The time is now, ready steady go.....

I have had a lovely glass of wine and a nice slab of Christmas cake as a fond farewell to my piggy ways.

I had a look at the NHS BMI calculator and I am official over weight, so it seriously is time to start shifting the pounds. I don't know quite how things have got to this level, but now is time to put a stop to it.

I always said that I would never go over 10 stone, then after a few babies this turned to 11, and then to 12. Last time I weighed I was about 12 and a half, but its time for the official weigh in first thing in the morning, so that will be the weight that I will work from.

Assuming I am 12 and a half and I need to lose 3 stone, I have looked up the best weight lose per week ( to keep it off). The guidance is between 1 to 2 lb a week, so losing 42 lb should take between 21 and 42 weeks. I wonder what progress I will have made by 4th June and by 5th October.

Fingers crossed, lets hope by those date that at least some progress has been made. Wish me luck
