Fat Girl Slim

I'm 23, 5"3 and 215 pounds. Today (16/06/14) I decided to change this. I have decided to keep a blog of my efforts to keep me motivated and seek inspiration.

I don’t do it often but yoga first thing in the morning is amazing. There’s something about practicing while I am still in that drunken haze of sleep that is absolutely beautiful - like I’m living in my dream and reality.

Wow! Followers!?

Massive thank you to everyone who followed me. My efforts have taken quite the nose dive… my life has been a little out of control lately. Too afraid to get on the scales! Would absolutely love some tips on how to get back on the horse.

I really don't want to give up.

Day 4; 212 pounds

First rest day of my 30 day challenges, thank goodness. Have lost 3 pounds so far and feel a huge difference in my energy levels already. My sweat smells like chicken noodle soup... anyone else experienced this at all?

Enjoyed a lovely mile and a half walk and now babysitting two energetic little boys (and actually feeling like I am not too tired to do so!)

Reblog if you're a fitblr who is beginning or still on your journey!

Almost everyone I follow is in recovery or has reached most of their goals. While I love following them, it’s hard for me to relate to them and I want to follow more people in my position! I will follow as many of you as I can!

Day 2; 213 pounds

Last night I went out for my sister's birthday. I opted for salmon and mashed potatoes and asked for the sauce on the side (didn't take it). Had 3 vodkas and diet coke and one small glass of red wine. Slept very well and woke up feeling energised this morning. Have completed 20 sit-ups, 8 crunches, 8 leg-raises, 12s plank, 8 push-ups, 8-dips, 15 bicep curls, 15s punches, 8 lateral lunges, 15 scissors, 8 fire hydrants, 8 pile squat pulses and 55 squats. Feel like a superhero (with very sore thighs)! I'm going to go a lovely 2 mile walk then make myself a chicken and avocado salad for lunch.

Never thought I'd be enjoying this!

Starting Point; 215 pounds

Hello and welcome to my first post. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. I have tried countless times to get it under control and failed. However, at just 50 years old my slim mother has been diagnosed with heart disease. Determined not to die young, I must make this change and I must make it now. No more cigarettes, no more binging and much more exercise!

So today I have started with a cup of tea and an apple. As I am at my boyfriends house there is nothing else healthy to eat! I have started a 30 day Ab Challenge, Thigh Challenge, Arm Challenge and Squat challenge and I am going to take a walk around the park.

Below is how I currently look in my underwear. My before picture. The last account of me being this size. Not a pretty sight. But I am sick of ignoring this, and this blog will be where I bare all (unfortunately quite literally).

So please, if you are starting a similar journey or are already on your way, follow me and I will follow back. I would love some advice and stories of everyones efforts to help me on my way.

Love, health and Happiness,

A xx
