Hi
My name is Sal, Im 42 and weigh 17 stone 8 pounds (OMG I cant believe I just typed that) and I was on the slimming world plan but just couldnt get on with anymore. So I took a break and joined Weight Watchers last Tuesday.
I did WW about 10 years ago and wow has it changed. Its my first week and I have found it a little tricky, trying to work out the point values for meals etc, but Im getting the hang of it. I still feel a bit hungry so Im going to do a food diary on here as well so I can see if Im missing something and as a historical thing so I can see what went well and what didnt.
Im due to get married in July next year so I want to loose some of my weight, not all of it as I dont think Im destined to be a skinny minny but just enough so I feel comfortable and happy in my own skin. Also, I have arthritis in both ankles, and in my left hip, this came along after breaking one of my ankles in my teens and also my constant heavyness. Mind you I also suffer from mild psoratic arthritis so that doesnt help as it can strike any of my joints without much notice, so I take quite a lot of medication. I also have an under active thyroid which I was diagnosed with five years ago, so although my weight will come off I dont think its going to be as quick as I would like it, hence me starting now for next July.
As part of my plan I have been going to the gym since December and I can see my fitness levels getting higher all the time. So far I have lost 16 inches in total.
Weigh in day is Tuesday so fingers crossed that I loose something.
