Hi,
Another newbie (ish) hoping that putting thoughts and struggles and achievements down in a diary will help me on the road to success.
I am following weight watchers, I joined in 2009 lost about 3 stone and then stopped when life got in the way a bit. I put around a stone of the weight back on but managed to keep the rest off. I decided that 2012 is going to be my year, bit the bullet and rejoined.
I lost 7lb in January - I'm not sure this will be repeated in other months as I tend to be more a pound a week loser - but as long as its in the right direction I dont really care how quickly I lose.
I am happy with life, I have a lovely husband, a lovely teenage son and a really good job - if I was just a bit fitter and happier with my appearance then life would be pretty much perfect.
I am mainly losing to keep healthy, I want to live a long life so carrying excess weight will not help with this goal!
I love eating really good tasty food and so crash diets or meal replacements would not work for me.
I hope you will all join me on my journey and help to keep me motivated. I was reading a book by Jillian Michaels from US biggest loser and she said you need a support network and also people to inspire you - I think I have found that here!
Thanks for reading x
