Hello all!
I'm 25, from the North West and this is my third bash at SW. I joined Nov 2010 and lost 20lbs in 3 months but wasn't quite at target. I stopped going (i can't even remember why now!) and put a little back on, tried calorie counting which worked but drove me potty.
I dabbled in Dukan for 3 weeks in April and lost a stone but was miserable as sin! I then put it back on! Lol
Hmm...i then went back to a different SW group in June of this year and lost 7lbs in 3 weeks but my heart wasn't in it at all, i was dragged along by my sister who didn't want to go to a group alone. So when she stopped going i didn't feel the urge to continue.
So here i am now! I joined my original group back from Nov 2010 last Weds, so the 12th September. I was a shocking 12st 9...that is only 1.5lbs less than my start weight the first time i joined!! So in 2 years i have lost and gained and lost and gained the same weight. Yo yo is my middle name
Well i am now ready wholeheartedly to give it another go. I have no occasions or nights out coming up, got all the weddings etc out of the way, i'm no longer at uni so no stress of exams which have certainly hindered me in the past few years; life's pretty good at the minute so this is the perfect time to get going.
I have set an interim target at 11st 8, half way through my 30lb goal. Club 10 is around 11st 5 i think, then my next interim is 11st. This is the weight i fit comfortably in a size 12 and brings me into a healthy weight according to the BMI. Once i get to this point i don't care if it takes me 6 months to reach my target of 10st 7.
I've decided to combine this diary with my food diary too and will now follow with the past 6 days (inc. today) and update tomorrow's after my first weigh in. I'm aiming for 15 syns a day and 3-4 litres of water depending on whether i exercise. This amout of water and exercise is normal for me although i havn't exercised much in the last couple of weeks so not to sweat my spray tan off!
Here goes...
