OMG, I was wrong, it just gets better and better [msnscared]

No wonder there is a scam website!!!![msnoo][msnoo]

Yes you are right Barbara I avoid the camera at all costs! It would be good to see though as it is very inspirational to see before and after.

I can't remember if you are following a diet plan Barbara?

In fact Pamela it’s not a diet plan, it is healthy eating with the odd treat . Diets don’t work for me, I am so good at dieting for a period of time .Then I go off the rails and hey ho put all the weight back on plus more. Must have done this 6/7 times in the past 40 years


I have in the past lost 5st in 8 months and two years later I have been heavier that when I started the last diet.

I think this time taking the scenic route is the best way for me, takes longer I know, but I am adjusting as I go along. I now know I can live very well without pork pies, large bars of whole nut, fresh warm bread and butter and of course chips!!
Sometimes I have better weeks than others that’s why I only get weighed once a month.

The rewards out ways any of the sacrifices. Going shopping for clothes is my passion at the moment. Although I don’t want to buy too many as I haven’t reached my target yet

Trying on clothes and not looking like a sack of potatoes tied in the middle is such a treat. Also have your size in the clothes you like is so rewarding.

I will post some pictures in a few weeks as I hope the rest of us slimmer’s will too

I had a feeling that's what you said you were doing Barbara that makes it an even better achievement .

Nicest thing for me is no longer having to look for huge sizes as can find clothes in any shop - more or less! Still a long way to go, but I am meandering along the way rather than charging along the motorway. Everytime I have taken the rapid route it's back on with ++ so am hoping this way, plus the odd diversion - well that's life isn't it - will work.
Before photos - I have large period of time with NO pics as I wouldn't be any of them and just did all the photographing. However did manage to find a couple of shockers. Will post when I summon up the nerve!
This week still on a go-slow. - 1lb, machine didn't record it and when re-weighed was only .5lb loss :-(

Yes Fiona I can only imagine it must be great ! I always say that I don't pick clothes they pick me.

Fiona a 5 lb weight loss is brilliant well done

Isnt it weird how looking at old photos when you was fatter still fills you with shame and horror. I vow I will never go back to my old ways , But unfortunately there is no guarantees.

Barbara it was a half pound - mac laptop has no half sign on it! So have to put .5 which isn't always obvious. If I EVER lost 5lbs I would shouting it from the rooftops!!!

[luckylady]

Well Fiona half a pound is better than nothing . Go into your fridge and look at half a pound of butter. That is exactly how much fat you have lost,

Well done Fiona - any weight loss is good

I lost 2lbs this evening - and got this year's greatest loss award! Can't believe I needed to lose so much weight. I took along some photos - not my biggest but a bit camera shy until now - and I can see the difference myself now!

So, if I can do it - you can too! Hope you all have a good week
