A BIT OF A BACKGROUND

Okay well here i am... My name is Suzanne and i am a 26 year old single mother to a very handsome almost 8 year old boy. I have always struggled with my weight from as young as i can remember. At 17 i lost a lot of weight and then became pregnant with my son, i gained 30 kilos through my pregnancy. About 1 year and a half after i lost 20kg's using the weight watchers programe at home. I loved my new body and enjoyed a new found confidence. about 3 years after this i split with my boyfriend and started gaining the weight back, I also quit smoking and started to work in a Cafe with really yummy, really fatty food, once again i found my self 30 kilos hevier without even noticing. I took a trip to Africa and when i got back i decided i was going to have to do something about my weight, i was hating who i saw in the mirror but just wanted to eat, eat, eat... i love food and the experience of eating. So in 2008 i joined some family and friends in a "biggest loser" competition, Where i went from 99.2kg to 90.8kg thats a loss of 8.4kg, i didn't win the comp but was really proud of what i did. A few months after this we started another biggest loser comp and i went from 92.8kg to 84.8 thats another 8kilos so that brings me down to a total loss of 16.4kilos, WOOHOO!!! Unfortunatly over christmas and new year i put a few kilos back on and got back up to 87kg. I have started to try to lose weight again and my first weigh in was 2/1/09 and i was 87kg My second weigh in was on 9/1/09 and i weighed 85.4kg thats a loss of 1.6kg or 1.83% total body weight. Sorry if i seem a bit boring tonight just wanted to catch you all up on where i've been and where i'm hoping to go. My ultimate goal is to get back to 65kg but for this year i am aiming for 15kilo loss i'm hoping for a 500g loss/week give or take a little.

  1. Good Luck Suzie! 500 g a week sounds like a reasonable goal. Remember that you are beautiful and even if you never lose another kilo (though I'm sure you will) you are still ok just as you are!
