Introduction

      I have decided to create a blog of my weight loss journey. I am not necessarily fat, but I am towards the softer side. This is purely my opinion of myself. Hopefully this blog can help encourage others to lead a healthier lifestyle.

       Throughout my entire life, I have almost always been the fatter one out of my circle of friends. There was once in my life, back in gr.10, where I had been dieting (some may call it starving) dramatically. In turn, I had lost 20 lbs the unhealthy way. I was weighing at roughly 100 lbs then, which isn't that skinny, but it had put my body out of whack. My period was gone for about 9 months, and my skin had a grey-ish tinge to it. Obviously, the weight came back easily (to the point where my body would be sore from the weight gain.) I was back up at 130, but had lost 5 lbs the healthy way. Here I am trying to lose 15 more lbs, putting me at a healthy weight of 110 lbs. Anyways, on to my stats.

Height: 5'4"/163 cm

Weight: 125 lbs/57 kg

Chest: 34 inches/38 cm

Waist: 25.5 inches/64 cm

Hips: 36 inches/91 cm

 

I will report my consumption and activity daily. The calorie amounts are from various websites such as calorie king and the daily plate. Every month I will post body pictures and new stats. Any comments about my regime is welcomed =)
