So I've been sort of trying to lose weight for a long time. 'Sort of' being the problem!
Anyway the past month or so I have finally got my act together and made a proper effort to eat less and move more - nothing complicated, just a bit of elbow grease and dedication!
It has paid off!! I still have a way to go, but I'm so pleased with my current progress that I am feeling motivated enough to believe that I can do the rest
woo!!
Overall, I have lost two stone - my highest weight EVER was 242. I started this most recent stint at 228, and I'm now at 214.
Better yet, I compared my measurements today and in just shy of six weeks I have lost 9inches - 4" from my waist alone!
I'm so happy, and not just because of the success - mostly I'm proud if myself and feeling like I got this. Yay
