I've always been overweight, well since I was 11ish and I was quickly whisked off to the dietician at the local hospital...
For the last 26ish years I've been caught between dieting and not bothering. A few years back I lost 5 and a half stone on a extreme calorie restricted diet, it worked, but what a surprise, it didn't actually get to the reason why I eat, so I have nearly gained it all back.
I weighed myself today, and was shocked (but not too surprised) that I've gained 8 pounds in three weeks...
The one thing I've always done is exercised. I run regularly, I'm not very good at it, but since I've re-gained my weight it's become so much harder. I want to lose weight to fit into lovely clothes, to help my fitness and to help me run the Great North Run in September.
I used to do the Slimming World diet and I liked it, and guess what, when I followed it strictly, I actually LOST weight!!!
I'm not re-joining, as I don't really like classes. I think I will follow it online. I'm a vegetarian, so every day is a green day for me.
Start weight: 18.12
Goal weight: 11 stone
