Was just going to ask how you got on. WELL DONE!!!! That's a FANTASTIC start. Are you happy with that, you should be. Just think, next week you should get 2lbs easy and that's half a stone!!!!
I'm very happy with it, I'm just a little scared because I know that the first week or two are usually the biggest losses and I'm not looking forward to the 1/2-1lb per week losses! That's when I've become disheartened in the past. I need to keep chanting "every little pound is one pound closer to my goal!", or as Tesco says "every little helps"! Hehe.
Thank you
Hi hun that's a brilliant loss and it will continue
I'm doing slimming world from home and lots of Zumba too. It really does work. Do you have a diary? I've got one in the diary section and I find it really helpful, mine is called the diary of where I'm going if you fancy having a peek. I know it's a struggle and I know first hand just how difficult it is and I can relate to alot of what you say. It's so worth it though. I have days when I can't quite believe how far I've come then I get the days when I'm overwhelmed by how far I've got to go.
Anyway well done on that amazing loss. I find googling images of what 5lb of body far looks like often helps! Here's a pic
Hi slimsarah,
I do have a food diary, the link is in my signature
I've also started a blog to deal with the more emotional side of dieting/being overweight, but I've not added much to it yet. I was finding the food diary to be quite therapeutic though, so I figured if I can blurt out some more of the emotional stuff I bottle up - and it helps - then I should just go for it Main goal this week is to get my big bum moving! Might have another go at Zumba right now thanks to the motivation from you lovely ladies
And thank you so much for the photo, it certainly put things into perspective!
