DANNYS WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY WITH WEIGHT WATCHERS
Hi my name is Daniel Phillips, i am a 27 year old male who lives in Taunton, Somerset, UK.
I grew up in Brighton, Sussex and left in 2001.
I have always been big as a child, normally putting on a stone a year. I have tried many diets but nothing has worked if if they do then i dont stick at them for long and revert back to my old ways and end up putting on as much weight as i have lost and probably even more.
In April 2009 I was suffering with my weight, i was always out of breath, tired, unmotivated and constantly getting chest infections which as you can imagine really got me down.
I have never really watched TV programmes about obesity but one day i decided i would and after that i knew i had to do something because otherwise i would be dead before the age of 30!
This is a picture (to the left) of me when i was at my heaviest in September 2008 at my godsons christening.

THE START OF THE JOURNEY
I couldn't believe these photos and i look awful when im in photos with everyone else, so i decided i needed to do something about it and fast. I was also fed up with having to order my clothes on line which i have had to do for as long as i can remember now. I just wanted to be able to go into clothes shops on the high street to buy my clothes.
Towards the end of April 2009 i decided that i was going to join a local weight watchers group as i had been before with a friend and i had lost almost 5 stone but had put it all on since then.
It took me a couple of weeks to build up the courage to go mainly because i was scared about what the scales would say but i did go in the last week of April 2009 and yes i was extremely shocked with what i saw on the scales. I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING QUICK. my partner, lorraine also wanted to lose weight but was not keen on joining the groups partly because of the extra money involved for both of us to do, so she decided to do it at home with my guidance.
I felt really motivated that first week and stuck to everything that i should. It paid off the first week as when i went to be weighed i had lost 11 LBS !!!!! I couldn't believe it, this was the biggest weight loss i have ever had and it helped me programme my mind for the long haul, and so the journey began....
