I'm soon to be 30 (gulp). I have a husband who i met at Uni and have been with for 8 years (married for almost 3), and a gorgeous 16 month son. I work full time in the food industry so rarely ever stop looking at / talking about / tasting food.
I've done Weight Watchers before and lost well but never got anywhere near to goal. Since having my son the weight has piled back on.
I restarted Weight Watchers meetings in Octoberish time. Since then I've had periods of doing very well and periods of life getting on top of me and not doing so well. To date I've lost 12lbs although I missed this weeks Meeting (my son was ill) so I think I may have already got over my first stone, only next weeks Meeting will tell.
I have grown up as a girl with a father weighing in excess of 40 stone, barely able to move around, let alone lead a normal life I am keen that despite genetics I do not end up with a similar fate. My father now thankfully has found the courage to lose much of this weight (although still far more than he should be) and has found the love of his life.
I started my weight loss journey at 16 stone 2lbs. At my last meeting I weighed in at 15 stone 4lbs. I hope that in the next week I can at least get below 15 stone 2lbs, having lost my first stone. Ideally I would like to be closer to the 15 stone mark. They say that my ideal weight for height is below 9 stone 12lbs, meaning I have an awful lot to lose. I have set myself the target of getting to 14 stone. I know that at this weight I should be getting much closer to fitting into clothes from normal High Street shops and also to being fitter to enable me to play more with my very active son.
