About a month ago i met up with my bff and went a local slimming world group and it was good. We sat and had the newbie talk with the leader (who's great) and then it was time for the meeting and finding out how much everyone had done that week. Then it was time for the weigh in which in a way i was dreading but also knowing that this would be the last time that i would ever be this heavy so the membership and weekly fees were paid and it was time to stand on the scales and as i watched the numbers slow and finally stop it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. I was 19 stone 6 and a half pounds which isn't good but not as bad as it could have been.
The first week was a little strange as i wanted to get rid of some of the bad food that i had in the house which was a whole 12 inch cheese pizza and enigma ice creams. So i did then only thing i could i ate them, yes i know i could have put them in the bin but i had paid good money for them and i wasn't going to waste it. When it came time to go to group i met up with my bff as she had said that she would come with me each week for support. I walked into group and stepped on the scales and i had lost 3lbs. This was great as it was also my time of the month so it could have been worse and any loss is good. After group i did my food shopping for the next fortnight so it was lots of fruit and veg and nothing unhealthy.
I felt that i had a good week and was happy when it was time to go to group and see how well i had done. This time i lost 1 1/2 lbs which isn't bad and i also got slimmer of the week which came with a certificate and a magnet with a saying on it that's meant to inspire and they are now stuck to the front of my fridge.
The start of week 3 and things were going well and i haven't been hungry and not always using up my syns. This time at group i went on my own and i lost 2lbs which is now a total of 6 1/2lbs so nearly at my half a stone and i also got slimmer of the week again. Time also to do my food shop after group for the coming fortnight and armed with a list which i stuck to and i got lots of herbs, spices and stocks. When i was unpacking the shopping i noticed that it didn't all fit in the fridge which is not good but i manged to put it all away and it has never looked so healthy.
So after this amount of time i'm feeling good about how well i'm doing and can only keep it up. I have worked out what i want my PAT (personal achievement target) will be and that's 9 and a half stone which is a total loss of 9st 13 1/2lbs. I know it's a whole other person and that's scary (if only it could be turned into a clone to do the jobs i hate doing lol). I know that this will take some time and there maybe weeks that i don't lose or even weeks i gain so baring that in mind it could take at least two years or just eighteen months.
This blog will record my highs and lows along the way which i may post daily or just weekly after i've been to group on a Tuesday. There may be the odd food post where i share with you the food that i'm enjoying. It may just be a post about what i'm thinking and anything else that comes to mind.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Take care and happy slimming
