[Texty_F]

Fabulous difference in the pics hun well done. Good luck for your pre training tomorrow x

 

[Dougal1983]

Aww thanks Texty! It's so motivating to look back at photos, ESP when hubby was helping me sort them out earlier and he accidentally zoomed in on the before one and it was scary lol!!

I'm really excited for tomorrow! X

 

[Texty_F]

Lol - I suppose we will all think that when we look at the before pics. I keep meaning to sort some, but I hate having my pic taken so finding some up to date ones will be hard. I honestly never gave a 2nd thought to measuring myself when I started SW last year, I just knew I wanted the weight off. Too late now lol

You will have a fab time im sure, just enjoy it and take it all in. You will have your work cut out now but I know you will put 100% effort in and you will reap the rewards

 

[Dougal1983]

Thanks

I don't think I could have gotten (almost) to target and become a consultant without the support on minis x

 

[Texty_F]

I know what you mean - I have a girl at work to thank for telling me about the site in the first place lol x

 

[Dougal1983]

Lol I stumbled across it because I googled hi-Fi bars (back when I was trying to find the lemon flavour) and a thread on here came up so I had a look and I've been hooked ever since!
