Time to get fit & healthy!

I've always been at least chubby if not out right fat. It's never really bothered me, I'm happy enough in my self to not put too much pressure on myself to have the next lower dress size. That said, during my second pregnancy I was warned that (since I had borderline Gestational Diabetes) I may be at risk of developing diabetes in the future. So I have to start eating better, and getting slimmer & fitter for the sake of my health.

My "Fat Club" of Choice

Links 'n' Stuff

I'm a Weight Watchers girl. Always have been. I've been an attending member twice, and I have on online account too. I find it's the club that works for me - when I can be bothered to follow it. In the past I have got to 10 1/2 stone, which I think looks good on me.

BUT the wonders of BMI (sigh...) have convinced me to aim a little slimmer so I am going for 10 stone, which gives me a BMI of 24, i.e. healthy but not so skinny that I look stupid with my broad shoulders, wide hips and massive boobies!

This is my weight ticker:

I'm hoping to get a bit more physical too so I can tone up a bit. I love swimming and enjoy the gym, but with with 2 kiddies in tow and not much cash I'm not sure how much of that I'll get in.

I may go back to my old Rosemary Conley videos and DVDs that I have hidden away somewhere. I know they work even if the sound track is a little dated now (had them for over 10 years). Then all I have to manage is to get both kiddies to be asleep at the same time, while I have the energy to DO the workouts!
