| Hey Guys,
Well i'm Marlena. I'm 28, married, and live in Newmarket in Suffolk.
I've been on and off Slimming World a few times now. But I rejoined again on the 8th January 2008, hoping to make a success of the new start. I weighed in at 23st 5.5lbs!!! Was gutted and disgusted at me.
Well I've decided that I will try to stay to as many as classes as I possibly can, as I'm sure it's a huge benefit. During my first night the consultant told us about a 6wk Sponsored Slimathon, Slimming World are doing for the NSPCC. Well, I'd decided to go ahead and do it. I lost 18.5lbs in that time, but through some difficult times since that loss i'm now up again, and at 23st. My weigh-in days are Tuesday nights, but if I can't make them I go to a Thursday class.
Well, i've decided that competition is what I need, so a friend of mine also on SW has decided to help by competing with me, as to who will lose 2 stone before September. Am I gonna let her win? HELL NO!
Well that was my short story, and I now look forward to learning more about all you peeps, your experiences etc.
Maz xx |

MOOD :  ACHIEVEMENTS & GOALS : My goal is to get into all the lovely clothes I bought deliberately too small, thinking that would make me succeed. How wrong I was. I would like to get down to 11 stone and everything will fit. If I could get to between 10st 7lbs and 10st 10lbs, I would be a happy bunny indeed, but my target is 11.00st.

| Thanks for all those posts guys, I know with all the help and encouragement from you guys I WILL do this. And purely because I can't let someone else win .... hehehe I have even felt better for being able to post on here. It's a fantastic site, and even though I joined here in February by the encouragement of Lisa I didn't really get much of a chance to familiarise myself with the board. Now that I've managed to do that I LOVE IT! So be prepared to see this pain in the arse (aka me...) everyday on here, if I can help it!  |
