The story so far

Hey out here in cyberspace. My name is Ray, I'm a 20 something mum of two and wife of one from the UK. This is a little diet/life blog space I've created to keep myself on track.
After I had my two girls I was weighing in at 166lbs and only 5ft 1", making my BMI around 31, and classed as medically obese. In July 2008 I decided to start losing the weight and did so mainly through weight watchers (just did it at home with my mums old books) and lots of exercise (again just workout DVDs at home).
By February 2009 I was down to 133lb and a healthy BMI of 25, and by March was down to 123lbs. I looked great and more importantly felt great... then I slipped off the wagon! For about a year I managed to maintain my weight at about 125lb not particularly eating junk but not dieting either and no exercising. Until around May 2010 I started eat lots of junk again and we started eating a takeaway almost 3 times a week. This resulted in me slowly getting back up to 132.8lbs as of 21st August.
So as said before this little blog will be my sanctuary for keeping me on track. Yesterday I officially started the Scarsdale diet and spent most of the day ravenous, with a pounding headache, tired and bad breath! Today I feel a bit better but luckily I've had the opportunity to nap in the afternoon. Tomorrow will be the big test for me when I go back to work and have to survive the day on some melon and a little bit of ham until I get home. Here's hoping ketosis will have kicked in by then and I won't notice so much. On the bright side only 5 more days to go as I think I'll only give it a week to boost my weight loss and then I'm contemplating the Dukan diet.
Okay doke I'm off the go grab a bit of melon and some water and go do some cyber-window shopping to make myself feel better.
