Thread: My weight loss journey x

Hi everyone! just a little introduction about myself.

Well my name is Louise, I am not married yet, although I would love to be but the other half hasn't popped the question I have two beautiful boys. my eldest is 4 years old and my other little boy is a beautiful star in the sky he will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. He was stillborn at 35 weeks. I had an a eruption and all most lost my life too due to severe blood loss and ended up in ICU. After all that has happened it made me realize how precious life is and it has given me determination and motivation to do everything that I want to do and on that list is to lose weight and be healthy again. I have no confidence what so ever so I am hoping that me losing weight will help me gain my confidence back. I would like to be able to look at myself and be happy with what i see BUT I am not and I am sick of tired of feeling that way so I am going to do something about it.

I have joined this forum so that I can keep track on my progress and to give me motivation by reading everyone's diary's which are all inspirational and I hope in time to come I can motivate someone else. I also love to see all these different recipes that are on here for me to try.

I have been at slimming world since the 12/3/13 and had my first weigh in last Tuesday and lost 3lb which I was so pleased about. I feel a lot better about myself all ready so I cant imagine how I will feel when I get to my goal.

So that is it really, so good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey. I will update daily on how my day has been, what I have eaten and just generally chit chat.

Take care everyone Louise xxx

Thank you! and I am looking forward to sharing my diary/jorney with you and others. good luck with your journey. take care Louise xx

Hi everyone! it has finally been a nice day apart from being a tad cold. I have woke up this morning to discover it is going to be STAR week!(sorry if that was to much information lol) I am gutted as I am worried it wont show on the scales that i have tried really hard this week so I am nervous as i would like a loss.

Today I have made SW mushroom soup and it is delicious. I made enough so that i could have soup through the week when i cant be bothered to make anything lol

I have also made a beef rogan josh today for my dinner and that also looks delicious. I have made a yogurt dip to go with it with some boiled rice.

I am getting to the point now where i just want to go mad and eat loads of rubbish and i am only at the end of my second week I hope it gets easier and that others go through the same thing.

I will update my food diary of what i have eaten today later on this evening. take care everyone! Louise xx

Hello

So so sorry to hear about your loss. It's great though that you are using it as an inspiration for your weight loss.

Well done for your first weigh in. I know all about the struggle of wanting to eat loads - I've just had my first gain after being silly!

Looking forward to seeing how you get on
