http://www.minimins.com/weight-loss-diary/44957-everyrose-counting-calories-success.html

Since January 2009 then I have gained 18lb

SO I am determined to lose it all again plus more!

Here's my intro again;

Right firstly I will give you an insight into who I am

My name is Jo, I'm 27yrs old and I have 4 kids (5 if you include the DP ). Robbie 8.5, Billy 6.5, Isabella 4.5 and Harry 2.5.
We live in SE London.

I have 47lb to lose to get to my target weight, and I hope to do this by Christmas 2010!

I lost 3stone in a year last time so I am sure I can do it again!!

Wish me luck!!

Will put my food diarys and progress reports on here daily

Today is going to be better though, no more cheese LOL

Just realised I can share my food diary out without actually copying and pasting it!

So here's Sunday & Monday (click the days)

 

[EveryRose]

Okay I started my diet in June 2008 and I was 15st 3lb...

And this is me in December 2008...

I lost a total of 3stone.

But unfortunatly I gained 18lb so I am back on the journey!

Me now (February 2010) weighing 13st 2lb

So I am more than ever determined to get back onto the dieting wagon and not slip like before!!

 

[amberstone]

Thanks hun I guess 1st gain in just over a year isn't so bad is it?

 

[EveryRose]

Oh dear...I kinda slipped today.

Was doing well though, Thursdays is coffee morning day...I took my own green teabags, refused ham and cheese toasties. Then afterwards it was PTA meeting...my friend opened her truffles that she was given, I had just 1.

Had another green tea.

Went to wholesalers to get supplies for Valentines Disco (which was taking place after school, run by us), Harry wanted to eat Quavers...so I opened a packet for him. I didn't have any.

Got back to school, bagged up sweets for disco. I didn't touch one.

Then it was lunchtime, we was all getting a bit hungry so my friend's hubby went to the chip shop and bought us all a portion of chips each...

OOPS!!!

Harry did help me to eat mine though, but I had a chip butty (mmmmmmmmmmmm).

Boy did I enjoy them chips, been wanting chippy chips for a few days now LOL.

Saying that though I didn't have brekkie...but I have no idea how many calories are in chippy chips!!

Disco time, I had a few Love Heart sweeties and I knicked a couple of Bill's chips (we served up chips for the kids to eat).

Came home at 6pm and ended up having the custard donut I didn't have ysterday plus a handful of Quavers and a packet of WeightWatchers biscuits

I was starving.

Got indian and tex mex buffet stuff tonite, have to use it up to make room in the freezer.

So well over my calories today I think. Not even sure I'm gonna bother adding them up, I'll only depress myself.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day, as they say.
