Losing weight is no fast thing, you cant wave a magic wand and its gone or nobody would be fat. However I'm finding this pretty easy, its great when you train your mind not to think about food all the time, thats the difference between having the hypno-band and slimming clubs, I often go read the threads on facebooks slimming world page, this is just because im nosey, "ive piled my plate high just like the club says, yet im not losing weight, why?" everything has calories in whether its carrots or beans so if you eat more calories than you burn its not going to happen, its pretty much common sense really!
Ive lost a stone now, thats six weeks and a stone gone, you have to realise although I was overweight and still am Im not obese, or not fat,fat if you understand what I mean, so my weight loss is nice and steady.
I saw someone yesterday that ive not seen since christmas or before and I got a nice greeting "by heck lass, whats happened to you, you have lost weight" so thats what has made me feel good, ive worked hard and now im starting to see the results, id like to loose around another 10 lbs and I will no matter how long it takes I will do this because I know I can! I had all my hair cut off yesterday because im changing I wanted a change, simple!
Have a nice weekend everyone, because I'm going to!

Ive not given up
In fact im working even harder to acheive that goal, that only me can do - ive just been busy busy busy and not thinking about food as much - just me in that bikini lol
Im still losing weight, thats a healthy weight loss - but more important I've started excercising:)
It helps that my 14 year old son has jumped on the band wagon and doing it with me as he is a little overweight for his height etc, a little observation while he was eating his dinner today I heard him put his fork down and say "mum im full now" so if he can gain good eating habits at this age then hopefully obesity will not be a problem later in life, ive even noticed him running thetap and drinking water instead of juice, I don't tell him what he can and cannot eat I want him to be able to make good choices for himself just like I do.
This morning we were both up nice and early and we walked to the pool, yep walked in the snow and both swam a mile, we were counting down together, encouraging each other it was a good team effort. After the swimming we went to the supermarket and then we went to the gym for an hour, I really wish they would let the teenagers do the deep water aqua because I know he would enjoy it, but instead he can watch me and then we will both do length swimming and hopefully crack up a mile again.
I really feel good about myself this weekend, its not always so positive, last week I had a "down" moment, but I went to see Stella and we chatted about how well I'd done so far and if I wanted to keep on losing then I needed to carry on for myself, its not the food part that gets to me - I no longer have a problem making good choices I think I just expect too much in too little time so a little patience on my part isnt going to hurt.
Talk about making good choices, A pupil of mine wanted to do the McDonalds drive through, normally if I was having a mcdonalds it would be a big mac, large fries, coke and an apple pie to finish with, I had a chicken burger and nothing else this is because I did want to eat something but I know that if id have had anymore I would have been stuffed and I hate that feeling so I was able to control myself pretty well I would say!
