So, I took the plunge today and bought scales.

My weigh in day is going to be Fridays, but obviously I couldnt wait and I weighed myself just a minute ago.

162 pounds. Wow. Just after I had my son 7 years ago I was about 170 so this is nearly the heaviest ever and since then I have been down to 120!!!



Goal is 126 so that is what... 36 to shift. I could actually cry.

So number one thing to go is wine. Whilst I cant promise Ill never indulge again, I know wine has a lot to answer for (well I do!!!) regarding how much I weigh. I used to look forward to a couple of glasses in the evening and at the moment I wouldnt enjoy it at all, Id just be thinking of the calories.
I seem to be under my calories daily, but I am logging exercise and not entirely sure that it is accurate so I am playing safe.

Last time I lost a significant amount of weight (bout 3 stone in 9 months) I mostly did it by a reasonably careful diet and a little (really little) bit of exercise. I was only 26 then - is that it? Im 33 now and since I was 29, this has crept on.

I have buried my head in the sand for so long, time to change!! Been going to the gym for 10 months now, though missing a week here or there - even so, must have been all the cheese and wine I have enjoyed inbetween that has meant no difference.

Right Im waffling here - basically looking for support and inspiration - it seems a mountain to climb and I am really depressed that I have let myself get this way.
