I always seem to be wanting to lose a bit of weight, never a huge amount, but I never quite seem to do it. I know that "weight on the scales" is not the best benchmark, but I do realise that I have some extra wobble around my middle that really doesn't need to be there, so I have decided that I must lose 3kg - soon - and then review it.
I find the extra lard demotivates me regarding exercise, and then it's just a vicious circle. I've not managed much exercise over the summer due to work and also getting injured on a climbing holiday. All better now, apart from the lard. I also need to get out on my bike more!
Being female makes me worried that I'm beginning to fit into the permanent dieter (who never actually loses any weight) stereotype, but I suspect there are a few blokey types out there with the same issue.
Does anyone have any inspiring tales? (Please don't just tell me to eat less, exercise more ... I know the theory). Any one want to join me? I'd like to shift the weight in the next month to six weeks, which should be realisetic. I don't have a huge amount of time (- not an excuse), but am going to try to hit the gym / pool at lunchtimes if possible. Motivation is more the problem at the moment. Alcohol and sweeties officially off the menu for the time-being!
72.7kg on the scales as of this morning 
Here goes ...
I lost a bit in the spring, but just haven't been able to keep it going. I have no desire to be skinny, but would like to shift the "unnecessary" excess and fit into my jeans a bit better ... I've always refused to buy bigger sizes, but everything's a bit snug still.
