I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melancholie, 30 July, 2008 at 00:08 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 22

3lbs off this week, making a total of 86lbs (6 stones 2lbs) and GOAL! ? And for the last ever time (cos target members can't win it) I was also Slimmer of the Week. Can't believe I made target in time for the wedding! 54lbs since January 8th; never really thought I'd manage it. Sooo happy!

    You can, although the only before ones I have are from 4 stones ago as I avoided having my photo taken when I was at my biggest and destroyed any that snuck through the net!

    Well, I took the scenic route... ?

    I joined SW in January 2004 and lost 2 stones for my cousin's wedding in July 2004 (I was a bridesmaid). I lost another stone and a half over the next six months, but then started putting it back on again because I wasn't doing it properly. I then lost 2 stones again in the period from February 2006-August 2006 when we went on holiday to America, then did the same thing and stopped doing it properly and crept back up! Then this January when we set the date for the wedding I focused on it properly (this is probably the first time I've followed the plan 100%) and I've lost 4 stones since then. Determined not to follow the pattern and put it back on this time though!

    I've gone from 16st 3lbs to 10st 1lb. I'm smaller now though than I was when I was younger and was 8st 12lbs; think that's down to the exercise. It's toned me up, and of course muscle weighs more.
