At the beginning of a long journey of positive change :~)
2nd July 2011: In October 2010, I joined here at 194lb and lost the first 10lb then wandered away for a while ... I've been such a slacker! Luckily only put on a few pounds, now 191lb .. aarrgh! Starting *again* today! I've decided to start from scratch, loosely following Slimming World's plan as that's worked for me in the past. I'm also going to break it down into small goals.

====================================
***About me***
My weight has fluctuated since I was 17. By 18, when I was 9 months pregnant with my eldest son I weighed 182lb (13st) and then lost the weight through healthy eating, walking miles and miles and generally being very poor! :~)
From 19 - 25 I was happily settled at between 120lb - 130lb (8st 7lb - 9st 4lb). At 25 I met the love of my life :~)) I moved in with him and started slowly but surely putting on weight, partly due to stress, certainly by eating more and partly due to walking a lot less.
I'm definitely a very foody person and love big portions of home-cooked loveliness. After I gave up smoking 6 years ago, food became more of a treat to replace cigarettes and meals were sometimes followed by treats of cheese and crackers in the evening or a bottle of wine after a long day (ahem ... most days if I'm honest!) Uh-oh ... !
Recently I've been feeling *fat* ... not just a little overweight but pretty horribly *fat*! Also, I discovered a photo of myself holding my youngest son the day after he was born 5 years ago and the first thing I thought was how much thinner I looked (around 168lb or 12 st)!
I began dieting properly and dusted off the Wii Fit again a week or two ago and also, by coincidence I noticed a link on someone's blog to their SparkPeople page so I took a look and here I am :~)
I feel so inspired by this site and all the people on it! What a brilliant place :~)
