No going back now - Official Diary Time

Another Tracy

Full Member
Hello Ladies ( and Gents?)

I briefly introduced myself last week but I'm fed up and not tired so I thought I would do an 'official' diary.

My name is Tracy and I'm 52 and married to David (who can eat anything and has only put on 1.5 stone in the last 26 years :eek:) and we have one grown up son.

I've been dieting on and off for the last 20 years but have never been as huge as I am now, I've piled on the weight since I stopped working to take care of my mother who has dementia.

I stopped with the ciggies 4 months ago (now on an e-cig instead) and if I can get that monkey off my back then I'm damn sure I can kick the other massively fat monkey to the kerb too.

I want to lose 8 or 9 stone and comfortably fit into a size 10-12.

Although I'm feeling a bit fed up tonight overall I'm feeling quite positive and determined about the whole weight loss thing.

I'm following SW at home and I have decided to weigh in once a month, the next weigh in being on the 29th.

So that's me, a vertically challenged horizontally ample middle ager who is desperate to reclaim her body.

Sorry to waffle on...............and thanks for reading

ROFL Tracy what a fab description for me too :D And well done for starting your own diary - it really is great for pouring out how you're feeling, re weight loss or anything else going on.

You can do it hun, and I'm sure the OH will be a fab support too, even if he never puts on weight (dam him lol).

Hi again Tracy! I know we've spoken before, but thought I'd subscribe to this new thread. Not only do we have the same name, but we're exactly the same age, and both have skinny husbands, lol. :) xx
 
Lol, you could be right, but oddly I was the only Tracy in the whole of my school - maybe it depended on what area you lived in?! :D xx
 
I have a skinny hubby too who can eat anything :)

Good luck with your journey hun xx

Hi :)

I'm doing great, stuck to plan so far and have started exercising with Lesley Sansone's You Tube vids AND we have bought a treadmill and I'm walking on that. big weigh in on Monday and I'm hoping for at least 7lbs off (only weighing in once a month)

I hope everyone is having a great week

I also wanted to add I feel so much better in myself, more energy etc. it's more to do with eating better and (cliché warning) a positive mental attitude than weight loss BUT I'm counting it as a positive

I thought this weigh in day was never coming, it seems a looooooooong time since I last WI, anyhoo the deed is done, I weighed in this morning and I have lost 11 lbs and I'm chuffed to bits :wee:

edited I was so happy I miscounted and in fact it's TWELVE POUNDS...(insert crazy happy dance)
