- Not doing so well this week - but I'm determined to focus extra hard for the next few days, aiming to lose two more pounds by the end of week 12 and get myself out of the obese zone at last! :)
Thank you as always for all of your amazing support, it really means the world to me, and I'm sending positive vibes to all my fellow travellers - here's to a great week xo

Glad you are not worried about a week of staying put on the scales and are more determined to get moving again this week. I am sure you will have results next week. Good luck💕
Thank you Liz, yep I'm keeping my mind's eye looking forward, no point beating myself up over what I can't change, need to focus on what I CAN change. Thank you for your continuing support, I really appreciate it :) xo
You can do this! Focus on the outcome! I’m cheering for you! ❤️
I've got my eyes on the prize Rose, every time I feel like a little treat or can't be bothered getting out for my walk, I'll think of how amazing it would be to get out of that red zone and share the moment with all of you lovelies, thanks again for all the support :) xo
Keep going Annie slow and steady, stay healthy, happy and positive. x 💐
Thanks Jen, I'm going to hold those words in my head this week, mustn't let myself feel discouraged - onwards and upwards, inch by inch. thanks for the encouraging words :) xo
I put on a couple of pounds two weeks ago I then put down everything I ate and was shocked at what I was eating. So now I make sure I enter everything and work out what I can eat for dinner. Also stepped up my walking with the hot weather I go out really early and again in the evening. Now lost the couple of pounds I had gained. Only ten more to go. Please don’t feel discouraged as it was you that encouraged me to get back to it. ❤❤❤
Well done Pippa, you're well back on track and your goal is within sight, that's brilliant! ah yes, I know I daren't stop recording everything, because the minute I think I can wing it, I lose control very quickly - if I'm writing it all down, it makes me control my portions and stop to think whether I really want that extra snack and if it's worth the calories. Hoping that at some point my habits will have changed so that I don't have to record it all for the rest of my life, but for the moment I definitely need to. Good idea to walk early and late, when it's still fine but a little cooler and less people about. Have a great week :) xo
Same here, this week, Annie. It happens some weeks and usually the following week's loss is much better. You will be out of that red category next week, I'm sure, so keep going! ❤
It's a bummer isn't it, Kari, but I'm attacking this week with renewed determination as I'm so near that 12-week goal, we just need to keep on going as you say - we CAN do this!! Have a great week xo
Hallo, dear friend! I've seen you and you look amazing, Kari!! So proud for both of you - 2 of my very favourite artists! I am cheering you both on with all of my love! xoxoxo
Hi, Annie! Hang in there, sometimes we all have a difficult week. I had one: my weight went up 1.1 pound American. I came down with poison ivy last Monday, and had to get a Prednisone injection plus a round of Prednisone pills to take. This is yucky because it makes me gain weight, makes me sensitive to the sun, and makes me feel icky when trying to exercise indoors (like on my spin bike). Some stressful things also happened, and I ate some treats I should not have had. ☹️ But, it’s time to look forward, as you said. Maybe I can make this new week a better one. Keep up your good work and good cheer, Annie! You are helping us, as well as helping yourself, on this path to better health.
Hugs,
Lynn from Hallsville, Missouri USA
Oh my word Lynn, you've been in the wars! i hope you're feeling better now - I don't think we get poison ivy here, but I know people who've had to take prednisone and suchlike so I know it's no fun. Look after yourself, and keep moving forward - we're in this together and it will be worth all the hard work in the end. I'm feeling extra determined this week to hit my 12-week mini goal, that would be an amazing. Have a great week Lynn and see you soon :) xo
Halloooooo, darling! You can say "we" because we are all behind you on this journey, my love! I am happy that you look so bright and cheerful. You'll get there, Annie! You'll do it, I have every faith in you, dear friend. Hang in there and don't blame yourself. Lightly, child, lightly - right? Be gentle with you because we all adore you and we are cheering you on! Much love and bless xoxo
Ah thank you so much LIndsey, you are a sweetie. Honestly it makes SO MUCH difference to me, knowing I have my gang of cheerleaders with me, sharing the struggles as well as the triumphs. Extra determined this week, it would be brilliant to hit that mini-goal by the end of this week and share theachievement with all of you, I'm keeping that picture in my head and keeping going :) xo
@@artyfartyannie Onward!!! lol Make yourself go out and walk, my friend. It has done wonders for me. I am on my feet all day at the hotel. I never sit down - I've a fake hip on my left and a fake knee on my right. We've high chairs to sit on behind the Front Desk. But it hurts for me to get up and down as often as we have to. I don't want anyone to see that on my face and think I am bothered by their request. So, no sitting for me. Even in my office, I stand. My downfall is not always eating properly. And, i get off work very late and often eat after work and before bed. A big no-no at our age. I walk everywhere. To the shops and just all over on my days off. I've found it to be really helpful. And, you're in England, Sweet Girl! Ha I'd give anything to be able to walk places there! :) I so wish I could come home! I'd get you out and moving about! lol oxoxoxo
You’re doing great Annie, yep we all have those weeks we stay the same, this is ok. Me I’ve not walked as well sick, plus’s rain that is sideways and you can’t see the gate then brr snow! Ah still poor Cleo is supper restless thankfully a friend has offered to walk our little darling when it’s fine she pops around and out they go supper nice but well this old dog needs a walk too! lol you’ve got this week. The ice cream sounds not to bad might give this a try in the summer well if we have a supper hot day.
Thanks Paula, hope you're feeling better by now, I'm catching up on comments I missed somehow! It's still cold and rainy here too, although we're in midsummer, weird weather this year :)
Hi Annie don’t let it get you down, you’re get there. I have been the same for 3 weeks but we just have to carry on and we shall get there. Sending you a big hug please keep smiling 💖💖💖🌹
Thank you , I will keep going and stay positive, learn from last week but keep looking forward, that's the ticket I reckon, it's all part of the process of change, and it's been a big change already. We'll get there, inch by inch and it will be SO worth it! Have a good week :) xo
I love this series, fantastic work Annie ☺☺
Yay, thank you Chantelle :)
This heat can make you retain fluid Annie. It’ll show next week . My scales showed a gain but I know it’s not because I’ve eaten badly . We can do this 😅
Thanks Lisa, yes you're right, we will get these fluctuations, we mustn't let it put us off our goal - eyes on the prize, we CAN do it!! Have a good week :) xo
Looking great Missus what a difference you look so happy and healthy
Ah thanks Jacquie - I do feel a lot better since that first BFD video, and even having a week where I've stayed the same I still feel good about it all, I know I'm on the right track now and there's light at the end of the tunnel - even though it may be quite a long tunnel :D xo
Good luck on your weight journey
Thank you Pam :) xo
Baby steps. You are doing great 🎉
Thank you 🤗Yes, although I want to take giant seven-league strides, baby steps will get me there in the end :)
@@artyfartyannie I totally understand. I am the same way
You are doing great, you probably know this,but plenty of water really does help weight loss,don’t know how it works, but it does 😊xx ❤
Thanks Mandy - yes I must up my water intake, I'm not great at that, I just forget :)
