Thread: On the road to a slimmer me :D

Well, I've been a member of this website for just over a month, been dieting since 1st January 2012 and I've done a lot better than I have done in previous attempts to lose weight. I've actually kept to eating properly (no cakes, bickies, choccie odd pack of crisps) and had no fizzy drinks!.. well tell a lie, the other day I bought a coke as my little one was up all night and I hated the taste so after a sip I let my OH have it

I'm not following a plan, just cutting out the naughty foods and actually excersizing & drinking a lot of water. I've not joined a gym yet - kinda feel too fat to join? I'm just walking a lot more & using the Wii with Biggest Loser, Just Dance 3 & EA Active Sports 2. So far I've lost 11lbs but I've been noticing clothes are fitting me better (I've got my waist back ) and I've gone down clothes size on my top half already. Most of my fat is in my bum and hips area I've noticed trousers are getting a bit baggier so thats a plus

Taking the little one (whos 3) to Butlins in May so wanting to be able to wear a swimming costume on the holiday (hoping its warm lol) & not feel embarrassed! - thats one of my mini goals

Hoping that with keeping a diary of daily events etc.. that it will help me in the long run & reach my goals

So yesterday I had kept to my food plan, and I was also able to do 45 minutes of Just Dance 3 Woke up this morning in a really good mood so thought I'd measure my waist and hips and they've both gone down by 2 inches Really good mood, last year I managed to get down to this waist size and hips size (weigh in is not until Thursday) and I gave up because I thought to myself "oh I've done enough, I can eat crap" - eurgh silly mistake that I will not make again this year!

Well I didn't weigh in on Thursday as our cat died , but been a good week again with exercises, must try and eat more filling foods though as it seems I'm always hungry

I've decided to walk for St Catherines Hospice, in July they are doing a 13 mile walk around the town centre at Midnight. So need to get fit for that!
