SLOW and steady wins the race and that’s the formula that continues to work for our Clare Echo slimmers who both shed half a pound last week.

Last week was busy with a few family celebrations, so I was not watching my portion sizes enough. Although I did relax a bit I was delighted to still register weight loss this week – I now have a total of 11lbs lost and I’m delighted with that.

This week, I attended Martina’s Saturday morning class at the CBS in Ennis. Martina’s relaxed approach puts everybody at ease from the get-go.

Martina also discussed up-and-coming activities and chose charity support activities that members are encouraged to take part in.

A few members of the group recently reached their target weight goal and Martina discussed the importance of maintaining your weight and offered continued support to these members, which they gladly accepted.

With this in mind, Martina discussed the Slim for Life book that is available when you reach your target weight.

This is a 12-Week comprehensive program designed to guide readers on a journey to lasting health and wellness. The Slim for Life program offers readers insights, tips, and motivation to kickstart and maintain their transformation.I was delighted this week with a half pound loss as it was better than a gain.

I had a tough week and learnt I am an emotional eater. When I look back I wasn’t hungry when I binged on treats – I was left feeling crap after and disappointed in myself. Lesson learnt .

On Tuesday, I joined Pamela’s group at 9.30am in Treacys West County. Some amazing achievements this week with one of the group members Pamela achieving the 2 stone she set for herself for her birthday while Gillian earned the half stone award, slimmer of the week and Slimmer of the month and is heading for her 1st stone award.

A tip from Pamela’s group that resonated with me: I can do this.There is nobody stopping me but myself and my choices. Show up for myself as I deserve to feel good, look good, be healthy and I will reap all the rewards.
