Thanks Ruth! I'm only about half way through so I hadn't ever thought of posting before & after pics... First pic is 22st in Summer Bay from Home & Away (near Sydney) Australia & 2nd was a month ago in sunny Ireland
Thanks Ruth! Yes I started in September, I had lost a stone in the Australia pic (sorry I just didn't have many pictures on my iPad to choose from!)
I do have to say I wasn't ever really unhappy about being overweight, it really didn't / doesn't bother me. It was the realization that my husband & I had been trying to start a family for 3 years and nothing was happening, I had to make a decision to either lose weight to get down to a BMI where we could get some help or continue on and accept that fact that the odds were stacked against us. The unexpected benefits are great though, I didn't realize before how lethargic I was or how even though I felt fine and felt like I was confident in reality I was shying away from certain social occasions.
The best thing is that it is so much easier to get clothes now! I wish I gained ££ while I lost lbs to help my wardrobe catch up!
Maybe I will start a food diary on here... I have a notebook in my handbag to keep me right but it would be nice to get feedback from the mini's experts

Hey I'm a Tuesday weigher, I'm doing sw from home this is my second week so I hope to lose something although just starting my star week now so think it may have an effect. I weight myself a lot and so far this week no loss! Not even half a lb ? feeling a bit sad. Sticking to sw 100% too I have around 7-10 syns a day x

Don't worry it will happen
Only weigh yourself once a week at the same time with the scales in the same place. Through out the week fluid plays a big part in not being able to see but if you weigh at the same time its fair game. If you're sticking to the plan then it will come off just happens at different rates for ppl.
Are you keeping a food diary? Xx
Yeh I'm keeping a food diary Hun maybe the food I'm eating is just too heavy for me, for the next week I might try having a lighter evening meal and see if that helps x
I'm six weeks in and lost 17 up until now. I just know I'm heading for a gain today. I don't want to WI. 30 minutes to go...... :-(
