I will be the guinea pig!!!

Guinea pig tester

yep that's right, I have decided to take the advice of all these gurus and mentors and experts...

Time to lose weight and tone up

You see I am one flabby and overweight 40 something mum. I have tried all sorts of diets, some worked and some failed... 

I think that makes me a sorta expert don't it lol....

weight

lets just say my weight has tipped the 12 stone (168) mark, my bmi is just over 30 and I am heading towards menopause like an out of control train...

Exercise

Lets say my excuse was always me being allergic to exercise... well now 20 years on and a lot of stubborn belly fat, a big bum and tree trunks masquerading as legs... I have now learnt I REALLY DO HAVE TO EXERCISE...

conclusion

well I have been exercising and eating "normal portion sizes" for 5 weeks now... I started weighing myself weekly 2 weeks ago...

I can feel the muscles developing under my flab...

I have been told a difference can be seen...

I am feeling better in myself for exercising...

I have not gained any weight at all during the last 2 weeks...

I have not lost any weight either, but, in my book that is no bad thing as muscle weighs more than fat, so I must be doing something right...

I have taken some pictures of what I look like and will be putting them on here during the course of the next few days, I will update them monthly, and then we can all decide if my exercise and diet regimes are working....

feel free to join me and post comments and how you are doing too...
