I've been here before a few times but am doing this properly and I'm not stopping until I reach my goal now. I'm not following anything specific, just healthy eating, more exercise and a positive attitude* where I tell myself that I CAN do it, no matter how long it takes or how hard it is. Nothing in life that is worth anything comes easy.
My weight loss journey so far has been rather up and down. My highest weight was 17st 12lb. I got down to around 14st 7lb via weight watchers in 2009, but then gained much of that back through 2010 ending up at 17st 5lb at the start of August 2010. I started seeing my gorgeous boyfriend on August 15th 2010 at a weight of 17st 1lb. I've done a few bits and bobs of dieting since then and got down to 16st 5lb by December 31st 2010. My challenge for 2011 was to reach a goal weight of 10st 9lb which puts me approx 1 stone lighter than him. I HATE being heavier than him - especially since he is so fit and active. So, on January 1st I started a new way of eating. I currently weigh 15st 4lb after losing 17lb in January then bouncing up and down by 2lb for the last month (VERY frustrating!).
However, undeterred by this fact, I intend to attempt to lose 10lb in March, 10lb in April and 8lb in may, giving me a further 2 stones off by June 1st. This would take me to 13st 4lb - pretty exciting stuff if I can do it. I have signed up to my first 5k run on June 12th so need to be ready to run that! From then I aim for 7lb per month until the end of the year, giving my my goal weight by December 2011
I plan to record my journey here (even on days I can't be bothered) by tracking my food, exercise efforts and losses as I go along. I won't be posting everything I eat - just more, was I good or not! Hoping to make friends along to way to share my journey and to encourage me along - especially anyone who has as much to lose as me!!
Thanks,
