Proud to be a LOSER :)
Hi everyone
I've been a MiniMins snooper for a while and thought that I will officially become a member of this supportive forum now that I have made a choice to focus on my weight and lifestyle.
Erm, little bit about me. I'm 21, I am a university student in my final year (yes, very hectic) and plan to undertake a PGCE this coming September.
The diet I am doing is Slimming World. Why? Because I've done Atkins, I've done calories, I've done all the fad diets and this isn't one of them. It changes how I look at food and honestly works for me. Between Jan 2009 and Oct 2009 I lost under 2 stone taking me from a massive 12st 4lbs (i blame on a stressful first semester at Uni) to 10st 7lbs. Unfortunately, in the last year it has slowly crept back on and now I am 11st 4lbs. According to my Wii Fit, I need to lose 18lbs in order for my BMI to be at a 'healthy' level. Plus 10 stone has a nice ring to it dontcha think?
So from today, Jan 22nd, I am sticking to my diet and I am going to lose that 18lbs. I don't know how long it will take me. I'm not going to push myself. 1-2lb a week seems healthy and as long as I'm ready for Summer then I will be happy
Further to the new year/new start reason, I recently split up with a boyfriend who meant alot to me. I think thats what has urged me to join a group such as this because I really think the support you guys offer is remarkable and I would love to be a part of that. And I guess a diet is something I need to do and sticking to it 100% will take my mind off everything else.
Hope to speak to you all soon. Don't hesitate to message me or let me know how all your diets are going? Anyone else balancing dieting and Uni life, would be good to hear from you!
Much love,
Danni
