This blog is to document my transformation from blob to svelte slim model. Okay, well maybe not that slim but slimmer than at present anyway!

Following on from Christmas I intend to loose some weight. Whilst I have never been the thinnest of people I have never been as large as I am at present. I am finding it slightly difficult being the size I am as I am less energetic than I was, my clothes don't fit and I feel achey too.

So, the post Christmas challenge is to go from a size 18 (almost 20) to eventually a size 14. I know this will take time but I am prepared to do it.

As a greyhound fanatic it is my intention to donate £1 for every 1lb I gain or lose to Hall Green RGT in a hope to both motivate myself and do some good for charity.

I will not be following any set diet just cutting back and being more healthy. I will be endeavouring to exercise more and have less chocolate, sweets and crisps.

We will see how it goes but I will aim to record my findings in here on a daily basis - whether that will happen or not I do not know!
