Well the first weigh in should always be an easy one, after giving the metabolism a good shock with all that healthy eating business. So,
Starting Weight: 76.5 kg
Current Weight 73.9 kg
Total Loss This Week - 2.6 kg
Total Loss To Date - 2.6 kg.
I have to be pleased with that, now I know it doesn't carry on like that in real life (only on Biggest Loser) but I certainly feel that I have made a good start.
Maybe I should treat myself to a great big creamcake ;-) (Nooooooo...)

Day One
So this was going to be the 1st day of my makeover, you know, get the birthday over with and then get started. You know how it is. Well, I started early, couldn't wait to get going!
I signed up to Weight Watchers online, finished off all the chocolate in the house, bought a load of vegetables and healthy food and off I went.
First weigh in is on Monday
Wish me luck

Weight Watchers
There are hundreds of weight loss programs out there, from calorie counting, to meal replacement shakes to ready prepared meals, so why Weight Watchers. Well, apart from it being one of the biggest in the world, there are a number of reasons.
I've used it before with some success and know others who have too
It has great online tools and access
and as part of their offering they are giving away a booklet called 'makeover secrets' well, it's like it's meant to be, how could I resist.
According to Weight Watchers, at 163cm tall (5'3") and 76kg (12 stone 1lb/169lbs) I have a BMI of 29 (oops) my 10% goal is 68kg and my healthy weight range is 53-66kg.
So I have 10kg to lose to be healthy, and 20kg to lose to be at the thin end of the range.
Easy, now I have three goals to aim for, 68kg (110stone 10lbs/150lbs - 10% weight loss), 66kg (10stone 6lbs/146lbs, healthy weight range) and 56kg (8stone 11lbs/123lbs, a bit skinny?).
So is it realistic? Well, I was 56kg (8 stone 11lbs/123lbs) when I met my husband in 1996 (and 73.5kg/11 stone 8lbs/162lbs) when I married him in 2003. So it is somewhere I've been before, and although I'm older now, maybe I could go there again?
And weightwatchers recommend an average of 1/2 - 1kg per week, so 20kg in 52 weeks should be 'easy'...
So here I go, phase one of my makeover program underway.
