Starting out

Just finished watching the final of the US Biggest Loser show, and although I didn’t get in to the Aussie version I’m still going to get there, even if I do have to do it on my own. They mentioned the BiggestLoserClub.com, so I’ve signed up and fully intend to keep track of it all as I go through these journals. The challenge I’m currently facing is trying to get over a sugar addiction with the Christmas season in full swing. Doesn’t help that my work is causing havoc with my eyes at the moment with a smaller monitor that flickers, so I’m spending a lot of time having to rest them – I hope to turn that into a lot more leisure time spent doing activity instead of the reading, internet & tv I used to do – except for this site, of course!

I’ve always been large, my father’s entire family are obese and I got put on my first diet at age 7, but weight seemed to go on more and more regardless – at one stage I spent 3 years eating at most 2 meals a day, and STILL put on weight. Over the past few years I’ve been trying to rebuild a metabolism that vaguely resembles normal, but I didn’t realise that my weight had crept up from the 127 or so it’s hovered at for 3 years to over 130kg now – with health impacts I’ve got to get that back down – whatever it takes. Suzy’s gorgeous new figure is an inspiration right now, but hopefully I’ll develop a few more sources as I go along – including my OWN before and after photos!!! It would be really cool if down the track I could get tickets to the final, and know that I look somewhere close to as good as the contestants on stage…
