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!

SW Race For Life

So today was the day. 

Powered through horrific rain and did race for life organised by our consultant Tori. Haven't got a final found raising amount as yet but super proud we managed to finish it despite the horrible weather!

Progress

I finally tried on a Lindy Bop dress tonight that I bought about 6 months ago. I was devastated when it was too tight and knew that I would be happy once I could get it on and be able to breathe. I took the plunge last night and safe to say I was ecstatic when it fit easily. It's not perfect but its a lot closer to where I want to be.
The photo on the right was just before starting SW, the one of the left was last night. Only 19lbs difference but you can see it doesn't pull tight on my stomach anymore and generally fits better all over. I can't wait to wear it to a party. It's definately given me the pick me up I needed!

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!

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!

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!

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?
