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

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.

Sternenlicht in reply tomandy72

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

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

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

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... :)

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
