Dear all,
After hanging around this forums -on and off - for years on the strugglers and restarters forums, I am finally here. Stuck long enough to my exercise routine to start a diary...
My background: I am 29yrs, 5'4" in height and weigh around 71 kg (156lb). I've been overweight since about 10 yrs now! I had a naturally slim body until then, but I abused it by overeating junk all the time...I've had many failed attempts at losing weight before... I am married and I have a 2yr old child. I put on weight during pregnancy and lost all of it without any particular effort...so you understand what I mean, I forced my body into putting on weight by eating junk for most meals...
I am a freelance consultant in the financial services sector. I have a very busy stressful life - managing home, work and a 2yr old...somewhere in all this, I was perhaps a bit depressed and over ate a lot...... I am determined more than ever to lose weight... I want to work hard to lose all my excess weight only with exercise and sensible eating... also, I want to be taken seriously at work...I mean, I want my committment and determination to show... I want my clients to be more confident about me...I dont mean fat ppl are bad workers...but dont you agree that there is an air of confidence about fit ppl?
Anyway, I started working out in a gym about 1.5 weeks ago... I already lost 1kg!! yay!! I'll record all my activity here!
