I'm 17 and weigh 8st10lb, however I'm only 5ft2in and lets just say I'm no longer the smallest - well I think so anyway. I'm 18 in 2 weeks and am determined to loose weight before I go to university in Mid-September. I was part of a pantomime for 12 weeks between November 2014 and February 2015, so I was dancing for 8-10 hours a day, every day during the 2 weeks of rehearsals and then 6 hours a day 3-5 times a week during performance season. This was on top of my usual 10 hours of dance classes a week, in A Level Dance, my dance school outside Sixth Form and other rehearsals for school displays, so I could afford to eat rubbish as I knew I would dance it off within the next few hours! I ended up getting rid of about 12 hours of dance a week since panto and my dance practical work for A Level Dance has finished, as well as getting rid of one evening of dance to make more space for revision! After GCSE exams a few years ago I started eating a lot of junk food and have been trying to stop, because I know that is the source of the problem, along with not taking as many formal dance classes. I'm going to start the 12 week plan on Monday and I need to stick at it! Race for Life is motivating me to get running too. I can easily run 3.5km even if I don't run for a couple of months, which is handy! I did RforL last year too and managed to cram all the training into the 2 weeks before hand so I know I can easily add 1.5km on in my 3 week deadline! Any top tips on cutting out snacks in between meals?? (I'm a sucker for anything sweet!)
