all to see

Dashing through the snow...
been an ok day today. went for a walk in the rain this morning which was nice, and then me and jase had a late lunch at 3 after he had been to the dentist. had chunky vegeatble soup which was nice =], he had a gourmet burger and chips and onion rings which was bout 2000 kcals! a whole days worth of calories! lol - and he said he could eat another no problem! glad he didnt mind you!
i used all but 1/2 a point today, which I think is good going - had a chocolate maleaster bunny and a bag of jelly tots in that too :D HAD THE MOST HUMUGOUS PILE OF PEAS FOR DINNER :D woopwoop! with a WW pizza which was quite nice but needed peppers on it.
Mumma's bday and first weigh in tomorrow. I am looking forward to it and a bit worried. I am not gonna stay for the meeting, but I am going to go and have my weigh in, and then I will go home and cook dinner for mumma. Staying at Jase's again tonight as he doesnt have work in the morning, and hoping that he will drive me back and stay at mine tomorrow night so that we can have a good night with mumma for her birthday. she is going out with nanny and granfer tommorrow to sidmouth for the day - so cannot wait to surprise her when she gets back.
just had a shower, so gonna dry my hair and then get off to bed i think
love you loads mumma
speak to you all tomorrow at some point - will let you know how the weigh in went for def though!!
ciao for now
Sami xxx
p.s. congrats to jays mumma for losing a pound this week :D xx love you xx
Sunday's blog/...
Was going to go out to dinner with Mumma - but she said ' what do you want', kinda upset me a bit as I said I was paying as her birthday treat cos I didnt know what else to get her. But in the end I really didnt feel like it, cos i felt like death warmed up and so I went and stayed at Jase's in the end. Bit of comfort food made me feel a bit better, and then I curled up in bed early, and went to sleep - hence why i didnt blog.
Feel much better this morning, and happy because Jase has got the day off so we can spend some time toegther which is fab :)
will speak to you guys again later

I ate all my points today :D - hope your proud Rach!
Had weetabix for breakfast
Had marmite on toast for lunch
Had homemade beer and beef stew with jacket potato and kale for dinner
Had homemade rhubarb and apple crumble with reduced fat custard for dessert
Loving the menu today, really enjoyed it. Cannot wait to cook something new for dinner tomorrow! Loving the cook book - thankyou for lending it to me Rach (my mumma in law =]) and for being so supportive and giving me the pedometer and the calculator as well as letting me read countless magazines and giving me tips!
Been out and about most of the day doing shopping and bits and pieces with mumma, but have played on the Wii for a bit too.
Hope you are all well,
I am going to snuggle up in bed with my other half now, maybe catch some tv or watch a bit of sport relief. Thankyou to all that have donated, but please please please keep doing it!

First day on the diet and it is looking good =]
Played on the Wii for about and hour and a half today - my fav game on the sports resort is the sword fighting, and I get RIGHT into it, not just using my arms lol. I think that is it better that way :)
Tonight I cooked Jay and me dinner:
Roast peppers
Butternut squash chips
Peas
Chicken breast ( for him) and 2 quorn fillet (for me)
I then had some birthday cake and a WW pudding for pudding whilst Jay ate and entire tub of profiteroles. He is being really supportive about this whole diet. I love him to bits. One thing I have noticed is that I am experiencing a lot of gas :/ is this worrying? lol
Anyways, on that thought I am going to say good night
Speak to you all tomorrow.

oops...
However,
for the purposes of this fundraiser I will therefore use the starting weight that I have at WW which is 16,11.
Thankyou to those who spotted that.... I am truly living up to my blonde nature..x x xxppxx
First Weight Watchers Meeting went with a bang :D
Went for my gym induction today and then stayed in the gym for an hour afterwards, and then went for a 15/20 mins swim, but was knackered and my arms were about to drop off, so I stopped there. I then came home and watched some NCIS with Mumma, and then I set up my Wii which had arrived! Balance board, wii speak, wii fit and just dance have not arrived yet though. and been told that the balance board might not arrive till next month which is a bit sh*t! Oh well. Then Char popped over which was nice = lovely to see her again and I needed a bit of her love and attention anyways!
Going up to Malvern to spread Great Grandad's ashes on the moors tommorrow, which will be nice, but I am not really looking forward to the car journey as I am going to be in the back and I get REALLY car sick. Oh well, see what I can do for it.
Am pretty damn knackered tonight, but that meeting has really made me keep fighting for this, and as it is a 10 mins walk there and 10 mins back, that is another 20 minutes of walking that I am going to do on a Tuesday night. Meeting is at 6.30 every week, and is held at Isca College if anyone wants to come along - it is brilliant! They have a shop there for all the WW stuff too, so you can do most of your bits and picees and some food shopping there too. I am going to get the pedometer next week!
Anyways friends, off to bedfordshire in a bit
Hope you are all well

What a lovely swim to finish the day off
Have tried to do a fitness plan to stick to now, in order to make sure I am getting some exercise throughout the week:
1 x exercise class
2 x swim (45-60 mins)
2 x gym session (45-60 mins)
1 x exercise bike session at home (20 mins)
I also plan to use the Wii fit for a minimum of 30 mins every day, so I hope that this will help :D
What did I eat today then?
For breakfast I had three slices of toast with marmite, banana and 2 petit filous
For lunch I had 3 slices of turkey with plate of salad and some lentils
For dinner I had a huge plate of mixed vegetables, and a WW mushroom pie, and a couple bits of turkey breast again. Followed this with a glass of orange juice and a WW yoghurt.
Then I went for my swim, and was STARVING, so I nipped into boots and got some granola and dried apple.... less than 100 kcals a bag and SOOOO filling!
Loved it!
Anyways, I am now snuggled up in bed after a long hard day of running about doing jobs. Big day tomorrow - gym induction, first weight watchers meeting, and even though I cant think of it now (im going senile) there is another thing in my diary too lol.
Time for sleep I think :D
Sleep well my dears

Cream cake is the BAIN of my life...
I am knackered after today, doing nothing is really really tiring!! I didnt do much exercise today :( was gonna go for a swim, but it was too late in the end after Nanny and Granfer went home. Oh well - have lots to do tomorrow, and I will hopefully go for a swim tomorrow. I ordered the Wii, Wii Fit Plus and Just Dance today, so that should come within the next few days hopefully. I also reserved an exercise ball online, so that I can pick that up tomorrow. they say that it is better to sit on that instead of your computer chair cos you are constantly using your muscles to sit up straight, so I am going to try that.
Not too hungry tonight, but no doubt now I have said that I will become hungry. Oh yea, I redied my hair this afternoon - so no more roots, and I am proper blonde again now :) yay!! fumes nearly killed me though
I would just like to say a huge thankyou to all my friends that are supporting me through this, it is sosososo worth it when I see how proud people are of me for doing it, and I can promise that I will do this.
By the way I am going to be doing my final weigh in on 1st December 2010, which gives me about 7 months to lose the weight. Like I said before, I want to lose a minimum of 3 stone (ahhhh!!) but I want to lose more. I would really like you to support me through this. It nice to see comments to keep me going! I know you have to sign up for an account, but please do, it doesnt take long and it means so much to me!
I am going to snuggle up in bed in a minute because I am very knackered tonight. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONATE.
Love
Sami xxxx
Mother's Day Morning...
We are just waiting for roast dinner now - looking forward to it, am starving! Having new potatoes instead of roast potatoes, which will be nice, and I hope I can steal lots and lots and lots of vegetables =]
Was really hungry last night when I went to bed, Jase was an angel though, and told me that I needed to stay strong, and I didnt go and get anything to eat. I am glad I didnt though.
I am using Orlistat, Fat Metaboliser Tablets, and I am trying some weight loss patches too which try to reduce your appetite and stop you from wanting to eat all the time. Hope they work. I am looking forward to seeing how much I have lost when I go to WW on Tuesday. =]
I had two Weetabix with skimmed milk and a banana. And then I had two frubes because I was still hungry, but that filled me up.
Just said goodbye to Jase, he has gone home to spend the dday with his Mumma. I havent seen her in a while, so would be nice to see her again soon. Talking about food I am really hungry now... I wonder when lunch will be ready lol.
Anyways, I am going for now, need to do some bits and pieces before lunch time... I have just been told that its 1 oclock lunch :( HUNGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY
Speak later my friends xoxoxoxox

Lovely day out...
Went to Tesco's this evening with Mumma, and bought loads of healthy foods, loads of vegetables, lean meat and that sort of stuff. So hopefully it will be easier to eat a bit healthier when there is nice food in the house. Bought some WW's youghurts to give a go at, so will report back on how nice they are.
Dinner this evening was chicken breast with tomato sauce and some herby potatoes and peas, which was quite nice, however I could have eaten two or even three portions of it quite happily! Instead I filled myself up with a banana, hige handful of grapes, and a small homemade raspberry and cranberry muffin. I figured it was best to eat at least one decent meal today - seeing as I didnt have any breakfast this morning.
I am pretty knackered tonight, so slumping off to bed with the other half now. Looking forward to getting some shut eye, hope I dont have another nightmare tonight - I have to be up in the morning to make breakfast for Mumma.
Thankyou all for following me on this journey - please leave comments, cos I kinda feel like I am just going insane and talking to myself.
Hope you are all well
Sami xxx
And so the struggle continues...
Didnt sleep too well last night - keep having nightmares (been about 3 weeks now) and keep waking up in the morning soaking in sweat.... eww eww eww... still, on the positive side, people go to clinics to sweat out the fat dont they - so maybe I am losing weight overnight without doing anything?! lol
I am doing some jobs around the house this morning, and then me and Jay are going to Torquay for a walk around the shops, and going to have a lick of his icecream ;)
Speak to you all later,

Knackered is not the word for it...
But I got on with the day and went to the lesiure centre to get this free 7 day pass.. but when i got there, she wasnt ready, and she was pretty damn rude tbh. Anyways, after 30 mins I got the pass, and booked my induction for 12.30 on Tuesday. Am looking forward to this. :)
So I didnt get to use the gym or go swimming today, but still a step in the right direction.
I then went and did some jobs for mum, and stopped in at Clic Sargent in St Thomas. They gave me some telephone numbers in order to get some fundraising kit which I will call about on Monday. Also found out that CS is Tescos charity of the year, so making an appointment to see the mananger at Exeter's one tommorrow hopefully.
Then I got home and baked fresh brown rolls, cranberry and raspberry muffins, and some prune crunch - had a use up of all the older stuff in the cupboards ready for the new diet starting Tuesday! Very very excited. WW forums are really interesting to read, and there are some good recipie ideas on there too :)
I am really grateful for those who have joined my blog, and hope that everyone will donate something - even if it is 10p or £10.. it all helps. I am trying to get sponsorship too (dont remember if i have written that before lol )
Anyways, I am going off to bed now, bf is over and he is supporting me wholeheartdly, which is FAB. couldnt do it without the people who are looking out for me. Please please please email this blog to anyone you know, I dont mind if they dont know me, because it is all about the charity... not about me.
Thankyou all once more, and I will speak to you some time tomorrow
Lots of love
Sami xx
Morning all =]
Good news is that family have pretty much said that they will support me through this, and probably eat all of the meals for it too... as long as it is 'edible' apprently.... thanx mum... lol
Going to go and make myself a nice bucket of tea now, and a bowl of porridge. Sounds good to me.
Pleae donate everyone! I wanna raise lots of money for this charity. Which reminds me - I need to go and get a fundraising pack from them later!
Speak later no doubt!

Sorry there is so many posts today!
So anyways, tomorrow I have an appointment with a gym because I have got a free 7 day pass with them, so I can go and pick it up and start using it tomorrow. Appointment is at 12.30, so I think I will take my gym kit and go to the gym after the consultation, and then I will go for a swim after if the pool is open for public swims then - need to check that out. Going to keep hunting for free passes for gymming and swimming in Exeter and nearby, and I am going to register for Weight Watchers Monthly, so that it works out a bit cheaper, and apparently I have a free starter pack with that too, which is always good. My boyfriend's mum goes to WW so it will be nice to have a chum to talk to it all about. Think I must try out the WW forum too.
This is all from me tonight, I am going to snuggle up in bed and carry on reading my book - "My Sister's Keeper". Sad, and highly poignant to the situation too.
Hope I raise some money soon!
Lots of love,
a very hungry Sami xx

Hello and Welcome to the beginning of my challenge, and my blogging life..
Basically, I am overweight. It does not take a genius to work this out. However, there is more to it. I want to do something with my life that is worth writing about, and I am hoping that this might be the first thing in my life which I could put under this heading.
I am unable to explain the situation to you all properly due to this being a sensitive issue to the family but what I will tell you is that the person I am supporting lives a long way away from me , so I am unable to see them as much as I would like, but this weight loss challenge gives me the perfect opportunity to say thankyou to the charities that are helping them, and actually do something positive towards this whole situation. The charity that I have chosen supports people like the one I am supporting, and without them, we would not be having the support that we have at the moment.
I plan on blogging every day in order to keep you all updated on what is happening with my challenge, and possibly some information about how well he is doing.
I am going to lose weight. Finally. After 19 years. I am GOING to do it. For him. And for ME.
I am going to set a few rules to this challenge, so that everyone knows what they are getting themselves into:
- I can lose weight using any methods apart from surgery
- I will be joining Weight Watchers in order to help me keep on track, and to have my weekly weigh in
- I will keep you all updated on this blog (please follow me and comment, otherwise I am going to feel like a right twaddle)
- I would like to raise money for Clic Sargent
- I am going to be accepting donations from ANYONE :)
I would like people to donate loose change/per pound I lose/or just a donation towards my battle with the flab!! (at the end of the day, I am going to have to laugh about this, otherwise I am going to cry...)
I have not set up an online account at the moment, because I want all the money to go to charity, instead of the website taking a premium - but I am looking into finding a free one - if anyone knows of one please let me know.
However, if you would like to donate.....
please send me a cheque in the post: (please make it out to me, and I will do a big cheque to the charity in the end)

Anyways, seeing as I am trying to post everyday I will stop boring you now, and I will write back tomorrow..
Thank-you all once again
