Hi All!
As a complete newbie, I'm Nat, I'm 24 and I have completely lost track of how big I've become.
I've always been a big girl, it's never particularly affected me, it's never stopped me doing anything and I've always been confident.
However... over the past couple of years it's got completely out of control. Myself and the Other Half love food. We love eating out, we love trying new foods and we love eating. We arrange our weekends around what we're doing or trying for tea, and we love it, however as a size 22 I have realised this isn't the right attitude. I need to learn that yes, I can still eat good food, but I need to eat a normal persons portion, and cook it sensibly.
The slimest I've been was 14 stone 4 years ago after a relationship ended. I lost weight extremely quickly and very unhealthily to get to this. I'm sure you'll be unsuprised to hear I put the weight back on as quickly as I lost it! 2 years ago I lost one stone on weight watchers however hit a plataeu and gave up. My heart obviously wasn't in it.
I've now got to a point where I need to change. I need to change my mind set, my habits and my weight.
I started today on the Weight watchers pro point plan. The problem I had last time was that I struggled to keep on top of the points, so have decided to start a diary on this forum to keep on top of things, gain any tips and know where I'm going wrong!
So... if i'm going wrong, please let me know! I'm not precious about things and can take some harsh advice!
I shall be joining weight watchers properly next week (payday!
) so i'm a bit stuck on how many points I'm allowed. 5'10, 19 stone 11lbs . I know i'll be able to have more than the 26 points however not sure how many. Is anyone able to help with this?
So far today:
Breakfast:
1 slice toast with spread and marmite - 3pp
Lunch
Tuna salad with salad cream- 6pp
Snacks
Milk-1pp
Sugar-1pp
Rice cakes- 3pp
plum-0pp
