After 21 months of hard work I finally reached my WW goal in January 2007. I’d lost 56.5kg, my insulin resistance is gone and I’m no longer taking medication. My blood pressure and cholesterol are extremely healthy now and we hope to be able to start a family soon as my doctor says there is nothing standing in our way now! I owe all of this to everything I’ve learned and done on this journey with WW as none of it would have been possible before losing weight.
So as of the 1st of March 2007 I’m a WW Life Time Member and have lost 58.2kg. I’m the fittest, healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been. I’ve gone from wearing a size 24-26 to a 10-12 and have rekindled my passion for clothes shopping! What used to be an effort to make the right choices in food now comes naturally and I automatically seek out the best option. My previous habits included way too much takeaway food and too large portions, I used to hate exercise and now love it. When I miss a day of exercise I actually do miss it (which is quite a surprise to me!). I’ve started running for the first time in my life and do regular cycling on both the exercise bike and pushbike. I still hope to lose 2-3kg more but whatever happens I’m now in my healthy weight range and will never go back to my old habits and “big girl” days again.
On the big weigh in day I went to a WW meeting in the City during lunch time and while I was out the girls at work decorated my desk with streamers, ballons and lovely flowers to congratulate me.
