Thread: CeeCee's Weight Loss Journey - It could be a bumpy ride!

Well another 1lb gone . My weight loss has really slowed down but to be honest i could be more careful with what i eat (4 pack of muffins anyone?). I have started drinking herbal tea and feel better for it. Plus the 3 or 4 trips to the gym each week are toning me up .

Today my BMI is finally under 30 yippee and having lost 42lbs with 39 to go i am over half way to my target weight.

I started this weight loss plan in August last year and I think this is the longest I have ever stuck to any diet. I guess that's because this isn't just a diet. For the first time in my life I am doing regular exercise and loving it. Even though at times I am not as strict with what I eat as I could be, I can get away with it because of the exercise - a lightbulb moment . Also, because I have not been strict with myself I have some room for improvement when the going gets really tough. I don't even mind that my weight loss has really slowed down in last few weeks because I have lost inches and realise that this way of eating and exercising is sustainable for me for life.

Now, just need to think up some more mini goals .

After taking a break from watching what i eat over Christmas and most of January, I now feel motivated to get back on the wagon .

I am still doing aqua exercise and pilates, just not as much as i did, so need to up that a bit. I think i have probably put on a couple of lbs but nothing major as still in size 16 jeans .

I think i need something fairly strict and controlled to start with and because i'm 'in the zone' I may as well make the most of it! Am enjoying watching the biggest loser and have decided to start the meal replacement programme on Monday. I have bought the starter pack from Asda today and a few snack bars so all ready to start. I think i will do Mon to Fri for the next 2 weeks and see how i get on.

Would love to hear the thoughts of anyone else doing this plan?
