Starting weight 18 stone :( mortified!

[nickie_24]

Hi all,
Im Nickie, ive been overweight all of my adult life, im so unhappy with it but really struggle. Ive done numerous diets including Weight Watchers, Slimming World, Slimstyle, Lighter Life, Herbal Life, Lipotrim and ive even purchased diet pills off the internet. Ive been gaining weight quite rapidly over the last couple of months so in thursday i decided to go back to Slimming World. I was mortified to get on the scales to realise id gone back up to 18 stone exactly. Im 5 foot 10 inches tall so i have quite a bit to loose (at least 6 stone) This also scares me to death as its so much and i really dont want to fail this time. Its early days but im hoping and praying i dont fall off the wagon again this time and i can achieve a healthy weight and lifestyle too. Im so interested to hear all of your stories for motivation and inspiration.

Hiya Nickie Don't worry, six stone is absolutely doable! Try breaking it down to a stone at a time, that way you've got more manageable goals and you'll feel so accomplished each time you've lost one. Look on the bright side, you're tall so your healthy weight is higher than a lot of us! I started off in April at 20st 7lbs, lost a stone and a half in three weeks on Lipotrim and then took the summer off. I put on half a stone, but started again last week and have since lost it. I'm going to try and keep this up til Christmas because I want to lose weight fast for my graduation and then I might try Slimming World to lose the rest slower.

I hope it works well for you and I'm sure you'll get loads of encouragement from everyone on the boards here, there's plenty of people in the same boat as you or with more to lose so don't worry, you can definitely do it!

When I started I had over 10 stone to lose and now I have lost over 6 stone basically what you need to lose. So it is definatly doable. The advice I give to all people starting is set yourself mini goals and concentrate on them rather than the overall one. I think it is far less daunting that way and you can feel good when you achieve those smaller goals. The fact you have started on this road is a good thing and trust me there is lots of people on here with lots to lose you are not alone. And there are others whom I love to read who have lost all the weight they needed too and started out around the same as us lot

Hi chick!

I'm doing SW (have been for 13 weeks) and I've lost 2st. 3.5lbs. I've got a grand total of 8 and a half stone to lose so about another 6. For me I like getting into the next stone down rather than actually losing a stone. So when I first got into 16st bracket I was chuffed and last week I made it into the 14st club and I can't even remember the last time I was this weight!
Slow and steady is definitely the way to go, you can do it! X
