My SW weightloss journey. Losing the pounds & now expecting #2!

[Jess812]

Hello, :wave: welcome to my little thread for my weightloss... I started slimming world 7 weeks ago, in the need to lose alot of weight!! (BMI calc says i need to lose 137lb to be in the borderline of healthy BMI weight)

I want to lose this weight because:
:- I dont want to be fat anymore!! (i have since i was in junior school!)
:- I want to be healthier & happier!
:- I want to be able to run around an play with my son & future children.
:- I want to be able to shop in 'normal' clothes stores. Not the 'fat' shops.
:- I NEED to loose the weight to help with my knee surgeries(damaged from a car accident)

Heres my mini story why i joined Slimming World:
Well basically I nearly had gastric bypass surgery! I need to lose the weight as stated above. I need to so i can have my knee/ligament surgery again as the weight is a big problem with recovering/been as successful as it would be. My surgeon refereed me to have it done, I was upset but understood it was for the best.
I was just over half way through my pre-op diet (2week diet to shrink liver) when i thought things through properly. I really wanted to SW as never have and i was scared for having such major surgery at the age of 22.
Ive done plenty other diets but they 'never worked' But im really going to try! So i cancelled my operation an joined my local SW group! (I did lose weight from that week but dont remember what it was, something like 7-9lb)

Having a reason why is half the battle, so well done for writing down a list. If the reasons to lose weight outweigh the reasons not to, then you have a winning formula.

Well since posting on here im still the same weight.
I had one of my operations i mentioned in my first post on one of my knees. I gained about 10lb back but are 3lb off my 5 & half stone award which was the lowest i achieved before surgery in March'13.
Im up and about again which took about 3 months to get on my feet. Still painful & cant walk far but im managing

Weigh in is tonight, hoping for a loss since ive been good all week, infact been back on track for over 3 weeks and feeling great!!
