Well thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 26 and I've been struggling with my weight for most of my life (since age 8 ish) my mum took me to dance classes as a young child (age 3-8) to keep my weight in check but then when I left dance the weight piled on. My teen years were spent yo yo dieting, then gaining more weight than I'd lost. On leaving school, my weight was 15stone.
Throughout my time at university my weight went up even more. When I graduated, I was 16 1/2 stone.
Over the next 4 years I'd managed to keep it steady, although not happy with how I looked I was coping with not gaining, until last year. I got into a relationship and felt contented... a few months later, I noticed my clothes had become tighter. On weighing myself last year on new years day, I noticed my weight had gone up to 18 stone 10 lbs
So this year, I've got my weight back down to 16stone 2lbs (even lost 2 lbs over christmas this year) through slimming world and gym twice a week. I do want to get it down to 12 and a half. I'm currently a dress size 16/18 (I don't know what I was last year as I was wearing leggings and cardigans as coats.) I'd imagine maybe a 20/22. I'd love to fit into a size 12/14. As I'm tall (5ft10) I don't want to go any slimmer than that.
Hoping to share in weight loss journeys.
