Embarrassing Moments That Made Me Cry Before Slimming World 

My heart went out to you thinking of you on the Disney rides. I have lost 9 stones and have gone from size 24 to a size 10 and it just feels incredulous to me. Weird and unreal. I’ve maintained my weight loss for over a year but it still seems impossible that I can fit comfortably in a 10. It’s that feeing that helps me stay on track as I never ever want to go back to needing a belt extension or having painful thigh rub in the summer. My feet shrunk from a 7 to a 6 !Thank you for sharing your experience as only overweight people understand how truly distressing it can be.

I could see your pain in remembering those awful moments but the joy at talking about the happy times was all over your face. What a rollercoaster weight loss is.

I felt emotional when you were saying about the chairs I’ve got a real phobia if I’m going anywhere with friends I’ll check the place out first to see if they look big enough and sturdy enough if not I’ll make an excuse and cancel and if at a friends and their chairs look lightweight I’ll make any random excuse not to sit down,I felt so much for you sharing your experiences ❤but well done on your loss you’re doing so well and inspiring all of us and a big Thankyou for sharing xxx

Got back on SW on Monday, the day after Easter. This time, it’s working. I’m down 8.8 lbs though Tuesday is my official weigh in day. I had lost 5 stones, gained back 3 stones on Keto diet, my sister insisted I try. So I live in Florida, 1.5 hour drive from Disney World. Disney Land fits in Disney World’s parking lot. So I’m back on SW and watching your earlier videos, very helpful and oh brother, hated booths too though I fit in them now. I’ll go back to Disney World in the Fall when the weather is cooler and I am smaller. Come back to the States! Great place to be! Looking forward to the losses and getting the fat clothes donated and out of my home!!!

Hello, thank you so much for your uploads. I really love your content and appreciate your honesty. I can relate to this immensely, and had a similar experience in a theme park. Tried to shrug it off in front of others but was heartbroken. I'm 2 and half stone down and went to Alton towers and was terrified, but managed to get on everything. Again, I think I felt bigger as my brain hadn't caught up with my body. My goal is to lose another 3 stone to get IVF, so will be watching your videos for motivation. Thanks for everything, you seem a really genuine lovely guy and appreciate you sharing your experiences. All the best with the weight loss! X

I feel so much for you as I have been in the same positions many times. We had hired a jeep for a Cyprus holiday and I couldnt get the seat belt around me so had to have a different car, etc etc. I do love watching you as it gives me hope that one day I will manage to loose the weight.

Rest in peace Patrick x

I was bullied terribly growing up as an overweight child at a time when it was quite unusual to be overweight. I was basically the only overweight child in my year and there were only a couple in the entire school. Virtually every day at some point I was taunted and made fun of. I never stood up to the bullies and I never cried. I just took that hurt and pain and internalised it and it made me over time less and less self confident and feeling more unworthy to the point I felt like nothing and nobody. Now as an older adult I still have no self confidence and feel/know that everyone is better than me. I've tried my best to fit into this life but I've failed on most levels. I've never had the confidence to get a decent job or make friends or have a life outside my family. Ive been blessed with wonderful amazing children who are all doing wonderfully in life so that is my saving grace but other than that I'm a spectacular failure at life. I eventually lost weight But the childhood scars run so deep that nothing can heal what was damaged so badly. I continue to yoyo weightwise but the weight is no longer the issue. I can be skinny/thin/slender or I can get fat/chubby/plump but nothing can change what was taken from me when i was young.

I am 48 man & I've never dieted before, I wouldn't describe myself as overweight as such, but I am heavy. Getting more fat on the tummy as the years go on & I want to loose this. I'm 6'1" tall, 18 stone 1lb. Waste is 38inches, I home workout 5 X a week (mainly resistance) and do a swim session (1000 meters) once a week. Had NHS health MOT which was all good, blood pressure was spot on, nurse said cholesterol was just slightly above normal. The problem is I like my food and I know for a fact exercise makes me crave food. Ideally I want to get back to around 16 stone, been trying to cut back on calorie intake but weight isn't moving. I do enjoy exercise, in fact I think I'm addicted to that 'feel good' period afterwards. Just wish I could make some progress with loosing a couple of stone.

I've been on my journey for 5 weeks tomorrow (13 Feb ) as of now I've lost 1 stone we shall see if I've lost tomorrow 🤞

Hi are you ok .x
