Thread: Alassin Sane's New Start

Hi everyone,

As I'm starting again with my weight loss attempts, I thought I would give the diary thing a go. :-) This first post is my introduction.

My name is Amy, I'm 27 and live in NE England. I'm recently divorced (my decision). I work full time and am also doing a degree via distance learning.

My plan of choice is straightforward calorie counting using MFP, and I do around 2.5 hours of dance class each week (ballet, tap and modern). I used to do a lot more exercise as well, but lost a massive amount of fitness following two operations to remove an abscess from my spine, the second of which left me with some painful nerve damage.

I won't be posting food diaries on here, but they will be on MFP. This is more about the thought process involved.

I'm a bridesmaid in about 5 weeks, which is a mini target date for me. I did day 1 of 30DS today, at level 1, and feel like I've been hit by a truck!!

I hope it will get easier with time... O.O

OMG...I didn't think I was going to be able to do 30DS day 2 today, but I made it. I'll be skipping it tomorrow as I have dance classes on the night time.

I really hope this makes a difference by the wedding. I so badly want to look nice for my sister. The last this I want is to embarrass her when she looks back at the photos...

I've booked an appointment at the doctors to see if there is any treatment they can give me for my PCOS too. I have heard about a cream that can be prescribed to help inhibit excess hair growth, which would be amazing. Fingers crossed they can help...

Hi Amy, Well done on all the dancing and hope the pain is much better too.
I'm sure that your sister will be happy to have you at her wedding whatever the situation is at the time but you are doing so well you'll look gorgeous.
Hope the cream helps with your other problem..what a nuisance that must be.
Take care and all the best to you...
