I joined MFP in May and for the few weeks I stuck to it I lost 12lbs. Great! Then I got bored and really stopped trying.

I decided last night that I AM worth my hard work and today i weighed in. 7lbs on. Not too shabby really considering my relationship with full fat cola and chinese takeaway food....

So. I am here and I am staying. Well, some of me anyway. Today was spent just really eating what i wanted and logging. Now, my diary is reading 2,846 cals. I have gone over by MORE than I am supposed to eat per day!! SHOCKING.

I am back and I have 100lbs to lose altogether.

I am a uk22 now, and want to get into a size 16 bridesmaid dress in June (and if my luck comes in, a size 14 wedding dress a short time later)

I think where I went wrong last time was a lack of exercise and not enough water. I limited my cola intake from 6 cans a day to 2 but didn't really drink anything else so unsuprisingly felt hungry a lot. Tomorrow will be difficult, my nephew is nominated for an award and I am going to the ceremony (its a 3 course meal and I have no idea what the choices are yet) but there is no excuse which will make me put this off for even a day longer. This is happening NOW. Not Monday morning, not the day after halloween or when my cola is all gone (I have a 12pack in the cupboard) or when I don't have as much work to do etc, NOW.


I do VERY little exercise. I drive everywhere. I am planning on this week ditching the car for the school run (this will be 80 minutes of walking in total per day) and I will be getting on my wii fit. I have the sports resort games and Zumba which has shamefully been sitting on my shelf in its original packaging since August. I seriously need to stop being lazy.

    You are most definitely worth every minute of the hard work this will take. Change only one or two routines at a time. Walking to work? Excellent idea. Do it as many times as you can over a few weeks. Ready to start an exercise routine? Awesome! Make sure you build up to it - if it's too much at once, it's too easy to give up.

    I used to drink cans upon cans of diet pop (because I'm diabetic), and now that I've added water to my diet... I find myself wanting water more and more often. It's about habits, and habits take time to break and remold. You CAN do this. I am glad to have you on my friends list already, and I wish you the best of luck in this journey :)
