Well I have decided I need to start a diary as my motivation is already flagging!!
Basic story is I am 27 (28 this week) and have about 7 stone to lose....and thats for starters as that would reach the high end of my healthy weight range.
I did cd before and lost 3 stone quite successfully but have spent the last 2 years battling in my head against the horrific habits I got into, like being afraid to eat real food, and weighed myself daily. Saw the scales creep up and yet felt powerless to do anything about it, because all I could think of was there is no point doing any diet other than a vlcd as nothing will work, so inevitably nothing did work and now I am at my highest weight ever.
Over Christmas I made the decision to rejoin ww, and while at home with my family emailed ww to find my local meetings. Meanwhile, I guess my mum could see how unhappy I am at the moment, and also how much weight I have put on, and has put a challenge to me, which my sister has since joined. Basically the challenge is whoever loses most weight wins, and the others have to give the winner 50 quid, not a lot, but 2 x50 is enough to buy a nice new outfit and shoes!! As an added incentive, my dad said he would pay for my daughters communion gear (which has come to near 600 quid) if I win, BIG incentive!
So I went on my merry way to ww on Jan 7th and weighed in at 17st 3lb, humongous!! Lost 5lb my first week (beat my mum by 1lb) and have been on and off all week with regards to tracking points and I know that I need to in order to make this work.
I joined a gym yesterday, its 30 a month that I cant really afford, so I better make sure I use it (I find it easier to go to the gym than exercise off my own back!) so I have my induction there on Tuesday.
My weigh day is a Wednesday, and this competition with my mum and sister ends on April 29th so I need to get my arse in gear!!
Have been typing this with my bowl of porridge (3 points) so at least I havent given up the tracking completely!
