Hi there, Letresta here and this is my first post on Minimins.
I have been looking around for about 3 days reading the posts and checking out the weight loss pictures along with reading people's weight loss diaries. Which inspired me gratley into joining the forum. I started Slimming World back on the 22nd of May 2012 and I weighed 13 stone 1 1/2 pounds. Since then I have, it has been like a rollercoaster with some weeks losing other times gaining. I was 15 stone and 4 pounds back in September 2011, but that was due to the fact that I started living with my grandmother and adapting to new food habits. (Completly different now).
At the moment I weigh 13 stone exactly, and starting next Wednesday (25th of July 2012), I am going to be restarting my journey in order to lose weight. By then I will have weighed so I know what weight I am going to start off as. I am aiming to be 8 and a half stone, when that will be I do not know. However there is no rush, because taking small steps will ensure that I will lose weight regardless.
I am losing the weight in order to feel confident about myself, get over my stage fright, fear of cameras and my health. Also it will give me a positive outlook on my future. Being 17 is difficult and I see teenagers my age or younger and they look so much healthier and fitter than myself. I am not trying to fit in but it would be nice to look the way I used to be from when I was 9 years old, then I started gaining the weight.
Here we go, new start, new me.
Even if it isn't a new year.
