	&lt;p&gt;So, the statistics....&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My name is Lauren, I'm 20 and from England &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I'm 5 foot 4, or 162cm&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I weigh 13st 4lb, or 186lb, or almost 85kg&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My measurements are:&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Hips: 112cm or 44 inches&lt;br&gt;
Waist: 92cm or 36 inches&lt;br&gt;
Thigh: 66cm or 26 inches&lt;br&gt;
Calf: 41cm or 16 inches&lt;br&gt;
Upper arm: 36cm or 14 inches&lt;br&gt;
Bust: 97cm or 38 inches&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;This is NOT good...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I decided to set up this blog because I wanted a way to track how my body changes from July 1st to October 1st... I set 3 months, because they say that exercise takes 6 weeks to truly affect one's body, and obviously weight loss, if done sensibly is slow...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;My goals are as follows...........&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Eventually, I would like to be 9st, which is 125lb, or 57kg...&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;By October, I would like to have dropped down to 11st, which is 154lb, or 70kg.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I have no set ideas on measurements, as I carry a lot of muscle on my legs and arms, but it goes a little bit squidgy in between.... I would rather be toned than really slim, so I'm hoping that the weight loss coupled with exercise will give the look I want &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Also, I have been to the gym for the last 2 days, and will be going for an hour each day, and undertaking a healthy eating plan (food diary being kept to ensure this!!!) Since returning home on June 22nd (Sunday... it is now Wednesday morning) I have dropped from 13st 7lb down to 13st 4 lb, so 3lb in 3 days looks to be a good start!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I would never be able to cut out food or stop eating as I have pretty bad diabetes, and stopping eating would be akin to suicide, so healthy food, and 3 meals per day, no snacking seems to be working, if the 3lb is anything to go by!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Anyway, wish me luck!!!&lt;br&gt;
Lauren x x x&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;P.S. Updates every Wednesday..... &lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
