Hi guys, I'm Keith, I'm a student, and I'm 24 years old. I've always been a big lad, but that's gonna change!
So I started my weight loss back in May, when I weighed 309lb, which was the biggest I have ever been. As of now, I weigh 279lb so have lost over 2 stone in just over 2 months.
It took a lot of adjusting to my new lifestyle, and that is still ongoing. I calorie count and do cardio. I count every single calorie that I eat (well, I try my best!) and keep a record. I thought an online version would be pretty cool, and would let me get advice, suggestions and support from other people
So I'm going to write down what I did today!
13th July 2010
Exercise:
Lunch:
Dinner:
Snacks:
Daily Calorie Total: 1237
I know I ate too little today, and that was down to bad meal planning (doing it on the go) and it being the day before the big weekly shop. However, I didn't feel hungry and didn't do any strenuous exercise, so I'm not too concerned about the low calorie count today. Tomorrow's another day!
Also if any one reads this and knows the answer to this question... How do you count your coffee calories? Are they so small that you don't count them? I take instant coffee with skimmed milk and a sweetener, but have 4-5 cups a day and often wonder how they add up. So far I haven't found a reliable method of counting them, unless I go completely insane and start weighing my coffee! I think that would be a bit insane though. I know they may be very low calorie, but with the amount I drink, they're bound to eventually add up, right? Or am I being a bit too obsessive?
