I have been dieting on and of for years now and as anyone who knows about dieting have managed over the years to put on more than I have actually taken off.
That was until a few years ago when I successfully managed to lose 31/2 stone with Weight watchers. Then I stopped going to classes (a long story as to why involving the leader of the class) and have put a stone back on again.
Now I still track my food and I have been doing exercise so a stone isn't too bad in the scheme of things but I want to get it off. However there have been a few health issues along the way which I am waiting for hospital appointments for, and an issue with a back with a disintigrating disc in it which causes a few problems on the exercise front, but other than that I am healthy and maintaining that stone I have put on.
Today I have decided enough of this I am going to lose it so have started back on the WW plan with vengence and increased on the exercise when I can, afterall I can still walk. Kids will not know what has hit them next week, believe me, they are on halfterm but I have planned a few walks which we can do together with the dogs, and I know there will be a few moans and groans involved, but I am determined I will shift this weight and stay on plan, now all I have to do is follow it through.
Wonder if I will still be so positive by the end of the month? We will see!
Don't set your sights too high then you are less likely to fail! Then you can arrange a 'second sight' and achieve exactly what you want.
The extra weight is most likely aggrevating your back problem so do keep going.
Stronger muscles mean less back pain. And don't forget to strengthen your tummy muscles as these support your back too. Best of luck!
