Personal weight loss journey

This year I have picked up several regular unhealthy eating habits which have lead to me gaining around a stone. Think regular trips to Mcdonalds, Nandos, over indulgence in Costa, Cafe Nero and Starbucks ....Mmmm hot chocolate! Even though I've enjoyed indulging I haven't enjoyed the effects it has on my waist line- all those extra kcals have lead to extra lbs on the pesky scale.

My usual weight is 10st3/4 and can fluctuate to 10st5-6. I'm around 5ft11 so its pretty healthy. My BMI is around 20.5kg/m2 at this weight. I'm currently 11st or 70kg so I haven't got a large amount to lose (I consider this a small amount for myself but it may be a large amount for other people). My BMI even though not unhealthy is around 22kg/m2 < some people look really good around this range! I just feel that I need to start eating more healthily. I measured my fat range and its just over the healthy range too, reflects what I eat really...too much high fat and high calorie foods.

My plan is to lose this naughty 'stone' by august so I feel good on my wedding day. I say 'feel good' because I believe whatever weight, a women you looks beautiful.

Here are some photos of my rather bloated stomach:

 

I'll update you on my progress over the weeks.

 

Let me know about your weight loss journeys (if you ever have had to lose the extra lbs of course!) What has worked for you?
