ISSUING MY NEW LONG-TERM CHALLENGE! :)
I am feeling much better, much more focused.
I have reviewed my weight loss goals and have decided I need to be more lenient on myself- particularly knowing I will be entering 3rd year next semester and study will be taking first priority.
My challenge... is to lose 10 kilos in 20 weeks.
This is achievable as I will be on holidays for 5 weeks shortly and will have time to exercise hard/eat well, and focus on losing some kilos. After I will be back at school, and hoping to have a loss of 500 grams a week. Some weeks I may lose less, but a loss is a loss and that will be my motto from now on in.
I have even made myself two nice tickers- one to show how far i've come from the very beginning, another to show the journey downwards from Week 1 of my challenge :)
(this ticker shows how far i've come since the beginning)
Also, I have decided I might start counting points as I often do not eat enough calories during the day and I think this is what may account for the binge I experienced at the end of last week. I think realistically, to lose this weight, long term will be the best approach, and by eating all my points I will be more satisfied.
In other news..I am also looking into taking up tennis as a hobby but more on that later.
(this ticker shows how much i'm losing for the challenge!)
UPDATE:
I have added here, for tracking purposes, my challenge "before" photos: me at 78.8 kg :)
There is no turning back- only onwards and downwards!!!!

Hey there,
Just checking out your blog. You are looking really good! Congrats on how far you have come! What is your goal weight? I love reading blogs of people around my age (I'm 22 as well)
The 10kg in 20 weeks sounds good. I think I really need to issue myself a long term challenge, in a but of a rut at the moment.
Look forward to reading your blog some more!
woohooo, looking good, keep up the geat work...10kg in 20 weeks is a good challenge, go girl, go !!

Thanks rebecca!
Cheers for your compliment- it really helps looking in perspective of where I've come from.
I too love reading others blogs of the same age, also those of the same height. We have specific challenges being young, and I am too often tempted by vodka and beer by well-meaning mates!
This is why I have decided to think 'long-term' and also starting on POINTS, as I know for a fact I can 'diet hard' but it's losing a little weight consistently that is the real challenge.
20 weeks sounds like a long time, but I'm at Uni and I *KNOW* it's going to fly by and it'll be summer before I know it!
You should definitely try a challenge with me... I think we have a similar amount to lose.
Anyway- thanks for the comment :)
Jen- Thanks for the compliment, and yeah I'm excited... It's a change of pace, as I usually go hard and fast... but this time I'm in it for gold! :) Ta x
