I have always been overweight and have successfully lost 5 stone about 8 years ago. Unfortunately just after I met my now husband and gradually the weight has come back on. I don't need anyone to tell me why I am overweight, I know why. I'm not going to blame it on any so called medical issues either. Fact is I ate too much and didn't exercise enough.
Back in September 2008 I started my weight loss challenge. I know you are are thinking that is nearly two years ago. Okay I will explain...
In September 2008, I joined 'Slimming World' with a friend from work. At first I was practically terrified of the changes I would have to make to my eating, but it soon dawned on me that this needed to be done, as I looked like this...
I hated the way I looked. I hated having my photo taken and I hated shopping for clothes. After 6 months of slimming world I lost 1 1/2 stone and I was beginning to feel good about myself, so much so I fell off the weight loss wagon. My weight then yoyo'd for over a year, until I got so fed up I left Slimming World. I was confused with the diet, having to write down everything I ate, it was so frustrating.
In June this year after gaining about 1/2 stone again, I joined Weight Watchers Online. So far I am 9 weeks into the plan and I have lost 22lbs! I'm the lowest weight I've been for years and I feel amazing.
In my blog I will talk about how my life has transformed, what I now eat and more importantly, how much exercise I now do. I'm doing the blog as I think talking about my weight loss will hopefully help and encourage others to do the same as me. This is now what I look like nearly 3 stone lighter than I was in September 2008
I still have quite a lot to lose, but am feeling positive about the future.
