Hello to all you lovely Minimins!
Today, I am at the highest weight of my life and the lowest point in my life. I never thought I would ever weigh this much. What led me to where I am today?
I started gaining weight after being diagnosed with a medical condition (I won't go into that). It's not a condition that causes weight gain, but it has affected my mind-set, outlook on life and general ability to be happy for the past three years. Today I am fed up, I stepped on the scales after being in denial for several months. the number I saw is not pleasant, but it is the harsh reality of what overeating and not exercising has done to my body. My avatar is me at 290lbs, I want to be under 182lbs and I will be.
I, like many of you I am sure, have been all different weights, been on different diets, some successful, some not so much... I am going to go back to intermittent fasting as this is what I used to lose a good amount of weight a few years back before I spiralled. I won't be necessarily doing JUDDD, but I am going to be very low calorie every other day and following slimming world plan on my higher calorie days. So it's a bit of a mash up, but I felt this forum was the most appropriate to post in.
So before I waffle on too much here are my starting stats (Will put my measurements on when I can find the bloody tape measure!!)
Height: 5'6
Current Weight: 290lbs
Lowest Weight: 192lbs
Goal Weight: 182lbs
Chest:
Waist:
Hips:
Before I sign off... good luck to you all, whether you are trying to lose weight and its 100lbs+ or under 10lbs... if you're maintaining or even trying to gain a bit, good luck.
