Okay well first a little about myself....
I am 19 years young. Living in England and i am a student. I have made this because my goal is to lose weight. Quite simply it is a decision i have been putting off for a great deal of time with lame excuses such as "Oh i can go for a run tomorrow." Or "One chocolate bar won't hurt. Well i am sick of it. I am sick of being paranoid about my weight and i need to change it.
I have always been a bit chunky. I have never been slim. This is because when i was younger i had just as unhealthy food as i do now except i was always chasing a football, running around with friends and just genuinely following my own shadow.
However that changed. I gained weight as soon as i started drinking and smoking. And suddenly POW! Out of nowhere i realize just how bad it has gotten. While i need to work on the quiting smoking i have cut down drinking to once every one or two weeks which i think will work for my plans. Here is my current situation:
I am about 5 foot 9" and weigh 200 pounds. And have a 28.4 BMI.
I am not great at setting targets however i will try and set reasonable targets and hit them as i have seen they work extremely well rather than just having one goal in sight.
However. This is going to be quite difficult as we know the Christmas season is upon us and that means plenty of nasty temptation.
So my first goal is to be 189 pounds by January 11th
If i can do this i know i can push myself to my final weight (I want to be 130-140ish)
I just want to say you guys have been an inspiration. I have read so many diary's the last few days and find it amazing how well you guys have done. I have already signed myself up to the gym and am getting some nice running shoes and clothes for tomorrow so i can get straight to business. =]
