I'm a loser :)

I hadn't managed to get to my slimming club for the last 2 weeks as I was working the first week then the kids were sick last week. Well I went yesterday and lost another 4 pounds. So that's 16 pounds in 8 weeks so I was really pleased about that! I'd like to lose another 5 before Christmas which is definitely realistic. I can tell a difference in the way my jeans fit. I can't wait until it starts to become noticeable to other people, especially since I've not told many people I'm doing it. When people who don't know I'm doing Slimming World comment, then I know it's really showing as they aren't particularly looking for it. So I hope to be able to update after Christmas with news that I've met my mini target :) I'm really positive about doing the program this time around and don't find it difficult at all. I am never hungry as I eat a normal diet. In fact, I could even say that I'm enjoying it!

Congratulations! Sounds like all your hard work is paying off. I swear, after the holidays, I'm going back to my "slimming club!"

Way to go! Always nice when someone notices, when I did WW, they said people usually notice at about 25 lbs. Seems like a lot of work! Sarah lost 42 lbs. and her in-laws still haven't said anything. Kevin's lost 53 and people are just starting to say stuff. Kind of crazy. Sarah said it's like a roll of paper towels. When you take off a few sheets at the beginning, you don't notice, but as you get further down the roll, every few sheets you notice. When I told this analogy to Kevin, he said, "so, you're saying I'm just the Jumbo size roll of paper towels". No....but that is funny! Way to go, keep it up and keep us updated on your progress. Sorry about the novel.

Well done, you! I am doing Weight Watchers so it's game on - who can lose their 5lb first? (You know, the 5lb we'll lose before Christmas so we can put it back on at Christmas and lose it again in the new year!!)

J - I am so proud of you! I know that this is something that takes total dedication, so I admire you. I have lost almost 50 pounds since May. I know I have a long way to go still, but it DOES help when people notice. :)
