I started putting on weight when I hit 18. Fifteen years and six stones later I intend to say bye bye to that extra weight by 2019. I don't want to be an unhealthy person for the rest of my life. I want to be able to look back and think of this as a 15-year blip in an otherwise healthy life.

I'm 5 weeks in to doing Slimming World for the third time. I've tried WW, SW, SlimFast, Cambridge and Slim'nSave. This is the longest I've stuck to any plan. I have a great Leader and a great group. I needed to lose 6 stone 3lb to get me to the top of my healthy BMI range. 10lb off so far. Here's to the next 5 and a bit stones!
