Lisa's second time round, first time diary :)

[teacheronww]

Okay tried to post this earlier but does not seem to show up so here we go again

Hi all,

Been on the site now for a few days and have found everyone so encouraging and full of great advice so have decided like many of you to start a diary. Feel free to follow me and any advice you have would be much appreciated.

So here's my story...

My name is Lisa, I'm turning 26 at the end of this month and I work as a teacher in Dublin. I was a dancer for years and had a super toned, skinny body! But, alas, it all went downhill when I quit as a teenager for nights out, work and a boy As the years went on I got fatter and fatter, the boy left (not worth it anyway ) and I ended up miserable, fat and alone. I was the fat friend on nights out and the fat teacher in school...so not the Lisa that I feel inside.

So after a few shocking photos at a friend's wedding in January, I joined ww. I was 12stone 7 - quite large for my petite 5ft2 frame. I found it quite easy and enjoyable and the weight fell off. I stopped counting in May of this year after losing 2stone and pretty much maintained by making good food choices. However, I started to slip up with the odd shneaky chinese and put on a few pounds again. Nothing major but do not want to end up the way I was before and it happened so gradually that I can see how easily it could happen again.

So here I am - 10stone 6 1/4 pounds (as of today's weigh in) and hoping to reach my goal of 8stone 13. Plan is to lose 7lbs by Dec, 10lbs by Christmas and the rest between then and Easter 2013. That's the plan anyway.

So feel free to pass on any advice or encouragement or if there are any recipes you would like, let me know and I will post

Lis
