Getting Started

Hi all

 I have decided to do this blog as a public way of following my 12WBT Journey. I have started the preseason which ends on 12/09/11 and the 12week program starts. I have done 4 weeks of the preseason so i can get myself ready for the season proper.
 My Start Weight was 109kg and that scred my so much it is the heaviest i have ever been and i hate it i want my curves back and i want my knees and hips to stop hurting i have just turned 41 and i do not want to get an bigger. 

I have the problem that i am on medication for depression and both the meds i am on are ones that put weight on my theripsts think i need to go on Lithum and after i did the research on it i do not want to go on Lithum as one of the side effects is weight gain great more weight so i had a desision to make. Because i was over weight i hated the way i looked which in turn made me feel more depressed,so i decided to take controll and joined the 12WBT. with Michelle from the biggest loser.I am determind to make this work.
So if you want to please come on this journey with me. This will be my place to vent and complain AND CELABRATE MY VICTORIES which i hope there will be more of,
I am walking at the moment and burning 500 calories a day which is what i will have to do on the program, I have also started cooking health food to and have cut down on my portion size (i bought a plate with portion sizes on it and this has been fantatic i love my plate and bowl)I was amazed at how much i was over eating.

I will be posting photos and hope to see a reduction in my size i am on this Journey with some amazing women and we are all doing this together. I also have support from my amazing husband who comes for walks with me and eats the same food i am but also still has his snaks and he has lost 6kg in the last 4 weeks so unfair i am working my but off and he just loses weight like it is so easy wish it was for me, I must admit tho he is looking fine.
So here we go on a 12 week Journey lets hope there are not to many bumps along the way.
 Will post again tomorrow
