well hello boys and girls, welcome to my life,
i'm caroline, i've just turned thirty, i'm single, live alone (unless you count the hamster) and i'm overweight, i'm being quite serious here, i'm not one of those girls that isn't fat, but thinks she is, i'm currently 17 stone 1 pound, which is the heaviest i've ever been.
now i used to be thin, throughout high school i was underweight at 7 stone, i wasn't super active, i did p.e like every other kid, i could eat what i wanted and not put on a pound. my eating probably caught up with me at about 17, i became a couch potato and like all the other kids, discovered beer!
i've tried diets before, none have worked. so in my thirtieth year, i made a promise to myself, to join my local gym, lose some weight, and hopefully find myself a guy, and be a bit happier. now, money has always been tight, but i joined the local gym at the start of the month, i've had my induction sessions at the gym and am booked in to try a couple of cardio-kickboxing classes.
not only am i going to the gym, but before work twice a week i've been swimming, thats right, i've been in the pool at 6:30 in the morning and i normall get out about 7:45 to get ready for work.. i really enjoy swimming, i always have, when i was 14 i was offered a place in the towns swimming club, but boys got in the way and i never joined, its probably one thing i regret from my childhood.
anyway, my friends and family have been asking how the weightloss has been going, so to keep a track of things, i have set up this blog, now i'm not gonna become completly calorie obsessed, or do anything stupid like start starving myself, but i am going to post updates of my weight, bmi (body mass index) my gym schedule and general feelings for the whole world to read.
drop me a message and give me feedback, good or bad, god knows that i need it!
caroline
