| Introduction | I would say I'm a regular girl-next-door. Mainly a size 14 but a 12 on a good day. I'm 5 foot 7 and at the start of this challenge I weighed 11 stone 12lbs (I like to think I hid it well!). I'm not huge, but I'm certainly not in shape. I couldn't run to the end of our road and it was getting to the point where clothes shopping was becoming window shopping (few things hide an apple shape well). This year I am turning 35 and it's been a big wake up call for me. Why spend half my adult life feeling unfit and unsatisfied with myself? It's time to change! Trouble is, I've never been motivated. I love food. I hate excercise and I'm well practiced in the art of disguising wobbly bits. I had to do something drastic, and so I contacted William Hill and asked what my odds were on getting down to 9 stone 7lbs by my 35th birthday (just in time for Christmas 08). They were great. They gave me odds at 22/1 and even wished me luck! So now I have to do it. I've placed a bet and promised any money I make to The British Heart Foundation, as this is not about getting skinny, it's about getting fit for 35! Join me on the diet and fitness journey of my life... Diet Betty x |
