Hello!!!
I’m Donna, 24 from Essex! Here for support and advice and to find something to help me get out this plateau, so guess I’ll give a bit of history!
Had a lazy childhood, lack of exercise, too much rubbish food, and hereditary "big" genes!
Aged 18, I was 5"8, and 17st7lbs (111.4kg) / 245lbs.
Had gastric band surgery with a private company aged 18, in 2006, although not many results from that, it gave me the mental kick to control my eating habits and start exercising.
Lost about 1.5/2st in about 4 years!!
2010 I began start of the year with healthy eating, got down to 14st, and maintained around 13st10lb/14st for the next year.
2011 I met my fiancee, i started exercising regularly, 3-4x per week, and eating healthily. As well as having a slight restriction from my gastric band, i mentally was a lot stronger, with less stress etc, and a better job to focus on my own health and eating habits.
I have got down to 11st8lbs / 73.48kg / 162lbs which is the lowest weight of my adult life!
My aim is to get to 10st / 63.5kg / 140lbs, Which I am unsure if my body will get to that as I have very large hips, but still a lot of chunk on my thighs/bum/belly to get rid of!!! Unfortunately due to losing quite a bit I have loose skin on my stomach, bum and arms that I also want to reduce, but can’t seem to see how I’ll get rid of that without plastics :/ Also my chest has disappeared, and left me with those that look like they belong on a much MUCH older woman!!
Hoping to find something to kick start the weight loss again!!
