two weeks to go

well have finally got around to actually putting something up here. my weight loss journey started on 10Th January this year when i had finally realised that enough was enough and i couldn't go on like this anymore. to say that I'm overweight is understatement. i was over 24stone and was beginning to get weight related health problems. i was diagnosed with arthritis in my knee in fact the doc told me i had the knee of a 70 yr old( I'm only 37), i was having problems breathing IE the minimal exertion and i was a huffing and a puffing and i was fed up with only being able to shop in Evans!!
so me and my hubby decided along with my brother and sister in law to join up.
it wasn't as bad as i thought going into that room. i mean there was people bigger than me and it wasn't patronising. the leader was very nice and explained everything. so that is where the journey began.............
we are now 4 and a bit months on and i have lost 3 stone 6lb and hubby has lost 2 stone 6lb. the other have also done well and have lost 3 stone 6lb and 1stone 7lb. so between us we have lost over 10 stone!!!!!!!!
it has been fairly easy and i haven't strayed. i haven't missed anything really although i did miss chocolate in the beginning but now it is way of life. i think it has really helped having a supportive husband and family who understand. we are renewing our wedding vows in less than two weeks and then having a second honeymoon! not that we were unhappy or anything but hubby had a kidney transplant 18 months ago and has been given a second chance at life so we are celebrating this.
Will update this blog as and when we have weigh In's
