ProPoints I think the penny has finally dropped!

[emmaholl]

Hi All,
I'm 38 and have been dieting since my early teens . My weight has crept up over the years until my crunch time in October this year when I had to go into hospital for an operation and at 21st 10lbs was terrified I wouldn't come round afterwards. :cry:

So I rejoined weight watchers and have so far lost 13lbs (in 6 weeks). I am finding this diet very easy and actually don't like to call it a diet, its just about clever choosing. Every time I go to weigh in I am surprised that I lose weight - but it keeps working.

My next step is to start exercising. My fear levels are very high but slowly I am accomplishing more and more. Small things like parking further away when shopping.

I have just bought myself the tracker book with a goal of losing 2 stone over the next 12 weeks.

Would love to hear from others who have a lot of weight to lose!

Hey Louise,
I've been there. The things that have kept me going this time are this website and all the good friends I have made and the motivation and also I have a chart on my fridge with the pounds listed in rows of tens so I have goals of 10lbs at a time. I put coloured stickers on the boxes each time I lose weight. It feels good and means that each week I re-evaluate my mini goals.
Happy to keep in touch and support each other?
Good luck with your restart!

Emms xx

Hey Louise!

You're doing fab! A stone off already - that's fantastic.

What is your motivation for losing the weight?
Have you had that light bulb moment - or do you have an event you're working towards?

I'm trying to get to 17 stone for an event in July, and also I was 17 stone when I got married 8 years ago - so that's my first big goal.

After that it'll be a stone at a time until I get down to 10 stone.

Emms xx
