TSR BOOTCAMP, Numero Tres! - Let's Be Hot In 2011

Here goes:

Name: SamLowry
Age: 21
Height: 5"11 (and a half)
Weight: 179.4lbs (12st 11.4lbs or 81.4kg)
Jeans size: 34R
Reason: Continuation of the lifestyle change I started in August 2010 which slowed down in December. Need to get fitter and lose the last few pounds that make me look fat and need to get healthier as I'm already at high risk as both my parents have diabetes.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Gym - X-trainer for 40 minutes. Later was swimming. Oh. My. God. I was out of breath every other lap! How can I manage other things just fine but swimming kills me? Eventually I gave up, vowed to take a day of the gym tomorrow and kick swimming's arse. Then I got in the jacuzzi I ache all over. Muscles I didn't even know I had ache.

I used to be able to go 1 hour+ without stopping

EDIT: oh, I totally posted about the gym earlier. What can I say? I'm getting old an' me memory ain't quite what it was.

Joining here for some motivation and inspiration
As a start to the new year I'm going to start eating healthily and exercising. I'm a 19 year old female, 5'3 and weigh around 7-7.5 stone (this is a bit of a guess). When I was 16 I developed anorexia and dropped to just below 6.5 stone. Now that I'm planning on 'dieting' again I'm trying to be really careful not to end up back there again, I want to be healthy and have a nice body, not be boney and ill!
So, basically, my goals are to eat less rubbishy food, more vegetables, quorn etc. (I'm a vegetarian ), stop snacking! And start doing proper exercise - although I really am rather clueless about this
I may start weighing myself once I feel more confident.

7-7.5 stone is perfectly fine for your height!

Just do a bit more exercise and your body will start to look better sooner rather than later.

I know it's ok (it is a bit of a guess though but 7.5 stone was my natural weight before I lost all the weight, so I would assume it's somewhere around there now).

The only reason I'm really changing my diet is to help with the exercise (I've heard it's not as good to just do one or the other?), and to make me feel better...I just feel unhealthy on the inside

But thanks for the advice I'm looking into what sort of exercise I should be doing

So, you're trying to tone your body and mantain the same weight?

Pretty much, yep I'm not really going to watch my weight, I just want to look nice and, like you said, look more toned.

You should go to the gym 'curves'. The training curcuit is really good.

I really do need to start going, this is going to sound so lame, but the idea does scare me a bit I'd be clueless! Worst part is, I do actually have access to a free gym.
