Today I got a big shock. Decided to weight myself again and the scale showed 207.2 lbs. That's 2.2 lbs more that I though I really was. I know the weigth can vary from one day to another and this is why we shouldn't weight ourselves everyday so I wanted to make sure. I'm not really surprised after all but am really disapointed. There's no point asking myself why did I stop in the first place. I did, already happened and the only way to go now is forward. I managed to stick to my meal plan yesterday so I am optimistic. It was quite hard. I didn't exercise though. Had some tidying up to do around the house and when the kids arrived from school I wanted to spend time with them. By the time I put them to bed was feeling a bit too tired to do any exercise.
Today I will exercise in the morning.

Weight loss update
So today another weight and measurement day. I have now lost 25.4 lbs. When I started, I expected to lose more each week but the truth is that I haven't exercised much for the last few weeks. My diet is still going ok, yesterday I had my first "sweet" since I've started. It felt really good to reward myself with a treat. I am really getting used to not eating junk, to eat much smaller portions and not skipping breakfast. These are the inches I have lost till now:
Bust: 1.53"
Waist: 1.13"
Hips: 2.37"
Tights: 1.13"
Calves: 0.78"
Bust: 1.53"
Waist: 1.13"
Hips: 2.37"
Tights: 1.13"
Calves: 0.78"

Quick update
So today was weighting day again. I've only lost 2.2 lbs these two weeks but I am not surprised. As I said the other day, I haven't exercised so I was expecting these results.
I've been finding it really hard. Have loads and loads of stuff to study, work to do, kids to look after, house to clean ... god I feel tired already :). It's said that if you really want, you allways find time to exercise. It is probably true but honestly, when you have so many important things to do, things which can't wait a day or two, can you really give priority to exercising? If I have 30 minutes free during an entire day, I just don't feel like spending them exercising. I wish days were longer!...

Diet going well but ... exercise?!
Ok, so my diet is still going very well. I'm very pleased that I still resist chocolate and cakes (haven't had any for two months)or the carbs after 4pm but in the past two weeks I haven't exercised at all! I know it's shocking, I mean, I do all the stuff such as walking to college, clean the house, ironing, etc, but that's far from enough.
When I increased the duration and resistance of my exercises, It was hard but it made me feel a lot better. It was a big mistake to have stopped. I don't know why I did... but I've promised myself that tomorrow I will start the exercises again, no excuses. This time I will increase the frequency as well so I will have to exercise at least five times a week. I'm still losing weight because I'm dieting but I feel the need to burn more calories and I definitely need more energy.

Update on my weight loss
Today was another weight check day. I have to say that I am quite happy with the results. I've lost another 4.5 lbs so that's 16.6 lbs since I begun. I'm finally getting used to this diet, I find it a lot easier now not to eat carbs after 16:00. I always wondered how long I would managed without eating chocolate and cakes but guess what, I am and although I still feel like eating some now and then, I just don't, I feel a lot stronger now to say no when I need to.
I am also exercising more. I've increased the duration and resistance of the exercises and I really feel it working. I really makes a big difference. If you get your heart pumping while exercising, you will know you're doing it right.
Untill now I have lost 16.6 lbs and:
Waist - 0.74"
Hips - 1.19"
Tighs - 1.13"
Calves - 0.78"
I have to say I am quite happy. I am not expecting to lose pounds or inches too quickly so I am very pleased with these results, after all it has been 6 weeks so not bad at all uh? :)

Fighting for a new me
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog.
Five weeks ago I decided that it was time to change my lifestyle. I have always been a bit overweight but since I had my first child, 6 years ago, I put on a lot of weight and never managed to lose. I have tried different diets that always made me lose 4 or 5lbs rapidly but after 2 or 3 weeks I would gain it back and in double. It was always a struggle to keep up with any diet and exercise plan so, what was I doing wrong? A lot.
The idea of creating a blog where I could share my experience and valuable information has been with me since I decided to start a diet but because my diets never worked before I wanted to make sure this time I knew what I was doing. I've been doing a lot of research, plenty of browsing and now understand where I went wrong and what changes needed to be done.
I've started on the 1st of February this year. I weighted 230.4lbs and on the 21st, three weeks later, I weighted 219.4lbs. I have lost exactly 11lbs and am starting to feel a lot better, healthier, lighter and even my mood is better. It is a great achievement for me, for the first time in my life, to feel better and truly believe that this time I'm gonna do it till the end.
In this page I will write about the progress I am making, ideas and feelings. Check the other pages for topics related to weight loss such as diets, fitness (including exercises to work specific body parts), tables of calories found in different foods and recipes that are tasty, healthy and low calorie.
I hope the information will help you on your journey to transform yourself the same way it is helping me and that you share your thoughts, or any questions you might have.
