Yeah, I need to work on the strength of my arms...they're pathetic. At the moment I keep skipping from one cardio machine to another, I get pretty bored so need a change of scenery.

Pretty dresses are definitely one of my main reasons for losing weight.

I hate wearing clothes to cover every inch of my body when the sun is scorching.

I can’t wait to dance around in a cute, pretty, floral dress and feel confident.

New Purchases...

New Purchases...

Today I bought myself a new pair of scales but I seemt o be having trouble with them.

I keep resetting them when I move them so that they can readjust however, I still weigh 222lb in the kitchen and 202lb in the bathroom.

I mean, I don’t know about anyone else but I prefer to weigh myself in the bathroom. I don’t know which one is right (if any!).

I want to know what scales other people use and if they have any issues?

Oh, I joined the gym today :)

Searching for inspiring blogs...

It makes me sad how many girls want to be underweight, are pro-ana and saying "I need to be skinny for my boyfriend."

NO.

JUST...NO!

I'm betting my life savings (not too much) on most of these girls being 13-18.

It's terrifying.

So here I am...

I'm at that point in my life again where I need inspiration. I went to the Drs and they weighed me in a routine check up.I weigh 231lb.

I mean, I know that I gained weight and have got comfortable in myself with Oliver but I didn't expect to have put on a whole 14lb. So here's the deal...

I set to lose 70lb in a year. Right now, the thought is killing me but, I need to do this.

I aim on travelling in 3 years time and I know that I'll be too unfit to do most things that I want to do. I aim on losing a healthy 6lb a month. I once lost 40-50lb in 3 months and it was unhealthy, I put it straight back on and MORE when I stopped dieting.

On this blog I will post pictures, photographs, quotes and words of wisdom for when I'm feeling weak. It will hopefully give some encouragement and inspiration to other dieters out there.

So here goes...
