It was our miss slinkey night last night, and our C asked the nomonies to say a few words about what SW has done for them etc. and wondered what every ones story was here.
I tried SW before i had my daughter, we were struggling to conceive and was told by the dr that i should be in tip top condition. I had around a stone and a half to loose. I joined with a friend but the group wasnt very good, it was run by two retired ladies and the vast majority of members were older retired ladies. we went for a while, lost interest then i became pregnant. After having my son a couple of us mums from school decided to go to a local meeting. I needed to loose about 2 stone, i talked the talk and walked the walk but my heart wasnt in it and we stopped going. Then we decided we would go it alone doing our own little group at home, save us some money too.
That definately didnt work. Then getting our backsides into gear me and my friend rejoined. This time i needed to loose about 3 1/2 stone. To date i have lost 19 1/2 lb and now have 28lb left to loose. I take it in small chunks and my goal at the moment is to loose 1 1/2lb every week to christmas.
Eating healthily and loosing the weight has made me feel so much better, in myself. The group i go to is friendly and we all have a good laugh. I havent got to target as quickly as i had wanted to but that doesnt matter, slow and steady and aiming to keep it off in the long term is now my goal. And i will still be going to group once at target, because Mondaey night is my night. No Hubbie, No children just a good laugh, a good chat and a good cuppa to enjoy.
