Hi *waves*
I think I have approximately 4000 diaries on here now. I joined nearly 3 years ago, lost 5 stone (70lbs!!) in about 8 months, maintained for roughly 18 months...then got pregnant and fully took advantage of eating for 2. I also have a little girl who turns 5 next week and I turn 30 at the end of the month. Eek!
My baby is 5 weeks old tomorrow and I'm no longer breastfeeding (hungriest boy ever!!) so have taken the plunge and come back to Slim and Save. I always said I would if I needed to. Last time I calorie counted, SnS'd, 5:2'd...anything it took basically. I think last time I managed 6 weeks and lost about 20lbs.
I've got about 30lbs to lose so I can get back into all my lovely clothes.
I have enough packs to get me through this week and have just placed an order for a months worth. I need the boost. So that's 5 weeks worth. Anything over a stone in that time would be amazing. Then I'll reassess and see what I need to do to get the rest off.
Today I feel positive and I know I need to do this, I hate the way I feel about myself right now. I'd got used to being slim and happy and feeling great and I want that back. I know it's quite soon after having a baby but I'm scared to leave it any longer in case the numbers start going back up again. Tiredness may be my enemy, I always want carbs when I'm tired but I just need to get through these first few days...oh today is day 2
I'm planning on 3 packs and a low carb meal. Luckily my OH is a bit of a gym bunny so is happy to have high protein/low carb meals in the evening. I used to run 3 times a week, I do want to get back to that but need to find the time and energy.
A buddy or 2 would be great but will try to keep posting regardless. Will add a few pics in a mo.
