Issywizzywoo's Qwerty Diet

Well I thought it’s about time I knuckled down started a diary & stopped yoyo-ing. I’m hoping a combination of an online diary & constantly being on minimums (think I’m an addict btw) should keep me on track, hence the “Qwerty diet”.

Quick intro, I’m a 38yr old mother of two girls 7 & 8, I live in Ireland. I’m a "Stay At Home Mum", I'm classed as a domestic engineer (cleaner) in this house lol & joined SW in Feb ’13. My one regret is not joining years ago, I’ve tried nearly every diet under the sun & this is the only one that I can stick to & can realistically see helping me to a goal weight, I love it. I’m not a big loser , usually 1-2lbs but that’s usually a loss through food as I havn’t been doing much body magic (& I do cheat myself ALOT), so I’m gonna try remedy that.

:devilangel:I been yoyo-ing 7lbs the last 2months since the school hols & trip to France. I feel now is the time to get serious, I don’t want to undo all the work I put in. I’m not able to attend group at the moment, so using here as a very good substitute, have made lovely virtual friends here & I find it’s a very positive place to spend time. I don’t do Faceook or Twitter so Minimims has turned into my little vice.

I’ll post my food for the day tomorrow, still deciding on what type of day to do.
