The fat girl guide to getting fit.

So lets start this post where I left off... In January, after a fairly tough few months and very little motivation it all finally clicked. I woke up one morning feeling like I wanted to get my ass out of bed, for the first time in a while, and feeling like I wanted to get back on track. I'd self sabotaged for too long and I realised that the only way I was going to reach my 'goals' was to actually sit down, figure out what I wanted and although it sounds cheesy and cliche, make sure that my goals were achievable. When I started losing weight back in 2013 I set myself a target weight of 12.7 stone and I had the mindset that it would just happen which is stupid as a 5 stone weight loss is no easy challenge. Maybe it was the constant stories on social media about the 'Girl who lost 7 stone by following these easy steps' or the 'Want to lose weight quickly try drinking this before bed' posts that made me think it would just happen. I booked in for a free con...

Evening all, So as I said in my last post the real start of my journey to get fit started a year ago on 28th February when I walked into the town hall in Trowbridge anxious but ready and raring for my first round of Project 6 Pack.  Project 6 Pack is a 6 week course run by two personal trainers, Amirah and Laura, there are 4 fitness classes a week and a diet plan to follow. To measure your progress they take before and after pictures and also measurements of key areas, Neck, Arms, Bust, Waist, Abs, Bum & Legs. (Link below) I didn't really know what to expect when I walked in but I was greeted with a room full of women , some who were P6P veterans, some who were new and, like myself, resembled a deer in the headlights and two people who were clearly instructors. Like I said in my last post I'd joined after seeing a friends results so once I'd spotted her in the hall I suddenly felt more at ease.  We endured a fitness test and this was a massive challenge fo...

Let me start with by telling you a little about myself and why I am starting this Blog 'The fat girl guide to getting fit' I am Rhiannon, I am 27 and for the last 10 years of my life I have been a little on the large side. When I was a teenager I was fairly active, I danced 2/3 times a week and ate whatever I wanted (Oh what it is like to be young!) When I hit 15 I stopped working out, got a boyfriend and I assumed that I could continue to eat to my hearts content, boy was I wrong! I have a great love of food (My parents are chefs), I also have a massive sweet tooth and could sit and demolish a 24 box of jaffa cakes in one sitting and then reach for a cadburys cream egg or 4. Before I knew it I was 23 years old, almost 18 stone and a size 22. The realisation that I couldn't continue the way I was came in 2013 when shopping for a Birthday dress. Not being able to shop in the "Normal" clothes shops left me feeling deflated and unhappy. I searched and se...
