    Red face I never ever thought this would happen to me.

    I went out shopping the other day and it was very hot 44 degrees C.

    So I popped on my shorts and a vest top that is not new but I have not worn things like this for ages.

    I was walking through the Mall and I saw a woman coming towards me and I thought I better switch paths as we are head on.

    It was My reflection in a full length mirror that they put up on a Makeup counter !

    I felt so silly !

    But I honestly did not recognise myself I had just come from the hairdressers and he had curled and coloured my roots so instead of straight hair I had curly.
    But Oh My Gosh I wear such loose fitting clothes and had not realised it was me!

    I know it sounds silly but the surprise and the grin on my face as I noticed this woman is slim and she looks taller and younger.

    Made my Day!

    Guess thats what happens when you are not expecting it.

    I have not been seeing the slowly slowly until about mid July when we went out for my Birthday and I wore something different.
    Perhaps if it had been winter I would have realised how much My body had slimmed.

    Any way I am thrilled !!!!!!

    Wow New York sounds awesome!

    You know I would love to see some photos of favourite places in the city that we live in or indeed the village ( as it is in my case )
    My Grand parents met in New York and married there and had their first child there.
    They both came from Ireland a few miles or so apart but met there.

    Always amazes me how life can be so surprising.

    All the Best!

    You HAVE Got a wonderful shape and body.

    I think it happens like Wham ! and you get used to doing everything and expecting to see results in different ways.

    I am so impatient with myself in every way - Not with others though. This time I told myself it was going to be very slow and then ......

    Ha Ha its brilliant.

    I hope it inspires others to know it just takes you by surprise no matter how much you look at the scales and measure yourself and write down what you ate what you do in the way of activities of every single day.

    Suddenly NOT seeing what you have been seeing for so long in my case 20 years plus.
    Is a SURPRISE.
    Good Luck everyone.
    Wishing You every thing you wish for your self.

    Did you ever think this process was going to be so much fun?
    And here you are, just a couple of months out.
    Wait until you are one year or 1,5 year out, that will be mind blowing.
