Hiya everybody, I'm new to using forums but thought it would be great to be in touch with people who can share their journeys in the hope it spurs me on to keep on track my name is Katie, I'm 27 and have 3 beautiful little boys, aged 3,2 and 7 months. So as every year iv set my New Years resolution to lose some weight, something feels different this time tho like I actually have the willpower to do so! I weighed myself a week ago and I weighed 192lbs, so since have been making an effort to eat healthy small and regular meals and walk wherever possible, iv covered about 8 miles probably in a week! According to my scales iv lost 6lbs this week, Iv heard it's usually water to begin with but even so that's one bit out of the way and I have to say it's made me feel a little proud of myself as usually I would crack by this stage. Iv always been a 'big girl' before I had my first son I weighed about 11 and a half stone
and for the moment iv set myself a goal of getting back to that. I feel inspired by people's success story's and seeing before and after photos, and if you are these success story's congratulations so yeah that's me really, I'd love to hear any tips or exercise ideas I could possibly do at home? I'm a busy mum, I don't get free time to join a gym or go swimming etc. thanks if you read this, and I hope to hear from some of u and maybe make some weight loss allies!! Xx

Hi, I'm a newbie too! 6lbs in one week sounds great. I'm Julie and I started slimming world on Sunday so I haven't weighed myself since but I'm hoping to have lost something next time I weigh in. I weighed 10st 10 on Sunday and I'm aiming to lose at least a stone. I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm a student so I totally understand about not having time to get out to a gym etc! I downloaded an app called "30 days" and basically you pick exercises and add them to your own workouts. On the first day you just do as many as you feel comfortable doing, then each day it'll give you a target of a few more. I can really feel the pain lol! I do it every night when my daughter goes to bed. It's not loads but it's definitely a start and it's good to see the progress from day one xx
