Weigh Day

Woooo 6lbs off this week, thats 1lb more until I hit the 4 stone mark!!!

So happy with this weeks weight loss especially since I've been feeling glum, so its really perked me up. At this rate it could be 5 stone by Christmas (here's hoping) and thats only 5 stone away from my rough target.

The doctor was happy with the result also, when he first weighed me I had to get weighed on 2 scales, now I can use 1, thats an achievement anyway.

I managed to get through bonfire night without treacle toffee, or toffee apples also. My neighbour has Ben and Jerry's Icecream in her fridge and has asked me to go over for our 'treat', but you will be pleased to hear I am resisting the icecream temptation as I am determinded to get my 4 stone come wednesday.

My current weight: 22 stone 7.5lbs

I would just like to say that even if anyone feels like they are having a bad time regarding their weight loss, ANYTHING is better than nothing and even maintaining that week is better than putting on any weight.

I forgot to document this story last week but I will tell you all now:

A girl had joined our slimming club 2 weeks ago, so last week was her first proper weigh in on the diet. I remember looking at her and thinking how I would like to get down to her size, not to skinny but nice a curvy. Our instructor was giving the talk and telling everyone how each person had got on that week she got to this girl and had said that she had lost 3lbs. Everyone clapped and congratulated her as 3lb is a good weight loss. This girl then said that she was not happy with it, she had stuck to the diet and wanted more than 3lbs. This left everyone shocked. Most people in that class would be over the moon for a 3lb weight loss.

I know myself, I was a bit annoyed as she was saying she wanted to lose more. But what she didnt get the hang of was that - yes she needed to lose a bit of weight but not being too far off her target anyway (maybe a couple of stone) her weight loss wouldn't be big numbers. The older you are and the less weight you have to lose means that your weightloss will be slower over all, which, tbh, is the way to do it. The bigger you are the faster it will come off at first.

To me, this girl wanted a quick fix and this is not what the club is all about. 

1-2lb per week is a good, average, weighloss and anymore than 2lb is water not fat.

So guys, keep that in mind when you are having a bad week, 1lb is better than nothing at all and 3lb is amazing.
