Thats some serious weight loss....well done Gaz!!
Any tips or are you just following the plan 100%?
I am following the plan 100%. I do try to shake things up now and then though. This week i didnt drink diet soda or eat potatoes/rice/pasta, just had lots of superfree instead. Day before weigh in as well i ate loads. I always just kind of eat light foods that will pass through quickly on day before weigh in, strange i know, but this time on the tuesday i had a fried breakfast a gammon steak (with salad) for lunch and 3/4 of turkey diced leg as a fake kebab with all the super free and a wholemeal pitta bread. It was a lot of food....
I feel i am going to have a good loss next week as well. I'll give myself a weigh on sunday see what happens.
Though i just missed my four stone award this week, another milestone was reached. I dropped a BMI Obesity class. above 25 = overweight, above 30 = obese class I, above 35 = obese class II and above 40 = obese class III.
Gone from class III to class I. In terms of health its suppose to be a big change. What's amazing is i can see in sight the magic 30. It seems a long way when you are 43. Its kind of silly but i just want someone to look at me, and the 'he's really fat' not be the first thing that enters their mind.
Scruffy, ugly, smelly, that's fine, just not fat! I have been fat since i was 11, and though i had a spot when i was working abroad in the hot sun for a year or so of me being a similar weight to I am now, fifteen years ago, since then i have just got fatter and fatter and fatter.
I keep wondering when i will look normal. I dont have body image issues, I reckon hitting fifteen stone, being 5ft 11, will be a point where people will not think of me as fat and I wont think of myself as either.
I cant praise slimming world enough. It doesnt even feel like i am punishing myself. There are foods i have to deny myself, largely fast food, but the feeling of losing weight week in and week out without fail (touch wood) is amazing. I dread the plateau moment though. I also think it will hit me very hard when i have a week in which i put on, but have still kept to the plan.
