Welcome to my blog, and thank you for taking the time to visit!

| Nikki and Harry :-) |
My
name is Nikki. I've been on and off Weight Watchers more
times than I care to count, have often been tempted by quick fix
diets (but never really been quite silly enough to try them) and in
the meantime my weight has crept up to 14 stone six. I'm five foot
one. This makes me obese, and sends my BMI through the roof. To 38.1,
to be exact.
Yeah,
I know. Yikes. My ideal weight according to the NHS healthy weightchart is between seven stone and nine stone five. I'm going to try for
somewhere in the middle, so I'm aiming to lose six stone by
Christmas.
SIX
STONE. OMG. THAT'S LIKE A CHILD. I NEED TO LOSE A CHILD.
Luckily,
my best friend, housemate and all-round-motivator, Harry, has
recently completed a level three personal training course. He needs a
guinea pig to practise on, and I sure as hell need some help.
This
blog will document our experiences; the good, the bad, and the
downright hilarious. I'll also be interviewing some weight loss
experts for tips on how to lose weight in a healthy way – and how
to keep it off.
How
it's gonna go down
We'll
be breaking the journey into 12 week chunks, and I'm aiming to lose
two stone during each bit. I'll be following the NHS eating plan
and doing the CouchTo5K and Strength and Flex exercise programmes
during the first section. Harry will be helping me to train, making
sure that I'm doing the exercises correctly and motivating me, as
well as taking my measurements each week.
Where
you come in
As
well as sharing my experiences, I also want to hear about yours. Are
you trying to lose weight? Have you managed to reach your goal
weight? Are you sick of talking about weight?
Please
feel free to comment with questions, thoughts, or tips of your own. I
need all the help I can get, and I'd love to hear how you're getting
on!
If
you'd rather message me privately, feel free to email

Thanks
for reading!
Why
is it called the Fat Fag Hag, I hear you ask? Because I seem
to be something of a professional hag, I write another blog called
the Fag Hag Rag, which concerns my quest to find the best LGBT
entertainment in Manchester. Come on over and have a read!
