Hello everyone!

I have been on and off diets for a very long time, but have now had enough and really want to do this for good! I plan to stick to weight watchers as I know it works for me, counting points really helps me measure what I eat and I love how I can still have a treat every now and again!

I want to lose 4 stone and ideally would like to do this in the next 12 months. This works out as just over 1lb a week. In one years time, I will be graduating from university and starting shopping for my wedding dress. So I have lots to motivate me

I'm also going to go swimming regularly and I will keep a track of how much I'm doing. I'm not going to go to meetings, I will just use my points calculator, books and buy the magazine. I'm going to try and eat the majority of my points allowance (26) as I feel this is where I have gone wrong before. Eating my full allowance will be a lot easier for me to maintain over the next year.

I will weigh in on Saturday mornings and allow myself a treat on Saturdays. So, here it goes...!

Monday

Today I went shopping with my aunty and cousin and ended up eating lunch in Spudulike. I decided on the tuna mayo jacket potato and have pointed it at 8, although I know it could have been more or less.

I went food shopping this evening so didn’t really have time to cook anything. I had a “lighter choices” ham and mushroom tagliatelle, it was soo nice and very very filling! I will definitely be having it again.

Today I went very slightly over on my points, I had 27/26. At work I won a bet and they gave me a yorkie bar as a prize. I was good and only had 2 squares and gave the rest to my OH, but when I got home and worked out the points, 2 squares of yorkie = 4 points!!! I did have 3.5 points saved up so i'm not too worried

I've lost 6lbs since monday, I can't believe it! I know it's been my first week, but i've never lost that much in my first week of a diet before. I've never let myself go hungury and have always felt full after meals. I think it's because i've been exercising. I'm not expecting to loose as much next week, but at the moment i'm over the moon

I'm having my normal breakfast, but am gonna treat myself later. I'm going to the mother in laws so will be able to eat whatever she cooks

Bring on week 2!
