Hi, just came across this and I too really need to lose half of me. I have started by using celebrity slims 8 week challenge. Your weight loss will inspire me
Hi Angie! Thanks for your kind words

What is celebrity slim? Is it like WW or is it a low cal diet?
I really don't understand where these 6lbs come from... Not that I complain! And this morning, I actually notice how much I have lost when I looked in the mirror. I usually avoid the mirror, which is hard given that our wardrobe doors are full length mirror. But while I was making the bed this morning, I saw myself from the other side of the room and actually thought: OMG! I can't believe how much I've lost

Obviously, I still have a lot to lose, and losing it is only one part of the battle. Re-feeding and maintenance will be the true challenge but still, not bad after a few weeks
I really have to go to the charity shop with all my clothes. I even have a bag full of rags as they sell it for money as well. At the moment, I don't have that many clothes to wear actually as I'm still too tight in size 20 trousers (except 2 pairs of M&S trousers) and still a bit too tight for size 18 tops (so I had to keep the size 20 which are a bit baggy but OK). I have so many clothes in so many different sizes
As I said previously, what I find really hard is the getting rid of clothes that are slightly too big. They aren't baggy but a little big. And I just cling to them thinking "but what if". I can't allow myself to have such thoughts!!
I hope everything is doing OK. I haven't done the Shred yet, my thigh is still really sore. Yesterday in the car, I was in agony in sharp bends: I never noticed how we contract our muscles when we drive... Or is it just me?
