Hey all.
How’s everyone doing. Feb was a rubbish month for me food wise but I’m back on it now. I’m 4kg down so far this year and hoping to lose another 2-3kg before Easter if I can.

Still a long way to go but it’s all heading in the right direction.
 
I’ve lost 1 stone 1lb since rejoining slimming world in January. Even better...I have dropped a size in my jeans and am visibly seeing the difference in the mirror.

Added a before and after picture so you can see how much my middle has reduced. First picture in the black t shirt was taken before I fell pregnant last year. As you can see...big middle sticking out a lot. Second picture is today. Much better. Still a very long way to go mind you...

You sound like you are doing fantastically especially given your loss last year. I put on nearly a stone when I first miscarried, I am in awe that you’ve been so dedicated 🙂

Aw thank you. I have no other option but to get the weight off and get the diabetes under control if I want to have a rainbow baby. It is keeping me focused x
 
Weighed in today at group.

4.5lb loss. 1stone 5.5lb overall since January.

I’m also now lighter than I have ever been on slimming world. Only by 1lb but I last got to this weight in 2010 but put it all back on again. So this is an achievement. Real total weight loss over the last two years is 4.5 stone.
 
Weigh in day:
1.5 lbs off. 1.5 stone since January AND in a stone bracket I haven’t been in for a very long time. Probably about 15 years. I’ll soon be the lightest my husband has ever known me in 17 years if I carry on this way.
 
Morning all.

Weighed today - total loss for the year to date is 10.6lb or 4.8kg. Slow and steady - I’m happy with progress and trying not to get frustrated.

Keep going everyone x

Hey all

Total loss for year is now: 12.4lb or 5.6kg. Still heading in the right direction. Really want to hit the first stone loss now!

You’re getting there. Well done!

I weighed in last night at group, 5lb loss. Total is now 2 stone 2.5lb. I’ve officially lost over 10%of my starting body weight too.
 
That's brilliant merrymunky. Are you logging your meals on the relevant thread? I'd like to know what you are having. I'd like to do Slimming World but don't know how to make it work with the D. I'm desperate to do something!

I started low carb on 25th April. Have to now even though it's going to be very hard for me being a food addict. I almost cried when preparing a hot cross bun for Mum and I couldn't have one...all those squashy raisins and the smell...mmm

Apologies for the double post. Nearly did a jig at the scale in Boot's today, down from 16 stones 2 pounds last week, to 15 stones 8 pounds this week. Yay, low carb works. 🙂 I'm quite astonished. I hope the scale was correct. I'll soon find out if I gain stones next week. 😱
 
Hey all

Been a while since I posted on this. I am currently sitting at 14.5lb down for the year, or just over a stone :D.

I still have a long way to go to be at my ‘ideal’ weight but I’m proud of what I’ve achieved on very little sleep this year so far.

How’s everyone else doing?
 
15 stones with tum 49inches. Back to the low carb today after some horrendous food choices. Well done on your weight loss.
