After years of thinking I need to pay memberships to weight watchers or slimming world, then joining and failing many times, just yo-yoing up and down. Eating too much then not enough, crazy carb free, gi, dukan blah blah blah. And also needing to join a gym or buy this or that to suceed, because surely you can't lose weight seriously just by moving more?!
You see I didn't want to count calories because everyone says " who can be bothered adding up every little thing you eat?". Then I discovered MFP, it's not hard at all! You can make wise choices and spend your cals sensibly, you can eat what you want, but maybe a little less, and move a little more. I can earn decent calories just getting out of bed and making sure I walk the school run! Swing my arms a little more and earn a biscuit ( well u know what I mean, lol). I know it sounds stupid, but I could have been doing this all along! And when I reach target I'll be able to maintain easily as I'll adjust my targets etc. Literally this morning when I weighed in ( with another loss, yippee) and realised this was working, and sometimes not eating enough also makes me stall, a little bulb flashed! Sorry for ranting, but I finally feel in control and that I have the tools to not be the fat sister anymore!!
