in Introduce Yourself
hi
i have been lurking and reading the success stories on here for couple weeks now, there have been some amazing weight losses .. many of of them with one thing in common - persistance.
it is therefore my goal to log on every day for a year to see where it takes me .. obviously sensible eating and excercise will come into it also, lol but i really do believe persistance in everything you do will get you to your end goal, one step at a time!
im going to try slimming world for the best part of the week, but calorie counting when days i havent got the *right* foods in and possibly also the weekend
my first goal is a fairly small one - im 16st3lbs atm, going to corwall in couple weeks with my family so would like to lose around 5lbs taking me down to 15st12lbs, my reward will be a cornish cream tea for my birthday whilst we are there!
my next main goal is to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 13st10lbs by the time my youngest starts nursery this september - so a weight loss of 3st3lbs in 6 months, its going to be tough but then it wouldnt be a goal if it was too easy would it !!
my avatar picture was taken at my wedding 7 yrs ago, i was around 12st then and thought i was overweight then .. how i wish i was that weight again! this will be my final goal for this year to lose 4st3lbs in total to get down to my wedding weight by christmas, wish me luck!

    I'm a repeat MFPer, but this time I have stuck with it, 30 days straight now and it has made a difference... My advice log every day even the bad ones, it makes a real difference. Good luck on your journey, add me if you want. At the moment I'm logging on every day qwuite a few times (it is very quiet at work)

    hi thanks everyone for the warm welcome :)
    will add you all when had time to work out how the site works, can anyone tell me how to add friends
    ok so day 1 have gone over my target already, a brisk 20 mins walk helped with damage limitation and i also kept under 2000 cals so not beating myself up, didnt have right shopping in and not officially starting until 1st april but deffinately helps to keep a log of what have eaten, have deffinately eaten less than i would have done normally so cant be a bad thing
    just wondered what you all do when you go over your calorie allowance? do you cut back the next day or just try and get back on track and do any of you add up you weekly calories and work it that way? so its averages out to what you should be having every day? not sure how well this would work, but like the idea specially for weekends x
