So did an introduction post: hello!!! repeat offender! hopefully 5 year plan
A bit of a repeat from intro but:
So I’m a big single dad (recently having my son with me full time) from the southwest finally looking to shift the weight I’ve accumulated over 30 years.
I’ve Done slimming world multiple times at multiple groups and fairly good at losing lost around 20st over last 10 years (in chunks at times but gaining straight after) in total but always end up gaining more no matter how much I lose I’m also rubbish at keeping going till I hit target.
Used to travel a lot for work, staying away for multiple days it’s always been tricky but now gotta get act together.
Targets:
- aim to lose 5 stone in first 6 months
- aim to lose total 10 stone in 18 months
- aim to lose total 15 stone in 36 months
- aim to lose total 17 stone in 60 months
So hopefully I just need to look at the long term and keep going.

Going to be doing slimming world and weigh in is a Thursday, I am going back to my first group in my home town where I lost over 7st originally, the consultant is great and has lost so much herself and kept it off...it’s amazing and very inspirational.
Also lucky that my older sister is also a consultant of multiple other groups and has done great over the last 10 years (even after multiple children).
My older brother is also an exercise freak and loves triathlons, I used to play a lot of rugby when younger, playing at a reasonable level before stopping however always found none competitive exercise quite a chore, I’m hoping to work with my brother eventually at understanding the long term benefits and improvements with exercise.
My little boy is a huge motivation and will keep me focused (I may go into greater details later, but it hasn’t been an easy time over last few years).
My aim is to just keep going and focus on really changing mindset.

, was really at a loss as what had happened felt like things had gone well but scales were not in my favour, I tried to think things through and first couple of days I had quite a few snacks and didn’t really track syns but still no idea how I gained so much.
