Hello!

I’ve been lurking around this forum for a while but only just posted for the first time today. I figured since I’ve made one post, I might as well track my progress on here too. I think that putting my story out there for everyone to read will make me stick to my plan and keep me motivated.

So, I just finished experimenting with Slimming World and after having no success, I want to try something new. I’m going to fast every other day (or 4:3 – I’ll see how it goes) with doing the 8 hour diet on the other days to keep me on track. I’m not going to stop eating all the food I love, I’m just going to limit them and fast to make up for it (if I need to).

Anyway, my stats:

Age: 19
Height: 5 foot 5
Start Weight: 18 stone
BMI: 41
Goal weight: 12-13 stone (whenever I decide I’m happy)

I don’t think I’m going to weigh myself every week because it’ll just put me off the diet if I haven’t lost any weight. I might wait for 6 weeks before first weighing myself because I’ve read in a lot of places that the diet needs that long to get to work, but I might also give in after 3. We’ll have to wait and see! I’m going to post an update on how I feel and how it’s been going when I can/remember or whenever I need some support.

…and I think that’s everything, wish me luck!
