hello, I'm new onto minimins and after reading this thread I thought I would post.
My history is that at my heaviest I weighed in at 19 st 1 lb, still to this day can't believe I ever got that big!!
It took me 2 and 1/2 years to loose 5 1/2 stone on w.w but that was during my first two years of university plus I went to America for 3 months twice in that time and somehow still managed to loose!
Then in septemeber last year I was fed up of the slow weight losses and decided to try Cambridge. I lost a further 2 1/2 stone in just under 3 months, a total of 8 stone gone which I am very pleased about!!
However from december to early february I messed around with it, I mainly struggled because it was my last year of university and I felt I was really missing out on the social side, especially as I hadn't really enjoyed my first year because I was so big and had no confidence!
So anyway.......I have managed to maintain 11 stoneish for the last 6 months(going up and down by about 5lbs) at the minute I'm 11 stone 5lbs, and I started back on cambridge on sunday so its day three and so far its going well! I'm seeing my counsellor tonight for my first official weigh in
(I was able to start on sunday as I had leftover shakes from 6 months ago!)
I also have a consultation on monday for a tummy tuck as the skin on my abdomen, breasts, top of thighs, arms etc... is so loose and being 21 it looks strange and really affects what clothes I can wear
Is anybody in the same position of needing surgery after loosing weight(or plan to have it once they've lost the weight)
Anyway I think I've waffled on about myself for long enough now, well done to all of you for deciding to get back on it. I was a serial re-starter for about a month and I think you just have to put your mind to it and stick to it, I know its easier said than done, believe me!! But the more you mess around the harder it is to finally get on with it, plus you then feel guilty for all the time/money you've wasted(well I certainly did anyway!)
Good Luck everyone, I hope you're all having a good day
