Righto, so it's midweek and according to the scales today I am 3lbs down from Saturday. I'm sure it's just a pleasant looking fluctuation so I'm not making it official just yet, but I am rather pleased anyway! I am wondering how seeing as I stuffed myself Saturday? Could it be that the extra protein I had on that day helped in some way? The mind certainly boggles.
Also managed 30 minutes on the Ellipital/Cross trainer, and that's an achievement I will celebrate! I only managed 5-10 minutes 5 weeks ago. It's immense how quickly you increase your work-outs while barely realising. Maybe in another 5 weeks I can do a full hour? I'll treat that as a goal I think.

Tough week!
OK, so I struggled through this week a bit, but the scales were going in the right direction with a loss of 2.5lbs.
Only swam twice due to the pool being overrun with brats. (I hate summer holidays!) Though I did my water aerobics on Wednesday and Salsacise on Thursday, which was different and fun.
Fell off the wagon a bit yesterday as there was a huge BBQ at my house and I ended having some ice cream, White bread and butter, fruit juice and chocolate. Didn't graze massively though, but I'm not expecting miracles on the scale this week.
Have noticed my fitness improving though. My heart rate is lower, especially during work outs, and I can do double the time on machines. In many cases a lot more than that. I have lacklustre days, but on the whole I'm powering through everything.
On reflection I just wished I'd done this years ago!

Lost my first stone!
So only 1.5lbs down last week, but it takes me over my first minor-mini goal. I've lost 1 stone! 14.5lbs to be precise.
I'm down to 283.5lbs and close to my next minor-mini goal of under 280lbs. (20 stone)
OUCH, it does hurt to admit that I weigh more than 20 stone, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can say that I'm officially back in the teens!
Got a busy workout week planned, with an hours cardio every day, water-aerobics on Wednesday and swimming today (Monday), Wednesday and Friday. Hopefully I'll see more than a twitch on the scales this week.
I'm looking forward to the 9/10th of August, my 6 week review so I can see if I've lost any inches since I started. I don't look any different, but I'd love to see my hard work translated in inches!

Second Weigh-In.
OK, so on my first week I lost 8lbs this week I lost 5lbs.
I know I should be really pleased, but I really thought I should have done better. Some of my work-outs were a little lackluster, and I only swam twice. I also didn't keep a tight leash on my calorie intake, so I've no idea how many I was consuming.
I'm sure for now on my losses are going to start getting smaller, so I need to work harder from today. If I get another good loss this Saturday I'll be amazed, and very pleased!

The beginning of the end (of being fat!)
Well, hello and welcome to my Blog. I'm new to this, so be gentle!
Basically I'm keeping this as a weight loss tracker, a way to connect with other dieters, and somewhere to air my views and frustrations.
So here we go;
I've always been a large girl, ever since being a child. Old habits are dying hard, and after stepping on the scale a couple of months ago just to find they don't go that high I freaked out and decided enough was enough.
On June 27th 2010 I started at my local gym weighing a ghastly 298lbs! A week later I had lost 8lbs, and I'm continuing from there.
I weigh-in every Saturday, so I'll probably update mainly then, and any other time I need to vent.
Cheers and enjoy my journey!
