Well I used to be a member of this site a wee while ago however under a different user name, a bit of detective work and you would probably be able to work out who I was but I decided that I would have a fresh start and my previous user name was hampered with me giving in so I thought a new name would be good all round.
I am 22 years old, 6ft2 and currently weight 161kg which equates to approx 25st 4lb. Eek.
I haven't done slimming world for a while and I know a few things have changed. I also know that I need to stick to it this time. I can't afford to go to class and so know it will be a struggle but I will have to keep at it, my health can't afford not to.
About my health:
At the age of 17 I had two major events. Firstly I had to have an ovary and fallopian tube removed due to a large cyst which had ruptured. Several months later I fell pregnant however miscarried
Since then I have been suffering with weight induced infertility. I do not have periods and there is a chance I may never have children. I am so far over the weight boundaries for fertility treatment that the consultants won't even meet with me.
In 2007 I had pancreatitis. Twice. It's a horrible illness in which I nearly died, I turned yellow and they thought my liver would fail. In order to minimise the risk of me getting pancreatitis a third time the doctors removed my gall bladder. Which now means if I eat anything overly sugary such as bread then I suffer from 'dumping'.
I also have ankylosing spondylitis which is a kind of arthritis and affects a lot of my body including my back, arms and neck. It means I am in a lot of pain but I know that the extra weight on my joints will not be helping and will be speeding up the effects in some ways.
I'm not the most active person but have just gotten a wii and so hoping that will encourage me to be a little bit more active. I have Wii sports resort, just dance, ea sports active and wii fit plus (I have found that even though I am over the maximum threshold for the wii fit I can still use it if I put a piece of foam under neath it and there lies one of my targets)
I have come up with a couple of targets for myself. Mini ones to start with..
1:- Do an hour on the wii a day, whether it be on Just Dance or on the Wii fit or anything, I am sure that just increasing my activity levels will be a good start.
2:- Lose enough weight to get down to 24st 3. This was my original weight the very first time I joined Slimming World and therefore seems like an apt target.
3:- Lose enough weight to be able to use the wii fit without the foam. This means losing an extra half a stone on top of target 2.
Sorry for the long intense reading, if you got to the end of it then congrats. lol.
