My journey - Update

**www.thelast120lbs.com** www.youtube.com/thelast120lbs**

So the Christmas Period is over and here comes the new year.

the anticipation of the new year, many of us.. well actually 90% of us starting a list of New years resolutions. Making an oath to mak ethe coming year better than the last. guaruntee that most of these resolutions will be one of the following.

Lose Weight, Stop Smoking, Get In Shape, make More Money or try to develop of change a part of who we are. I am going to do a blog purely about goal setting etc so please look out for that, but anyhoo.

new year is approaching. i completely over done it at christmas was so proud of myself the week running up to christmas as i got below 16st and after the festivities. i am now back up to 16st6 so 8lbs... i think alot of it is because i have eaten alot of carbs and they dont really agree with me and start my IBS off. But i am not going to make an excuses. Was my choice to eat it. And now its up to me to make the changes to get back on track and i started today.

When the kids were eating breakfast i done my TEA CUP run.

You place 6 cups atthe top of the stairs, Start at the bottom and run up collect a cup, then run back down and repeat that untill you have collected all the cups.

sounds easy hey! but its not hahaha.

I completed mine in 1 min 38.06 secs.
then I done 2 sets of 10 press ups and same for sit ups.

So tomorrow my plan is to beat my time for Tea cup Run and increase my sets by 2 each. so 2 sets of 12.

I Will let you know how i get on.

Big Loves and Hugs.

So,in 6 sleeps its christmas... Aaaarrrrggggggghhhhh

No seriously, i am very excited as its my favourite time of the year.I am very much a family orientated person and love the whole ambience surrounding Christmas (more so than my own birthday). The Hot cocoa, and fire burning as you unwrap your presents and give thanks to our lord.

Not alot of people give thanks for Christ on this day even though its all about him. people have lost the real sense of christmas and falling into the trao of Commerciality of the day. (me included in the past0 you cant help it really when its all thats on TV hey? just as long as people give thanks to the good things in life and have a warm heart at this time of year i dont mind. i mean jeez. I love getting pressies as much as the next person.

Dear santa i would love to have a brand new Herbalife branded mini cooper this year please haha. (i shall pinch myself if that happeneds)

the REAL reason i am wanting to talk about christmas is the eating side of things.

I am going to post some tips for xmas. and hope that it helps everyone as it has done for me.

Please look out for those.

Things have been going really well i have been feeling full and satisfied so no outrageous eating the past week so i am really proud of myself for that.

So FAT LOSS, and Weight loss should be certain on monday but younever know hey. hehe.

bigs Hugs to all.

Day 15- Tuesday

Oh My what a day yesterday was.

Tuesday 4th November.

Breakfast i had a strawberry and banana shake. and then for a snack at about 11am i had 1 ginger biscuit. For lunch i had a late one... but a shake which was the same as breakfast which i had whilst the kids ate at asda cafe before our weekly shop.

You know when you go to the supermarket, and there is that ONE child SCREAMING!!!!!!! and its so high pitched and goes through you to the point where you get a head ache... sound familier...

Well yesterday... was my son joseph!!!!

the little Monkey!!!

He hadnt slept all day and was kinda off it anyway and was screaming the whole way around one old guy told him to shut up... i was seething haha. Anway, as soon as i picked him up he fell asleep in my arms so i laid him down in the baby seat of the trolley. and went along and finished the shop.

I bought fresh fruit and vegetables and quorn products for me and meat was for the rest of the tribe. i have just had 400g of pineapple actually YUMMY! can you believe a weekly shop set us back £70... its ridiculous.

this has become one of my main reasons to carry on doing what i am doing purely because i want my family Never to live on the breadline again i know how hard it can be and we are still struglling a little but i tell you what not even a fraction as bad as what we were like 3-4 years ago.

Its a long road to the final life i want to lead with my dear family... but we will get there. and i am glad and honoured to be sharing it all with you guys.

I have been doing tonnes of thinking and my direction in life and have never been clearer i talk about this on a post i done on youtube about 10minutes ago... check out http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=yF7ItRIeYxg

also follow my progress on there too.

but untill next time...

BIG HUgs and prosperity.

Day 13 - Sunday

It is now 9.25pm and i am feeling relieved today is over because it has been a stressful and emotional day.

Firstly we had a very early start we were all out of the house by 7.40am and we went out to my mums to do the horrible task of taking my family to the airport... to sum up how i felt is... Heartbroken.

Little princess Sophia smiled for me first. i was holding her and she SMILED a real smile. and she is only 2 weeks old. i am glad i ahve had 2 weeks with her but so wished we had longer... say 18 years hehe. I am missing Pascal already her and Sasha have been like my sisters.

so what we are planning on doing is going over next year maybe for my birthday or for Gabriella and Sasha's birthday in April.

i have figured out we need to save £3500 so lets see how that goes aye.

so My family have left to go back to the states we got home at 1pm and then Marks mum, sister and neice came for lunch and stayed till about 7.30pm.

for lunch we had sausage potato and peas... I had Quorn Sausage as i am a veggie... was lovely though.

I feel over the place so i apologise for switching topics every line. haha.

But good day diet wise 1 shake 1 meal and a few ginger biscuits so fingers crossed it finishes this way.

BIG HUGS!!!

Bxxx

P.S Tomorrow is weigh day and DAY 14 ALREADY.... xxx

Day 12 - Saturday

Saturday was a lovely, yet rushed day.

we were in a rush so i didnt get a chance to have a shake. We went to town and sorted out marks computer. he picked his favourite. and was messed about something chronic by the people at PC world in Wakefield... so dont go there people. because they rip you off haha.

he had to go all the way to beeston, leeds in the end ... poor thing.

we met uip with my in-laws for lunch and they all ate fish and chips... I RESISTED!!!! and bought a salad and a tuna baguette from next door i was very proud of myself for that.

After town we went to my mums to spend the last day with my amazing Cousin Pascal Baby sophia and my auntie nikki, we also got to see my Granny and Grandad smith who are related to me by marriage.

So we had a great day and didnt leave untill about 11pm.

GOOOOOOOD DAY!

Day 11 - Friday

I was so busy on friday i had shoots allday so i didnt pick... but i didnt have time for breakfast either so i didnt eat untill i got to Asda with one of my dear friends and business partner in Lipstick Photography. Emma. we had dinner there i had a jacket potato with the most mingin tuna on it i have ever tasted. and a side of chips... yes i know naughty naughty.

Then for tea i had a gorgeous salad and my mums.

didnt pick much in the evening that i want i am aiming on keeping under control.

Friday = good but tiring day.

xx

Day 10 - Thursday

Thursday was a completey different day to wednesday.

I had my shake for breakfast. and a normal lunch and tea. as i am waiting for my delivery so only enough formula 1 for one a day.

I had the most amazing chat with my best friend Ben. and he really helped me seem rational about the issues i have had regarding my v-blogs... one of the reasons i have taken a couple of days off my blog so now i have now had a chance about where i want to take this and where i want to take my life.

Soooo... Thursday was a good one.

xxxxxx

Day 9 Wednesday

Wednesday was a good day up at till mid afternoon.

I feel energised and full of life. the products i am using are just amazing. they keep me full, satisfied and not craving anything. so as i say

AWESOME Day...

Untill i got home in the evening and i had a bit of a bad attack with the bulimia... i went to town earlier in the day and heard some nasty comments from some youngsters and was thinking about them and stupidly reached for a 500g galaxy bar. (with 2 lines gone) and took it to bed as i was feeling sorry for myself.

all of it gone, not because i was hungry... i wasnt... i dont think i even enjoyed it to be honest... but bulimia is hard to explain. you get these "feelings" and they kind of take over.

so yeah. not such a good evening.

But today is Thursday Day 10. and i am feeling optimistic and will try not to let you guys down again.

B xxxxx

Day 8 Tuesday

Tuesday went well. I had my shakes as planned, a few snacks and lots of water.

generally a success I Have LOST 2lbs this week and im a happy girl xxxx

Day 7 Monday

So I have been on this new 120lbs journey for a week. and i have officially lost weight so i am feeling gooooooooooooooooood.... not as much as i wanted to but something is better than nothing.

I was 16.12 and i am now 16.10 so TWO Lbs GONE wooop Woop.

i will measure myself later and put the results in my next blog.

Yesterday was an awesome day nothing to report which needs to change i had 2 shakes and i have a snack of melon, mango and pineapple mix.

and then a gorgeous vegetable casserole style dish. and a line of galaxy. THATS iT!!!

How much does This diet rock... even though i had things i shouldnt of this week. HERBALIFE! STILL HELPED ME LOSE 2LBS

Bianca is a happy girl

XXXXXX

Day 6 Sunday.

Yesterday was quite tough... or perhaps i need to be more tough on myself. i feel as though because i have outwardly spoken about my feelings and goals my bulimic feelings are creeping in alot. and i need to re-introduce my calming techniques i used to use... What do you think?

we spent the day at my mums to have our last day with my cousins partner before he leaves this morning .... in about an hour actually back to the states....what i had yesterday was ONE Herbalife shake,

a small peice of french baguette about 2 inch thick so small. and a peice of brie. and a cheese roll.

then our sunday roast i had 3 spoonfuls of caulifour cheese 3 roast spuds lots of green bean and carrots and 2 yorkshire puddings. and a 2nd of 2 scoopsof cauli cheese....is that bad?

i have an inch square of pudding i was proud of that... so when i look back at that its not too bad but when i woke up to get my son a bottle at 3am i could help myself and had a line of galaxy... i feel really guilty for that...i felt like i failed myself.

im trying to be rational and think thats not excessive amount just not the best choices,maybe.

So again monday is today and i have Already drunk 1 litre of water and had a shake and ill stay focused... i dont want to let you all down so i will do it... xxxxxxxxxx

Day 5 Saturday

So how about yesterday...

much of a muchness really.

i had my 2 shakes like planned. and had wholemeal pasta and vegetables and sauce for dinner. i was a bit naughty and had a snack of crisps and then after dinner watching X-Factor Mark my gorgeous Fiance bought me a twin pack of galaxy chocolate..

i gave 1 line to my little girl, Gabriella. and i broke up 2 lines and put it in the bowl for me... it lasted the WHOLE night and i didnt go back for more... THAT i was serious proud of...

I am going to my mums house for the last meal with my cousins boyfriend (sophia's daddy) as he goes home to USA tomorrow morning. we are having a sunday dinner ... obviously being a vegeterian i wont be eating the meat but i will do my best by picking the healthier option.. the test will be if there cauliflouer cheese... haha.

but i will fill you in later.

GOAl for today... 3 Litres of Water... and fruit for snacks instead of biscuits ...

WIsH ME LUCK xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Day 4- Friday

first of all let me apologise fornot writing yesterday about fridays day. The last couple days has been okay had some trials but also some triumphs too.

I had my Herbalife shakes and tablets they have continued to make me feel AMAZING!!!!...really loads of energy and general sense of wellbeing.

so breakfast i had a shake with 250mls of semi skimmed milk and a small banana blended it was lovely and think just like a milkshake should be haha.

mid morning i had a bowl of boiled veg and vegetable stock was YUM!!!

lunch another shake and mid afternoon i had a hand full of doritos and a small biscuits. not the best of snacks but i was proud of the fact i only had small portion of each instead of the whole packets... go me.

I have been doing well up untill dinner where we went to visit my new born neice, Sophia..


Isnt she gorgeous. and we had a dreaded takeaway. i had a bowl of vegetable curry without rice and had a naan bread with it and 1 popadom... even though i didnt exactly make a good choice i could of done a hell of a lot worse...

so i am trying not to beat myself up about it...

so Thats FRIDAY done xxxx

In terms of my weight loss today have been a good day and i am really pleased so far. It is 4pm. i know i have the evening to come but i feel strong and positive. I have had my 2 shakes so far and i got peckish so i had some steamed vegetables with veg stock.. it was really tasty. i think i may write down recipes and publish them online... what do you think?

My Journey... So far

Hey Everyone,

My Name is Bianca-Trish, i am 27 years old and live in west yorkshire with my fiance and 2 children. The reason i am here is to do a documentation of my weight loss.

Ever since I was a little girl around the age of 9 I have suffered from Bulimia Nervosa the eating disorder. I have been overweight all my life and went through extreme bullying right from nursery school through to high school, college and into the work place. To the point I tried to end my life 6 times in my teens, I found it extremely hard dealing with school, and social environments for over 17 years.

I was classed as clinically obese at only 11 and told I would not be able to have children easily because of Pcos when I was just 16. The only thing that has ever made me feel good about my self has been my music. I have loved singing, writing songs and poetry for as long as I can remember and doing this gave me a sense of security as you cant see music… no one can
ridicule you if they cant see you! That’s what I thought anyway.

When I was 18 I moved 150 miles away to South Devon with no friends or family I felt scared, alone, isolated and very depressed. I worked very part time at a local CO-OP 5 minute walk away, yet physically I could not walk up and down stairs let alone down the hill to the supermarket where I would pack shelves. So I would take a taxi twice a day spending nearly as
much as I earned.

I was at the biggest I have ever been weighing 29stone and wore a size 38 in dress, I had many health issues including osteoarthritis, IBS, PCOS, Manic depression, extreme menstrual cramps. One of the days after writing a new song I decided to take the plunge and send a demo tape off to some producers in the area. The following day to my surprise I had a phone call from an excited producer who was based over an hour away. He asked me to go as soon I could down to the studio to record as he said I had a lot of potential. So I took the day off work, travelled to his studio and was thinking that I could FINALLY be getting my break. My life may finally have meaning.

I walked up the path and knocked on the door shaking, I was soo anxious and excited at the same time. When he opened the door and realised who I was he looked me up and down then laughed in my face as he said “I wont sign you, your TOO FAT!” & slammed the door. I was heart broken I didn’t know what to do I froze I felt like my world was crumbling down around me and I could even run round to my mums house,.

I went back to my apartment with the intention to finish things once and for all. I sat looking at photographs and starting thinking about my mum and the amazing things she had achieved with Herbalife. My phone rang and it was my mum I started to cry and begged for her help. She sent some products and I started them straight away.

I felt a difference in my energy after only 2-3 days I even walked to work. It felt amazing. I lost an incredible 150lbs and many
dress sizes.

Today after taking a 5 year break to have my TWO CHILDREN after being told I would be able to naturally and getting engaged to my fiancé Mark. I have been back on the products since December 2007 and I have lost 80lbs…

so in total 230lbs and still counting and that is why i am here.
