saltyseadog's fat fighting diary

So, I have decided to take control and get into shape!

I am hoping a food diary where I can log my daily meals and exercise will help me keep on track. It will also be good to keep a record of my weight. My weigh in days will be on a Monday so I will do my first weigh in tomorrow.

I have always struggled with my weight and with getting married next year I really want to get into shape now. My target weight is 8 stone (I'm a shortie- 5ft 4 at a push).

I have enjoyed taking a look at others diaries and hope to get to know you better over the course of mine :)

Hello Salty :) nice to see you here.
Keeping a diary is a great idea and there's always someone to offer support if you need it.
Are you following a diet plan?
Have you noticed there is a quarterly challenge running? (Jan to Mar) but you could still join. I've found it a brill help with weight loss when I've been struggling

Hi Salty.
Tell me about your wedding! I'd love to get married again (still to Mr Smith in case he's reading!).
What are your plans with your weight loss? Do you have any mini targets to keep you on track?
 
Thanks both :)
