2015 will be my year......

Hey all, new here and about to start my 2015 challenge.

I've yoyo dieted all my life and I now realise that changing my lifestyle is the only way I'll change the way I look. There's no quick fixes.

So about me, I'm 37 5 ft 8 and currently too scared to step on scales. I think I was 13 stone 5 before Christmas and believe me I've not scrimped on anything this year so I expect I've added at least half a stone. I have an under active thyroid too so find I can put on weight just thinking about food which I do all day every day haha.

I love food of all descriptions and have a big issue with portion control so need to get that under control to help shrink the belly. I'm going back to slimming world as well as the gym that I pay for but don't use. I ideally want to lose 2 stone but more importantly I want to get fit.

So I hope to find some inspiration here and I'm sure there's loads as well as support.

Good luck to everyone that's challenging themselves for a new healthier 2015. Here's to us ☺

Hey Gingerkat I'm here to follow your journey. Have you done slimming world before? That's what I plan to start for maintaince. X

Good luck Gingerkat - I was too scared to step on the scales too and found out I was 10lbs more than I thought I would be once I finally plucked up the courage - but I'm glad I did - it's spurred me to to do something about it. Hope your 2015 challenge goes well!

Hi Honey-J, sorry I didn't reply to your message. My start to a new me in 2015 didn't go well. I am back at SW now praying I can control myself over Christmas a little. I will make it but it will take time and patience. How has your 2015 journey been. I hope you've done better than me xx

Hi Blue here
Thank you for your message and sorry I didn't respond a lot sooner. I messed up 2015 but have hopes for a slimmer me for 2016. I definitely feel I have more purpose now and I know I can do this. Note to self ... no need to go crazy over Christmas. I hope your 2015 has been good. Xx

Good luck gingerkat! May 2016 yield tighter belts for the both of us.
