As we tentatively step into the world of Steemit we can't help but marvel at the intricacies of access.. the mystery of the wait to receive unimaginably long passwords which unlock doors to worlds unseen, words unread and a platform from which we (hopefully) can record our journey towards happier and healthier selves.
Our names are Catherine and Laura. Just over a year ago we were both very unhappy with ourselves. Repeat Slimming World offenders, we had joined, quit, gained more than we'd lost before then joined, quit and so the cycle continued. I (Laura) suffer with fybromyalgia and M.E and so the more weight I gained the more I hurt. Cath also suffers with aches which worsened with weight gain. We decided to rejoin yet again and really push through the three month barrier we always seemed to quit at.
We always had a reason to quit - birthdays, Christmas, low income. When I went through redundancy we became budget slimmers. We vlogged and blogged on social media platforms and found support through the internet. A year on we have lost over seven stone between us and our journey continues. We would like to widen our social net to increase support and maybe help others with our budget friendly recipes, ideas and money saving tricks we use regularly.
We have been received well on YouTube. We like to have a laugh .. humour is essential! We are determined to succeed with slimming world (results so far show this), but we are generally relaxed in our approach. Life is too short to be serious. We would like to use this platform to expand on our own world beyond slimming world too; "The trials and tribulations of living on a low income" "living life as a same sex couple raising a child" "when the syn free chips are down," "days in the fields metal detecting" and "Am dram winters."
We would like you to join us on our journey and look forward to blogging and vlogging more in the coming days, weeks, months.....
