Hi Folks
I am new to the MiniMins Forum after googling for some Slimming World advice, and realised what a fabulous support place this is.
I am back following the Slimming World Plan although I haven't rejoined a group. To share my story so far, I started slimming world in May 2012 at 12st 8lb, at 5ft 1inch, I was size 18/20 and feeling very uncomfortable. I set a target of 9st 4llb and started my journey and with determination and some creativity I lost continuously and reached my target by Dec 12.
At reaching my target I realised that I could afford to go down a few pounds and and adjusted my target to 8st 13lb, I reached that within a couple of weeks and started maintaining.
I did this successfully for several months and all was well. In August 2013 I had to have major surgery and had a full hysterectomy and large fibroids removed, Melon and Grapefruit size, this resulted in my weight dropping about a further 6llbs.
I lost the will to eat sensibly, in fact I seemed attracted to every fatty comfort food I could get my hands on, including some I wouldn't have ate before.
Now of course I have put weight back on and I'm back up to 9st 8lb and my clothes are tight on me. So I'm going for it! I hopefully will get back to my 8st 13lb in a month with help and support from you all. And at the same time support people who are new to Slimming World.
We are stronger together!
