I joined slimming world in January 2012 weighing 14stone1/2pound. I have since got down to 10st7 but I am just struggling with the last 5lbs so I thought I would start a diary on here as it may make me more accountable to my binges etc!!
I did join previously in November 2010 and weighed 11st but really really did not like my consultant so I never went back and needless to say didn't follow the plan and piled an additional 3stone on.
It all went wrong for me (weight-wise anyway) when I met my partner - yep that old chesnut! I was a size 10-12 before that and had previously lost weight with weightwatchers. I hated feeling deprived though so I thought this time around I would try slimming world.
My tipping point was xmas/new year. xmas 2011 was our first in our new home and we had taken soooo many photos. My boyfriend went and had them all printed off and I sat and cried. I was much much bigger than I had ever been. and I looked so puffy and unhealthy! So 10th January I walked back into SW (thankfully with a new consultant and my Dad as moral support!)
I lost 5lbs the first week and while after that my losses have slowed dramatically down I have still had a general downward trend - with a few inevitable gains along the way. Slow and steady wins the race :s haha.
My partner proposed in October 2012 and it is our wedding 16th November 2013 (yep in less than 4 weeks time!) So my dream is to be at target by then. Then I'll be trying to maintain and decide whether I want to go lower.
So I am going to try and record food exercise and general feeling around food to try and see if this will help and maybe pinpoint some of my danger zones. I dont mind if no one reads it, more of something for me to see, but if anyone wants to point anything out or have a general chat feel free
