Starting off!

I've got to start somewhere!!!!

 Ok so here goes, this is my blog.

I'm Nicola and I am 25 years old.  Like any other girl out there I have struggled with my weight all my life!  I don't think I have ever had a moment where I look in the mirror and thought WOW about myself.  Dont get me wrong this isn't a blog full of self pity its more of a challenge for myself.

Today I begin my new life!

I am engaged and due to get married on May 4th 2014.  I WILL NOT look like I do now on our wedding day - this is the promise I have made to myself.

This morning I got weighed and although I don't admit this to anyone - I will admit to you (anyone who wants to follow my blog) I am a size 16 and I weigh 12 stone 5lbs.  I went to the doctors this morning on an unrelated issue and she worked out my bmi as 29.9 :( which according to the NHS anything over 25 is seen as overweight.

I'm not sure how I have managed to put this much weight on but I am now determined to lose it!

So here goes nothing.........!

Each week I will weigh myself, share what I have been eating/doing for exercising on here and please feel free to comment! 

Speak soon and wish me luck!

Nicola xx
