Who said weight loss was easy?

Well whoever said this, isn't the brightest spark in the book!

I have struggled since I started my journey back in January 2012, but I am still following the slimming world plans and the weight is coming of me again!  Need to remember the following:

Success is not a race, be patient.
Success leads to success.
Success is always a work in progress.
Success doesn't come to you - you go to it.
Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process.
Some people dream about success - while others wake up and work hard at it.
Success is achieves and maintained by those who try and keep trying.
Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED!
If at first you don't succeed - try, try again.

I love this quote as it reminds me that I need to keep trying every day to achieve my goals and only by trying will I succeed and be successful at loosing weight!  It has reminded that you can't sit back and it will happen I need to make it happen, but by being patient as I will get there!

My success since starting my slimming world plan is that I have lost weight (nearly two stone) and that I have the tools now to carrying on loosing the weight in my own time and not to rush the process.  Two months ago I was trying to loose weight like the people in The Biggest Loser. Australia 2012 which I had been following! I can do the 2 hours exercise but it was wearing me out and guess what I was eating more of the wrong things as I wasn't concentrating on my food!

First lesson that I learnt, concentrate on my food first and back this up with weight loss!
Second lesson that I learnt, enjoy the right foods and enjoy exercise.  You won't stick to whatever plan you are following if you aren't enjoying it!

Oh my god, I cant believe its been 6 months!

I have definitely been slacking and my thoughts have been else where.  I am starting to get back on track!  Back to nearly 2 stone weight loss and I have a pound and a half to go, which I hope to achieved b y my weight in on Tuesday.

Why Tuesday?  My last weight in before my 2 week holiday!  When I did this holiday last year only put on 4lbs over the fortnight, so the pressures on!

Food and exercise wise I believe I am mentally ready for my holiday!  I have recipes and my new slimming World mag to take with me!  I am also taking my steamer! (I am self catering!)
