Hello peeps,
I was just wondering when you first caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and actually noticed you had lost some weight?
(I say glimpse cos if you're anything like me, i try to avoid full length mirrors at all cost - i have been doing my make-up in a hand held mirror for the past 10 years :giggle
I have been doing SS for just under 3 weeks and have lost 18lbs so far. My friends have been supportive and the other day one of them asked me how it was going and I told her that i'd lost 18lbs and I could see in her face 'Really?' lol. I'm sure it wasn't my imagination and to be honest I don't blame her cos I too was beginning to wonder where this supposed weight was coming off from lol.
But yesterday, in the toilets at work i caught a glimpse of myself and i noticed my "shrunken" size 24 jumper was now long enough again to cover all my stomach whereas before i was constantly pulling the front down in a vain attempt to hide that huge roll of flab that hangs there.
I guess i was just in denial at having gone up to a size 26. We were given an airtex t-shirt at work to wear. It's not compulsory but i constantly wear it because it's nice and long and disguises rolls well.
So how long did it take before you noticed in yourself that you had lost some weight? And how long did it take for you to drop a dress size? It's funny cos i don't want to stop wearing that t-shirt till i'm a size 20 when I really will look like i've lost some weight
