..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 :)
