An introduction to me....

Yet another new blog for me, but this one is public and painfully honest!!  So here it is the truth, 7 months ago, I rushed to lose 2 stone so I would look slim on my holiday photos and at my graduation party and it worked.  I did lose 2 stone but i lost it so quickly that putting it back on was too easy.  I weighed myself this morning and I have put a full stone of that weight back on in 6 weeks...6 WEEKS!!!  However, those were 6 weeks of burgers, chips, crisps, chocolate, jerky and full fat coke so it's not surprising really!

Prior to the holiday and my graduation, I did various different diets in order to get to my ideal weight, this included but was not limited to:

Clean 9 Detox
Low Carb, High Protein
Juice Fasting
Herbalife
Clean Eating

I did find that by changing up my diet regularly I lost more weight each week, I think by shocking my system every week.  However, this system meant that keeping the weight off was nearly impossible, as soon as I went on holiday and ate what I want I started to blow up like a balloon!!

So to give you an insight into my acheviements (and eventual failure!) so far...

Before (January 2014)



After (July 2014)




You might be able to tell better from joined photos:

So I was pretty pleased with myself.  However, between July 2014 and now (August 2014) this is where I am at:

STATS:
Weight: 11st 12lb
Bust: 95cm
Waist: 83cm
Hips: 102cm
R Thigh: 63cm
R Arm: 32cm

So this is my blog to follow my journey to getting back to the weight I was and beyond!  I will be posting my exercise routines as well as the foods I eating and junk food failures (there will be a few of these!).

To start this programme I am doing the Focus T25 (from the makers of Insanity) with my cousin Amy, she is doing it from her home in Devon, while I am doing it here in Birmingham but the powers of technology we are very much in contact through the programme (mostly whatsapp!).

Anyone, else starting a new programme now the summer is almost finished?
