Well done on your loss Grovsey, I have not been near the scales recently, going to start Slimming World with my daughter on Wednesday.
 
Lost 2 lbs this week,after maintaining last week.🙂
Got my bronze Body Magic award. Ok it was only for managing 3 walking sessions a week for 6 weeks,but I felt as delighted with that after 3 years being housebound as was another lady who is did a half marathon this week!
Was no fun getting there,the rain was torrential. Its literally never stopped the whole day! I got soaked to the skin :(

Well done :D where do you get body magic awards from?
 
SW do body magic awards - collect them at weigh in @goosey
 
Oh i have never been offered oneo_O
 
You have to request them @goosey
 
Joined Slimming World yesterday and was surprised to learn that I was 2lb less than when I stopped in June last year, so I have lost all what I gained. A new journey for me with hopefully a positive result next week.
 
Good luck @Grannylorraine

Before and after shots of me Warts and all
First pic 13st 7lbs
Second pic 9st 13lbs
I have been on maintenance for a month now but still losing not that I'm bothered as long as I don't go below 9st 6lbs.
Go me and I was the one that thought that this was just another fad diet now I see my diet as my lifestyle change and this is the goal end to stay on it for life. Yes I do have treats, yes I do slip up but I get back on the wagon and I also draw a line under it. Has it been hard, to right it has as days I want to throw in the towel and go sod this and stuff myself with cake. I then remember that documentary and go hell no.

Thank you. Just remember when it gets hard to come on here whinge or to your fellow slimmers at SW they'll all understand
 
I was quite impressed at SW last week to see that there were no less than 6 target members among the 23 people at the class.Perhaps the Extra Easy is easier for maintaining than the old Red/Green way? When I was a member about 10 years ago there were rarely any target members there,one or two who turned up sporadically.
Unusually,the group leader,a very bubbly enthusiastic young woman declares her weight change each week. She put on 13 lbs in the first month after I joined! lol.Very brave of her to admit it,and everyone could empathize with her. She has received tremendous applause as she has lost 1 lb over each of the last two weeks and we wish our fellow struggler well. 🙂Its a lifelong struggle.
