Hi all!
Hope you all had a brilliant christmas.
I haven't done SW for about a year and since stopping i have inevitably gained weight! I got into baking in a big way and of course i couldn't not eat what i made!
I have decided that i am going to get back on the SW track from 1st January (no point starting now as have a few family get togethers that involve repeats of the christmas dinners - without the turkey - and the mother in law always goes mad with the tins of sweets so i have to get through those first! :17729.
I always look forward to starting SW again because i know it works, the problem is that i soon lose focus because by the time i get home from work i can't be bothered cooking something different to the rest of the family so end up having Pasta n Sauce which soon gets very boring!
Thanks to my dad i now have a halogen oven which is A-MAZE-ING! I have just made roasted parsnip and carrot soup in it which is nom nom! It is a digital one which means that i can set it to delay start and can also use it as a slow cooker. This should help me with the cooking (and it also makes brilliant SW chips in no time!) so i am hoping i will be able to stick to it this time.
I think though, as i am doing SW from home, that i will need some support from other SWers. I think it is important to have people who are in the same position so you can rant to each other about any failings, winge about any gains and brag about any losses.
If anyone wants to help me (or should that be help each other?!?) my starting stats are:
Height - 5' 5"
Weight - approx 12 stone (won't get the exact weight until i weigh in on the Wii Fit on 1st January)
I also cannot do much in the way of excercise due to an ongoing knee problem on which i will be having my 6th surgery at the end of January.
Let me know if you can help me and i will do my best to help you in return (i have done SW a few times now so am pretty clued up on the 'rules' and have a fair few books too).
Look forward to hearing from you!
