Can you belive its 2012... Where has the time gone!!

I remember high school like it was yesterday, such an amazing time; no responsibly, no drama (besides who will be your friend today) and no being an adult!

I have done 1 round of 12WBT and something Mish said sticks with me like fly in a web "We are no longer teenagers so we need to stop eating like we are" I think once this resonated in my mind for a whole it was like DING DING DING.. The bells started to sound, I have been holding onto the past, what could have been and what was and guess what.. IT MADE ME FAT!. I could eat what I wanted and had to walk everywhere coz I didn't have a car.....

Let me introduce myself, I am Tara a 27 year old average girl from Melbourne Aust, I was not always from Melbourne I grew up in Sydney's western suburbs and did a 6 month stint in Adelaide before putting my roots down in Melbourne. I am getting married in 8 months (Aug 2012) and the thought of walking down the isle like i do today (or more importantly like I did in Jan 2011) makes me want to sit on the floor and cry.

In Jan 2011 looking at photos from Christmas I was mortified, I don't think it really hit me until then just how much weight I had put on. At a not so health 97kgs i  knew that I needed to do something. So I put to use the Gym membership I had had for almost 12 months and never used to good use. I got me a personal training who is AMAZING and I owe so much to her.. From Jan 2011 to Aug 2011 I lost 6.3kgs.. I was so close to being in the 80s but it was just taking to long doing it on my own, I didn't have the motivation and I couldn't curb my binge eating. So after some investigation (and some scepticism might I add) I signed up to Michelle Bridges 12WBT (www.12wbt.com)  and have not looked back..

In the 3 months (plus a few weeks pre-season) I lost 6.4kgs and I didn't stick to it 100% so the thought of what I could achive if i did it properly makes me super excited. I have signed up for the next round with a crazy 19.1kgs to lose before my wedding I am putting it out there to the world (or the world wide web and whom ever decides to read this).

A couple pics of how far I have come:
