Personal Trainer

As part of my weight loss regime, I'm thinking of getting a personal trainer. I've wanted one for a while but never got round to it. They do them at my gym. I think it's about £25-30 an hour so I would probably do it once a month unil I am closer to my target weight and then amp it up to once every two weeks.
I really want to lose weight first but gradually tone up. I'll a call tomorrow and find out some details.
By the way, I didn't take my measurements down. I keep forgetting! I have to do it first thing in the morning so that it would tie up with my weight. On a good note though, I bought a pair of jeams in size 16 and they keep falling down! Hopefully I'll notice more differences soon!

So close, dammit... so close....!

I'm really annoyed now. I got into the stupid habit of basically weighing myself everytime I went to the toilet or went past the bathroom! The result being that I saw myself at 14st 13lbs (my first goal) but when I weighed myself this morning for my official weigh-in, I was 15st exactly. Now to be perfectly honest, that is great, but I still wish that I got to that target. I lost another pound though so at least i'm getting there. Slowly but surely. I've only been on this diet for 11 days rather than the 14 that I should have been so in the next 3 days, I probably could get down to that. I have, however told myself that I will not weigh myself until next week Thursday!

Well... Here goes!


I probably should have started this last week but never mind!
My name is Cat and I am on a journey to lose weight. Only 3 years ago I was a lot slimmer - probably about a size 10 but still very curvy. I remember that I was always a heavy person anyway but now I have shot up to just over 16 stone. Basically I was around 224 pounds last year.
I decided to do Slimming World last year November and I got down to 211 pounds. I basically lost 13lbs which is great because everyone was saying that I should just wait until after Christmas. After Christmas, I put on 2lbs and I really did eat!!! I was very please with that. I started back on Slimming World last week.
I decided to do it online but because I paid for it on the Thursday before I started, my weight in is on a Thursday. I started last week Monday so was pleasantly suprised when I lost 2lbs by Thursday! I've really been sticking to the diet and I have really been craving anything which is good.
My target is 11stones which will just get me into my recommeded BMI. I'll see if I am then happy with the weight. According to the graph online, I should get to my target by July. My actual target is September as I go to Florida at the beginning of the month. My current weight is 15st 1lb. I am 2lbs away from one of my mini goals which is for me to get under 15stone. My goal after that would be another 10lbs away as I would like to get under 200lbs.
I'll try to keep you updated as my journey continues.
Here's a picture where I think you can really see my weight.
