Hi there everyone.
I will me going to a slimming club meeting later today. Will be the first time I have ever joined a diet group. Always done it alone in the past and had success through doing 10,000 steps a day, pole dancing every now and then and power plate and just been more conscious about what I ate. It worked really well for me and I was a bridesmaid so I had a great incentive to lose the weight, even had a 2 week holiday in America and only put on 2lbs so was very proud of myself and I wasn't exactly strict with myself whilst I was away. Since about Jan 2012 to now, the weight has slowly crept up, I can still fit in my clothes but would say I have put on about 2 stone from when I was at my lowest, I certainly don't look as 'fat' as I did before the weight loss, which is probably why I didn't really notice it creeping back on. I wish I knew what was to blame as my eating didn't really change, but I had stopped using the power plate and the pole, but logically that cant be the only reason. So I am at a loss as to what it was.
Since Jan 1st I have been doing couch to 5k on a treadmill and pushing myself to try and get in extra runs when I can, so not really sticking to it's rules, but don't feel ready to move to week 2, so just pushing myself my own way. And will be doing my 10,000 steps 6x a week. Fingers crossed I can achieve this, I done it before but that was achieved easily as my walk to work and back took me to 7,000 steps. I don't have this job any more so to achieve 10,000 steps requires A LOT of motivation and effort. which is never fun.
So hoping slimming world will be an extra boost to the exercise. May need a little bit of help to get started. So hope you don't mind if I keep putting my hand up with a question
Looking forward to much needed support and advice and getting to know everyone.
Speak soon I hope.
