Calorie Counting to Skinnydom Diary

[BamBam]

Hello there
My names Bam and I have 3stone and 8lbs to lose to get to goal.
I would like to be at my 10 stone goal by December 4th when I go on holiday.
I am currently eating 1400 cals per day and doing around 30 mins of exercise per day to lose the weight.
I am going to keep this diary to keep me motivated and hopefully pick up tips from all you nice peeps.

Love Bam x x

Hiya Abz x x

Thanks - I am looking forward to chatting with all you calorie counters.

I am going on holiday for a week on Saturday but I am determined to stick with the sensible eating and hopefully even lose a couple of pounds.

My weigh day is Saturday - but I won't be here to weigh in as I have to be at the airport at 4am ... so I shall have two weeks worth of weigh in the following week.

Love Bam x x
