Original I know lol but it's exactly what I am doing!
I am Claire I'm 37 live on the Powys / shropshire border I have 2 children ages 5 and 8 and married for 12 yrs in July.
A few weeks ago I was the heaviest I have ever been, even when 9 months pregnant. I have no excuses I like my food and eat too much and don't exercise, no body to blame but myself!
I've played on and off with slimming world since my son was born, loosing up to 2 stone and regaining it!
In preparation to go on a caravan holiday about 3 weeks ago I discovered I couldn't get into my cropped jeans, the last time I wore them (September) I vowed I wanted to loose 1 1/2 stone, so I was gutted to say the least as I had put on 1 1/2 stone instead
I got dressed and went to buy some slim fast shake and thought I would give it a go, a bit dubious as I suffer with hypoglycaemia ( blood sugar dropping, resulting in headaches, the shakes, feeling sick and possibility of passing out)
Any way it seems to suit me, in my first week I lost 8 lb then we went away for 10 days and I gained 1 lb not so bad, but got straight back on to plan on my return.
Weigh day today and I am now 12st 11lb that is a fab 10 lb loss in total.
I've stuck to the plan 100% although I haven't had the time to exercise like I wanted but things have eased up now and hopefully I will be exercising 3 times a week.
My ultimate goal is to be 10 st that means I will of lost 3 stone in total, going to Greece in 12 weeks so if I could be 11st to 11 1/2st that would be fantastic.
I really want to reach my goal weight by Christmas, I've given myself that long as I expect the weight loss to slow down, and anticipating plateaus at some points, but it would be fantastic to have a choice of clothes from my wardrobe instead of wearing the same old things cos I can't get into any other clothes lol.
Well that's me in a nut shell...
