I will win - My weightloss journey

[Emmie]

Well here goes...
Hi i'm Emma and i'm 20. I began to gain weight when I was pregnant with my son a year ago. I found out I was pregnant and just dove into a mountain of sausage butties, kettle chips and chocolate. Using certain excuses such as "cravings".
By this point I had put on almost 4 stone and went from 12st8lbs to 16st5lbs in a matter of months. Well needless to say once the new year came, something had to be done.
So I joined the first SW class of 2013 on the 7th Jan. It is the first group in my area to open and it was lovely knowing that everyone was basically new to the plan, aswell as me.
Well a couple of days passed and after looking on minimins of syn values (and being abit of a lurker) I decided to sign up. And now i'm hooked. There is so much support.
During my first week I lost 4lbs and a further 1.5lbs at my second WI, taking me (just about) into the 15s

Any advice and support would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading

Hi Emma, Emma here lol.

Well done on your losses so far! I only started last week, my first weigh in is tomorrow and im terrified! Ive got a diary too where I chat about my day and what ive eaten (so a weightloss diary duhhhh lol) I noticed we are about the same height and weight so it would be good to keep in touch and see what works for you as youre ahead of me. My mums doing it too but im cooking and ive found the forums fantastic for support and recipes!

Good luck xx

Well today is a new day. I feel better now ive accepted that I wont lose 4lbs every week. (I was being abit unrealistic with myself really lol)
And its morning and im tucking into some lovely chopped banana, with vanilla muller light. Yummy. And waiting for my aches and pains to go so I can carry on with the 30 day shred DVD by Jillian Micheals.

Nice diary! Good luck!

Just under 4st left to lose, easily achievable! You've already lost a huge amount, I count that at around 9% of your loss target has been achieved already. You've had a solid start.

I don't know much about Slimming World though. But I do have a wealth of knowledge regarding exercise if you ever need some advice. Funnily enough, despite my weight, I actually studied quite a lot about physical fitness

Anyway, good luck again. You will do this, November is a good target!

HELL YEAH!!! 3.5lb is a bloody lot, a great week for you! Nice to see the exercise is helping.

You've already lost a very good amount in 3 weeks. Just warning you, that a plateau COULD be coming. It isn't a big deal but so many people quit when their weight loss ceases for a couple of weeks.

As you know, I plateau'd this month. But prepare yourself in case it happens, because it can be disheartening.

It probably won't happen though, at least for a while. I hope to keep seeing magnificent losses! You will certainly reach your monthly goal. Here's to week 4

Oh yes! I totally thought that I was going to gain this week and really I accepted it lol.. I'd actually had a relaxed week really. I did stick to plan, but I felt more at ease with food.. Its definitely a possibility I may plateau this next week.. but I hope for a STS next week I think thats a maintainable goal and i'd be happy with it. I have also been calculating my kcals on mfp and i'm actually having around 1300-1400 daily without even thinking about it. Anyway yes.. here's to week 4
