About three years ago I weighed 13 stone, and out of nowhere I found the motivation to go down to 9 and a half stone in a year. Since then, it's gone up and down, mostly up and now I'm back up to almost 12 stone.
So I've decided now is the time to find that motivation again and lose all this weight - for the last time. No more putting it back on!
Start Weight: 11st 12lb
Height: 5'2
Goal Weight: 9st 7lb
Does anyone want to join me? I think I'd do so much better if there were a group of us all waiting to hear how the others had done and give each other plenty of support.
I'm tired of being the "big friend" and just want to be comfortable in my own skin. I've got a holiday booked in June that I'd love to be confident enough for to get all my old bikinis back out, so my first little goal is to have lost a good half a stone by then!
Here is some imaginary 
to bribe you all to come and join me.

Hi Bellatrix
I'm also calorie counting - trying to stay under 1200 but I do find it such a struggle. I'm also trying to really step up with some exercise, I have a fitbit now to track my steps/calories burnt, and I find that useful. I've done Slimming World in the past and lost half a stone but I find it so hard to stick to a specific way of eating, I'd rather just eat what I normally do, but much, much less!
I think my biggest problem is portion size - I enjoy food, and I enjoy lots of it! I can never seem to tell myself I'm full. It also doesn't help that my favourite things are definitely the most unhealthy options 
Slimmer by summer - that's the goal!!
