So here it is post #1 on my journey

I will not be giving out this address to anyone till I have my starting weight - I need to get somewhere that has some heavy duty scales - I am guessing my weight is about 145kg - last time I was weighed I was 9 months pregnant with my beautiful daughter Lexi and I was 150kg (yes I know OMG!!!!) and she was 4.290kg so I guess with the placenta and fluid etc I lost at least 5kg instantly - so now 7 months on I have decided I don't want to die before she has finished primary school! so a health kick it is! I started Monday this week with the food side of things I have cut out crap food - I have had headaches ever since - I think it is the lack of sugar - I did not realise just how much junk I eat!!!I am MAJORLY craving the junk!! I am being very strong willed though . My next step will be joining the gym - I can hear you all saying now - why go the gym when you can just walk - I lose motivation with walking really easily - in the past I have been very successful at the gym so that is my plan of attack this time . I am going to call our medical insurance company also to find out if our policy covers a dietitian .Now is the time for me to do this - I WILL lose the weight . So I guess I should outline my goals my long term goal is to get under 100kg - still very over weight but I will be happy if I can get under 100kg anything after that will be a bonus! my first goal is to lose 5kg in the first month which going from past weight loss attempts I am pretty confident this will be easily attained it is usually after the first 10 -15kg is gone that things start becoming difficult so after the first month I will be setting realistic goals such as a couple of KG a month. I will get some photos of me in my swimming togs - yes graphic for you all I know but it will be the best way to easily see progress.So what do ya recon - can I be 99kg or less by this time next year? that is pretty much a kg a week . I am in the right frame of mind to do this and I feel very positive .I look forward to sharing my journey with you all as I go from flab to fab!
