Yay! Go Me!

This is a quick, more than a little smug, post. Last night was my Slimming World meeting.

 I had hoped for a half lb loss and I got two and a half!
More importantly I have now lost 1 stone 9 and a half lb.

 By losing this weight I have reduced my BMI from the original number of 31.3 to 27.4! 

 With this change I am continually increasing my general well-being and health. I know I can get up the kitchen stairs almost at a run now, I don't have so much trouble getting out of bed, people have noticed I've lost weight without knowing I am on the plan, I need new clothes for the holiday and I am chuffed.

 This week I was awarded joint slimmer of the week and joint slimmer of the month. Eeeek!

 I have about nine more lbs to lose and then see how I feel.

 Thank you for listening to my personal boast of smugness!

 Bye for now.

      Thanks Marlene. I have to be honest, though, I haven't found it difficult and would recommend the plan to anybody.x

    WELL DONE. I on the other hand, have gone the other way so it's time to resist temptation. I just need to fit some decent walks in but have been working 4 day weeks with my wee business and haven't been able to get out to burn up the calories.

      Thanks BB. I don't do as much walking as I used to do but consider working outside in the garden as good exercise. I would like to make the effort to go running, though. I just like the idea of it and am always inspired around the time of the London marathon. Balancing life can be tricky.

      Thank you Janice. It is fab to be able to see how my body is changing and how clothes fit soooo much better now. I feel the health benefits, too, and as I said to Marlene I really haven't found it a chore.
