I've lost 1/3 of my body weight....

[wenchie]

As of this evening's W.I. I've lost 6st 2lbs, which is 1/3 of what I started at (and just over 1 1/2 st to target. Ish ).

The last few months have been almost painfully slow (I've been gaining little bits, having sts and losing little more than 1/2 at most in a week since about october) but I've stuck with it because it works (and I've been losing inches even when the scales haven't been kind, that and I feel SO much healthier!).

I've gone from being an unhappy, unhealthy size 24 (poster child for gaviscone, regular migraines, ruled by my IBS) to a happy size 14 (which I haven't been since I was about 15... ) and I cannot remember the last time I needed an anti acid, my migraines are reduced to less than one a month and my IBS is much milder and less frequent.... and people no longer describe me as the "fat girl", because that's not my most outstanding characteristic any more.

Slimming World is AMAZING and I'm so happy that I'm pretty sure that I'd float off the scales if you tried to weigh me again tonight...

That is absolutely AMAZING!!!! Your post is just what I needed to read this morning. I'm only 10lbs into my weightloss and have been feeling pretty daunted by the journey ahead.

Brilliant weight loss well done. You must feel fabulous x

 

[wenchie]

Thank you all - I do feel fantastic (and I'm still walking-on-air happy this morning, too!), I'm still not used to not being the fat one (I keep looking at Evans and the "big" ranges in places and then have a moment of "oh, that's not me any more", it's lovely) and mirrors and windows are a constant NICE shock (littlemeercat, you must feel amazing too ). GOOD LUCK everyone.
