So, I've been trying to lose weight for years. At my heaviest I was nearly 190 pounds, and for a 5 foot 2 female of 23, that's not good. I began Slimming World in February, and it's been a bit of a scenic route but I've finally lost my first 10lbs and am on my way to my goal weight of 110 pounds. I thought I'd share some pictures to show that actually, 10lb does make a difference.

So, yeah, it's not much, but I'm proud that I've gotten further than I normally do, I normally stall at the 3 or 4 pound mark so this is good for me and I intend to keep going.

    Well since I posted this I've lost an additional 6lb and I am amazed! I'm close to breaking into the 160's and I've not been there or a long time!

    You look great...keep up the good work. I am short too, so I know how much of a difference just a few lbs can make.
