Default Hi I'm new and desperate.

Hi everyone well I don't really know what to say here so if i go on I'm sorry.

My name is Dani and I am 20 years old. I live in Leeds with my grandparents who do all the food shopping so thats probably one of my problems as I use that as an excuse. I am 6ft2 tall and weight about 25stone at the moment and a size 24. I would like to lose weight for me and for my health as I have had numerous problems, such as pancreatitis, sleep apnoea, depression and I also believe my weight has been responsible for me having a miscarriage.

I am hoping to get to a size 14/16 and approximately 14 stone. A big task but I hope I can do it. I'm hoping to be slimmer in time for my 21st which is at end of August as I want to look nice on my photos for once.

I have tried weightwatchers, Atkins, Xenacol and Slimming World, the only thing that seemed to work was slimming world where I lost 2 stone, so I'm thinking I might rejoin it on Thursday which is when the next local meeting is.

Erm I think thats it about me.


Dani x

Hi Dani,

Good luck with the weight-loss, you can do it.

Have you discovered the UK fat chicks section, and there are threads on slimming world too, so explore and find the best support for you.
