Hi everyone.

[mrstomo]

My names is mand and i`m 33 years old. I decided to join SW the other day, after one of my old work friends asked me if I was pregnant. It made me feel a bit crappy, so I decided that it was about time i tried to shift a bit of lard.
I`ve been following the EE plan and I`m not realy sure i`m doing it right to be honest. Im going to ask my SW adviser to go through it with me again when I go back to the meeting on Monday.
I`ve had a bit of a set back today and i have been quite naughty, but i`m going to get back on track tomorrow.
Hope to see you all round the forum

Hi Mand, am new here too, that is a bit crappy to ask if you were pregnant! Though must admit I look like I am just now

Hope they explain that diet for you and good luck

Hi Mandy, welcome to the forums!

I know exactly how you feel, a couple of months ago I bumped into an acquaintance of mine whom I hadn't seen in some years. She asked me how many months I was along. I replied that I wasn't pregnant, and she said ohh did you just have a baby. I said "No, I'm just fat!" I felt blah for the rest of the day.

mrstomo, yeah comments like that really throw you off for the day. It makes you realize how big you really are, when you were thinking hmmm I'm not that bad.
