Now I am not a weight loss type of person. I won't ever be 'dieting' and (although people find this hard to believe) I am happy with my body.
However I had begun to think that it was a bit foolhardy to continue at the weight I was. I have no risk factos for diabetes or high blodd pressure exept for the weight and now in my late thirties I started to think I should be aware of this.
In August before I went on holiday I weighed 117.8 KG. After two weeks away from work and the 10am comfort chocolate and coke PLUS swimming every day in pool or lovely warm sea I came back to work to find I'd lost weight and was now around 116.4KG. So that inspired me a bit.
I've changed one big thing - no more 10am chocolate and coke. I am also never now being tempted by a carb fest at lunch. Toasted sandwich is as far as I go. I've also started length swimming one morning before work.
That's it. That's all I've done.
My weight yesterday - 113.8KG. That's just about 1/2 a stone lost in 2 months and I reckon I can keep that up. My personal target is 100KG which would put me out of the terrifying BMI range in to the only a bit scary one. We'll see how I go but so far I'm optimistic. I don't want to lose masses. I don't want to diet or be miserable. I just want to make a couple of changes and lose a bit of weight and so far it's working.
Just thought this might be of interest :)
