Hi everyone,
I'm new to forums but i wanted a record of my weight loss and i think this is a good place to start. I've had a look around the website and it looks like there is a bit of variation in measurements so ill put up both pounds and kilos
A little about me? My name is Kate, I'm 21 years old, 180cm tall (about 5'11) I live in South Australia, study full time, have two casual jobs (only work 3 times a week) have a boyfriend of 7 months, love life but hate my weight... and the highest number i've ever seen on my scales is about 134.9kg (297 pounds).
I played competitive basketball for about 6 years, broke my ankle, took 2 years off, put on about 15kg (33lbs), then went back to social basketball for a season and even though we won the championship, i rolled my ankle twice that season and was just about to move out of home. Realising that i couldnt afford to take a week off of work due to injured ankles any more and with my physiotherapist telling me no amount of tape or braces will protect, i finally quit.
Since then i've put on another 25kg(55lbs) and i've finally decided enough is enough. I told my mum how badly i want to lose the weight and (knowing that being a full time student living out of home leaves me pretty broke) she has offered me $20 for every kilo i lose, with the catch that if i put it back on i have to give it back to her. We have weekly weigh-ins but monthly pay-days.
Telling my mum and my boyfriend about my targets has been great. I have both incentive and support. And once I let down that barrier of embarrassment about admitting my initial weight to people I know and love, it's amazing how much of an impact their support has (and it's nice to have someone to brag to when you have success!!)
OK so thats about enough for now i think. I know it's a bit rough, but hopefully i'll fill in the gaps over the next few months.
In summary:
Starting weight: 134.9kg (297lbs)
Current weight: 131kg (288lbs)
First target weight: 100kg (220lbs)
Happy to hear any advice/suggestions/motivational stories. Keen to make friends, i promise i dont bite
Will post photos up once i black my face out of them.
Cheers,
Kate
