Phew.
I've been through it all; Lipotrim, the cabbage diet, Weight watchers, my own fabricated and hopeful schemes, the works... But now I will begin the true journey of my weight loss!! I'm doing it right this time. Slowly, but surely.
I have pretty reasonable goals set for myself.
It's my birthday in September and I'm having a big celebration for it... so I'm hoping to lose 2.5 - 3 stone by September 25th.
I also have a more short-term goal, and that is Sicily in June. I'm hoping to lose at least 10 pounds before we jet off to the land of mopeds and bikinis.
I've decided the best way to do this is with by helping and supporting others who are on a similar journey, hence why I've joined this website!! I really enjoy reading your success stories, and seeing everyone cheering each other on!
So I'm going to begin logging my progress. Starting with today!

DAY 1!
Weighed in at 13 stone.
Breakfast: 1 poached egg, 2 slices brown bread w. 1 tsp butter, 3 tbsp baked beans, 1 tbsp ketchup
Snack: 5 frozen grapes (by the way, these are amazing, especially when it's nice and warm out - so refreshing), handful of yogurt covered raisins and peanuts
Lunch: garden salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato) with balsamic vinegar dressing. Smoothie: banana, kiwi, 1/2 cantaloupe, 1 tbsp low fat natural yogurt
Snack: 2 chocolates from milk tray (so bold)
Dinner: tin of tomato soup
Went to the beach for 1 hour doing intervals of walking then running. So proud of myself! Although, I think I should be varying my food a lot better, today wasn't off to a very good start considering I checked all the points with WW and I was already at my 23 points limit.
Tomorrow will be better.
