Last night was a good night for me SW wise. I lost 1lb (so half stone off in last seven weeks - feels like I am back on track), I got my silver body magic and I was fortunate enough to be made my group's man of the year.
It goes without saying that I am very pleased with all of the above.
Being the only man in a woman's world could be intimidating, but my group has made it nothing of the sort. They have supported me all the time (over 2 years) I have been on this journey, even when I decided to try to go it alone or when I didn't stay to group, for which I will be eternally grateful.
To any man thinking about joining a group, stop thinking and just get along and give it a go. At the end of the day everyone in group is there for the same reason and they have all been through the same struggles. Just be prepared for some gentle ribbing because men apparently lose more each week (as was my experience for the first 6 months - the last 18 or so have been a different story!).
I truly believe that this can be a man's (and woman's) Slimming World.
