This started off as a journal entry,but so many want to do it a thread seemed the better place.
How many of you are unhappy with your weight ?
Wether you want to loose or gain this could be the thread for you.
Today i decided i was going to loose some weight and tell peeps how much i weigh ( to shame myself into doing something about it lol )
I will weigh myself every monday morning and put it on here for all to see.
Together we can encourage one another and track our progress.
So,here goes
I am 5 " 1 and 9st 13 lb dress size 12/14 and i want to loose about a stone in total but seven pounds is my short term goal before xmas !
Be brave and join me geeks xxxxx
Trying to get ready for work so dont have time to read this whole thread (will later on in my lunch break!)
All I wanted to say is - screw the diet and take up running!
In January this year I was given the book "Running Made Easy", written by two ladies who work on Zest magazine - it's great.
Just by starting off walking with only 1 minute intervals of running (they use this term loosly - anything more than a walk ie a shuffle is classed as running at this early stage) - now, yes it is 10 months later , but i can (fairly) easily run for 40 mins (with a friend is good - time goes quicker).
I have not changed my diet as such - I try to opt for lots fresh stuff. I take advantage of local farmers shop for locally veg etc and I try to avoid prepacked/ready meals - I hate the amount of salt they have in so it is not so hard. But believe me - I still have chocolate and wine, and am extremely partial to garlic bread baguettes, and the occasional sausgae roll (no saint as you can see).
However, I am now over half a stone lighter than at the beginning of the year (the weight change was gradual but I saw the inches start to come off in about 6 weeks!).
Just think - if you improved your eating and took up running too - the difference it could make! Cant recommend it enough!
Try it - you might like it
