It's working!!!

[Hennypenny1]

Hi, I actually started this weight loss plan on the 20th May '17 thinking to myself oh well let's try another diet! However, I am pleased to say I have actually lost 5 1/2 lbs in just under three weeks! I only weigh on a Tuesday morning whereas previously I weighed every other day which was disappointing, so looking forward to next Tuesday! My goal is to be able to fit in to a special dress that I bought for my nieces wedding 22nd July! Good luck to everybody else just starting out!

That's great, you are doing well. It is good to know that we all can lose weight. I think it helps new people to hear how new people are getting on. Keep going and good luck for Tuesday!

Thanks! It's nice to have other people to help and encourage you as you all know how difficult it can be to stick to a diet. How are you doing?

[EllaMidlands in reply to Hennypenny1]

I am doing okay at the moment, just losing some weight I gained on holiday.

[Hennypenny1 in reply to EllaMidlands]

Great good luck!

Thank you Rose. I have already checked my bmi which is way too high, plus I worked out my daily calorie allowance which is 1400 a day which I am pleased to say I am feeling comfortable with. I will have a look at the different columns you suggest. Bye for now.

Good luck , I need to lose three stone this year but I lose heart when I get stuck at a certain weight but this is a good and helpful way of keeping in touch with everyone.

Thanks! I have my dress hanging on my door so if I ever get tempted to have a biscuit or cake I just look at my dress and say no! It's still hard though! How are you getting on?
