Hi, Well Done with your weight loss efforts everyone!

I go to Slimming World and since the start of the year I've lost 10lbs according to their scales and 15lbs according to my scales - so pretty pleased with that.

One of the draw-backs with SW is that it can focus on filling up with carbs, but I keep them quite low and fill up on protein and "speed" foods, which are basically veg and fruit - although I have to watch what fruit I eat. I'm trying to follow a lower carb diet - 150g a day - rather than a low or very low carb one, and this seems to be working for me.

Still at least another three stone to go - but sure and steady is my motto. I get weighed at SW on a Monday evening, so will try and update on Tuesdays.

Well done Helen, you're doing great! 🙂 I'm settled on around 150g a day, wouldn't want less, couldn't eat more! 🙂
 
I lost another 1 1/2lb this week 🙂
 
Wow! Got weighed last night at SW - lost 4 lbs this week. So far this is my best loss in one week. Feeling pleased with that. BMI now 33.4. Also 3 cm off my waist since the start of the year.

Excellent progress Helen! 🙂
 
It's not my 'official' weigh day but I'm cockahoop because for the first time in four decades I'm in the 14stone range. :D
 
Sadly only 0.5 lb off this week at SW

But I had to treat a bad hypo at 1am this morning.

But on the plus side I did get Slimmer of the month, with 12.5 lbs off in February
