If you have stumbled upon this blog and are wondering what I'm going to do with it, basically it's going to be a log of my weightloss journey.
I know, enthralling. ;-)
But if you stick with me, I hope to eventually get the hang of blogging, writing for the web, and losing some pounds along the way! (and I don't mean money. Oh, British humour.)
Here's a pic of me from the office Christmas party 2011, with my friend Lianne:
Current stats:
Height: 5ft6in
Weight: 214lbs
SizeUK: 18 (16 on a VERY good day)
Target stats:
Weight: 140lbs
SizeUK: 10
Anything else is a bonus, I'll see when I get there.
I have recently acquired a Heart Rate Monitor to track calories, and it is insane how many calories I burn just by *existing*. I've been eating 2/3rds of what I burn a day without realising it and may even be eating too little. It's over what a normal person would eat so I'm not starving myself, but, I can't help but wonder if even with the high number of calories I consume daily I might still be sending my body into a kind of faux-starvation mode.
It's an interesting theory... we'll see how this pans out.
