for this thread! But I did think it was about time to introduce myself to all you lovely supportive people!
Let's see, I am a supply teacher (primary) and spend lots of my winter coppicing - as in chainsaw and felling trees, dragging logs, chopping wood etc. One might think that would make me very fit and healthy but it doesn't seem to! So, got to 12 st 8 and decided I really really needed to do something about it. I refused to begin to buy size 18 clothes so had nothing to wear! A lovely friend of mine introduced me to SW and I do it from home. I have lost 13lbs since mid Dec. A touch slow and this last lb for my stone is stuck! lol BUT, I am now a 14 - 16 again and I do feel much better. I am aiming for below 10 stone.
I do mostly EE days, although as we don't eat much meat I wonder about looking into green days. Not got my head around that yet. Fruit and veg are yummy and I love Britmum's Slimming eats site.
I have started the Couch to 5 K and did manage to complete week 1 day 1 today! Yeah me! have a dodgy knee so not sure how much running I can do. I will take it slowly. Like cycling and will get back into that when the weather is more pleasant.
Ok, that is me - I might put up food diaries sometimes, but not sure about it! Bit lazy...
Food wise I am a muddle as I am mostly wheat and oat free which means almost everything I eat is rice based (bread, pasta, lasagne are all made of rice)
I am enjoying this site and being slightly obsessed with reading up on things. Your insights and support are so great and I hope I can encourage others!
Right, now to drink my second pint of water
best wishes all
