Welcome

Welcome to my weight loss journal!

I'm a bit delayed, I decided to start this on 31st December 2011 to chronicle my weight loss journey but I've already been at it 4 months!

I will put past weights, dates and measurements in and also try to explain what I felt.

I needed to start this now as I have started one before for weight loss...but as I gave up losing weight I gave up the blog. I have proved to myself that this time I can do it so I want to keep a sort of diary to share but also for myself.

I attend Slimming World classes - Monday nights at Mapperley Plains Social Club in Nottingham (England). My consultant is the wonderful and amazing Debbie Wilson, who I adore. She has been amazing to me, she knows how many times I have attempted weight loss and gave up before, I knew I could go back to her class without hesitation, no questions, no judgement. I have to say (at the fear of sounding very cheesy) there is a real sense of family in the Mapperley group.

I joined with my ever supportive (and always competitive) sister who is also doing very well.

At the time of joining I was recently single, mum of 3 children, working full time and I was exhausted! As much as I loved my life I didn't love me, I felt fat, frumpy and very isolated. Was my life really just work, kids, eat (chocolate) and sleep? The endless cycle? I wasn't going to let that happen.

Please follow me, I hope I can inspire some people. If you want any advice I can try my best to give it to you.

Please don't be rude to me, I am not forcing you to read this or follow me.
