2 Stone Award!

Finally! It might have taken me 33 weigh ins and the most scenic route ever. But I got it. I finally hit 2 stone loss with SW. So happy today! Now to stay on track for next week! 

Also, I didn't expect 2 stone to look so different but the left pic is from when I started, the right is from Monday. I love my whole stance, I can tell I am finally learning to love myself again and it's an amazing feeling. Here's to a good week everyone!

   

Interim Target

Wanted to get to my interim before my holiday next Wednesday and I'm pleased to report I did! 

I'll be away for the next two weigh ins so lets hope my gain isn't massive!

1/2lb gain. Going for gold next week (which means 2lb)!

Half a pound gain tonight. Not happy but it's not the end of the world! Prepped my overnight oats as soon as I got home and now chilling with the new magazine and a brew before bed! Aiming for 2lb next week to get my interim target!! 

Positive thoughts! 

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. And I'm not going to do that!

Woman Of The Year - Nominated

I made a conscious decision 5 months ago to join a Slimming World group after a very long time of feeling fat and having little confidence in myself. I have only lost 20.5lbs with SW so far (34.5lbs altogether) but I am amazed at how much happier I am. I am now an active member in the group and help out when I can. I get so much inspiration from others in group and last night someone felt I was inspirational enough to nominate for Woman Of The Year, I'm still a little bit shocked but ecstatic at the same time that this has happened.

So thankyou, stranger!
Results next week!

Thursday Weigh In

I've maintained the past two weeks so safe to say I was ecstatic with a 3.5lb weight loss last night, giving me my Club 10, 1.5 stone award AND a little suprise of Slimmer Of The Week. Couldn't do it without my amazing group and consultant keeping me on track with fresh ideas and inspiration!

1.5lbs needed to get my interim target now!

Running out of room on my fridge!

Body Magic Awards

Added this to my collection last night. Might not have been the 1.5stone award I wanted but it's an award!
I'm loving getting back into the gym and actually loving going for a run. Set myself a few mini fitness targets and some events that I want to do next year. SW has given me the motivation to do it and I love it!

Monday Motivation!

Three sizes smaller. Yes three. I couldn't believe the difference. So glad I kept them as a comparison! 

1st 5.5 down. 1st 4.5 to go!

X

Body confidence!

I've never worn a bikini in my entire adult life, and I've bought this to wear this year in Javea. It's a size 12, it's my motivation. I can't remember the last time I was ever a proper size 12 so this is my target! 

What have you got to celebrate your target? A LBD? A bikini? A pair of jeans?

Documenting Progress

I was feeling a little deflated at only being at One Stone after 13 weeks. But then actually putting these up on the fridge and seeing it in front of me made me feel a lot better, slow progress is better than no progress and I need to realise that!

Feel Good

So far via SW I have lost 1 stone. It may have taken me a little while longer but I really don't mind. I often hid my stomach and that area as i've never been comfortable with it being on show. I wore long tops, floaty dresses and the like. It's amazing what losing a bit of weight can do. I still have a way to go but I can finally wear something like this and actually feel comfortable doing so. I love it.

One Stone.

Finally, it took me 13 weeks but I got there!
14lbs gone and not coming back!
I bought size 12 clothes for my holidays thinking I would have time to fit into them, and tried them on last night to see how far I have to go. I was in shock when they already fit! Just need to tone up now.

24lbs still to lose!

Week 12 - Where Am I Now?

Still to lose: 1 stone 10.5lbs

Inches lost: 7 overall


Gained a heep of confidence and actually starting to see a difference in my appearance which is giving me a boost.


Also got slimmer of the week last night for the first time!

Race For Life

Had a fantastic day at Race For Life yesterday, the comparison pic above really shocked me. The left is from the Manchester 10k last year and the right is from today. I actually weighed half a stone LIGHTER on the left hand picture but was obviously carrying it all in the wrong places, whereas now, I seem to have lost the inches where it matters and actually look slimmer than what I am. Anyone else noticed this?

Perseverance

I almost quit before I'd really started. 

I was ill my first two weeks with a chest infection. But today I finally got my half a stone award and I feel amazing. 

3.5lbs off. Just shows if you stick at it you'll get there. Don't give up.
