Hi
Have been on the forum a while but am only starting my diary now so here is my story........
I am 41, married with 2 children, living in Co. Wicklow, Ireland. I have been overweight for a long long time but was at my heaviest when I joined ww on 30th June. I weighed in at 17st 7 lbs.
My inspiration to start is because my niece is getting married on 28th May next year and I want to be able to wear something nice. I can never wear dresses and would love to be able to get into a nice one. Another reason is that i am on a lot of medication, some of which I think if I was lighter I may be able to cut out. I am on steroids too and it is so easy to blame them for my weight but the truth is I was heavy before I started on them! The great thing is that my two nieces and my brother in law are doing weight watchers with me.
Up to 28th August I had lost 22.5 lbs. Slight blip last week - was away for the weekend, had a marvellous time but put on 1lb. Bold beer. Am back on track now and hope to have lost it and another one on Tuesday night for my weigh in.
Have started walking too which is a first for me. I have an office job and really had no exercise so am really glad i have got out and am doing it. I walk for about 40 mins 4 or 5 times a week.
Ok enough babbling on from me. Ill be talking to you all again soon.....
