237 pounds - the only way is down.....

BeeEllie

.....hopefully, anyway!

I'm Ellie and I feel a bit of a whale right now. Whilst I've never been tiny, two children in two years have only increased me all over!

I was shocked really to see some pictures of myself over Christmas, as that's not how I see myself, so I have decided the time is NOW!!

Also, my partner proposed on Christmas Day and I want to glide down the aisle, not waddle

Think I will struggle to keep going as I love cheese, toast, pizza, KFC, pasta, curry, chocolate, lattes, burgers, chips......heck, I just love eat ing

Wish me luck - I may need it

You can do it! I started at a very similar weight as you. It's pretty intimidating, sometimes.. but, still, it's worth it!!

GOOD LUCK!! You can do this

I'm pretty much the same as you, two kids in two years (we must be mad!) And now i hardly recognise my body!
I was basically the same starting weight as you too, give or take a lb!
I'm currently 12lb down, after restarting a couple of times!!

I'm also shifting this bulge for my wedding, next year!!

Good luck hun, you can do it Feel free to add me for encouragement

I also love the kinda foods you do but honestly, u can still have those but obvipusly in smaller quantaties. I don;t cut anything out of my diet, i just keep it within the cal range. Also i have a treat day every Saturday where i don't count cals, i find it keeps me going with the diet because i know i have that day to look forward to. My theory is that if u cut everything out then ur more likely gunna fail cause ur depriving urself. Just be sensible and eat in moderation. Best of luck x
