WEIGHTLOSS FOR INSTITUTE OF CANCER RESEARCH

Hi everyone

An amazing friend Trudi Smith has at long last after a few years been accepted to run the London Marathan 2024 as part of the charity institute of Cancer research.

Firstly let me tell you who she is Trudi is my consultant at slimming World in Norwich UK, Trudi is the most passionate person I've ever met when it comes to getting people to lead a healthy lifestyle, she has become an amazing friend and mentor.

I've been a member of this group since February 2019, and I've been up and down like a yoyo but at this point I am the heaviest I've ever been, and now at the age.of 43 I am not getting any younger plus as I already have physical disabilities where I need a wheelchair additional weight doesn't make life any easier.

I chose Slimming world because when done 100% on plan, it is successful without needing to do physical exercise (that's the bonus to be stronger and toned etc) but last year or so I've been all over the place but I've had enough and want to start getting back on plan and focusing on my health and well-being.

When Trudi announced she had been accepted to run I started feeling bad that I would not be able to sponsor her much because I only live on benefits, so I have come up with a plan to do a sponsored weight loss challenge and all money I raise from this will got to Trudi towards her charity of the Institute of Cancer research. Which as we all know anything that can help beat the horrible disease is crucial. We all know how vital it is to help charities like this because we have all had people in our lives that battle with the disease every day.

I weigh in every Tuesday, so from tomorrow I will start with the weight I am on the scales and will start the sponsor from that point on. My target is 50lbs minimum over a 40 week period this will take me to the end of April 2024 when Trudi will have run the 26.2 mile Marathan in the Month.

I decided this way would be easier to keep track, some people are sponsoring me per pound I lose, some are doing per stone, whatever you can sponsor would be amazing, it would get my bum in gear (and even smaller ) plus help an amazing cause.

Each week starting from the 1st of August I will be sharing my weightless journey on social media Facebook and Instagram so you can all see how I'm doing including my Start weight so you can all be part of my journey.

I appreciate and love you all for supporting me

Love Cat
