hi all

its been 3 weeks since i started and ive lost 7kg! isnt that amazing!! and honestly i havent over worked it or under eaten. ive had breakfasts of a glass of fresh orange juice and multi grain toast with squashed banana on it, lunch has been salads with either grilled/roast chicken or tuna or sometimes just salad on its own. dinner has been stir frys, steamed vegies and chicken or fish, vegie soups which im loving coz its damn cold now in aust so the warm soup is a real comfort. and exercising 2 sometimes 3 hours a day which has been very easy to do coz im not working at the moment. i just put on some music and lose myself in the time.

my skin is looking and feeling really good and i feel great inside more energy and lighter and more clear headed. i tell ya something its true that water is ya best friend when losing weight!! its been a life saver for those moments when i think im hungry, i just have a glass of water wait half an hour and if im still feeling hungry i think about letting myself have a healthy snack…..usually an apple or some cut up carrot. but seriously water is the key! i drink about 8 glasses a day and sure to begin with u do go to the toilet more but its flushing out all the rubbish in your body so its good. i would say dont drink after 8pm otherwise u will be up all night going to the toilet lol i learned that the hard way!

so fingers crossed i make the 10kg mark soon!

hope your all doing well with your weight loss and keeping motivated and positive

so i started on monday and its now wednesday and already feel better, not slimmer or anything like that, im saving that moment of truth for next monday i mean just i dunno lighter or something, happier but i know im sure to have harder days than others. im just enjoying this happy feeling for now.

 the other good thing is that today i asked my ex who now lives in sydney if hes interested in coming to visit for the long weekend (Queens birthday 9th June) and instead of saying no or a maybe he said why dont u come here? massive rush for me since he hasnt asked me to his house in a loooong looong time even when we were together, because his best mate didnt like me. maybe hes already seeing that im not the gloomy depressive girl i used to be. BUT also not getting my hopes up with anything! just happy that were not arguing. its been a while since we have been able to be friends and not argue. i know he still has feelings for me and i do him so its hard not to argue sometimes.

i have been eating lots of fruit and vegies, going for early morning walks with my dog for maybe about an hour and thro out the day make up another 2 hours of exercise on my exercise bike mostly just coz im not working or studying it gives me something to do, its better than sitting around doing nothing all day.

 i would so love to go to sydney, its just over 3 weeks away! i would love to lose 15kg in that time. ive got alot to lose so it might be possible to lose at least 10kg but thats me going on the contestants on the biggest loser who work out roughly the same hours as i do and eat good healthy food like im doing. i dunno im aiming too high but it would make me so happy if in 3 weeks ive lost at least 7kg - little bit more realistic than 15kg haha not that the weight loss would make a difference in how my ex feels about me would just make me feel good. it would be a perfect begining to a holiday if anything hehe

 oh and the sun is actually out today brightly shining so the skys are actually looking brighter

OHH and a BIIG BIIG thank you to everyone who has welcomed me and been so supportive i appreciate it so much! and dont worry the only person im really doing this for is myself, i want to be happy and healthy! the added good stuff that comes my way is all just an extra. thanks everyone. good luck to you all

Date: Monday 12/5/08

Today I woke up and realised I am really unhappy the way I am.
I have always known im unhappy, that ive hated my body for a long long time but I guess I decided to listen to myself today.

Im a 23 year old from Australia, im single after a 4 year relationship that went sour coz I had no confidence. My boyfriend was gorgeous! he was athletic (one of the fastest in his track team) strong, good looking, great guy, lovely, sweet, funny everything you could ever ask for! but i ruined things by never having confidence in myself and not believing him when he told me i was beautiful ect. but this is not a sop story! this is me reclaiming my life and hopefully the love of my life again!

 This morning i was determind to make a change! Im so sick of not fitting into the clothes i like, i envy people who can run along the beach, enjoy summer without sweating a bucket load, and really my personality doesnt fit my body. Deep down im that girly girl u see playing around on the beach with the good looking guys, laughing, flirting having fun. Im the one in the clubs who the guys buy the drinks for. I know i have that personality there, it just doesnt surface that much coz of my weight.

after a good look in the mirror at my off putting naked body i decided i never ever ever want to see myself like this again! i jumped on the scales, i got the measuring tape out and my camera and then got to work at writing out a food and exercise plan, after all im not working at the moment i have nothing stopping me from going for an hour walk in the morning with the dog and broken up i plan on doing minimum 2 hours exercise every day.

so here we are! a determind girl revealing her life haha but keeping some secrecy….sorry but i wont be showing pix with my face in them.

 so here we go….
Height: 173cm
Weight: 110kg
Bust: 120cm
Waist: 110cm
Hips: 120cm
Thighs: 65cm
Clothing size: 20

After looking up the size charts for the shops i want to be able to buy clothes in i worked out where I want to be measurement wise.
A size 12 (but i already knew that haha)
size 12 measurements (for these shops) are as follows:

Bust: 92cm
Waist: 73cm
Hips: 98cm

and the weight would be roughly 75kg.

so included in this first ever blog is 2 photos i took to help show weight loss progress.

hope this hasnt been toooo boring and i totally welcome any comments, advice, anything! just be kind plz i know im fat! thats why im here!

cheers
