My Road To A Fitter Me

[marybobs]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Maryanne. I am a 28 year old from Meath in Ireland. I stumbled across Minimins back in June when I started my weightloss journey. I was delighted to see it up and running now as I want to be able to meet like minded people and to hopefully share some inspiration. I started at 14 st 3.5 pounds (199.5lbs or 90.6kg) My current loss stands at 17.5lbs. I am following the Slimming World plan and doing some light exercise.
I love to cook, and I will update all my recipes for you all to enjoy and critic, as I am finding some of the new ways of cooking somewhat tough to master. For Example: The Fried Egg! How the hell does one cook it perfectly in Frylight?!

I post all my meals on my insta account and ill share them here, but if you want to follow me its @maryannesw

Warm Wishes

Hi mary. Just popping by to subscribe. I am in Ireland too. Originally uk but been living here nearly 14 years.

Well done on your loss so far, I was wanting to do weight watchers or slimming world but can't really afford it right now.

 

[marybobs]

Thanks Rach. Yeah they can be quite expensive going to the groups, but I got loads of recipes off here from some of the great cookbook threads and tweaked them to suit me. Its really easy to follow the plan once you cook the meals the right way.

A nice suprise in the post today. Looks like my other half was listening to me when I was saying I am ready for this.

Ooh lucky you what a lovely thoughtful husband you have. I have the fitbit one somewhere . Always losing things.

 

[marybobs]

Not a husband yet, but hopefully someday. I was using a fitness tracker on my phone, but I keep putting my phone in my bag or leaving it in the car.

 

[Rachgleeson]

Oops sorry my mistake haha. Hint hint to your other half

Good job on the progress so far! I just bought a fitbit today as well but i might exchange it for the one with the heart rate monitor.

 

[marybobs]

Yeah he got me the one with the heart rate. I really like it. Aparently it takes 462 steps to make homemade burger and chips for dinner!

Had to laugh at the fried egg statement. It took me a while to master how to fry an egg without it looking like scrambled egg or burnt underneath lol I tend to spray a generous amount then fry one low to moderate heat xx

 

[marybobs]

Its so true. I'm slowly learning the ways of the frylight chef. My fitness diary isn't getting much action yet. The weathers not been great so I havent been out much. New year new Start.

Goals
5 hours walk a week
Build up squats

We had flash floods due to immense amounts of rain we had, feel for those in Cumbria bless them xx I've tried counting housework as exercise but not really worked lol x

 

[marybobs]

Oh no @Smurfette1984 really scarey a lot of my hometown got flooded I don't get it as bad where I am but I live close to the sea so the cliff walks aren't advised when the gales are blowing so bad.

 

[Smurfette1984]

Oooo I can imagine xx where abouts are you xx I always wanted to live in Scarborough x

 

[marybobs]

I'm in Donegal in Ireland. But I come from near Dublin

I'm in Donegal in Ireland. But I come from near Dublin

Oooo Dublin is such a lovely place xx

 

[marybobs]

Yeah the shopping is pretty good and the architecture but I just love living up here it may not have the best shopping but the views and the walks are amazing.

 

[Smurfette1984]

see once kids are slightly older I'm gonna start taking them on hiking holidays as love seeing the scenery
