Well one year and one day on and I think there is a slight difference :)

 

I never thought I'd post the first two photos - I've had them on flickr since I took them but never thought I'd make them public but hey, it was me and it was how I was so why shouldn't I? I also wanted to be able to put them all together to see the difference. I'm still struggling without photoshop so hopefully, when I have it back, I'll do this again and crop each one better - am having to make do with online editing at the minute.

 

So anyway, this time last year I'd had enough. I felt awful because I was overweight. My back was in a terrible state because of it and I was just miserable because nothing I wore felt comfortable and the weight was just piling on. So I decided to do something about it. Since then I have been going to Slimming World. Some people are lucky enough to be able to lose weight on their own, I need something to keep me going, and going along to a group once a week seems to work very well for me and that's all I'm worried about.

 

In the past year I have lost weight - not every week - but as you can see, I have lost almost 2 and a half stone (35pounds) and although I've still got a bit to go I will get there. I haven't been going for the past month but we started back last week and I'm glad for it. I'm hoping that when I get to post this photo again next year I'll be able to see the difference again. It won't be as much because I haven't got as much to lose - another stone would do me nicely :) So watch this space - I haven't finished yet and if there comes a time when I start putting weight on again I'm going to look at this photo and get it sorted :)

 

Sorry for the long ramble but I really am quite pleased with myself - I never thought for one minute that I would see such a huge difference but ... well just wow! *huge smile*

 

Anyone else thinking about doing it, do it. You will feel so much better. Really.
