Why am I interested in weight loss? Why should you?

I thought that in this post I'd say a little about myself! Very self centred I know :). So what got me interested in weight loss?

Well, about a year ago I was told that I was on the verge of developing Type 2 Diabetes - the type you get for being a lazy couch potato! It really brought my weight into perspective, I realised that I needed to take action.

Over the course of three months I lost two stone (28lb) bringing me down from 13 to 11! I managed it using a combination of diet and exercise. In terms of diet I essentially cut out anything that contained carbohydrates! That meant I didn't eat potato, pasta, rice, bread, fruit.... everything I love. I essentially lived off meat and vegetables!

Goodbye High Carbohydrate Food :(

 As for exercise I started talking my dog, Bertie out more frequently and for longer walks, which I enjoyed as I live in a beautiful part of the mountains!

Since reaching my 11 stone target I have gained another half, so I'll have to start cutting back again soon, so I've created this blog to keep up to date and share weightloss news, tips and goodies!
