Right thought it was about time I started one of these things...
Name's Laura, been "chubby" my entire life always size 14 as an adult. Gained weight at Uni and lost 2 stone at WeightWatchers but it took a whole year! Kept it off for 4 years, then went through a bad break up and ballooned up to 17st!!
Bit the bullet in Feb 2011 and lost 6 stone in 7 months on LighterLife. I liked the absolutes of meal replacement, took the stress of choosing and cooking and temptation out of the equation. Ashamed to say I quickly put 3 stone back on. Went on Exante and lost 2 stone, then put 1 of those back on! Soooo infuriating to keep yo-yoing like this.
I know why I gain weight, I know how to count calories and eat sensibly I just eat too much junk when I'm bored, sad, lonely etc!!
So when my size 14 jeans got too tight over Christmas, thought enough is enough and ordered more Exante. Planning on doing it for a month and then switching to Slimming World as I know loads of people who've sustainably lost weight on that.
Weighed in on 1st January at 189lbs (13st 7). Been 100% and tried to drink plenty of water.
Weighed in yesterday prior to night shifts (3.5 days in) and was 182lbs!! Which is 7lbs already! Super pleased.
Just wish I didn't feel so hungry!!
Onwards and downwards everybody!!
