What's this all about?
Me!
Me losing weight actually.
Towards the end of 2009 I decided that I'd had enough of being over weight and wanted to be happier with my body. I had got so sick and tired of wearing the same old clothes and the thought of having to go and buy new ones was not a nice thought, the shopping stress gets me so uptight and pissed off to say the least. I've seen times where I've taken 3 weeks, if not more, just to find a new pair of jeans; they aren't too common in a size 22/24!! When I do find something I like, fit in to and can afford I end up wearing the life out of it and then the cycle begins again.
So, time to do something about it. A friend of mine had recently lost 2 stone at 'Slimming World' so I thought I'd give it a try. I'd been to 'Weight Watchers' a few times and the thought of having to count 'points' for everything that passed my lips did NOT appeal.
I decided that I would commence in the new year, after all why should I spoil Christmas?
Monday 4th January was sign up day. I trudged up to the University through the horrendous snowy conditions and bit the bullet.
There was hardly anyone in the first meeting and I'm thinking "OMG! There's no one here!". I later found out that the regulars were hiding and trying to lose some of their Christmas weight gain before confronting the scales again.
All went smoothly, I got my books, bought some recipe books and got myself weighed! YIKES!! My first weigh in was 17st 2½lbs!! I was horrified.
The challenge was on, I was SO determined to beat this!
I will update my weight on here each week after weigh in and post as and when
