Been debating to join this thread for a long time now, but never actually did it. Mostly because I'll decide I want to lose weight, do well for a week, then give up again. So far however, I've been sticking to a low calorie lifestyle for 2 weeks now ... which is a looong time for me. I'm not dieting as such, just cut out all the crap. Which only leaves me with less than 1000 calories a day on average. Quite happy about that!
Thing that finally dragged me across is that my OH bought me Wii Fit yesterday!! Finally got a good way of keeping track of how much I weight (and it tells me I'm 13 pounds lighter than the scales!!!) and actually getting some exercise in (fibromyalgia means I gotta be careful with exercise). Hopefully I'll keep it up this time!
Stats:
Height: 174 cm (5'7")
Weight: 111.5 kg (245.8 pound, 17.5 stone)
BMI: 36.5 (according to NHS, forgot what Wii Fit told me)
Clothing Size: 20/22 Bottom, 18/20 Top
Not really wanting to go down to the weight and BMI I -should- be, but hoping to be around a size 16/18 by Feb next year (When I turn 22). Weight wise, I'd just love to be in double digits again (kilos!) ... haven't been that since I was around 12. So hoping to lose at least 26 pounds before then. I know compared to most ladies here I'd still be very big then (15 and half stone), but to me it would be a massive achievement =)
Photo: Not the best, and do excuse the mess ... it will do to give everyone an idea of what body shape I have/am. Ermm ... yes, I know I've got holes in my top
And face, not my favourite of the bunch, but I'm hoping that this angle will show more weight loss over time ... the photos I like better are all from a massive angel.
There you have it! That's all there is to know about me at the moment =) I'll probably be checking weight every Sunday from now on. Hopefully next week will show some progress.
