Hi everyone,
I'm a 5ft2 female, 13 stone and had a health scare yesterday which has been the last straw for me and I need to do something about my health, focusing more on this than the way I actually look.
I lost 3 stone in 2010 on WW and remained between 8.7-9.0 up until 2013 when I let my diet and fitness slip due to being made redundant and going through a low period. It's now December 2015 and I'm 13 stone and devastated. I suffer from tachycardia so my heart rate is constantly high, but I've been breathless recently and yesterday was admitted to hospital with chest and back pain and high heart rate/blood pressure. They suspected it was a blood clot on my lung but after various tests and scans, they ruled this out but they still aren't sure what's wrong so they've sent my bloods off, suspecting it's just pleurisy. I've been wanting to lose my weight purely based on my appearance but after this health scare, weight related or not, this has been my wake up call!
So, as WW have recently changed their plan and are receiving bad feedback, I've decided to give SW a go due to a number of friends finding success here. I'm joining my local group and I'm nervous, but to be honest stepping on the scales at the hospital yesterday was the first big hurdle!
Wish me luck! Ive been reading you success stories and I feel so motivated to make 2016 my year of change!
Merry Christmas xx
