Losing my first stone.

Hello everybody,

It's been a lovely week with plenty going on and lots of fine weather. I was a bit naughty so I wasn't sure that I would lose this week, but I did!

Have been doing my sit-ups except I forgot yesterday. Oops. My waist is now 38 inches (I lost half an inch this week) which is an improvement though still pretty flabby.

I've kept up my fitness regime and am enjoying it which is great. I have done a little video and there is also one of me and the family at the Hare Krishna temple yesterday. Hope you enjoy them.

Put weigh-in video on You Tube

I was having trouble formatting my weigh-in video for here so uploaded it to YouTube instead.

Week 1 weigh-in

Hi,

This morning was my weigh-in after my first week of dieting. I must admit to feeling a tad nervous as it hadn't occurred to me, until I stood on the Wii Fit board, that people would be looking at my weight losses each week.....not just that first time.

It would be a touch anti-climactic and somewhat embarrassing if I didn't lose anything. Thankfully I did & hope to put up vlog tomorrow as I'm feeling tired now, having spent a lovely day with the children at Richmond Park. I lost 4 lbs....yippee!!!

Somebody asked me about exercise which is a very valid point. I am planning on exercising but am breaking myself in gently. Up until September last I had been using the gym regularly but sprained my ankle & got out of the habit. Since then I've really only walked & swam. Plan to add some fitness videos & graduate to power walking over the next fortnight.

Congratulations to my sister-in-law in Illinois, USA, who has shed 70 lbs so far. It is really inspirational to see that it can be done.

Wishing you the best of health,

Kim.

My video debut .......

Roll out the red carpet! It took a while but is finally up. This is not going to be a proper post because, like yesterday, I'm going to be helping my friend to decorate her flat. I'll hopefully burn some calories in the process but it wont help much if I collapse with a beer after like I did yesterday.... oops.

I just wanted to let you know that that I've posted the video and will add it to the blog when I've reformatted it....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wfuwLoL7ks

Have a great day in this fabulous weather,

Kim

Slim with Kim

Hi,

My name is Kim Wright and I have been a yo-yo dieter all of my adult life. I've tried all kinds of diets, various slimming clubs, heaps of books and could tell you the calories in most basic foods without having to think!

Well, this time I've decided to attempt the odyssey with an audience. Maybe I can find motivation in being watched and maybe I can offer some inspiration or a feeling of solidarity with fellow dieters.

My plan is to follow healthy regimes and try out the books etc, recipes and magazines. Maybe try new products and give reviews. I hope to post about how I am finding the diet, how I am feeling and what I have been doing. If it's good then it might be inspiring if it's going badly then perhaps a me too moment.

I intend to include some videos etc. so please feel free to join me on my quest to lose 5 stone.

Good Luck to you if you are a fellow slimmer. Kim xxx
