journey to lose
New Member
Hi fellow minimins.
I am from Lancashire, England and have just found this amazing website! I am 26 years old and have always been on the larger side. I was 16 stone and a size 18 at high school and this has gradually crept up until I found myself at the age of 26 in a size 24 clothes and weighing 19s 3lb! I woke up one morning and decided enough was enough.
I threw out all fizzy pop, crisps, chocolate and processed foods and replaced it with fruit, veg, chicken, water and green tea. I joined the gym, started playing badminton, swimming and walking to and from work. I had tried other diets before and couldn't stick to them. This time I am doing it for myself and not because other people tell me to do it. In 6 weeks I have lost 21lb, I have loads more energy and feel great. The weight isn't coming off as quickly now and I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed.
A website like this is just what I need for my low days and also to share my stories. My close friends have never really battled with their weight so although they are happy for me, they don't seem to fully understand the massive achievement.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to sharing my stories and reading yours.
