Here are my progress photos so far ... part two, i did do a post on my progress five weeks back. The first picture is end of June 2013, the second five weeks ago, and the third today!

I was a skinny teen ( possibly too skinny, a ballet dancer with a anorexic mother who somehow pushed her unhealthy views of food onto me!) I never ate. Uni started, I met girls my age at the time who actually ate, and got into cooking, gained a few pounds and looking back looked amazing, but I didnt think so. When I finished uni i went into the bar trade and managed a bar, worked hard played harder! no time for food, just work and alcohol! Then I fell pregnant with my now four year old son ... in a nut shell: bad pregnancy, bed bound , alot of weight gained! since he was born I have tried all kinds of diets, and quick fixes and fads .... until this year, after I had meningitis in march I felt the need to become healthy. I joined MFP found out I UNDERATE! and that is when the that little light bulb pinged! Upped my cals, eat clean and sweat lots! here are my photos so far ... not done yet! THIS IS A LIFESTYLE :D

    Super happy have inspired you, but you have already stared your path just by being on MFP. Request me if you like. The key is EATING!! Clean of course, and sweating! Would be happy to help support and guide you. :D

    Thank-you everyone. I aim for 1500 cals a day but sometimes struggle. coming from eating aprox 800 cals a day, it has been hard work upping it. My food intake is 80% clean. Still eat carbs, still drink wine ...still have the odd sweet treat, just everything in moderation. I dont believe in cheat days, as this is a lifestyle change I dont want to feel like im not living six days of the week then gorge on one. So I have adapted meals to be low fat and low cal. and get a little treat in most days. Exercise: I have recently started lifting heavy only once a week, but wish to do MORE! Other than the lifting I have done all my exercises from home: with a pair of 4kg dumbells, and 1.5kg dumbells for cardio. I have followed the HASfit 90 Day Warrior Program. Yesterday was my last day, and moving onto the HASfit HERO 90 day Challenge. Google it its FREE! No catches i promise! The Warrior plan mixed up Plyometics, HIIT, Aerobics, Lifting, MMA and ABS. xx
