Hello!
Today I have begun my Slim & Save mission to drop 6 stone. Eek! I will start by admitting I am a serial dieter, and have most likely tried most of the diets under the sun. I know a lot of people say the best way to lose weight is to eat less and move more and that is fine in principle, but I am currently the biggest I have ever been and it is having a huge impact on my life. I could not bear to be losing 0.5lbs/1lb a week for the duration of my weight loss, not when I have so much to lose. On the scales this morning I weighed in at 16 stone exactly, I never thought I would get this big, EVER. But I am, and now I need to do something about it, I HAVE to.
There are SO many reason I want to lose weight but there is one big reason at the moment. It is my hubby and I's 10 year wedding anniversary next year and we have booked a 2 week cruise around the Caribbean in March 2015 to celebrate. I refuse to be overweight for this cruise! I want to be able to enjoy it, wear whatever I like and feel comfortable (hell, might even wear a bikini!!!!), eat whatever I like (within reason), and be happy to have my photo taken.
So today my taster box arrived from Slim and Save, and I'm quite keen to get this first week done and out the way as I know it won't be easy. I have done Cambridge before which was ok, but I couldn't afford it this time around so giving S&S a try. I've seen some inspirational people on here, and hoping that keeping a diary might help me stay on track and maybe help others in the future if I am successful (or should I say WHEN I am successful!)
Will report back later with how I have got on on day 1!
