About me

Hi. My name is Karen, I am very unhappy with my body, I am a size 16-18. I work as a sales manager, which means plenty of driving and eating on the run. I would like to take up this challenge to try and change my body shape and improve my fitness levels. My weakness is food! - cakes, crisps & biscuits being the main culprits. (oh forgot, bread and anything else fattening and tasty) I recently had a cholesterol check which resulted in a count of 5 which I believe is too high.I am 5ft4 1/2" tall, I weigh 12.13 stones.(oh the shame of actually posting for all to see!!) I have a body mass index of 31.5 which is not healthy. I have decided to do something about this by taking up this challenge. This will really help me, as I know I cannot let anybody down, so from Monday the pressures on... I need the support of you guys out there to help me stay focused to change my eating habits and start regular exercise. My goal is to get to 12 stone by Christmas, a huge target I know but that's my ideal target, but you never know! (not sure if that's possible in 6 weeks) but will have a go.. Oh to fit into a size 14 pair of slinky jeans. I would be so happy. - My stress levels are sometimes at boiling point, I often feel edgy, impatient and short tempered. My aim is to add regular exercise into my lifestyle, along with healthy eating in the hope that this will improve on my mood and also my self image. I have exercised in the past but never seem to keep it up for long. I am longing to fit into jeans without that extra tyre above my waist. This year I am hoping I will look forward to the work's christmas do, as I will be slim enough to wear a posh party dress.....so come on girls, you help me get there, and I will help and encourage you too.
