A new resolution or a new beginning?

I am a student, aged 21 and for whatever reasons, I have gained a substantial amount of weight over the past 2 and a half years. 

I used to be a size 8/10 and am now a size 14. 

Before

After

I have had many failed attempts at losing the weight I've gained but haven't yet found a way that keeps me motivated or interested for very long.

My parents have recently booked a villa in Majorca for them, me and my sister and our boyfriends for two weeks in July and I am now so determined to get back to my original weight and have the bikini body that I'd like.

Because of this I've started Weight Watchers. Although not going to the meetings or paying, I've acquired one of their fancy do-everything-for-you calculators.

You input your weight and height and it works out your daily and weekly pro points allowance. It's easy to input the nutritional values from your food and then it works out the points equivalent.

I've been on it a week so far and have lost 4lbs.

So far I'm finding it easy and exciting to find new recipes and foods to make and do.

I'm going to use this blog to document my journey and to see if the Weight Watchers plan can keep me motivated and help me lose weight.

Stay tuned or whatever :)
