Once I was out of high school, I started to lose the weight I’ve had the majority of my life, and I lost my goal amount and then some. I’ve gone through an odd time in my life, mentally, and I’ve managed to gain back over 20 pounds at this time. Not the direction I was hoping to go. At all. Time to get back on the exercise and dieting track! 1 month ago

Down ten pounds from my original weight. Can’t tell where it’s coming from, though. 4 months ago

Joining weight watchers today, My mom and I are going to do it together. I went on weight watchers when I was still in middle school (which is sort of why I’ve always had a bit of a complex about weight, I think) and I had great success. So, we’ll see how this goes. 5 months ago

I put this goal on the back burner for a few months. I did manage to quit smoking in that time (which is why I decided not to focus on losing weight, and rather spend my attention on kicking the habit)and I haven’t gained any weight while doing so which is a big surprise and a mini celebration in itself.

I put up my calendar today; if I lose a pound a week beginning now, I’ll meet my goal just before my birthday. I’m going to start walking in the morning again, it’s such an easy way to burn a few calories, and a great way to get my day off on the right foot. I find my eating is so much better if I’ve already inveted time that day for exercise. It’s as if I can say to myself “Was that walk this morning for nothing?! PUT DOWN THAT COOKIE!”

Here’s to a new year, good luck everyone! Yay!

Over Christmas I know I have gained some weight, I’m not worried about it, it was Christmas! I wills tart updating my weekly weight losses when I go back to Slimming class on Saturday but for now, here is a photo update.

I can’t find many before photos that really show my size, mostly because I avoided photos completely but here is the best I could find.

Before… 5 months ago

I got very serious about this goal this year and I’ve since lost about 20 pounds (gained 10 back at one point and then hit a plateau where I maintained for a month or two, for shame), but I’ve also been focusing on overall fitness, which includes building muscle, so while the scale says about 20 pounds, I’ve gone and lost three pant sizes since I started. I feel and look amazing compared to before. I’m no skinny minnie, but who wants that!? I’m no longer concerned with a number, but rather with feeling healthy and strong!

It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle. 5 months ago

I have changed this goal as I think weighing 10 stone will be too far for me – I wouldn’t look right at 10 stone. When I weighted around 11 1/2 I looked fine so I am aiming for that for now and when I reach that weight I can decide whether I want to change my goal weight more or whether I am happy. 5 months ago
