Starting in August 2012 I've set my self a goal of losing a total of 4 stone (56lbs) by summer 2013 - I fell off the wagon and didn't make it :-(
Early 2014 I re-committed to getting to 150 lbs/10 and 1/2 stone/UK size 12 THIS YEAR!
So far I lost 28lbs (2 stone) on Atkins, got derailed and put back on 15lbs, now from 1st July I plan to get back on track.
I've been "dieting" on and off for years but I'm determined that this is my last time...in fact it's not a diet, it's about developing a healthier way of life!
My eating plan is going to be a variation on Atkins. I did really well with Atkins induction earlier in the year but then a few events and a holiday came up and I "took a break"...I've found it hard to get into it since then. I now plan to try and stick to eating low carb and eating "clean" (avoiding refined carbs and processed foods).
Tools I'm using to support my weight loss:

Tools I'm using to support my weight loss:
- A commitment to weigh in with a friend who is holding me accountable - weigh in on 1st and 15th each month, plus progress pics with the weigh in on the 1st (I'll be doing blog posts on these weigh ins)
- Blogilates workout videos - I love this site, Cassey Ho is really upbeat and inspirational in her videos; check them out at www.blogilates.com and on the YouTube channel
- Myfitnesspal.com to track food and exercise (it's easy to look items up from a wide range of brands and activities)
- Fitbit for overall tracking, including
- web and Android app
- Fitbit One tracker to track daily steps, activity level and sleep (see their website to find out more about the Fitbit trackers - they have a few options available and I'm hoping to get the FItbit Flex soon)
- Aria scale (measures weight and body fat % - wirelessly uploads to the Fitbit website)
Aw u go girl!!
