Morning quickly checks time! yep..still A.M.:p Seem to have been up an absolute age today, not that you would be able to tell by the state of me house:o

BUT...I'm pleased to report that a jacket that literally screamed at the seams when I tried to zip it up back in crimbo-time, was worn yesterday without the need of a safety net:D Had room to show off my disappearing waist-line to me muvva AND I was wearing a sweater too:j

Sat here now, I think I'm feeling a lot more positive about losing the lardiness now I'm not bothering about the numbers IYSWIM. When I see how well you lot are doing, I have a teeny tiny sad smile on my lips cuz I can't tell you how much has melted. But then I have days like yesterday that really give me a boost.....aw now I've gone into blabbering & lost me train of thought:mad: stomps off to look for lost marbles.......

Contact Your Doctor And Ask For Help. Some Doctors Will Pay For Your Slimming Club Membership/ Pay For You To Join A Gym.
You Should Start Walking Even Just Short Walks Each Day And Gradually Build It Up. Just Have One Treat A Day That You Look Forward To, It Will Be Very Hard But You Will Do It.

You Could Buy Exercise Video From Charity Shop And Get Started That's Where I Got Most Of Mine.

Good Luck

This is my first posting since attending slimming world for the first time. I've lost 2.5lb which I am very pleased with. Considering I have PCOS, Fibromyalgia and depression, I am giving myself a pat on the back.
Since following the support offered and the good reviews about slimming world, I went along.
I was very very pleased with my first meeting, I felt welcomed and empowered by everyone being in the same boat. So many people had lost a huge amount of weight, i got to see some of their BEFORE photos. The difference was absolutely amazing.
I went to my second meeting on Tuesday and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a raffle of easter eggs etc and a tasting of easter related baking etc brought in my the consultant and anyone who wanted to contribute their food.
I can't thank everyone enough - I have made a start.:j :j

Well done! :T

Oh I am finding it difficult to keep going...............

Positives are I have lost a stone and can feel it

Negatives are I want to eat eat eat eat eat eat all the naughty stuff I know I shouldn't. I keep reciting the phrase "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" and the thing I know this is true but it still doesn't stop me from wanting to eat 75million bags of crisps.

I know sometimes things are a struggle but I am finding things more of a strugle then usual at the moment. I am now at the councelling stage for my depression which is hitting a very raw nerve indeed and is wearing me out to be honest and am lacking in motivation But I still have 4more stones to lose and its not as easy as dropping them out of your pocket is it? I'm trying to make it easier on myself by hitting half stone targets but I am slowly losing the motiviation I need to carry this out.

All this and i'm thinking of starting a business too. I must be mad. Actually I know I am mad.

Best, Lisa .

Hi Lisa, good for you for coming back. Try to hang on in there and keep up with the exercise even if all else is falling apart a bit. I can tell you from bitter (and recent!) experience that not exercising really makes things a lot harder, you don't get any thinking time and lose all motivation...the eating thing is less important in one way.

What's the business by the way?? Then we can tell you whether you're mad or not
