Flossy's food diary - 7 1/2 stone down, 1 to go!

[flossyxo]

Hey everyone. I have decided to start a new food diary here. I have lost 7 and a half stone since Feb 2012 and I have one stone to go (or around 10lb) to get me down to my ultimate goal on the scales - 9 stone. I currently weigh 9st 10lb!

My losses seem really slow at the minute and it's getting me down. I don't think my head had adjusted to the size that I am and I still feel as though I am 'big' but I am trying to work on this and trying to stop feeling guilty about the foods I eat.

I exercise a lot and currently training for my first ever 10k next summer! I still have my wobbly bits so trying to tone up and reduce fat in the gym! Also thinking of starting slimming world in the new year as I think it'll teach me a healthy relationship with food. I've dabbled with sw myself at home and try to incorporate their rules and recipes into my diet as much as possible but I think a group would benefit me.

Sorry to ramble! Would love any advice on my diet from people thank you x

Today's food:

Breakfast: 35g Asda high bran cereal with warm skimmed milk.

Dinner: Banana, orange muller light and two aldi light cereal bars and a bottle of diet coke. 2l of water too during the day.

Tea: Asda reduced calorie ham and mushroom tagliatelle with broccoli.

Today has been making up for eating out last night for a family birthday and the first ready meal I've eaten for around two years! So not a true reflection of my day to day meals really.

Hi

Wow, 7 and a half stone is amazing! May jd ask how you've done it? Diet and exercise wise? I'm a calorie counter myself and have been going at it with only 50% effort since last October (I will confess lol) and am currently just 3 1/2 stone down (with 3 and a half to go!)

Congrats on your amazing success xx

Today's weigh in: 9st 8lb! 2lb loss!

I feel like I've eaten WAY more this week than usual and I haven't even been to the gym (I've had a few days off work) and I never seem to lose 2lb in a week! I can only put it down to an increase in calories as they say that's what is needed when you tend to plateau? I just need to lose a few more lb before christmas now eek.
