The starting line

Hello everyone and welcome to Motivations first post! Every run, jog, race or marathon needs a starting line and to be honest my starting line was the 26th of August 2013. Im not sure if it was my heaviest but i weighed about 12 and a half stone... I was only just about comfortable in a size 14 and I was miserable with the way i looked. Not because i was enormous but because i knew i could do much better with my body. Now ive lost maybe a little over 2 stone im much happier- however its very slowly starting to creep back on... I got down to 9st 12 and i was very happy.. slowly since Christmas ive gone back up to 10 st 6. Nothing dreadful but it will get much worse if i dont keep it in check. 

My current goal is to return to 9st 12 and then maybe carry on loosing weight if i feel like i need to. 

I used the wii fit plus to achieve my weight loss last time and simple healthy eating and portion size control. That method worked great but im now planning on supporting that with more motivational photos, (how i used to look before i gained weight, how i looked after id lost weight and photos of myself i hate) exercising with friends and keeping this blog. 

I plan to start with doing a weigh in every week- every Sunday. Last time i used wii fit to weigh myself every day and when i was loosing weight quickly that was great, but now I'm smaller the change is happening slower so I'm not feeling quite so accomplished. 

I'm thinking the key is variation.. i get bored very easily so i may change my exercise plan many many times. 

So this is a new starting line and I'm going to give you all some measurements of mine. 

My Current weight: 10st 6 pounds - 146 pound - 66 kg
Arms - 30cm
Thighs - 59cm
Smallest part of waist - 73 cm 
Largest part of tummy - 89 cm
Uk size- 10-12

According to reading online i should have a waist measurement of below 80 cm to be healthy so i am quite close to 80 cm give or take. But this is more about loosing that last bit of weight and maintaining rather than usual weight loss.  

So there it is! My first post.. ill probably post quite a lot to start with and then it will hopefully become steady.
