Hi there
So now I'm back on track I thought I'd create my own little place where I can some and chat away about how I'm doing! Love reading these diaries and find them a good kick up the bum!
So I've pretty much always been overweight. Put a couple of stone on at uni, taking me to 12 st 9, in my final year, 2009, got down to 11st ish by doing the Paul McKenna I can make you thin method and felt a lot better.
Started PGCE and losing weight fell by the wayside and I slowly put the weight back on, begun teaching and in my first year put even more on.
Finally weighed myself last April as none if my clothes fitted and I was up to 13 st 10 and a size 16 for the first time jn my life.
Started using my fitness pal and going to the gym, between April and June/July lost 13lbs and got down to 12st 11.
However, summer holidays and a new term took me out of my routine and again I lost the plot.
Developed a bit of a sneaky addiction to McDonald's quarter pounders and kept sneaking there on my way home!! Weird behaviour!
Got engaged in December 2012 and was determined to lose weight for the wedding (summer 2014) but it took until the first week of June to finally get my act together when I saw a picture if myself looking really big at a friend's birthday.
Weighed myself and I was back up to 13st 5. Thankfully not all the way back to where I started at 13st 10 but I did feel really big.
I got back onto logging everything on MFP and although the first few days felt like a right pain in the bum, I quickly got back into the routine and now it isn't a problem at all. Also joined a new gym and have been going 3x a week since the start of June.
As of weigh in yesterday I am down to 12 st 13 so I've lost 6lbs so far. Not a great loss but slow and steady wins the race eh! And I do have PCOS which slows it down somewhat!
I'm currently 14/16 in clothes and only 5 ft 2. I'm aiming for around 10st and I think this will make me a 10/12. Not sure as I haven't been less that 10 st 7 in my adult life!
10st still puts my BMI slightly above 25 but for some reason the realms of <10st scare me!
And I'm aiming for as big a loss as possible by September as ill be going wedding dress shopping!
