Blog

It’s December 9th 2016.

I’m 42 years old, 5’2″ and I currently weigh 149lbs – about 32% body fat.

My aim for the end of 2017 is to weigh 126lbs: that’s 23lbs weight loss total, or roughly 2lbs a month.  I will, however, be happy if I just manage to lose 14lbs over the course of the year and reduce my body fat %.

I am going to try and achieve this by dieting for 2-4 week periods, then taking 3-4 week breaks (where I will maintain the weight). In each dieting period, I’ll attempt a different type of diet, unless I find one that particularly works for me.

This blog is a tracker for my weight loss journey: to motivate myself, and hopefully share anything I learn along the way with others.
