Just turned 40, need to smarten myself up!

[LauraNorder]

I am a SAHM with a couple of stone to loose. I carry my extra weight around my stomach. I am trying to loose some weight and once I have I have a wardrobe full of lovely clothes. I am quite under confident due to this and as a result I tend to hide my self in comfy clothes, jeans, baggy jumper, boot/birkies but I would like to smarten myself up.....but I need help

Maybe start by beginning a keep fit programme, whether its the gym , swim pool, or just power walking, cycling etc.... AND sticking to it.
Then in bout 6 weeks start buying the odd new item of clothing. Buy what you thinks really suits you , not what is top fashion item.
Be strong, be disciplined and resist those high calorie foods.

Good luck. x

start with sensible eating - cut down on the junk and watch portion sizes. Drink more water / green tea.
Move more - go for a swim, a brisk walk, an exercise class
Start having a look round the shops and see what you like and, as Skifit says, what suits
A nice trench coat is always a good start. M&S Autograph have a nice one in at the moment.
