Weight Watching

I did promise I would show pictures – and now I am just over halfway to my target [19lbs lost, 16 to go] I thought I would give you all a giggle.

I get very annoyed with those diet magazines which show ‘before’ in dreadful outfit, hair a mess, no make up – and then ‘after’ in smart dress, fully ‘tarted up’. So for true veracity,  here are pictures of myself last year, and then again this year, in almost the same outfit

WARNING!

Persons of a sensitive disposition look away NOW!

I have definitely got a more defined waistline, and less tum and thighs than I had before!

However I do not normally dress like this when I am walking around the village– so here are some pictures of me in ‘regular clothing’ –  two from the Fairtrade Fashion Show back in March, and one I took yesterday when I got in from church

Really pleased with the little black dress- originally from Next, but I paid only £3.99 in the charity shop last week. It is a UK size 10 – I was size 14 in the spring.

The Pastor is also losing weight – but I respect him too much to start posting before and after pictures of him in his boxer shorts.

  1. Well done - you look fab! Doesn't it feel great to wear smaller clothes? I know it helped me carry on with the exercise.

  4. I think you have done amazingly - and it looks to me as if you have lost weight since I saw you in the summer! And you are very brave to post pictures of yourself in various states of dress and undress - usually I go headless, and keep to the most flattering angles - make sure you are higher than the camera and put your hands on your hips. I bet they do that in the diet magazines!

  17. Thank you everyone - and New World - it isn't a secret - I have managed this simply through the encouragement and support of friends, especially Bob. I have eaten 'GI' foods - but not been too rigid about it, and I have taken up running. Eating less, exercising more. Thank you - ALL OF YOU who have said such helpful and supportive things over the past 4 months.
