New weight loss mantra

So I read somewhere, unfortunately I cannot remember where that:

It takes four weeks for you to notice your body changing,
eight weeks for your friends,
and twelve weeks for the rest of the world.
Give it twelve weeks, do not quit.

I've had enough of fad diets, I'll lose weight on them but a few weeks later I will be bigger than when I started. So for twelve weeks I am not going on a diet, I am going on a life style change. More trips to the gym and healthier eating. I am going to cut down on wheat and dairy as I know bread and cheese, however much I love them, they do not love my waistline.

I am not massively overweight, just a bit chubby. I am 5'3 and I weigh 10 stone 3 pounds (143 lb.) my bmi is 25.1 which is just into the overweight range. I ideally would like to loose a a bit more than a stone. I think my goal is 8 stone 9 pounds (121 lb.) which would take me in the middle of the healthy bmi at 21.2.

I am hoping that putting this up onto the internet will encourage me to keep at it. I do not feel confident to post a before photo right now. I have taken one, so I am hoping after 12 weeks I will feel confident to post a before and after.

My problem areas are in my tummy hips and thighs so I hope to target them in my work outs.
This is what I did yesterday:

50 russian twists
50 sit ups
50 russian twists
50 bicycles

50 bicycles
50 sit ups

Getting creative...

I thought I would try false nails for the first time and paint something creative onto them. Sorry they look super messy, but thats half the fun!

I stuck the nails onto a piece of paper with cellotape so they wouldnt move too much while painting. I used Barry M mint green, Revlon sparkling and Rimmel pro superwear ultra shine topcoat. I couldnt resist adding the heart confetti glitter at the end.

I am hoping they will look neater and really fun when I put them on tomorrow.

vogue fashion night out

This is a picture of me on office's facebook Vogue fashion night style hunters album. The  winner gets £100 of vouchers, thats almost a Jeffery Campbell! I couldnt look more awkward though :P

I thought i'd also take a picture of me in monki and the make-up (sorry for the myspace pose, or shall I say Edvard Munch pose) that I had done at topshop, very dramatic black eyes!
