2nd September 2015 to date

I really started thinking about my health lifestyle after my son's birth in July 2014. I weighed a whopping 98kg (216lbs) I should be 60kg (132lbs). I am ashamed to say I tried diet tablets obviously losing a little bit but gaining it back almost immediately once off. I was constantly feeling ill and my joints were sore. I managed to drop to 86kg (189lbs) but just stayed there. I decided enough was enough I joined a wonderful group on face book that encourages you every step of the way as well as MFP to log my exercises and food I eat, there are still days that I nose dive off the wagon but I get right back on it. I am still a long way off from my goal but its not a race. What I have learnt on my journey so far, take it one meal at a time, if you cheat don't beat yourself up about it just make a better choice with the next meal and the scale terrifies many people so rather go by measuring your success on how you feel in your clothes. I am certain I am going to learn a whole lot more as I go on but here is to victory no matter how long it takes.
