Hi I'm Nikki and I'm 27 years old.
I started putting on weight after my OH was discharged from the Royal Marines. In the past 6-7 months I have gained 2 stone. 7lbs of which I have put on since I gave up smoking 2 and half weeks ago.
I've never been a picker with food, I tend to just stick to main meals but I have no skills when it comes to measuring portion size. I will eat the same amount as my OH. Or I quite often make tea and cook enought to take to work for lunch the next day. I will often eat that as well!! Terrible isn't it?!
Anyhoo I am currently doing a course to become a personal trainer and I am the biggest girl on the course by far. I love exercise, but at the moment I have 3 jobs (1 full time 9-5 and 2 pub jobs working 4-5 shifts a week) along with studying for the course I currently have no time for the gym or exercise. I have one more theory exam to go and then after that the time I would have spent studying I will be able to start working out instead. Roll on 21st May!!
I'm hoping that Slim Fast will help me to lose the most unwanted weight and get me ready for my work out sessions. I'm fully aware that you can't just rely on diets for weight loss and that exercise must be incorporated too. But for now this is all I can do.
I ride my push bike everywhere so I'm not completely exercise free.
Well here we go...... let week one commence.
I'm struggling with the powders I must say. Trying to make them in work is proving difficult. I think I may have to make them at home and then bring them into work.
Well enought rambling for now, lets get started
