Losing inches....

Thought it was time I did a wee update post on my weight loss in inches/centimetres since I started this blog. I went out and bought an old fashioned dressmakers tape measure and  set about taking various measurements. I don't do this on a regular basis, more just when I remember lol. I still go to slimming world weekly on a Wednesday and to date have lost 1 stone 8 pounds. I have been stuck at this for about 6 months now and seem to bounce between having lost 1 stone 4 and 1 stone 10. My wonderful group leader Janice says there are two  ways to the end result of reaching your target weight. The direct route or the scenic route. I am on the scenic route with every bus stop but I will get there in the end.

I see myself as about half way through my weight loss journey. I WILL get to where I want to be by my Birthday.

I am in serious training now for the Edinburgh Moonwalk on 9th/10th June 2012. I am seriously hoping that if I stick to plan with the eating and training for a 26 mile marathon though the night it should help me reach my goal a bit faster.
