Redpiggy, the fat piggy!!!

Hi everyone!
Just realised I never introduced myself!!

I'm redpiggy
I'm a student midwife, and I'm fat. Hence he fat piggy!!
I feel like a hypocrite telling pregnant women about being healthy etc when I'm quite clearly not. I also feel really fat in my size 18 tunic and 20 pants! UK sizes I may add. I normally take a 16 and 18, but the uniform is poorly fitting and everyone went up at least one size.
My goal is to be a size 10/12, which would put me hopefully in a 12 uniform.
And roughly 150lbs. Yes BMI of 25, technically overweight.. But I've been there before and any less and I look silly.

I tried without calorie counting and lost some weight, but I stalled at about 5lbs. I then changed scales, which as many of you know is a terrible idea!! I gained 3lbs in the space of a minute!!
So overall at the moment my loss is 3lbs after this mornings weigh in, but 0.5lbs gain from when I started on here. I binged badly on saturday when I went out. I drank my daily calories, nevermind including the takeaway!!

But yeah,
I'm exercising more, eating MUCH better and feel good about myself. I hope to lose 30lbs by 31st of May for a challenge on another forum that I won't say the name of.
My original goal was to lose 50lbs by 8th July, but thats too much really. As long as I dare wear shorts this summer I'll be happy
Maybe even a bikini.....
