:wave_cry: Right so lets start...
Hello to everyone, a little bit about me.
My name is Gina, I'm 28 (or 18 as I tell people) and I'm mum to a little girl of 2 (on the 18th June).
I've battled with my weight all my life. 4 years ago I started making changes as my partner and I were struggling to concieve and I went from 16 stone down to 13. Not long after I found out I was pregnant and the diet went on the backburner and ate myself into a happy preggers oblivion (not helped by the fact I quit smoking). My daughter was born and d-day arrived I stepped on the scales and bloody eck I was 16st 4LB. To be honest I was upset but I had more pressing things to be concerned about so I concentrated on being a mum.
I went to 15 st 8 and thats when I decided enough was enough. I tried every diet in the book and go nowhere so I went to see the doc and was pescribed the heavenly pill that is reductil, everything was going well and I got down to my lowest ever weight of 13st 8 and was struck down by a massive kidney infection that left me in hospital for almost 2 weeks, when I returned home on the docs orders I had a rest from reductil and the weight gradually started to creep on and then by the time I was ready to start again it had been banned
Last wednesday I went to see the doc and I've been pescribed Xenical and so far so good.
Friday and Saturday were killers I was really hungry but stuck to lots of low fat foods rather than cramming myself with crisps etc and then today I've hit a wall and to be honest have struggled to get anything down I just have 0% appetite (which trust me is not like me).
I've been jogging everyday since Friday and today I've done pump it up DVD (my fave).
On Wednesday I weighed in at 14st 2LB and I have some very big motivations for getting my weight down this time. I'm 5.5 and I carry most of my weight round my stomach and we all know there big risk factors, my dad is exactly the same (as are my sisters) and he was diagnosed with a heart condition/diabetes in his mid 30's (very young) he has in the last 3 months had his drivers licence took away as the diabetes has left him virtually blind. I look at my daughter and think there is no way I'd ever let her see that happen to me. I have way to much to live for.
My second motivation is I'm getting married in Dec, and I just so happened to walk in a shop 3 weeks ago and see my dream dress hung up in the sale just so happens that dress is 2 sizes too small :cry:
Best get my arse in gear and get into it because I bought it lol
