Hi, Im Amanda
Im 24 and have two beautiful children, a daughter who is nearly four and a son who is 11 weeks today. Im engaged to a wonderful man and we are planning to get married in Aug 2013.
Im currently around 16st6 and am 5ft5 and a size 18 top and 20/22 bottom. Ive been overweight all my life and have just gradually gotten fatter and fatter over the years due to my pregnancies and the fact I cant stop eating lol.
I want to be slim, I have never been able to walk into a shop and just buy what I want, before my daughter at 20 I was a size 16/18 and had generally been a size 16 since 13 years old. Though now a size 16 seems pretty good lol
So this is it now, tomorrow is the start of the rest of my life as slim Amanda. My son is settling into a bit of a routine now and i have written out a routine for all of us to follow and stick too.
Half my battle will be organisation, I am the most dis-organised person ever and I need to get that into order so I know what Im doing all the time.
Weigh in day will be Mondays, off to buy scales on pay day on Friday. I will be following the SW diet but probably not strictly all the time, I know you must count syns for say a tin of soup but its easy for me to do with the kiddies and surely its gotta be better than the pasty and macdonalds i was eating before lol.
So here we go
Goals
23rd October: lose 7lbs
1st December: lose 14lbs
10th March which is a friends wedding: be in a size 16 dress!!
Ultimate Goal: Size 12 wedding dress!!!
