..weight loss, 12 weeks in.

WEIGHT LOST SO FAR: 2 Stone 5.5
WEEKS ATTENDING SLIMMING WORLD: 12
WEIGHT I WOULD STILL LIKE TO LOSE: 2 STONE 8.5

I would really love to hear from anyone else who is also following a diet club plan, and your thoughts on wether you are finding this weekly expense to be helpful?
When I walked into my local Slimming World in January this year, I was very optimistic that I would stick at it, although I have been "bigger" for most of my late teens/early 20s, its never really been a problem for me.
I still socialise alot, wear nice clothes, have relationships and lots of friends etc.
But something inside me KNEW that this time, this diet, this "me" would be different, and i would see it through.
Maybe because I am 25 this year, I kind of feel like I need to do something about my weight problem now before i wake up 30..40 etc.

Week one, amazing... 12lb loss.
From then, i was hooked... that was it, nearly a stone in a week? WOW... I HAD TO stick with it.
Since then my weight loss has fluctuated from really good, to not so good weeks. But mainly all losses, and any of my gains have only been half a pound or so.
I am enjoying the social side of Slimming world, especially staying to the classes... the first few weeks you do feel like a newbie, but I can guarantee you will pal up with someone in the end, and now im Facebook friends with alot of my SW group buddies and we regularly speak inbetween weigh-ins to spur each other on.

So far I havent done any excercise, apart from walking the dog every other day. But this week I have my first gym induction, I hope that by trying to go daily will keep my weigh loss at a constant, or at least make me see some sort of difference in my body shape, which I havent seen up until now.
I know im going to get embarassingly hot and sweaty within 5mins of gym action, but I have such a strong mind-set to lose weight at the moment that I know its a necessary evil.

I dont know if anyones going to read any of my posts, but I thought I would just put this out there into the world (wide web) and you never know, maybe someone will find it of some interest :)

Beauty Bits for Sale...

I have some bits for sale on ebay, mainly beauty items if there are any professionals out there who would like to bid, beauty box, acrylic nail kit, spray tan tent etc.
Please take a look :)
Also i will soon be starting up my weekly weight management blogs, I have currently lost 2 stone 6 by following the Slimming World plan, I would like to share my on going experiences, aswell as hearing from others.
This will still be combined with hair, beauty and fashion tips etc

Left to Right : OPI Too Hot Pink to Hold em - OPI Teenage Dream - OPI The Show Must go on - Sleek Truffle - OPI Dutch Tulips - Nina Pro Punki Pink - Chinaglaze First Class Ticket

Too Hold to Hold em pink - Hott Matt Pink colour from OPIs brand new "texas" range. Needs at least 3 coats to get a good colour pay off but worth the work :)

Teenage Dreams - Gorgeous Pink filled with silver and rainbow glitter from Katy Perrys range for OPI. Two coats gives you a lovely shimmer.. maybe try it over the top of one coat of pale pink so the shimmer can really shine through!

The Show Must Go On - Brought to you from OPIs Burlesque collection, one of my fav polishes of all time! Pink colour packed full of FIREY orange and pink shimmer. Beautiful Polish.

Truffle - by Sleek NAILED polishes, be bang on trend with this gold infused bronze. Goes on great and can be worn even with one coat.

Punki Pink - by ninapro, will look great when the summer comes against a tan! this is an EXTREMLEY hot pink so wear if you dare!!

Dutch Tulips - one of OPIs classic colours, this is definately my "go to" red. Its more of a creamy pinkish toned red then a pillarbox one, looks beautiful after two coats.

First Class ticket - my favourite deep dark shade from Chinaglaze Vintage Vixens collection, beautiful deep purple, mixed with tiny blue shimmer.
Share with me your favourite polishes, I have a HUGE collection, but im always up for adding to it! ....
