5 stone to lose before 30!!!

Hi everyone
Is it too late to say happy new year?!

I’m Lydia, I’m 28 and overweight.
Ive tried every diet going! I find I’m ok for a while but get bored at the point I feel like the ‘diet’ is completely taking over my life. The longest I’ve stuck to a plan is 3 months, which was at slimming world. I gave up with that in December 2017 after losing only 10lbs in 3 months. I personally think the unlimited amount of potatoes, rice and pasta just doesn’t work for me!

I lost a lot of weight in 2014, I was at my heaviest of 17 stone. I got in a new relationship, and because I was so happy and had a lifestyle change I found my eating habits got better and I was more active. I lost nearly 4 stone!

Of course as time has gone on Ive got comfortable, the take aways have become more often and the exercise is almost non existent. In 2016 I had a gall bladder operation, and I broke my leg and ankle which meant 3 months of no walking or exercise.

I’m back at my heaviest now and I know I need a huge wake up call.

I don’t want to be on a faddy diet or a ridiculous exercise routine. I just want to start eating healthily again, get my portions under control and start exercising even if it’s only for 15 minutes a day.

I have set myself small goals, but my ultimate goal is to lose 5 stone before I’m 30. So that gives me 21 months to change my lifestyle and maintain it. I think this is realistic?

I want to go into the next decade at a healthy weight and a more active lifestyle.

My biggest motivation is that I do eventually want a child, and being at the weight I’m at, I just don’t think my body could cope.

Sorry for the lengthy post!

I would like to speak to anyone who has been or is in a similar situation. I will post regular updates!

Here’s to a healthier more positive 2018.

Happy Sunday x
