I'm not really fat but losing 1.5 stone would get me down to fighting fit weight, think Brad Pitt in "Fight Club". Well this goal of 1.5 stone is negligible considering the outcome however I have never been able to achieve it over the years , because I have always been a loser. I think all fat people are losers. It's not their guts that makes them overweight, it's not having the guts to overcome life. I include my self in the previous statement. So I set out a vanity goal to lose a stone in two months while putting on some muscle. I call it vanity because I probably have got other issues I should be working on but I decided if I can overcome this quest I have desired for so long I will be able to overcome ANYTHING. After 7 weeks have lost 12 pounds and have never been so muscle-y before. This is all just the side effect of realising when ever you meet a challenge in life you have to meet it head on and smash your way through it if you have to. I will wait to I achieve my full goal before I raise the bar higher but believe me, I now have others sights in mind. Determination, it's all in your mind... don't be a loser.

I really need to lose weight for health reasons. I lost 35 pounds on WW about 12 years ago and after quitting smoking, gained it all back, plus a few more. So here I am for the umpteenth time trying to get back at it but it is a real struggle. I've added exercising recently since I really don't think I can lose without exercising also. My job is in front of a computer all day so.... Health is the #1 reason and I would also like to look good in clothes again! Well honestly at this point in my life, okay I’ll admit it, I’m 54!

I'll spend an hour (at home) trying on outfits, mixing and matching styles and colors and it's fun, because everything fits. Of course, in the process, I've gained energy and confidence. Next I'm going to work on "getting fit" the often forgotten sister of "losing weight." I'm looking forward to that challenge!
