hi folks,
about 10 years ago i followed the SW green plan and managed to lose 10 st (hubby also - go us!!). But then through various reasons we fell off the wagon and 9 of the 10 st found their way back! Luckily they didn't bring new friends.
So, finally last month hubby and I decided it was time we stopped with the excuses and climbed back on that green wagon.
So we started a month ago and have each lost 1 stone so far.
We are "going it alone" so to speak as I found going to th emeetings, for me, was too much pressure to perform. I was nearly always slimmer of the week/month and whenever we had a mtg it was "Well XXX will definitely have lost weight". I do not function well being stuck up as a symbol.
We have a holiday to Rome booked in October. That is 3 months and we would like to have hit the 4st mark by then. I also have high BP and problems with my knees and feet so I have every reason to do this.
I am lucky that my physio (looking after my feet) is very encouraging and gives support while he is massaging my tendons. Sounds bizarre but he hmanaged to get to the heart of my problems with food and weight within a 30 min treatment. Almost reduced me to tears this week when he went digging into the reason we fell off the wagon last time!
So this is me, Start of August 2014. I am 6ft 2" tall and weigh in at a shocking 310lbs. it was 322 when i started off but as I said, I am 12 lbs down the road so far!!
I am aiming to try and maintain a diary charting the highs and lows of this long journey.
Wish me luck folks :wave_cry:!
