25 weeks later - 70 pounds down

Yesterday I got my 5 stone certificate.  It’s taken just over five months and I’ve been following the Slimming World plan.  I’ve also been strict with what I eat, probably more so than one needs to be but once I’d made the decision to commit to losing the weight it was a bit of a case of all or nothing!

I’ve used a general rule of thumb not to eat anything with a fat content higher than 5% which isn’t exactly the Slimming World way but it isn’t not – if you get what I mean.  I religiously keep a food diary, record everything and try not to go over my syns (some nights out mean I have to invoke my flexible syn option!) plus every week when I’ve been weighed I record it on the diary so I know how I did in a week, it means I can pick out weeks that I lost the most and do them again if I need to jump start the weight loss.  I’ve cut down on carbs and come up with some really tasty options including courgettispaghetti when I need a pasta fix!

70 pounds lost in 25 weeks

On this weight loss journey I’ve been adjusting my target by ½ a stone a time and my plan is to keep doing that until I’m happy - but I think I’m almost there, no I’m not the thinnest woman in the world but for me I think it’s a good place to be, and that’s the key…find where you want to be, where you’re happy and stay there…only you know the right weight and shape for you. Good luck!
