So before I get into this, I need to set the scene. I'm 22 and ever since I was 6 I have been spending my Christmas morning with my mum and christmas dinner with my dad-every now and then it would be the other way round. On the first Chriistmas with my fiance I was 20 and christmas literally lasts until the 5th Jan (at least this year). Every single night there is a starter with a main course, dessert and then cheese. I've been doing that for the last three years and you can imagine that there is a bit of weight gain.
I say a bit but I mean a lot! I shot up in weight and I am not happy with my size.
I decided to go with Slimming World because I know someone who has done it and lost a lot of weight.
I started Slimming world back in November and have since lost 11 lbs. Everyone said that I should have waited until the end of Christmas so that I could start from fresh. I decided to lose weight before Chrstmas so that I would have lost weight when I started. I have only put on 3 lbs over Christmas so I think I have done pretty well!
I have now joined Body Optimise which is the online version of Slimming World. According to the equation, if I lose an average of 2lbs per week, I will reach target by July. I get married in June 2010 but I go holiday to Florida in September. My goal is for the holiday and I hope to maintain until the wedding.
I intend on going to the gym at least 3 times a week. This will start on Monday and I will spend at least an hour at the gym each time. I'm going to go straight from work but the only problem is that I need to drive past home to get to the gym. I have a priority but I will do it anyway.
I have ordered a slow cooker from nectar and I would love to have some recipes from others who have one. I do both days so I am quite happpy wiith any recipie.
Your advice would be much apprecitated.
Thanks in advance for your help
