I finally did something right!

edited October 5 in Success Stories
At the beginning of this year I set myself a target of losing one pound a week, a total of 52lbs for the year - I didn't gain weight overnight so realistically I knew not to expect an overnight loss.

Today, with 5 more weigh-ins still to come before the end of the year, I hit that target!

I've had my ups and downs, good weeks and bad weeks, but I've plodded on like the proverbial tortoise, and yes, I did something right for a change!

Next week, hopefully, I will be out of the 300s and into the 200s, and I'm soooo looking forward to that one!

Happy me!

    Thanks for all the encouragement and support everyone!

    I don't think I'd have come this far if it wasn't for this great site and all the people on it - real people, not photoshopped dummies, all with a common goal.

    We all lose weight at different rates, some can exercise, some struggle, but the support network on here is fantastic and certainly helps spur me on when I feel tempted to leave the path!

    Onwards and downwards!
