Before...

Firstly, I apologise for the upcoming photos in my blog. They are not pretty, not in the slightest. But they were called for.

I decided I would go for the good old fashioned before and after photos of my diet. Admittedly, these photos are not of me at my biggest, I have lost weight since. But I wanted to take photos of the way I am to show the weight loss I AM going to achieve. I am in my underwear, and it is poorly fitting but I can't afford decent underwear at the moment. But when I lose the weight I want to lose, I will shell out and get the most gorgeous underwear in the world.

So here we go. My Before...and never again photos.





I am so out of proportion its' not true. My boobs are still small (I'm a C at the most) amd by calves...I have chicken legs!! Look! Skinny at the bottom and chubby at the top!

So its going. Thats it.

I have a cross trainer now (Ordered on Sunday delivered today) so as of tomorrow I'm on that every fucking day until I'm as skinny was I want to be. That and my Hula Hoop and my various fitness DVDs and my weights and skipping. That should be enough.

Found out my BMI is 28.4 which puts me in the Overweight section. Which is an improvement. I used to be 32 and classed as Obese. I would love to be 21/22. Slap bang in the middle of the healthy weight. I need to lose 3 stone to get down to 9 stone 10 which puts me slap bang in the middle.

Wish me luck.

Who fails at blogs? I do!

So updating again now I have started my diet...AGAIN! Managed to put on half the stone I had originally lost so back on the diet/exercise wagon. Well...not so much the exercise wagon as the diet wagon. Being V healthy :) Snacking on fruit, low fat things and cut out sugar at the moment too. So all good. Here is an average day food wise for me!

Breakfast
2 Weetabix
125ml Semi Skimmed Milk

Morning Snack
Apple

Lunch
Ham Sandwich with Light Phillidephia
Bag of Wotsits
Carton of Really Light Ribena

Afternoon Snack
Mullerlight Yogurt or Muller Vitality Yogurt/Drink

Dinner
Chilli made from tinned tomatos, Kidney Beans, one jar of pasta sauce and lots of veg. Served with 60g of Pasta
Apple Juice

After Dinner Snack
No Junk Gingerbread Men

Other Things
Nothing, drink Water/Sugar Free Squash but thats pretty much it!

Looking back I'm much healthier than I remember being! Frequently I might eat two yogurts in a day instead of one but only if my diet plan allows it.

I follow Scottish Slimmers which works on a points based system. The points are worked out by your weight. You get lots of freebies or allowances each day, so you can eat all the veg you like, get two free fruit portions and one Dairy Portion which is about double what I would use for Milk on my cereal or the same as a Mullerlight Yogurt.

So feeling pretty good about myself now.

Also feel I should advertise No Junk.

No Junk are basically for Kids. They are healthy snacks with no additives, sugar, crap in them, and they are organic. Pretty low in calories too! They can be found in your local Sainsburys and come in Gingerbread Men, Cocoa Bites and Orange Bites too I think but I have only tried the two former.

But go! Try them!!

So I've been back on the diet little over a week now and I've lost 3lb already. Quite happy with that :) Should show a nice steady progress to getting below 12 stone. I'm now at 12 stone 10lb and I would love to be below 12 stone for August. My current Goal is to get below 10 stone for October, should be possible. Need to get my arse into gear! Hopefully getting a Cross trainer next month so that should help me alot!

If I get to under 10 stone by October I'm going to treat myself to a nice outfit for when I got to Belgium. Not sure what yet, but possible revealing if I have the figure. Here are a couple of things I have my eye on..

I've been wanting this for a while now. In my current shape there is no way in hell I would wear it, but hopefully by Belgium, I should be able to look good in it :)


Another one I've had my eye on for a long long time. I'd probably buy this after I got to what I want to be as its something I'd probably wear more often.

I also intend to get another proper corset, one will make my waist smaller than its ever been. I have a 28" corset at the moment and even that makes me feel fat.

Now just a note for people who read this and thing "OMG ANOREXIC!" I am not. At all. I have been classed as obese by doctors so I have alot of weight to lose. I started at 13 stone 6 pounds and I'm down to 12 stone 10 pounds. I want to get down to 9 stone 7 pounds which is a healthy weight for someone of my height. I use the images I use to motivate myself to be thin and healthy. I'm not trying to be like anyone in my pictures, I just want to look as good as these people, have the courage to wear what they wear. I am an individual person and wouldn't want to give that up for anything. Anyone who wants to be someone else, you are wasting your time. You can only be you, so go out and discover you.
