Hi!
I'm new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself properly before I start posting!
My name's Megan and I'm 30 with two daughters aged 2 and 3. I've struggled with my weight for about 10 years, but especially since 2008 when my first baby was stillborn 3 days before his due date for no apparent reason.
I think it would be fair to say that I have developed some really bad eating habits. I work 3 days a week in an office where there's always cake and biscuits readily available and I used to pick at them when I was bored. I also tend to binge eat, sometimes going until the late afternoon before eating when I'm at home and then bingeing on whatever I can get my hands on when I realise I'm hungry.
My husband and I have decided to start the Slimming World plan together. I did the plan back in 2006 and lost 2 stone for my best friend's wedding, so I know the plan works, but the weight started creeping back again on when I stopped attending. We're not actually going to the meetings as we would struggle to find the time, but are being supported by a friend who is attending a group as well.
Anyway, so I am 5'3" and my starting weight on Monday this week was 16 stone 3lb. It's a massive thing for me to share my weight as I've always found it really embarrassing. I have decided to set myself small targets (7lb before a night out in 2 weeks, a stone and a half by Christmas etc etc) but my goal weight at the moment is 13 stone which is what I weighed when my husband and I bought our first house together 10 years ago.
I look forward to getting to know everyone and getting some hints and tips for the Slimming World plan.
