Hi everyone,
Im new,
aka Chris....
I stumbled upon this site looking for inspiration about a week or so ago, i decided today i would join and post up my diary as an extra thing keeping me right, or giving me some sort of place to be held accountable for..
I was stumbling upon pictures put up of me in the last month or so with friends on nights out, and i was horrified, for the first time in a long time i've found myself avoiding photo's afraid someone will catch me looking fatter than i feel again....
So last Thursday, I decided to start my weight loss journey...
even though my mother is a WWatcher leader i'm not following that, instead ive been and will continue to be following a sensible diet plan,which is essentially;
#cut out the crap(there is alot of it)
#start drinking loads of water
#cut out fizzy drinks and alcohol
#aim to burn between 500-700 calories at the gym 5 times a week.
ive just finished my second year at uni.
so ive nothing to do apart from work, but my hours are silly early in the morning 6am to 1pm at the very latest, so ive no excuse for not having the time.
I got a scholarship to go to Montana and study there for a whole year fully paid....i go on the 20th of August....this is my goal date.
I started this at 18stone and 1 pound
by August 20th i would idealistically love to be in the 14stone bracket, even 14stone 13...i have literally not been that weight since i was about 13/14 so never have been near that weight in my adult life.....
My week 1 weigh in is tomorrow after work at 9.45am i shall post on here the results i'm nervous but excited about starting this again, ive got glastonbury at the end of this month, and my first mini target is to lose a stone and my next mini goal is to put no weight on at the festival...i put on half a stone last year( although within a week id lost a stone due to eating a dodgy last meal)
Anyway, id love any advice comments, support, or whatever so feel free to reply, tell me how you kept your motivation up during your weight loss....
Many thanks,
Chris
Ill post pics later when im slightly happier :sigh:
