Hi everyone,
Mind if I join in on the bandwagon? Like Happyem72 I'm trying to do it at home as I dont have the time or pennies to really go to classes so I could benefit from a bit of moral support and egging on really. Plus I'm new here so could do with making some friends!
I'm currently 11st10 so around about the same weight as you - was at the 12 stone mark but lost a few pounds just through calorie counting and depriving myself. Decided to go back on SW to give it some structure and so I could eat yummy things without feeling guilty.
Hoping to get to the 10stone mark by April next year - secretly I would like it to be a lot sooner but think that's a pipe dream.
I'm always really good on the plans for the 1st 2-3 weeks and then I just get a bit lazy and start to drift off into an extra syn here and there and low and behold the target never happens.
I'm also doing the gym and I don't know why I'm worried that this will slow down my weightloss (seems a bit backwords) but I am. Think it might be something to do with muscle being heavier than fat that gets branded around all the time.
I'm trying to do extra-easy days, but I find I struggle to have the healthy extra's on these days and don't know if that will stop me loosing? Sometimes at the end of the day when i've not had any b choice healthy extra's I just switch it to a green day so i'm covered but not sure that's how its supposed to work really!
Anyway - well done on your progress so far, you sound really motivated and up for it - you'll be skinny minnies in no time if you keep up the hard work!
