Helloo, im thinking of coming over to calorie counting!
i have done calorie counting before (it didnt last very long) but whilst i was doing it i had a good weight loss. i have been doing slimfast for abit but have my exams at the moment and just cant face dieting as well. so i am looking for the next (and final) diet to do once ive finished - 2 weeks on monday (although may have afew days celebrating before i start properly on my diet!)
i have a holiday at the end of july so i should have around 6 weeks to lose some weight. i am not overweight, i just want to tone up for the summer. im not sure how much i would need to lose. im only 5 ft tall and would like to get my bmi down to about 20, and preferably get my body fat down to 25% to begin with. i still want to be in the 'healthy' ranges, but because i am so small i will look and feel better if im at the bottom end of the scale. i like wearing high fashion clothes so it also helps if you are thinner! my main goal would be to be very fit and run a marathon - im thinking of doing a half marathon in october - so i will be doing lots of exercise to help speed up my weight loss. not really sure about how many cals i will be having a day - i guess around 1200. normally this would be cereal for brekkie (around 200), a soup for lunch (around 200) a 500 cal dinner (mainly salad or stirfry - no carbs) and some fresh fruit to snack on during the day. if im not seeing results i may drop that but i would prefer it to remain abit higher. i will aim for one cardio and one resistance work out each day, with lots of walking and maybe a pilates session too.
so im going to be giving it alot of thought whilst im doing my exams and then hopefully il be very geared up when i start and will have the motivation to diet for a whole six weeks (the longest ive ever lasted properly is 2!) so see u soon! xx
