Don't want to be 45 and fat - looking for friends

carolinebrussels

Hi. I'm 44, have 2 kids - 6 year and 18 months. I was never fat per se - just a big build and being 5'11"/6 ft I could carry it. Then I got pregnant. I never lost the weight from the first child in 2007 let alone the last child in 2012!

Enough is enough. I want to quickly lose some weight before Christmas and then some after.

I'm 94kg (207 pounds) (was 96 -have lost 2 kg in the past week)

Before I had the kids I was about 80kg (176 pounds) and that was actually fine for me because of my height, but ideally I'd like to be 75kg(165 pounds).

Before christmas comes around I'd love to lose 9kg or 20 pounds. My motivation is at an all time high.

I'm doing a low carb high protein diet, in tandem with the 5:2 diet to kick start things and also to kick start me giving up sugar!

I'm hoping to go to the gym (which I pay for and never go to....) but I have a sore knee at the moment.

Ok - that's it from me for the moment. I would love if someone of similar proportions - 6ft +/- 200lbs was around to join me on this journey.
