Hi all,
My first post on this site! even though I joined this forum a few months back
Hmmm... some things about me... I decided that I wanted to lose some weight, so I decided on SW as some of my work colleagues are on it and it works for them and so I tried it on my own at home and I lost just over a stone on it.
After two and a half months of SW I have now decided to calorie count, as it gives me more freedom in my food choices and gives me more control over my portion sizes, as it was weird for me eating such large portions of free foods on SW! and it doesn't help as I'm an excessive eater! (and I'm sure if the portions weren't so large I would certainly have lost more weight!) Anyway, hopefully with calorie counting I can learn more about portion control
I would like to reach around the 140lb mark and although I would like to lose the excess weight as quick as possible, I want to do it as healthy as possible so I would hope to consume 1400-1500 cals per day with a couple days of exercise each week and see where that takes me.
I hope this calorie counting sticks as I have never really dieted before the SW period- I've used exercise as a tool to motivate me to be more healthy and I have lost weight that way (unintentionally, but was pleased with the 6-8 pounds weight loss that came with it! but it went back on slowly when I didn't continue with it )
Anyway, any info and advice is much appreciated! and all the best with whatever methods/plans you are continuing on at the moment! Thanks, for reading!
