Hello, I've been with Slimming World for four weeks, tonight will be my fifth weigh in, and I am really encouraged. I weighed myself at home (as I always do) and I weigh the least I have in over a year! What an easy weight loss/life change this program is!!
About five years ago I lost about 70 pounds (5 stone), on my own with counting calories, and over the past two years have gained 20 pounds (1.6 stone) back. I refuse to allow myself to go back to where I was so I have joined SW to take control before it is too late. I had originally wanted to lose another stone (in addition to the 5) but never got around to it so hopefully, with SW, I can lose that bit extra and get down to my personal ideal weight. (Which is still at the high end of "normal" but I don't want to be skinny, just healthy.)
A little more info about me, I am 51, an American living in Scotland, divorced but living with the love of my life, a mom, a gramma and I work full time. My baby is 17 and lives with me and my partner, will finish secondary school this year and is looking at his options for uni next year. I have my BA and an MLitt.
I hope to keep track of what's working and what isn't on here, get encouragement when I need it, and encourage others who may be struggling.
Hope you all have a great SW 100% day!
