Well hello there all!
The story of my weight problem starts farther back than I can remember... Chubby kid, chubby teen, chubby adult!! Slogged away for a year on WW lost 2 stone met the man of my dreams and thought I had it sorted...
Then as that relationship broke down, I sought solace in food and went from 11st to over 17st in about a year. When he finally ended it I was 239lbs or 17st 2. At 5ft 7 this made my BMI a dangerous 38. 2 days after it ended I joined lighter life and lost the whole 6 stone in 7 months. Was so pleased. That lasted about a week! Gained weight rapidly again as I comfort ate, rewarding or punishing myself with food however I saw fit. It wasn't until I was back over 200lbs that I suddenly stopped and looked at myself, so ashamed I'd let it all go. Lost about 2 stone on Exante that time and have been hovering between 12 and 13 1/2 stone, desperately unhappy. I decided a month of strict Exante in January would kick start my year of weight loss then I would move to slimming world for a permanent lifestyle adjustment.
Weighed in at SW on Weds at 12st 7lbs, exactly a stone lighter than 1st Jan. have read all the literature and have to say I'm pretty amazed that you can eat all this food and still lose weight? Am also pretty excited about this journey.
I hope you'll join me in my highs and lows over the next few months. Once I get back to 11st I'll be pretty happy, but my ultimate goal is 9 st 13lbs, this means I'll have lost 100lbs in total. Plus I hope to be a size 10 at this weight, which I can honestly say I have never been.
Good Luck Everybody!!
