Hi All,

Just a quickie to let you all know how its going and hopefully give you all some encouragement to those who are struggling,

I started on the blue ones in January and I have just hit a three stone loss and Im soooooooooo pleased to say the least, its been a struggle at times and that plateau stage that we all seem to go through is tough but perseverance really pays off, so when you get stuck and seem like nothing is happening keep at it and it will happen again!

Great to keep reading everyones experiences so keep up the posting people,

Regards,

MM

    Hi and well done you.

    I have been stuck on 2 stone for the last 2 months but went shopping today for clothes and got size 16. I was moaning on here the other day about not having lost anything for 2 months but when I went shopping today and everything I got including a jacket was a size 16 I was so happy I felt a new joy for loosing weight and now hope this month I will shift some more weight.

    Next up I think a size 14 is needed to be aimed for.

    Once again well done on your 3 stone

    Ttfn

    Thanks for the encouragement. I was feeling a bit down today as I am convinced I haven't lost any more. Lost 6 lbs a week for 1st 3 weeks. Now 2 wks later I don't think I have moved any more. Mind you, I have gone down a size in trousers! But I intend to stick with it.

    What a brilliant result, i keep reading these stories for the motivation i need. Had a series of stop starts on the tablets just recently, and although i havent put any weight on i havent lost much more but lost 1 stone in just over a month so back on a strict regime again now.

    Well done to you, keep it up!

    Thank you for all your encouragement and I know what you mean about reading other peoples success keeps you motivated it also is a great feeling when someone notices that you have lost weight, I will share with you about today, I was walking back from dropping my little boy of at school and one of the parents who was walking towards me was looking at me strange, as we got nearer I said morning and his reply was, have you lost weight? wow the first time someone has really noticed, continuing walking i then bumped into another parent who was talking to me who just said, there is something different about you, what have you done, you look so well, and after I had said what do you mean I then told her I had lost 3 stone and she was full of praise, its the moments like that, that make it worth every bit of hard work we all put in to conquer this mighty battle of the bulge! I was on cloud nine for the whole of today, heres to being a step closer to winning that battle, so well done ladies on what you have lost it doesnt matter if its big or small any loss is in the right direction and one to be proud of.

    So heres to all of us who are actually trying to change they way we look and feel. Keep up the good work
