3. What is your occupation (or students what do you study?)
4. What diet are you on right now?
5. How much do you weigh?
6. How much weight do you hope to lose?
7. What is your favourite diet recipe/diet food?
8. What do you find hardest about dieting?
9. What does 'losing weight' mean to you?

I'll go first:


1. Name: Danni
2. Age: 21
3. What is your occupation (or students what do you study?): Just finished a 3 year degree in Music (got a 2:1) and will be starting my Primary PGCE at Chichester in September
4. What diet are you on right now?: Slimming World
5. How much do you weigh?: Right now? 11st 1.5lbs (but weigh in is tomorrow, fingers crossed!)
6. How much weight do you hope to lose? I want to get down to 9st. So between 1.5st to 2st! Also, by Nov/Dec!!
7. What is your favourite diet recipe/diet food? I love kebabs - wholemeal pitta (HExB), lamb meatballs, lots and lots of fresh salad and garlic mayo on the side. Only a couple of syns for a beautiful meal mmm!!
8. What do you find hardest about dieting? Not being able to eat the same as my boyfriend and friends!! Or panicking when I go to a restaurant and am not sure on the syn value of things!!
9. What does 'losing weight' mean to you? it means i can change who i am. that for me, being beautiful on the outside might make me feel more beautiful on the inside, and more confident to take risks! Also, I've always battled with my weight since I was about 11yrs old so it would be a big achievement for me after a decade to feel comfortable in my own skin! Plus ive never ever ever worn a bikini!!
10. Tell us one interesting/fun fact about yourself? I taught myself guitar last year! I have over 50 videos on youtube, but I'm still quite nervous to play in front of people and have only gigged with my guitar once (but it was so much fun and wanna do it more when i get the time!!)

Thanks

2. Age
31

3. What is your occupation (or students what do you study?)
Academic

4. What diet are you on right now?
Weight Watchers

5. How much do you weigh?
221lb

6. How much weight do you hope to lose?
I am currently aiming for 65kg - so 133lb. Because of my height, I probably should be aiming for 55-60kg but I will review that goal at a later date.

7. What is your favourite diet recipe/diet food?
Spicy South East Asian salads and broths - and WW double chocolate chip cookies!

8. What do you find hardest about dieting?
Planning out food for the day - then sticking to it!

9. What does 'losing weight' mean to you?
Getting my body back. I have gained a frightening amount of weight in a short period of time due to (a) eating rubbish (b) being on high dose oral steroids for nearly two years (c) enforced inactivity due to illness; I have had three lots of neurosurgery and severe rheumatoid arthritis. Losing weight is about feeling more in control of my body again. It's sooooo hard on steroids - but I have lost a stone already (although it is impossible to tell!) and will make sure that I get there!

Not being able to go to macdonalds and pig out (well, i could- but what would be the point, right?)
9. What does 'losing weight' mean to you?
i hope that it will bring back my confidence, and stop me from being paranoid about people making comments about my size.
