Going public on weight loss or not! by DonnaD

I'm Donna and seem to have really started to struggle with my weight over the past 6 years or so - I am now 42 years old.  Up until my early 30s I never had a problem with my weight - but since my later 30s is just seems to have piled on.  About 6 years ago I lost a lot of weight and got down to a comfortable size 10 again - but as soon as I stop trying back it all goes again!!

I have also, very foolishly, obtained a place in the London Marathon 2009 - having never run for a bus before!  I ran my first 10K run on New Years Day but was quite horrified by the pictures of the big old lump huffing around the course - what must people have thought of me.

So - this is me going public on my weight loss challenge, along with my running challenge.  My weight today is 12 stone 5lb - not great 'cos I'm only 5'4".  I would love to be 9 stone again, but realistically it would be great to be 10 stone, so that I could wear lovely clothes and feel good about myself.

I will post my weight each Monday and hopefully this will help me to resist my downfalls - cake, chocolate, crisps and so on.
