PeI've been struggling with my weight for most of my life. You've all met me, the fat one school. The one that's picked last for the team in P.E. The shy one because people were always laughing at her. Never being able to find clothes that fit or looking hideous in the ones that do.

I am now 27, married and with a 1.5 yr old little boy. My son showers me with unconditional love, cheers me up with a kiss when I feel down. It is partly for him that I need to change. I grew up with no sense of of healthy eating or exercise, I cannot let this happen to him. I want to take him swimming, for this activity to become a part of his week and so encourage a fitter him in the future, but in order for that to happen, I need to get in the pool with him.... I want to run around in the park with him and not be thinking about people staring and laughing at me.

i started S&S 2 weeks ago. Starting weight 105.6kg. At my first weigh in I came down almost 7 pounds to 102.4. Second week weigh in... 103.8. I have not been very disciplined. While I'm at work, I keep to my shakes, water and coffee. But when I get home in the evenings, a little voice that says "it's ok, eat" is all that fills my head.

Restart today. Simplicity all the way. I have a party to attend in 3 weeks, and that will be my mini target for now. Ultimately it is not just I want to physically slimmer, but want to be healthy and live a longer, confident and happy life.
 
Best of luck with your journey. I have restarted today just to knock a stone off by the end of May as I have let myself go over the last few weeks and gained some of the weight I lost last year. I'm quite annoyed with myself as I was doing well when I left here, I was eating well and doing kickboxing etc but my family visited and the takeaways and alcohol came back and it was downhill from there. I'm still doing kickboxing but finding it hard to get back to eating healthy so here I am for the next 4 weeks at least x
 
Good luck on the next 4 weeks, you sound really determined to get that stone off. Keep us posted about how it's going.

I've really caved in! Had people bring round boxes of chocolates and multipacks of crisps :sigh:. Not good, seriously. My new plan of action is to go home and bin the lot. After today I have the whole week off. I am going to make time for an hours walk every day, otherwise I dread to think how out of control I will be.

I wish I could enjoy the Meals on the plan. I do not have the self control to portion my own meal so I think Simplicity would be best. But most that I have tried have been inedible. Poor me lol.

I remember that first week on the plan, I was walking around feeling so good, I was happier, brighter and more bubbly. It was such a change. Does Cadburys Roses do that for me? No. So why is it soooo hard???
 
Mally hope tomorrow is a better day, it's good you have the week off as first week is the hardest and I always have headache and very tried in first week, so hopefully can rest a little. Yes dieting is the hardest thing I have ever done, but like you for Heath reasons as well. You can do it luv x
