Old Newbie From Yorkshire xxx Hi all xx

Hi there all, :sign0144:

My name is Michelle, and I'm 37. i live in s Yorkshire, and attend a Monday morning SW group. I have 1 boy from my 1st marriage and a son and SD, from my second marriage.
we have our own metal fabrication business, and I am studying for a qualification in Interior Design. A long term, depression and anxiety sufferer my health has been plagued with problems for around 8 years, IBS, high blood pressure, back problems, all of which are benefiting for my SW plan and slow but sure exercise plan. I suffered from agoraphobia for many years, but thanks to medication and help from good friends I am now beginning to heal, and able to cope with the busy life I'm enforcing on myself.
I am 3 stone heavier than when we married 4 years ago, and my goal is to get back to the same weight 9st 7lb, for our 4th wedding Anniversary and my 38th birthday end of May beginning of June.
I love the internet, and am a Facebook and Forum junkie, so you will probably get sick of seeing me on here .
Look forward to meeting you all xx
Chelle xx :bighug:

Welcome Chelle!

It's so good to hear that your conditions are being helped by SW, I have high BP and so I'm hoping that SW will sort that out.

I too am addicted to the internet and have put on three stone since I got married (2.5 years ago), it's funny to think the time that I thought I was really overweight and should have lost more for the wedding - I'd love to be back to that weight now!

Look forward to seeing you around the boards

 

[MidLifeCrisis]

LOL Gem xxx I was the same!! Thought I'd got a podge!!!!! Yeah right, Id kill for that podge back now lol!!

Try, Try,Try Again

Hi all,

I have just rejoined SW and am happy to say I lost 6 and a half pounds the first week.
I have been a member a few times before but I never really 'got it'.
This time I actually feel that I will be successful and I am more in the zone than ever before.
This site will be an invaluable aid.
Thank you for being here

Hi all,

I joined SW yesterday for the first time, I have never done the diet thing properly before, but have just been gradually putting on weight for 2 years and recently just ate what i liked and put lots on so have decided I need a kick up the bum!!

I am determined to do it, so hoping that will help!

Good luck to everyone else starting/continuing this year!

Sarah

Hi

I'm just starting out. On day 2. Started at 16st 3.5:cry:. I know from previous weight loss that I start to feel better about 13.5st so I'll set a target when I get there.

Hi all i joined last week - first weigh in tonight.

I have had various health problems which come at the wrong time - slipped disc in back = put weight on, had it removed and lost the weight, then got ill and was put on high dose steroids, put loads of weight on, lost some of this only to become ill again and pu back on the steroids.

To make things worse, my bf is classed as underweight - he phsically cant put weight on, so i feel massive compared to him!!!1 lol!

anyway, all this happened within three years - from 21-24.

So i joined last week with my mum and sis! i really wanna loose weight by june - am going to a wedding and my ex bf will be there! plus i got a hen weekend in April with all the hens being size 10/12 and im a 16. wanna be a 12! if possible that is!!!

Any way im loving it so far - just love some extra support!!

Much Love Char xx
