[FONT=&] [FONT=&]Hello![/FONT]
[FONT=&]For those that haven't seen my post in introductions - I've been on (and more often, off) Slimming World for a couple of years now, and after losing a couple of stone and my weight going up and down with my motivation I am now only a few pounds lighter than where I started years ago![/FONT]
[FONT=&]After being a reader of this forum for a long time I've decided to join in. I started following the plan properly a fortnight ago and I have started going to the gym regularly to do the Couch to 5k challenge and a few other bits besides.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]I've lost 7.5lb in the last 2 weeks but I know that my motivation tends to be short-lived so I'm going to keep a diary on here and hopefully join in on the other threads too, as I find many of the posts on here so inspiring.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]My confidence has gone to pot and I feel like a shadow of who I was a few years ago, even my friends are commenting now on how my opinion of myself is holding me back in life.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]I'm getting married in May next year and currently, the idea of trying dresses on in a shop, in front of my best friend TERRIFIES me - so I don’t know how I will ever get down the aisle if I don't do something about me weight and my confidence.[/FONT]
So, I started a fortnight ago, I'm having my weighs in on a Monday. The first week I lost 7lb and the second (this morning's weigh in - I lost 1/2lb - which I'm a bit gutted about ifI'm honest - which is why I thought I'd join in on here to try to make me plan and keep on track.
Here goes nothing!
