Hello, its been quite awhile since I have posted here.
When I was here before I managed to get down to under 10st in weight and was very happy with my progress, during my exams I managed to keep to around 10st and even when I started my placement work for University all was going quite well.
Then disaster struck, to begin with my job chaged quite substantially from spending the summer chasing around after equipment and temporary staff to being far more desk bound. Not that im complaining, I love my job but its not helping my weight!
But the real problem came when a doctor swapped me from my old birth control pill (which had been working wonderfully for years) to a new one. My moods went round the twist, I was miserable and for someone who has never really suffered with PMT thats quite a big thing. Worst of all I was ravenously hungry all the time, I would eat breakfast as normal then by mid-morning I was feeling literally faint with hunger.
So the lbs started to pile on and I went up to about 10st 7lbs which was when alarm bells started ringing. I went to another doctor for a 2nd opinion and was told I could go back to my old pill immidietly (hooray!) but I still haven't had a pill free week in almost 3 months, until now. (my old pill lets me have a pill free week in between cycles, I think it makes all the differance for me)
So with little/no relief yet from changing back to my old pill and Christmas around the corner I decided to let things lie for awhile. Then yesterday in the sales I bought a scale that calculates your BMI and body fat % etc, I practically fell off them when I saw:
weight: 153lbs
BMI:24
BF%: 28.5
I also made some measurements of myself:
waist: 29 1/2"
hips: 40"
back 32"
I know im not over weight, but I will be soon if this continues and im not happy either, I want my old body back
I would like to get to a weight of 128lbs with a BMI of 20 and a BF% lower then 25. but 1st of all, Id like to get back below 10st 7lbs. Its getting quite depressing now that none of my clothes fit me I did buy some new clothes in the sales but bought them in my normal size (I hope the tightness of my clothes will be some incentive to me).
It would be nice to be down around 10st at least by February, Id love to see some results faster then that but I dont want to be suckered into some faddy diet....
Well I guess Ive rattled on enough for now, will you guys have me back?
