I want to look fab :) So I hope to lose a pound a week until then. Game on! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My fastbreak goals~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drink 8 8oz cups of water a day Track calories burned Write in a journal ~~Me and my weight~~ I have put on a stone since the age of 18. I lost all my previous teenage weight through joining Slimming World and mainly eating myself through 'Green Days'. As soon as school fn inished however, I went to University and the weight piled on. Since graduating I have been trying for a loooong time to lose this weight. It is hard to lose it when people keep telling me that I look 'fine' and are therefore not really supportive of my goal. I have been constantly yo-yo dieting since the age of 18 and I need to get buckled down, sorted out and back to 9 stone! I know myself that I'm not overweight but I am not comfortable with this extra baggage: I want to look 'amazing' not 'fine'. ~~How can I change myself?~~ Losing weight and maintaining involves a complete lifestyle change and all year I just haven't been in the right frame of mind for that but I'm determind to reach my goal by the end of December for a new me in 2008 :) Plan! If I can look at my social calender, I can spot where I might slip and plan for that. ~~My Nutrition~~ I cannot praise Slimming World enough for their diet plan. You eat what you want, how much you want, when you want. It is all based on healthy eating - a fab way to live I say! They have a website: www.bodyoptimise.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I'm a Portion Distortioner~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - lifetime member of the Clean Plate Club - continue to eat beyond the point where I'm not hungry anymore - don't feel I've eaten until I'm stuffed What can I do about it? - Use a smaller plate - Eat more slowly - Do something different with my friends rather than eating - Read articles on portion control ~~My exercise~~ I'm attempting aerobics exercise dvds at home for now, as I am quite simply scared of the gym hehe. +++++++++++++Quotes and inspirational Words++++++++++++++ 'Every decision, every action is one chip closer to a lifestyle masterpiece' 'Rather than playing “food police,” the SparkDiet concentrates on the principles of balance, moderation and consistency' 'Regularly remind yourself of what you need to do and why' 'Rome was not built in a day' 'Don't try and fit into a diet programme, let it fit into you' 'The best weight loss programme is the one that you feel comfortable with, can stick to and enjoy' 'Ignoring realities of your daily life just invites failure and frustration' 'The difference between hoping something will happen and making it happen is preparation'

My goal is to lose a stone to reach my goal weight of 9 stone. My other goal is to increase my fitness level, doing a mixture of aerobics, swimming, toning and weight training.

I am currently following the Slimming World diet and exercising and toning on alternate days.

My name is Alice :) I'm from the UK, age 22, 5'4 and currently working in London.

I am a kick ass rock chick who loves her heavy metal, horror movies and all things generally weird and unusual. I'm sweet as pie though and a real cutie at heart.
