Hiya everyone :waves:
So I was doing WeightWatchers, but a glitch in my bank account has meant that my subscription has just stopped so I've decided to give good old calorie counting a go. I do have a diary over in the Weight Watchers thread, but couldn't figure out how to get it moved, so thought it was a good time to start anew.
I'm using MyFitnessPal to count my calories; and I have to say it's really opened up my eyes to how much I need to get my butt moving some more and get more exercise to be in with a chance of losing weight. I never really made that connection before with Weight Watchers as I could just fill up on veg and fruit, whereas now I need to count every thing which comes into my mouth. It's tough, but I'm liking it so far (although I expect for the next few days I'll make a load of mistakes meaning that I'll leave myself a wee bit short on cals)
Would love to chat to other people via this diary - always helps to know there are people around going through the same stuff.
Anyway, today's food so far:
Breakfast (closer to lunch time)
Walkers Baked, Cheese & Onion - 154 cals
Boots Shapers Pesto Chicken Wrap - 309 cals
Breakfast Total - 463 cals
Lunch
Kallo Rice Cakes x 3 - 90 cals
Peanut Butter, 45g - 277 cals
Lunch Total - 367 cals
Dinner
I have no idea yet. I only have 240 cals left for it. Yikes.
Snacks
Lucozade Original - 350 cals
1180/1420 cals used.
