My Weight Loss Goals!

 I'm actually not overweight anymore but I'm still a little bit too chubby to be comfortable. Lets get things straight, as much as I would love to be as skinny as Hayley Williams (who my boyfriend and I happened to be drooling over when she was on Kerrang the other day) it's just not me and would not suit my body shape! I'd look like skeletor if I got too thin.
 My mum is a great inspiration for losing weight. She is three inches shorter than me (she's around five foot) and she was up at 13stone for the past few years - really not healthy. She's now down to roughly nine stone. And while I admire her willpower (and hopefully I can channel that) she lost the weight due to stress as her partner was in Afghanistan and was barely eating. I hope to reduce my portion sizes but there's no way I could starve myself! I just love my grub too much!
 A couple of years ago I was 11st 6lbs, not good for my small height of 5' 3". When I first started seeing my man I must have been about 9 and a half stone, but that's what happiness does to you!
 I've now got my weight down to about 10st 5lb but it's stuck there. I think with a little bit of determination and hard work I can get down to my target weight of 9 and a half stone again! Special K website says if I follow their diet I can do this in time for going back to uni this September! We shall see!

 So the main rules I am going to stick by will be

  •  Drink 64 ounces of water each day (thats the recommended 8 glasses a day y'all!)
  • Make sure I'm eating some fruit as snacks
  • Do a weigh in once a week - on Sunday mornings - NOT everyday like I usually do on diets
  • Cut down on portion sizes
  • Avoid high fat foods - no crisps and chocolate! Makes you spotty, and no one wants that when you aren't a teenager anymore!
  • Exercise whether you like it or not! Mix stuff up a bit if you get bored!
  • NO. IRN. BRU. No more, caffeine is OUT!


It's only a stone - that's not too much to ask? :)
