It all begins here-Starting Weight

So...today is the first day on the journey of my challenge to lose weight. I'm being joined and supported by my lovely bf who is also wanting to lose weight and get healthier. 


I won't post his weight (haven't asked him about whether he wants in on the blog yet) but I will post mine!


Ok...here goes...


WEIGHT: 17stone 11lbs


BMI: 39.7


My healthy ideal weight is 10-11st so I have a long long weight to go. At my heaviest I was a massive 21st so have managed to shed a few stone however i got lax and let it slip somewhat.


I'm tryig to eat healthier (no more takeaways or ready meals!), snack less (no more crisps...instead i'm having fruit), and have quashed my pespsi max addiction (drinking water and squash instead). I'm also trying to get more exercise by having one (maybe two) walks a day and I plan to start swimming a few times a week too. I'm very lucky in that my bf is fully supportive of me and my goals and is trying to get healthier too. I'm there for him and he's there for me. :) Though I have to admit this has kind of brought out my competitive side too! 


Anyway, the journey begins now. Wish us luck! Weigh in will be next week.
