Where to begin.....I originally got to goal in 2003 for my wedding and managed to maintain until I fell pregnant in 2005. I lost more weight following a truely heartbreaking miscarriage in early 2005, which was strange for me as I am generally an emotional eater so if I was a betting person, I would have backed me to gain weight, not lose.
I gained weight during my next pregnancy though!
Following the birth of my daughter in 2006 I messed around with WW and SW for five years, joining various classes, websites etc. and losing a few pounds (which I then quickly found again, lol.) A low note was definately leaving one group in shame when I found myself at a weigh-in being heavier than when I had joined (surely not the point of a slimming club?! :break_diet
In 2010 I did manage to almost to get to goal but, having become a mature student, the stress of working, studying and parenting led me to take solace in the biscuit barrel and during my final year in uni I re-gained a stone.
In January 2011 I fell pregnant with my beautiful son (born in October.) I was quite unwell for most of the latter part of my pregnancy, meaning I didn't gain weight and lost the weight I'd initally put on. This meant after giving birth I weighed what I had done when I first fell pregnant and gave me a massive incentive to stick to the plan properly, as I knew I *only* had about a stone and a half to lose to get to goal.
Having read some of the other weight loss diaries I have been inspired to write my own. I'm hoping that having somewhere to record my thoughts, hopes and struggles will help motivate me to keep on track and remind me on the hard days just how much I really want to crack it this time
So, that's me :wave_cry:
I am into my third week now and have so far lost a total of 5.5lbs - I'm going for my silver 7 this week and plan to get there by upping my exercise and sticking religeously to my daily allowance. It's my sisters birthday this week and we are planning on staying in with a takeaway and bottle of wine on Saturday night to celebrate. I'm hoping though to convince her to get the M&S chinese meal for two as this is on for £10 at the mo (includes bottle of wine) and will be much easier to accurately point than a take away.....just need to think of a way to make her think it was actually her idea......

Well, I thought I was about to meet my maker when I got about a third of the way up! I had to stop a further two times to catch my breath but I knew ds was due a feed and if he woke up I couldn't bare the thought of him screaming whilst I pushed the pram up the hill, so that motivated me to keep going. I was sooooooo chuffed when I reached my front door, partly because it meant the pain would stop (lol) but also because I felt a huge sense of achievement. So that is some activity pp's earned towards Saturday night and 1/3 of my aimed for exercise days achieved!
