WEIGHT LOSS WEDNESDAY!!
I asked my members who would like to shout loud and proud about their weight loss journey.
This is Dinha and Phil.
I'm super proud of them because as Di says they have a caravan and found a group there so they could carry on their journeys.
They'll be back with us soon in our Wednesday night group 5:30pm at st Matthews church house.
This is what they say.
" The top pic was taken May 24, I was still celebrating my 60th and we were going to a restaurant with friends, I had made an effort and thought I looked OK, looking at the pic though we were both so bloated, the bottom pic was May this year, we were at a venue in Manchester and both felt good, we had had a lovely meal and I was wearing trousers and jacket from a regular shop in a size 16 which starting at a size 20-22 made me feel amazing.
Briefly I have been a member of SW on and off for years, initially doing well but getting bored, just after Christmas 2024 having spent a brilliant week in Egypt Phil said he had had enough , his weight and lack of energy was making him miserable, so we joined SW again but this time with the understanding that we would do it together not just me joining and Phil following the plan, we changed groups in March from Wednesday to Saturday as we have a caravan and it worked better for us, we haven't been perfect and had some pretty hefty gains but we are human, Phil has just got his 3 1/2 half stone award, he is in jeans 2 waist sizes smaller, tops which have been in the back of the wardrobe for years, lots more energy and confidence, I'm just short of 3 stone, down to a size 14, loving clothes shopping and on work 2 on couch to 5 k, I'm so much happier. And to make sure we stay motivated we have been asked to be groomsmaid and groomsman for our best friends and the thought of trying dresses and suits on hasn't made us decline the invitation xx
I'm sure you'll agree Di and Phil have done amazing and look fabulous.
Sooooo if you're still sitting on the fence thinking about joining and losing weight, get off that fence and come on down !! šÆš¤£
