Hi, my names Michelle, I'm 41 and I've been dieting on and off for decades, lol. Not done SW in a few years and heard it had changed, so decided to join with a friend and I am going to give it my all and hope that I can get back to my pre-pregnancy weight once and for all (my kids are 17 and 15 :sigh.
When I left home at 18, I was way too skinny at 9.5 stones and by the time I got pregnant for the first time I weighed in at 11 stones. At my heaviest I was 15st 13lb and bordering a UK size of 22, and I am weighed in at SW yesterday at 14st 4.5lb, and i'm about a size 18. I had gotten down to 13st 4lb last July and then had a seizure and was started on Epilepsy meds, which caused my to rapidly gain a stone :cry: - which I just haven't been able to shift, even tho I was cleared of epilepsy in November and have since been clear of medication....
So, a brief life story... setting myself an interim goal of 12st, because I think its more do-able if it doesn't seem too far away. I have tried many diets in my lifetime, WW, SW, Cambridge, Atkins, South Beach, Facial Type, Blood Type and goodness knows how many others - I love fruit, pasta and jacket potatoes...so here's hoping this new SW Extra Easy Plan will do the trick - and with all your support too!!!
Pleased to meet you all
