klairbear's journey - it's going to be a long one!

Hi everyone,

Well I'm back and weigh more than ever :cry:
But rather than give in and figure I'm meant to be this way, I have decided enough is enough!!

Whilst things aren't settled in my life at the mo I'd be stupid to keep delaying (and to be honest, making excuses). I am also starting on the path to a new career, I'm back at uni and training for my dream job. Plus I turn 30 in 7 weeks So it seems to make sense to get back on plan - I know it works, I lost 3 stone last time, and i am determined to do it right!

Unfortunatly due to family circumstances and my job i can't attend group, so will be going solo so to speak! Thats why I thought I would start this diary as I have been inspired by others who have done the same, and feel the support that the forum offers will be really valuable and beneficial.

I am going to weigh in tomorrow and see exactly what I am facing :busted: and then will set my first target (hopefully with all your help). I am in it for the long haul - my training will take three years so thats what I am giving myself to reach my ultimate target - 13 stones (lucky for some!)

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to getting to know everyone again and meeting new people x

And i'm off!!

I weighed in this morning, having avoided the scales for the past six months knowing my weight was blooming as my clothes got tighter and the pains got worse. It wasn't a shock what faced me, but I still had a little cry thinking how could I have been so stupid.

But now I am resolved. I have the information I need in front of me, and I'm going to sit down with my family and plan our meals for the week, and do a shopping order. Luckily I have got something in today so that I can stay on plan - chicken, garlic philly, bacon and vegetables.

I've already faced my first challenge - not having my usual crunchy nuts in a morning! I went for weetabix and some banana so yay me!!

I'm thinking of spitting up my targets as at the moment the amount of weight I need to lose seems and feels impossible. I am going to work out my 10% loss and see how that feels. I'm also going to take my picture and start a visual record of my journey. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to show it on here!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this and my previous ramblings x

ho hum.

not having a good week at all. really stressed with lots of things and of course all good intentions have gone out the window and i'm about to tuck into a takeaway.

really going to try harder, i just need to have a sit down and give myself a reality check

Ok, one week down, one rubbish crap week, but i did more exercise and managed a small loss.

Going to really really sort things out and hope for a better result next time.

gosh! I forgot I started this thread...well in 6 months I have lost weight, not quite as consistent or as much as I would have hoped, but at least it has not gone the other way. Will try and keep this diary up as a further commitment to myself, if anyone wants to chip in at any point feel free!
