in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am 39 going 40 in June and really wish to be able to shed as much as possible weight to feel better. I have put on 40kg in the past eight years and I know it takes time to take them off but would love to start losing them. I am married with a nine year old son who is an adorable boy and also has autism. I eat and binge out of stress but now it's time to start to think about myself and take care of my own health.
Would appreciate any friends that can help me with tips and encouragement as I forgot the countless diets I tried and the monies I've spent. Now I decided it has to come from within the will to succeed and no money can buy it. Looking forward to meet new poeple with same goals on MFP.

    Hi sweetie,

    I know how hard it is to lose weight, I'm a single mum of 4 and back in April I decided to join Slimming World, I've had good weeks and bad weeks and I've learnt that I shouldn't beat myself up if I have a gain or I have a cheat day, I just means that I have to be more focused the following week, I have a goal in mind and when I started I was 16stone (101.605kg) I am now 13stone (82.5538kg) and I've still got 3stone (19.05kg) to go for my target. I have started going to the gym regularly and I also attend a bootcamp 3 times a week. I own a horse and a pony which I have to muck out daily and I ride on the occasions that it's not raining/snowing (not much just lately :( )

    I am more than happy to help you along your journey as every week I upload my meal plan for the week and even though I still attend Slimming World I still eat things that are high in syns on their plan, I just log everything on MFP as since I've been doing MFP I've not had a gain.

    Also another huge thing is drink loads and loads of water, it really does help.

    You are more than welcome to add me xxxx
