All about me & my plan...

My name is Louise Dewsnap.  On New Years Eve I went out with friends to a party, I was a dress size bigger than last year and 3 dress sizes bigger than I used to be years ago, and I felt like a complete frump!!!  A picture being posted on a social networking site after new year was enough to make me realise I weren't happy and only me could do something about it.

Well I'm 7 weeks into my diet now so I decided to blog it.  I started weight watchers on the 2nd of January 2008, at the time I was allowed 21 points a day, 7 weeks later I've already lost 13lbs, my target is 2 st 11.5lbs (39.5lbs) so I have 26.5lbs to go...

I am now on 20 points a day but for the next 2 weeks I'm doing the WW kick start at 18 points a day to boost my weight loss then I'll be back to 20.  I'm now going to do more exercise too, so as of yesterday I've now got myself together a training plan...

Thursday is Jogging Night

Friday is Tredmill Night

Saturday or Sunday I will be doing the Angela Griffin Dancemix 2 DVD

Monday is Aqua Fit Night at the local swimming pool

Thanks for your message

Hey Louise, welcome to EP!  Thanks for the message you left - it looks like we're definitely on the same track ... although you're a bit taller than me!  I'm really pleased that I've managed to lose 20lb so far.  My sneaky peek earlier today showed that I've lost another couple of lbs this week, so still on track.  Can't quite believe it's going so well, and the willpower's staying put!

I've started back on my running in Jan too, as I know that's a big factor in my weight loss.  I put on weight because I had a knee injury and couldn't run for two years ... who am I kidding, I just ate too much of the wrong things!! lol  I'm really pleased though, I've managed to get back into it without too much trouble on my treadill - did 50 mins today! 

I'll be reading your blog ... so you'll hear from me again soon I'm sure!  Good luck ...
