Hi, I am Izzy, scottish Mum of 2 hooligans and hopefully ready to find my slimmer self <again >
So as with many of us, I have gained and lost so much over the years, its getting ridiculous, I am 37 years old, and my baby is now 7 months it's time to do something!
A few years ago, when trying to get pregnant I managed to lose 2 stone, I was 14 st 4 at my highest, and got down to 12 st 4, finally got pregnant (woohoo) Once my son was born and I weighed myself a few weeks after I was 13 st 7, and have managed to get down to 13st 1.5 - in 6 months lol so progress has been far too slow. I am pleased though that I have never reached my previous all time high weight even with my pregnancy.
I started slimming world on the spur of the moment just over a week ago and haven't lost anything, but I wasn't remotely organised, and started using the diary a few days in and was still having too many sins, I am organised now though and have the full week to be properly committed and hopefully have something to report next week.
I have a friend and 2 cousins who have done well so I am inspired by them.
I also have polycystic ovaries and insulin resistance which I am on medication for, which makes me feel ill frequently so I really hope I can lose this weight and ditch my meds.
Going to sort out a ticker, and will start it with my highest weight from a couple years ago because I feel that although this is a new start dietwise, I don't want to forget that I have already achieved some, and keeping it off is in itself an achievement too.
That's about it for now, I will try to check in frequently with updates, looking forward to reading some of your stories.
