My Big Fat Journal

[StephieShrinks]

Okay, so it might be a little early on in my journey to suddenly throw caution to the wind and loudly declare my undying love. I mean, it's hardly an established affair, we've only had relations for 5 short weeks after all. The cynics would probably say we were still very much in that "Honeymoon phase."

I don't wanna jinx anything so I'm not going to use the "L" word just yet. But I am going to tell you that I really, really, really, really, really like Slimming World! ?

I'd been a slimming club virgin 6 weeks ago. I'd just never really thought about joining one, primarily, I suppose, because I hadn't really made losing weight an actual priority until just before Christmas, when I saw a hideous photo of a fat girl, that had been tagged as me on Facebook :-/

I managed to shift 7lbs by going to the gym and limiting my calorie intake. But then I hit a bit of a brick wall and couldn't seem to lose any more. I love exercise, but I also love food (and I use the "L" word with full meaning this time!) but instead of stocking up on fruit & veggies I'd just use all my calories up on crap, like chocolate & chips :-/

So anyway, I found myself seeking guidance and support in my local Slimming World group

And here's how I'm getting on so far...

Wk 1. 1lb loss
Wk 2. 5lbs loss ( :-D )
Wk 3 1lb loss (half a stone award!)
Wk 4 4lbs loss (Slimmer of the week!)

Total to date: 11lbs Eeeeeek! Lol

My 5th weigh-in is on Tuesday

I'm pretty amazed to be honest, because I'm not feeling deprived or hungry, or any of the things you expect to feel when 'dieting.'

I'm a little suspicious, are the SW scales broken? Am I losing water? Did someone sneak into my house in the middle of the night and steal my body organs? Lol what is going on?

Can it really continue like this? I mean, really? Only time will tell I suppose, but so far I can safely say that whilst it might not be the real McCoy, i really, really, really do like Slimming World!

Well done! I'm only 5 weeks into weightwatchers. You have done so well. I've treated myself to a new haircut. You deserve a treat too

My 6th SW weigh in (well, 7th if you include the initial one) and tonight I'm eagerly chasing my stone award! If crack it I will have lost 23lbs since I first started my w/l adventures in Dec. Something I hadn't expected at all!

Fingers crossed for me? I'd soooo love another shiny to keep me going!

Hope you guys & girls are all okay!

Am off to film a new fat vlog Xx
