Hi everyone! I’m a 19 year old student from Devon. I’m graduating in 2012 and really want to have lost the weight for my graduation. Also, I recently got engaged and me and my partner are hoping to get married in 2013, I’m hoping to lose lots of weight this year and keep it off for the wedding.
To begin with I’m going to eat healthily (couting calories) and start regular exercise. I’ve lost 2 stone before (but have nearly put it all back on!) so will try and go about losing weight in the same way. I live with my partner and he is hoping to lose a little bit as well, so hopefully he will support me in my journey.
I’m thinking about taking up running. I’m very very unfit and know I won’t be able to run very far to begin with, but hopefully I will get better as time goes on. I’m doing the race for life this year for my gran who sadly passed away just before Christmas, so I really want to be able to run the 5K by June. I’m also getting the davinafit DVD next week so will start doing 30 minute work outs in the mornings. I also really love swimming so will go when I have the time.
In 2 weeks time I start my second year placement which is a 3 hour drive away. I’ll be staying away for 3 nights a week at a friend’s house and am worried that the stress of being away is going to result in me eating rubbish. I’m hoping that keeping this diary will help keep me on track.
I want to lose 3 stone this year. So I will be 12 stone 10lb’s by the end. I have made a few short term goals to help keep me motivated:
I will keep a food and exercise diary and record my highs and lows on here. I'm going to take photos of myself to help with motivation. Weigh in day will be Fridays.
Goals:
1. To have an “overweight” BMI (treat = big bar of chocolate)
2. To have lost half a stone (treat = weekend away at Bath Spa)
3. To have lost a stone (treat = go for a meal somewhere nice)
4. To have lost a stone and half (treat = new pair of jeans)
5. To have lost two stone (treat = new dress)
6. To have lost two and a half stone (treat = another meal? TBC)
7. To have lost three stone, be at goal and have a healthy BMI (treat = go wedding dress window shopping!)
I’d be really grateful of any support or advice. Also any quick, easy and cheap recipes.
So here it goes... !
