    3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI? No, my GW is 150 which would give me a bmi of 22.8 which is considered normal weight.

    14. What is your least favorite type of strength exercise?
    Chest press, my arms get so tired so quickly, I can barely do one rep! But my PT loves to have me do them.

    18. Try to use as little salt as possible today or maybe even none! Don’t buy microwave meals and don’t eat foods high in sodium.

    This is gonna be easy. Microwave meals are yuck and I have high blood pressure so avoiding salt is already a must.

    15. Write your current weight. Have you lost anything in the past week? If not, what are your plans for this week?
    I actually don't have access to a scale at the moment, and I haven't been frequenting the gym as much as I'd like, so I'll just assume I maintained.
    Next week will be pretty busy, so I hope to just stay active and eat well.

    16. Which part of your body do you wish to change the most and why?
    My thighs/booty. It's where all the fat accumulates on my body, and I'm just generally not happy with them.

    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?

    The healthy way :) 1lb per week. I would even be happy with 1/2lb.

    Missed yesterday, so answering 2 questions today:

    2. Describe your dream/goal body.

    I've pretty much stayed in proportion as I've gained weight so I'd like the body that I have now but on a much smaller scale, firmer and less lumpy! Basically the body I had when I was in my 20s - a UK size 10 with boobs and a bum like a shelf :)


    3. Is your UGW in an unhealthy range of BMI?

    No, it's slap bang in the middle of the normal range.

    This is cool! I am in!

    Day 1: I am 5'8, 188.4 pounds and I am trying to get between 135-140 pounds.
    I am losing weight to look better, feel better, and to live a long and successful life.

    im starting this today. sounds like a really good idea to keep me motivated every day.

    1. Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight?

    H: 5'8
    CW: 167.11lbs
    GW: 130lbs (this keeps changing :/ i now have no idea what i want to be, i guess i'll know when i get there...but definitely within a healthy BMI)

    I want to lose weight so that i become healthier and look, feel fitter. I've been fat all my life so its time to turn myself into the natural me.

    16. Which part of your body do you wish to change the most and why?
    My midsection, of course. Because I want to look in the mirror and look smaller to myself, I don't like feeling fat.

    17. Do you have a special event/date you want to lose the weight for?

    While this is not my motivation for working out and eating right, I AM hoping to feel...er...sexy...by a certain date. Specifically, by early December. I'm going to go see some family for about a month in Brasil, and I haven't seen most of them in 2 years, and I haven't spent Christmas with any of them in over 10 years. I've always been the chubby member of that side of the family, and I'd love to feel confident in an itty bitty bikini alongside my cousins for the first time ever.

    4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try!

    Bugger, already had 2 cups of tea with milk! I'll give it a go though

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?

    This changes all the time! I have a RL friend called Sian who recently lost lots of weight, so I guess she's an inspiration. The Zumba instructor who's classes I used to go to when I lived in my parent's house.. she has an amazing body. Celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne and Adele too, they both look 1000x better :)

    17. Do you have a special event/date you want to lose the weight for?
    Yes, my 5th year wedding anniversary in May. I'm hoping to be at my goal weight by then but I'll settle for close to that.

    21. Do you focus more on getting lean and mean or tiny and fragile?

    Neither of those really. I'd like to be a bit stronger and toned, but I definitely don't wanna lose my curves!

    Completely failed at attempting to be vegan yesterday - had egg for brekkie, tuna for lunch and beef for dinner! But I still want to give it a try some time though. Or maybe just vegetarian - I can't do without my morning cuppa.

    5. What is your favorite healthy food?

    I honestly don't have a favourite, I love practically all food! But I hate cooking so let's say my favourite is something healthy that's been prepared by friends or family :)

    Like I told my husband hen he told me he wants to cut salt out of his diet, it screws up what I plan to make for lunch. I will try for for as low as possible.

    I missed a few days so here's my questions!

    4. Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! Whoops, didn't do this. Will give it a shot in a couple days though!

    5. What is your favorite healthy food? Coconut Milk & Strawberries.

    6. What is your favorite unhealthy food? Donuts & Cinnamon Rolls...I have been so tempted to have a doughnut lately but I've been good!

    7. What is your least favorite healthy food? Unfortunately I don't like too many veggies, so probably either asparagus or celery.

    10. Do you count calories? If so, what is your daily limit?
    Yes I TRY to count calories and I TRY to keep it around 2000/day,

    13. What is your favorite type of strength exercise?
    Squats and dead man lifts, my legs are pretty good so they don’t hurt after those types of exercises.

    12. What is your least favorite type of cardio?
    Running/jogging, I am flat footed to moving like that hurts not to mention uncoordinated so I tend to trip alot.

    I am skipping the queations I can't actually try to do at theis time. I will try on the week ends and post on monday.

    6. What is your favorite unhealthy food?

    Cheese! Cheese fondue, cheese cubes with a packet of crisps or twiglets, cheesy pasta, cheese toastie... usually a strong vintage cheddar, but I'm partial to a bit of parmesan or wensleydale every now and then. I can eat half a block of cheese in one sitting without realising it. Usually washed down with a bottle of red which I'm sure cancels out the fat in the cheese ;)

    19. Are you losing weight the healthy (<2lbs/week) or the unhealthy (>2lbs/week) way?

    I guess you'd consider it unhealthy cause I'm currently losing 3-4 pounds a week, but I eat back all my exercise calories except for 200-300 so I have room to share if I underestimate something, I work out daily anywherefrom an hour to two and a half hours, and I strength train 2-3x a week. I don't go overboard on the processed foods and sweet, drink my water daily, and try to make as many meals as possible at home.

    20. Who is your biggest weight loss inspiration and why?

    I'm not sure if I really have one.... I don't know anyone personally that has lost weight like I'm trying to. So I'm my own inspiration and hope to be someone else's someday too.
