So....it begins again.

I have signed up again for my biggest loser account, which helps me plan and record my food and exercise choices and helps me monitor my calorie in to calorie out equation. It is a very very good tool and has helped me lose weight before after the birth of my baby.

A friend of mine has teamed up with me, and we are having a race to see who can lose 5 kilos first, and the loser has to pay for the winners hair to be done......this, I think is the biggest motivating factor for me! She is an awesome friend, and would do anything for me, so we are going to do this together.

My other weight loss support buddy is currently on her honeymoon in England, but she lives right round the corner, so we will be helping each other when she gets back.

AND my sister is getting married this year in November, and so we will be having a race to see who can lose weight as well.

With all this support, how can I possibly go wrong....well, we will see!!!!!

Healthy thoughts! xx

Fallen off the bandwagon? Hell yes.

Well, fallen off the bandwagon is the understatement of the year.

Actually, my doctor asked me to stop losing weight until we sorted out some other medical issues (like why I can't stop gaining weight...?) and as a result, I am now the biggest I have ever been in my life.

Fucking, fucking, fucking unfair.

And the results? I am slightly low in iron, and apart from that I am as healthy as anything. No explanation for my sudden weight gain, but since October, I have gained seven kilos.

So, I am back to it, but now I have even more weight to lose. So, I am starting today....
I weigh 79.7 kilos as of this morning, and I am doing the Xndo programme, two milkshakes a day until I reach my goal weight, exercise lightly, and generally try to eat tiny portions.

My doctor has sent me to a nutritionist, but the waiting list is huge, so I have an appointment later this month. Apart from that, the next option is lap band, or stopping eating altogether?
