Ok, so I have posted on here numerous times before but I am back and on track!
Story is.....18 months ago after returning from a holiday and seeing a hideous picture of myself, I signed up to slimming world, was nearly 11 stone and at 5ft 2" I didn't feel comfortable or look nice in my own opinion. So long story short I ended up losing 2 stone and was at my perfect weight of 9 stone. I felt so happy in myself, and just wanted to maintain the weight. So stupidly I thought 'I'm now at my goal weight, no need to go to the meetings anymore' Well that was stupid as I put on half a stone, no big deal but I felt it! Anyway, I have recently got married and went on a fantastic honeymoon to the Caribbean, where I put on half a stone due to the yummy all inclusive cocktails and food (hey if you can't eat and drink what you like on honeymoon, when can you!?) So anyway, I am now back and wanting to lose this stone I have gained. I go to the gym alot, usually 6 times a week - I do between 30 minutes - 1 hour a day, and I find that my weight loss isn't as much as people keep telling me 'muscle is heavier than fat' which is fine, but still annoying!
I'm not going to the meetings, because I know I can do it myself at home, I do have the determination and if everyone on here can help me along the way then that will be even better! Plus.....(i know i shouldn't feel like this) but I felt like people in group were looking at me as if to say 'why are you here? you don't need to lose weight' so felt self-conscious. When I always say it's how you feel in yourself, and right now I want to be 9 stone again before my holiday on 9th October! So 1 stone to lose and I know I can do it, just need my MiniMins with me on this journey
