Long time reader, first time poster.

Well they say there is a first time for everything, so here is my very first blog. I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while, and I think that now is the time.
This is going to mainly be an avenue for me to feel like I am accountable to something/someone. You see...I am fat. There I said it. Now I can get on with doing something about it. I am hoping that by putting my goals out here in cyberspace, I will be able to stay on track more than if I just tell myself 'I want to lose weight'.

So here is my goal. I am going to lose 10kgs by December 31st. That is 8.5 months. That is give or take 1.1kg a month. That seems reasonable to me. I have more to lose than that, but that is may starting point. Mountains into molehills!

In order to achieve my goal I am going to do these things to start with.

• I am going to eat 5 times a day: 3 well portioned meals and 2 healthy snacks
• I am going to drink 2 litres of water
• I am going to go for a good walk everyday (or at least every second day)

So here is my start picture...
This is not the best picture but it has made me want to shift that weight. I am starting at a weight of 110.0kg

I know I can do this. I have done it in the past and having babies is not an excuse for being fat and not looking after myself. I am ditching my all or nothing mentality. I will do the best I can in my current stage of life which can be very busy caring for my babies.

I will weigh in weekly.

I would love your encouragement :)
