I was 13st 13lb when I came home with dd2
I lost a stone and a half by snacking less and swapping to diet/ low fat/ low cal options and walking as much as I could fit in then I got 2 jobs (one childminding 50 hours per week and 15hrs per week as a carer for the elderly and disabled) which helped me lose a bit too that took me about a year then I lost interest in losing weight until I gained 7lb over last christmas.
Jan 2008 - I weighed 12st and decided to really kick ass and get the weight off!
I joined WW, followed the core plan went swimming, areobics, aqua fit, walking whenever i got the chance (upped exercise from once a week to 3 times per week over time)
Dp has really helped me by taking care of our dd's when he comes in from work so I can go swimming or whatever for an hour a night.
I have had a lot of support from this thread full of lovely ladies!!
Last week i weighed in at 9 stone 12 lbs and a half.
I'm proud of myself and the support given to me from everyone around me. I am happier, healthier, fitter and thinner!
I've got another 7lbs to lose (i think, we'll see how it goes)
