C'est moi!

This is a photo of me, taken by my youngest daughter Kiera, who I dragged outside in her PJ's. I don't look very happy, I think I was more concerned that Kiera wasn't putting her finger over the lens!


And here's 50% of my offspring,
Kaysie (17) and Kiera(11).

I'll post some photos of my boys when I can find some where they're not snarling or making rude gestures!


And below is Kays, taken a little over 12 months ago, before her school formal. She really looks like a princess, which is so not her! She's the sporty type, not a girly girl. She made the dress herself at school, and I was very proud of her for doing that because a lot of her friends spent a small fortune on their dresses. She insisted on doing it "on the cheap" because it was just before she headed off to the U.S. We bought her the bling though, and it hasn't been worn since!

It's about time!

Not one to be left out, I've decided to join the blog wagon and create one about me! I'm hoping that after having lost 12kgs and with another 5kg to go, this will help to make me accountable. I think I need something like this to help nudge my smaller but not small enough butt in the right direction.

I'm a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I first joined in 1992. Almost 15 years and another child later, I'm back doing it all over again. While I'm kicking myself for letting my weight steadily climb over the years, I'm actually enjoying the journey more this time. Firstly, it's easier 'cos I know WW works. Secondly, this time around I've found the WW message boards, which means I've got so much support from people who understand what I'm going through.

In order to keep things moving, I've joined a boot camp. I'm now not bothered by the fact that I'm probably the oldest person there, but I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't seem to be making a difference on the scales. I'm definitely fitter though, and I've discovered muscles that I never knew existed! Today I found I have a groin muscle....no splits for me tonight!

I wish I could find a "before" photo, but I'm usually the one behind the camera. Truth is, I don't like having my photo taken - I'm not very photogenic. However I'm going to try and round up someone to take a snap of me, and if it's not TOO disgusting I'll post it. Otherwise you'll just have to use your imagination!
