So today marks 14 weeks to the Summer holidays. Like most people, now really is the point that I start to think about what I want to wear in the summer, but I always end up wearing shorts and this hurts, heave forbid my legs see the sun. This is because I'm over weight, and have been for some time now - I'm currently 5lbs off my heaviest weight, and I've been stuck here for some time.
So I'm setting myself a challenge, I have 14 weeks to turn around how I see myself and get back into shape. I've been really inspired by the girls over at Where are My Knees, especially Sarah who has done really well. I've followed their progress on their blog and from talking to Sarah on twitter it feels like now I'm in the right place mentally to do this. I'm going to get back into Weight Watchers really well, following the meal plans that are on the website.
I'm also going to up my exercise again as I used to be active and sporty and have got lazy recently. I will post up my meal plan on Monday as well as that weeks exercise plan so if you want to see it then you can. I'm not setting myself a weight goal as I will become obsessive with the scales, instead weighing on a Saturday and posting me measurements every 2 weeks.
So these are my current measurements
Height 5ft 9 Dress
Size : 14/16
Thighs: 26.5inch
Bum: 44.5inch
Hip: 42inch
Waist: 34.5inch
Arms: 13inch
So that's me, its taken a lot for me to post this, it's quite a personal post as I know about my issues with food and my body, it's something I've ignored for a lot of my adult lie, but it has affected me. So I wil need a lot of support, so all kind words are appreciated!
Thanks for reading xx
hey sarah :D
ReplyDeleteim trying to do this aswell, i joined weightwatches last week and in my first week i lost 3 pound, it is hard sometimes but i think you have to allow yourself a little of what you want, which is where i went wrong last time, so i am going to join in with you, 14 weeks to not loose alot of weight but to feel abit more confident in myself, good luck with it all i reckon you will do amazing, i cant wait to hear your story :D xxx
aww well done on your first loss - its a great feeling! Let me know how your getting on! xx
DeleteBy just exercising 10 mins a day and cutting out all the sweets i've lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks. Which doesnt seem like much but at least i'll be able to keep it off, keep going and maintain it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Brave of you to post this but I hope that it helps! Sometimes making other people aware of the challenge you are facing makes you doubly sure to get going with it!
