Congratulations

[mandy72]

thanks everyone

my daughter was doing the weigh station last night so thought she was joking when she said 4 1/2, its taken over 20 weeks to get this half stone but i know what to eat this week to get another good loss next week

my biggest loss so far has been 4 lbs so i smashed it last night

[Sternenlicht]

Congratulations. Keep it up. How much do you want to loose in total?

I'm also having some success with weight loss next week I hope to reach one stone weight loss.

[mandy72 in reply to Sternenlicht]

thank you, i need to shift about another 6 stone (not all thyroid im sure)

you doing slimming world too?

good luck

[Sternenlicht in reply to mandy72]

No I'm not doing slimming world just doing it myself. I've been walking more gradually increasing daily steps in January I was averaging 4000 steps a day last week was averaging 8000 a day. Also have cut down on snacks, alcohol and portion sizes. I needed to loose 3 1/2 stone when I started. It was really hard with little results in the first three months but it's become more of a habit now and I'm more focused

Best of luck

[mandy72 in reply to Sternenlicht]

sounds like your doing really well, my steps daily is about 2000 now, a few months ago i was lucky if i reached 1000

we find at SW that alcohol is one of the worst for weight gain (i dont drink so wouldnt know)

eggs veg and fruit heped me this week i ate lots and it worked

good luck and im sure beffore you know it you will have reached your target

[Rapunzel]

Well done Mandy. Have a good week and forge on x

[mandy72 in reply to Rapunzel]

im going to try and eat what i did last week

i have a 12 week journal so everything gets written down at the time of eating

ive allso increased thyroid meds as was very under medicated so im not sure what helped really

[Rapunzel]

It must be good to see things moving in the right direction, tho and when you're optimally medicated it should be easier. I very much admire your perseverance; you must be starting to notice your clothes getting looser now. One fine day I will have a go...

[mandy72 in reply to Rapunzel]

20 weeks to get from my stone to stone and half

i was allmost at he point of giving up but this has given the boost i needed, my son was so pleased to hand e that award and sticker you could really see it in his face

ive been wearing elastic waists for so long now its not noticable, i guess i should get the tape measure out and get measurements, but my undrwear is starting to fall down lol so i guess my bum is losing first
