From the beginning

I will add my weekly weigh in results starting from August to present day then each week I will add the current (continuing) results. I may or may not be brave enough to enter my weight - so you may just see the amount lost and the total.

Again I hope this inspires

:( but it was expected and glad it was only half! I'd took the kids to McDonalds for lunch as a treat for their last day off before going back to school. Made me feel rubbish...I don't ever want food to make me feel like that again...not worth it!

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.
