Nicky's Diary

[Nicpic]

Well here I go! First day of the diet today. I'm 35, married and mother to my DD who is four and a half. The past few years have been really tough as my daughter suffered hypoxia during delivery which has resulted in brain damage and a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. I've used food and alcohol to some extent to reward and comfort myself in the evenings and my weight is now a staggering 18st 6lbs that's five stone in five years I've put on. Been overweight for a long time but I am ready to kick its backside once and for all!
Tried all the diets in the world (it feels like!) except sns and after lots of research and inspiration from you lovely lot, it's time for me to wave bye bye to my size 22 tents
I've a huge motivation, which is my DD. I need to be fit and healthy for her sake as she needs me 24/7. Also we've been thinking about another baby (gulp)... It's time.
So any advice, support, inspiration etc will be great received. I SO want to get there this time. I want to wear a vest top and denim shorts this summer
Watch this space

Hey Nicky,

Welcome to S&S, I too am a newbie and only started last Saturday so it would be great to support one another. I am through Ketosis now (I think lol) and am concentrating on the losses. I am 31 this year and a size 20 and 16st12lbs so i am in this for the longhaul. I am determined not to go back to my bad eating ways either and like you i would like to have a baby and dont want to be morbidly obese :sigh:. Good luck xx

Hi. Good luck to you too! I've been 100% too. It's nice to get through the first day, isn't it?! Early night for me to avoid temptation although to be honest I'm feeling focused

Welcome and well done on getting through your first day , the next few days are the hardest. Then you'll be in Ketosis and it's so much easier, no hunger and more get up and go
Enjoy your early night xx
