ProPoints Cutting the Fat - My Food Diary

[Large Aspect]

I've posted up a weight loss diary for keeping track of the weight I lose, but to be honest my main problem is food - quantity and quality. So I thought a food diary where I post what I am eating every day (or as close to it as I can get) would help hold me somewhat accountable for my effort.

Stats

• 60 point a day allowance (as of 2/7/13)
• 6ft4
• Started on 2/7/13 on 20st 4lbs
• Male
• Very sedentary lifestyle though rugby preseason is just starting
• 31

I go into a few more details re me on my weight loss diary, but that gives a general over view.

I need to get onto preplanning some meals, but I suppose the advantage of being as large as I am is that I get a LOT of points, so at the moment I do have some allowance for slipping off the wagon.

Depends how you count rugby - not sure my usual technique of waddling around the field burns many points!

Preseason is a lot harder though, nowhere to hide... So I guess we'll see how many I need when I start tomorrow.

Cheers for the encouragement!

So yesterday was a good day, with 21pp left over and only a few hours I was hungry for (and that was basically waiting for my wife to get home from work so I could have dinner - about 9pm).

Was very happy with my curry. Would have been 1pp lower but I over spiced it and was a wee bit hot (1 teaspoon of low fat creme freche needed to cool it down. My wife needed a few more than 1). Very happy with the flavour of it though, going to try it again but get the spice right and if it works like I think it will I'll post

Today will be harder exercise wise, preseason starts today!

OK not the best day yesterday, only 7 points under thanks to a post rugby training dominos pizza fueled team meeting...but still under and I gained a bunch of activity points from a darned hard fitness session that I didn't need to tap into. A broken man now though. Still hopeful that next Tuesday's weight (exactly a week) will see me hit my first target of getting under 20st, btu cant afford any more pizza if I'm going to do it!

Target today - keep under 50 points.

Thanks, definitely a good start!

TBH though it may be a little cheating, going to move my weigh in to Mondays next week as I had training from 7.30 till 9.30 last night and whilst I drank about my own body weight in liquid, I was also very dehydrated so it could well be a lb or two of that was simply having lost some water weight - Monday mornings should be a more accurate reflection.

I've also noticed when trying to lose weight the first one comes easily, but after that it is more a lb or two here and there than a big week

Totally agree, I lost 3lb the first week but then it's just been 1lb or 0.5lb other than one big week! I'm just hoping the longer I take to lose it, the slower it will come back x
