What a good idea Marg, and its an incentive to fit into them 🙂
 
Well done Marg - always my favourite NSV.
The good thing is if they are tight - you will probably find you eat less - unless like me you change into those nice comfortable pyjamas first!!

Well done you. How many sizes have you dropped so far?
 
Oh my word , what a shock! I've just measured my waist (last time was about 3 weeks ago) and I have lost 1.5 inches 😱
 
Well done Alison - great progress
 
Well done Alison. Bet you measured again just to be sure!! LOL

With new members at Slimming World I do the initial weigh-in and always tell them to take measurements because they will see a difference and it is a good idea to measure on the weeks you feel you are stuck as it will give you a boost. Apparently some people don't want to see the numbers so we suggest a piece of string with a knot in it for initial and re-knot as inches are lost.
 
I played a tennis match today and called a member of the opposition by her name.
She asked me how I knew her name. I told her I had played her at least 10 times before and when I listed the matches we had played against each other - she replied
'Oh my goodness you look completely different and afterwards told me she really didn't recognise me and further more couldn't believe how much fitter I was and how much my tennis had improved! I beat her 9-3 whereas always lost to her before!
 
Well done Lucy! That is brilliant - especially that someone you have been close to, i.e. playing tennis with, did not recognise the new you!!

Fantastic.
 
They were from a different club and haven't seen them since last summer - so it has been a nice reminder that the weight I have lost has been noticed. Thanks Marg!
 
Well done you Lucy, keep it up hunny xx
 
Thanks Alison - been walking on air since!
 
And so you should hunny xx
 
Wow! That is brilliant Lucy, what a terrific boost to your confidence! 🙂 When people I haven't seen for a while see me, they just recoil in horror and run away screaming...😱

Wow way to go Marg wat a victory x
 
Thanks Steffie, I really thought I would never, ever get into size 12 jeans again. Was not very bothered but it feels fantastic to be able to wear them.

Strange really but it just means something to me.
