Another Newbie!
 

Hi everyone,

I'm another newbie on a weight loss mission - this time last year I weighed a gross 11st 6lbs (162lbs) and at a height of 5'1" it did not look good!

Well, I ditched the junk food and started a healthy eating lifestyle and 50 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. I am currently 10st 4lbs and still eating healthily. BUT I have hit a rather stubborn plataeu and been my current weight for over 3 months now and it's really getting to me!!

Well, I decided to lower my calorie and carbohydrate intake at the beginning of this week and also upping my exercise to 90 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I will let you all know how I get on!

Just thought I would introduce myself and my situation - hope to chat to some of you soon!

Abby :)

:wel3fc: ABBY . . . you've already made some great progress and hopefully finding this site will help you make some more . . . :hug:

:welcome3:

Welcome (though I'm new too). Your weight stats are pretty similar to mine.
Good luck :cheer2::cheer3:

Welcome and Good Luck!

Thanks for all the welcome messages! I have a great update to make!!

My mum works at the doctor's surgery where I live, well she let me weigh myself on the doctors scales and I am actually 9st 12lbs!!! My scales have been lying to me all this time and there is no way I'm going to believe my 3 year old scales instead of the docs!! I am so pleased with myself, it just gives me more of an incentive to keep this diet up!

I'm planning on weighing myself on the docs scales every wednesday to keep correct progress!

Good luck to everyone else too!!!
