True weight loss success that will inspire every slimmer

I was in the office all day, and it at about 2pm I noticed the time and thought about eating my lunch. This may sound fairly normal for some people, but normally when I’m at work I arrive before 8.30, have already eaten breakfast, and by 10am I’m rummaging through my bag for a snack to keep me going till lunch time around noon. So for me, not thinking about eating until 2pm was quite a shock - I never go that long without eating. 

Last night I went to the cinema and declined any popcorn or sweets - this is also a very new experience and was not a conscious decision. I’m truly excited about the ThinkingSlimmer method and can’t wait to see what happens over the next few days and weeks.  I am on a diet 72per cent of the time, switching between various slimming clubs and diets. Even my GP tried to encourage me to take slimming pills but now after only three days I’m thinking less about food than I ever have, and I’ve not felt hungry at all. 

I’m so excited! I have just been weighed for the first time since starting to listen to my Slimpod and filling in my log - and the scales are showing a ONE STONE weight loss. I am amazed.   The last time I got weighed was towards the end of June when my weight was 20st 7lbs - between then and starting the programme I ate everything in sight (as usual), including loads of BBQs with all the dressings, mayonnaise and alcohol included,  so my weight may have increased by a pound or two before I started ThinkingSlimmer.

Today’s weight was hovering between 19st 6lbs and 19st 7lbs.   I was shaking when I looked down and saw that  and called my partner through to check the weight. I then moved the scales to several different locations around the house to check the weight- but it remained between 19st 6lbs and 19st 7lbs.
I haven’t been making any conscious changes during the programme. I  have been thinking less about food, and only looking to eat once I am hungry and not by the clock. My portions have also become slightly smaller and I have actually been known to leave some food on my plate once I’m full - that never happened in the past, I would always clear my plate.

I don’t feel it has taken any willpower at all to drop this weight, I have not deprived myself of anything, have not felt I have restricted anything and certainly have not felt like I have been on any form of diet. Finally I haven’t been thinking about or obsessing about food, meals or what I can snack on.
I know I am still very early in the programme but I already want to say a HUGE thank you - this truly is amazing. I still don’t know how it all works - but I DO know it does work.

I’ve now lost an amazing 18lbs.   WOW! Imagine losing 18lbs in 21 days  with no conscious effort of counting, measuring, obsessing, depriving or exhausting myself. This is truly amazing, I’m still not sure exactly what has happened during the Slimpods - what I do know is that it is working somewhere deep inside and making the changes it promised to make, for which I am truly grateful. Thank you SO, SO much - but this is still only the beginning, this is the first 21 days of the rest of my life !! 

I got weighed again at the weekend and I have now lost 22lbs - plus I had some steroid treatment for my rheumatoid arthritis, which usually causes a slight weight gain - so I am totally amazed.
Actually I am and I am not amazed,  because when I get on the scales I know I will have lost weight, it’s just how much that surprises me. I am now one pound below my “barrier weight” of 19 stone so now anything can happen - and it will,  I just know it will!!!

I'm going to have a complete makeover now. It's all really exciting, not sure how i feel about exposing my body to a spray tan, but who knows what will happen!!  I have decided to take all the advice on offer, and am prepared to change my hair colour, style, everything. Crikey, nobody will recognise me soon lol. I can't wait till my friends get started on ThinkingSlimmer, I really want them to share this experience and if they feel half of what I feel right now it will be amazing. This will be the best gift they could ever have received.

MY GREAT XMAS AND NEW YEAR...WITH ONLY ONE MINCE PIE EATEN!

Christmas has always been a time to celebrate and spend time with friends and family, usually time spent around meals, food or 'treats'. Christmas is usually an excuse to eat chocolates, mince pies, puddings, larger portions and for me ...extra cheese, accompanied with crackers, relishes and pickles.
This year started the same as ever, I baked mince pies during December, only this year when relatives visited, I ate a single mince pie then I packed up the mince pies and shipped them off with the relatives ....and didn't even feel upset at their departure. (the mince pies not the relatives).
Christmas came and I had relented and bought a six pack of mince pies, along with a small box of biscuits, shortbread, a single box of chocolates and a christmas cake. Everything in moderation, and the treats were more for when friends visited, I wasn't 'worried' about the goodies and didn't think there was any chance of me just sitting and eating them all.  Christmas came .....and went.....New Year came ......and went.....but apart from 2 mince pies and a couple of biscuits, the rest remained. I divided up the Christmas cake, donating some to my partners parents, and half to my son's house....I kept a small piece 'just in case' we wanted any, or had visitors. Mid January came, and the 'goodies' remained untouched and slowly going stale....so a plan was hatched to have them all eaten and finished by the end of the day .......A visit to the local lake.....and some very hungry ducks & swans !!!!   They even ate a box of muesli which had been sat in the cupboard for a few months after it started to taste too sweet to eat.
I did not feel deprived over Christmas, I ate a little bit of what i fancied, and didnt feel guilty about any of it, I just didn't eat for the sake of it, and didn't eat just because it's 'what you do' at christmas. I ate when I was hungry, I stopped when I was full and satisfied, and if I wasn't hungry then how ever much I fancied it I just didn't want to eat it - what ever 'it' happened to be on the day!
