To all you young things reading this who don't remember The Smiths, the original version was :
Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crimes
My only weakness is ... well, never mind, never mind
Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Learn to love me
Assemble the ways
Now, today, tomorrow and always
My only weakness is a list of crimes
My only weakness is ... well, never mind, never mind
Oh, shoplifters of the world
Unite and take over
Well, change the word "shoplifters" to "Slimpodders" and I think that's actually pretty apt to everyone in the "trying to lose weight" gang. Our list of "crimes" is eating too much, eating the wrong things, not moving enough and beating ourselves up about the whole thing ! Time to unite and take over - well, take over our own destiny and state of mind anyway. And as for uniting, I'm really excited because some of my weightloss buddies will be joining me in the SlimPod adventure.
The lovely Sandra from Thinking Slimmer asked me to find some new recruits to join a SlimPod programme and I'm delighted to see that a couple of people from our merry band of bloggers have been selected. Add to that the Slimpod Club that is kicking off on twitter @ThinkingSlimmer on Tuesday night for any SlimPodders who need a quick boost and I'm really looking forward to seeing how we all get on over the next few weeks.
For this week, I lost another 1/2kg which takes me to 80.4kg, which means I'm really hopeful that I'll be starting with a 7 some time soon (totally amazing when I started with a 9 this time last year !). I've just used the NHS BMI checker and I've gone from 14 stone 5 and a BMI of 33.98 (obese) to ... ta-da ... 12 stone 9 and a BMI of 29.89 (overweight). That's the only figure that really counts. :)

How cool is that ?! You'll also get loads of lovely comments to cheer you on or cheer you up, depending on how your week has been ! Good luck everyone - I look forward to reading your posts. (Ooh I can see three of you have posted already - time to go and see how you got on !)

Well done, that's a great result and such excellent news that you're having such a positive impact on your health! Show us some before and during photos, bet your progress is really visible now!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, maybe ! lol
DeleteExcellent Cheryl, well done :) xx
ReplyDeleteWell done, wish i had the same motivation/dedication!
ReplyDeleteI can't take the credit - the Slimpod modifies your subsconscious so it all comes naturally (a bit like having hypnotherapy to stop smoking, I guess)
Deleteyay well done, and thanks for suggesting the thinking slimmer triall. I got accepted :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your progress - especially when you do so many food reviews!
ReplyDeleteLOL That's the great thing with the SlimPod/WW combo - nothing is off limits so I'm certainly not depriving myself :)
DeleteWell done this week and thanks for suggesting Thinking Slimmer, can't wait to get started ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you too - fingers crossed !! It can take 21 days for it to kick in though so don't panic if nothing happens straight away. When are you starting?
DeleteWell done you! I am craving junk food, but I will stay strong!
ReplyDeleteOne thing I've learnt is to give in to your cravings. What's the smallest thing you can have for what you're craving ? Have a small hamburger or a Happy meal or whatever it is you're craving and it'll get it out of your system. If you let it fester, you'll give in to a Big Mac & large fries plus a McFlurry the next week !! lol
DeleteBig well done, Cheryl! I agree with you on treating yourself, life would be too boring if we were all virtuous and only ate muesli with low fat yogurt and carrot sticks.
ReplyDeleteLOL Especially with all the blogger cooking challenges !!
DeleteDefinitely spurs me on to lose some weight,
ReplyDeleteFeel free to join in with our linky if you have a blog or just in the comments :)
DeleteCongrats on losing Cheryl, I'm really pleased for you. You've come so far, good luck for getting under 80kg, you can do it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, you're doing really well too :)
DeleteWhoop well done you!
