Hi everyone,
Ok - about me... I'm 28, live in Shropshire and am single but dating (that needs a whole diary of it's own).
I started losing weight about 2 years ago and have slowly lost 6.5 stone, going from a size 26 to a size 16/18. My reason for doing this is because I want to be a police officer, I already work for police as a civilian but want to make the move into uniform. To do this I have to have a BMI of less than 30. Thankfully, I'm pretty much there on that front, however, since getting there I've stopped losing weight. I know it isn't the end of the journey and still want to lose at least another 2 stone.
After losing 5 stone I came to a halt with slimming world so moved to weight watchers, I lost another 1.5 stone, but have now gone back to slimming world (extra easy) and have put on 5lbs in 2 weeks, arrrgh.
So enough is enough, I'm taking control and starting slim and save. I'm going to take it one week at a time and most importantly.... NOT WEIGH MYSELF. My reason for this is, if I've lost, I'm more tempted to cheat as I think "I've lost 2lbs, so this biscuit will be ok", on the flip side, if I've not lost, I get upset, wonder what the point is, and still have a biscuit!!!
I ordered my packs last night, so hoping they'll arrive soon, until then I'm going low carb in preparation.
Any help, support and friends will be much appreciated
