To lose weight and get in shape...
Okay, possibly not exactly that number, but it feels like it, and I have no excuses why it isn't working apart from the fact that I'm fairly weak-willed about my motivation and determination to shed stones, despite drumming it into myself that I need and want to do it for a few reasons...
It was beginning to work. I lost nearly 10 pounds, and then I was put on the pill for a couple of reasons, and I've noticed over the last two weeks that I've put weight on, and feel 'bigger' than what I've ever felt... Maybe it's a coincedence, I don't know!
It's not just because of health reasons that I want to lose weight, although you'd think that alone should kick start me into it. There are other reasons as well. I want to look good, I want to feel good, and I know that my confidence will soar when I do it!
Right now, I am having the time of my life with some very special people, and I also want to look good for them too... I know (and they know) I'm not ready to step out of my comfort zone just yet, but doing this for myself will make me want to take those tentative steps into another exciting unknown a lot sooner than what it will if I sat here whinging about it and not doing it...
I also want to be able to go shopping without feeling a little down about it. I want to go straight into a clothes shop and not have to look for a 'plus size' range, or to have to search the rails to see what sizes they go up to. I want to be able to pick something off it and think to myself, 'yeah, you'll look alright in that...'
I don't want to look stunning, I'll leave that to my Luscious Lady 
, but I just want to look alright, and feel comfortable...
It's not too much to ask of myself, and I know deep down I can do it...
So, today, I'm prepared to start on attempt 694...

Good luck! Believe me I know what it's like to make yet another attempt. The diet that worked for me in the end was a rather drastic diet. I guess my weight loss made me want to try to help others who had struggled and were never helped with what they actually needed to do to lose the weight so I started training as a personal trainer, somewhat to help myself and somewhat to help others as I'd had horrendous experiences with gyms back in my youth. I really do wish you luck in losing weight and know what it's like to struggle daily and feeling let down and wondering just why you cannot lose that last bit, or even that first bit, hell the bit in the middle is pretty annoying too. I think that's one of the reasons I started the weightmanagement profile for others who just wanted some support and didn't want to join weightwatchers or slimming world etc. Was somewhere for people to blog a little and say how they were doing and maybe just get some support and possibly some good advice along the way and I really hope it helps others because I really really hope it helps me too along the way. We all need a gentle nudge in the right direction, even if it is to say "Step away from the kebab" (in my case)... Sometimes it's just nice to know there are others out there doing the same as you and you can support eachother. Good luck!
Danke Schoen, darling Danke Schoen. Thank you for all the joy and pain. | ||||

Good luck, it's never easy loosing weight and some days can be harder than others. I've tried countless diets but it's only this year I did one that works for me, its a calorie controlled one and doesn't feel like a diet at all, cutting back on all the crisps and choc was hard though lol, I've gone from 11 and a hlaf stone to 9 stone 9lbs and feel fantastic and a lot healthier for it, support from my Master helped lots too and I see you have your Mistress to support you as well so that always makes it easier. I just wanted to wish you well and hope have fun with it as I have, as diets don't mean all you get to eat is salad. lol
For me the key was finding one I knew I could do and not deprive myself of things, having my Master be in control of the choc, crisp, bun department really does help and stops me reaching for the biscuit tin, as I only have any if my Master gives me permission to
Hope you find what works for you | ||||

Thank you selenie 
I'll take a look at your weightmanagement profile you set up. Sounds like a brilliant idea where people can share ideas and give and get support I have a long way to go to get to any realistic goal, but today is the beginning. Like many times before, once I'm into it, I do alright, but its maintaining that thought process of keeping it going, and after a few weeks I start to falter - junk food creeps back in, and the exercise begins to lessen, and it is so easy to say, I'll start it back up tomorrow... I dusted the bikes off that were in the shed, and we cycled 4 miles today which I was pleased and proud about!
Got a positive head on, so I'm gonna do this thing
thanks again, your input is much appreciated, and yes, a gentle nudge in the right direction is very good xxx

Thank you tintedrose Yeah I tend to do the cutting all the crap out too, and it does work to an extent, but I think I have to accompany that with more exercise too. I always tend to lose a few pounds, then all of a sudden it stops and stays where it is... I then get a little disheartened and it becomes a huge battle to get going again...
Well done you on your weight loss I'd be over the moon to get to 11 stone, which is my ultimate goal thereabouts... Long way off, but not unreachable!
Thanks again xxx *Erotically Twisted ~ I Want, I Need, I Crave, I Lust* | ||||

I'm sure you will do well, I think when people set their minds to things they eventually reach their goal. Exercise definately helps, I cant do the gym I tried it and failed but I do all my exercises at home every night, again under Masters orders, so at least it stops me giving up and quitting so that's a massive help to keep me motivated as i'm not just doing it for myself, I always watch tv while doing it too, best of both worlds for me I guess lol

The gym would be a nightmare for me, but I do have equipment here to use at home. Also got Davina's workout on dvd, but I find myself not doing anything except watch her and laugh along with whatever she's saying... I don't know how you can watch tv whilst exercising. I'd get too distracted lol! xxx

LOL, I haven't watched it all the way through yet. Thank god she doesn't wear her sexy boots, or I wouldnt get past the warm up bit My walker is in my bedroom, so I tend to stick on the stereo with some good cd's and then get on it for an hour or so - add some naughty thoughts to the mix, and I tend to lose myself... Gonna have to get back on there! hehe, you'll have all your workmates going at it before the end of the week lol!
