new from ayshire, scotland
 

hi everyone:), just joined today and looking for some support and encouragement. my name is shona i'm 25 and i live in ayrshire, scotland wth my wonderful fiance ross. not weighed myself in a while too scared - i think maybe just about 224 now and for a wee person like myself that's a lot - i'm gonna face the music tonight and go to weight watchers. been on a bit of self destruct for the past 18 months as far as my weights concerned and now i'm at my heaviest ever:o i comfort eat a lot and have been quite stressed over past year which is probably a big factor in my weight gain! it's a vicious circle that i need to break - supposed to be getting married next year but i've put that off for a bit because of my weight - no way am i going to waddle down that ailse! if anyone knows of any herbal tablets i can take that work it would be great to hear from u, thanks for reading and i will let u know how i get on at ww tonight. shona xxx

Welcome!:hug: I noticed our weight and goals are pretty close, so maybe we can support each other. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.

Hey Shona! :welcome:
I'm a WW, too. ^^ So far so good! Best of luck with it!
I did want to say that I hope you aren't putting off living your life due to your weight. Congrats on the engagement! I'm getting married next October, and while I hope to be closer to my ultimate weight goal, I'll be wearing a gorgeous dress and feeling hot regardless :D

Keep posting & keep us updated!
