Introduction!

Thank you for following my blog...as you can see I have literally JUST started this blog up, to record my weight loss journey via Slimming World!
I will be starting my journey on Thursday August 25th, in the evening, when I shall have my first dreaded weigh in!
I will be updating this blog daily, as I will be recording everything that I eat!!!! ( I have a habit to lie about what I really eat, so will be using this blog as a way to keep track of my syns!!)
Every week I shall openly add my weight loss or weight gain, and add a new picture, so I can look over them and see how my body shape changes.
Every month I shall be updating my measurements, and will hopefully see the inches melting away!!!

I am also a huuuge comper, and have been lucky enough to win quite a few good prizes...my latest(and most biggest) being £10,000!!!!!!! I will be using some of the money to get married, so NEED to lose weight for that!!

Anyway...a bit about me and why I am dieting.
I have always been big....probably noticably since middle school. I used to get bullied...never anything violent, just name calling and the likes.
However, I was just too lazy to do exercise, so I tried to watch what I ate.
In high school I was a size 14, which was bigger then most of my friends, but meant I looked older, and as I am 5ft8, I could carry it off quite well. I stayed a size 14 until I went to college, and got a job at Macdonalds....drinking and free food meant I quickly went up a couple of sizes!!!
I stayed an 18 through my late teens and early 20s, and although big, Im luckily enough to have a prettyish face, so I still had loads of bfs, and never really got insulted etc.( I was a goth so used to get called names refering to what I wore more then my weight!!!)

I met my now bf as a size 18 and was depressed about my weight, but could deal with it.
I fell pregnant straight away, and ended up having Hyperememsis Gravidarum. In and out of hospital, My weight dropped as I could not keep anything down. But once I started on medication, I could eat, and I quickly made up for it. Chinese takeaways became a thrice weekly occurence, and I ended the pregnancy a size 24!!!!!
A couple of years later I fell pregnant again, and got back up to a size 24 after losing a bit of weight here and there. I had HG again, so followed the same pattern of overeating, and not exercising.
When my son was born, I felt like a frump seeing photos of us together. He looked tiny compared to my huge frame, so I vowed to join SW.
I Joined in october and lost 3 stone by feb.
Then I had to leave due to moving house, and my bf starting fulltime work. The weight has slowly crept back on, and until I weigh myself on thursday, I will not know how much I have put on!!

I have moved back to Rugby, and will be going to SW with my best friend Chrissy.
I feel I have about 8 stone to lose, as I would like to be around the 10stone mark, but as long as i fit comfortably in a size 12 dress, im not too fussed about my actual weight!
I am currently in size 20 top and bottom, though I can squuuuuuueze myself into some 18 tops, but then occasionally find I have to wear a size 22 botoms!

Please join me in my weight loss journey, and me can help each other out!!! I promise my other posts wont be as long, but they will be open, frank, and will be as personal as possible.
Also...when i reach 100 followers, I will do my first giveaway!!!!!!!!
