Sw 12.4
Cw 10.4
Started end March, been slow but steady but today I bought size 12 jeans and just measured myself and think I've gone from 36hh to 34g.
I think I've not seen the loss in the mirror, been wearing the same clothes, feeling the same in my head....and suddenly I feel fab! (Although im still bloody short!)

Sorry, but a bit of a Go Me post!

Absolutely Go You @SylviaPsyoplath you have lost 2 stone. That's fantastic.
Size 12 as well!
I didn't really notice (nor did anyone else) until over 2 stone had gone. Now I am almost at my ultimate target, it seems every pound makes a difference.

Thank you … this is just what I needed to hear.

I'm losing about 1lb a week ( on 1350 calories a day ) …. It’s hard slog and slow and I’ve 5 stone still to lose. I feel that everyone is dropping multiple lbs a week … and I’m not.

I know it’s my race and no one’s else …. I’ve lost about 20lbs so far

I think it is slow for a lot of us, and IRL that is a bonus as we are less likely to get so much 'shrunken balloon' skin.
Yes we want it happen now, if not yesterday! But it is better for us and our overall health to take a slightly more scenic route.

Some weeks I have lost 1lb or a half, other weeks might be a bit more. However that has added up to 5 stone...... That is 70lb, or my go-to real life measurement, 140 slabs of butter!

Next time you are in the supermarket, walk down the isle and have a look at those slabs of butter, you have lost 40!
If I have a week where I have 'only' lost a half, I tell myself that that is another slab gone from my body!
