Hi everyone, hope you are all well.
After umming and arring about posting my before and after pictures on here I have finally decided to do it.
Basically, I have been overweight pretty much my whole life even as a child and even more so as a teenager, when I hit the age 17/18 (basically once I'd started college) I tipped the scales at 15st which for my small and young 5'4 frame is a lot of weight to be carrying around (or was for me personally). I decided enough was enough and I had to do something or else I'd just continue to gain the weight. Over the summer of 2010 I had managed to lose 2st by myself by making small changes to my diet (not following any specific diet) and started exercising. I stayed at around 13st for a couple of years until I finished my first year of university, this was the point where I decided that I needed to get healthy and stay that way.
So I walked into my first Slimming World meeting on the 12th June 2012 and I have never looked back! I reached target (9st 5lb) on the 9th of April 2013 by losing a further 3st 8lb on top of the 2st lost previously. I am now a proud target member and couldn't thank my group/ consultant enough for all of the support they have given me over the last year and a bit. I will definitely continue to go to group (especially considering now I can go for free) in order to keep the weight off.
My main aim was to be healthy by the time I reached 21 (which will be at the end of next month) and stay that way for life unlike when I turned 18.
I don't consider myself an inspiration by any means but I wanted to share my story as I hope it will prove that the plan works if you are committed enough, and that for me at least it is not a diet but a whole new way of living.
Thanks for reading if you managed to get this far!
