New diet, new diary!
Went from 16st plus to 8st 3lbs and have been every weight in between at least 100 more times. Since December 2009 I have regained and lost the same 3st gosh knows how many times.... My diets of choice have always been, lighter life, Exante or Atkins. All diets with limited carbs to induce ketosis to suppress appetite. Quick weight loss but even quicker weight gain.... These diets have taught me nothing except I can get it off quickly if I have to. The result? I'm now in a binge/ starve cycle with a horrifically slow metabolism and huge problems with my digestive system.
I have recently had a failed attempt at Atkins an enough is enough! I'm fed up with excluding certain food groups, I still know nothing about portion control and always feel hungry..... Never starving but never full. Always room for more naughties.
We have recently relocated from Edinburgh to Cumbria. Just got married on the 31st march this year and have two boys, aged 13 and 6. I cannot and will not put my body through this anymore...
I started calorie counting on thurs and so far its going well.... I'm tracking every moresal on mfp. There is no crisps or sweets in the house. I normally weigh in everyday but am weighing in weekly... It's hard but I need to break all cycles that have done me no favours in the past.
Thursday's weight was 12st 3lbs
Ideal weight 9st 3lbs
Start feeling comfortable around 10st 7lbs and that's normally when I binge then starve. Hopefully by tracking calories fat sugar and carbs I will learn what's good and can get my digestive system and metabolism working as it should. My first goal is to lose 1st... If it takes 6 weeks brilliant! One things for sure I'm determined. Fed up of squeezing myself into my clothes then putting baggy tops on to hide the muffin top...

LUNCH
