Hi all,
I've been floating around for a while and did quite well in the run up to christmas and lost about 5 pounds but I have put most of that back on so I'm here writing this in the hope that it will keep me on track, it seems to be a useful tool to many of the ladies here.
So I should probably start by intoducing myself. My name is Stacey, I'm 26 and have never been happy with my figure. I also have a 6 year old daughter so I can't carry on blaming my wobble on baby fat. I currently weigh 10st7.4lb, this isn't my heaviest as a few years ago I weighed 11st10lb. I didn't physically try to loose this weight but think it was a combination of leaving my job where I sat on my bum all day and going to uni where I would have to walk miles to get to campus and then miles to get around campus, I also joined the gym a little bit later and this helped to tone me up, I was probably going 5 times a week because I had the time whilst I wasn't in lectures and my daughter was at school.
Unfortunatly I finished uni
and started work full time as you can see this makes me very happy! And although I havn't put much weight back on over the last 18 months of working, maybe 4lbs ish i feel all wobbly again. Probably due to hardly going to the gym and having a draw full of bad food in my desk, and oh did i mention I work next to a biscuit factory? Annnnnd wait for it my future mother in law bakes cakes for a living so I am her ginuepig! Yum but so bad!!!
I would ideally like to be 9st but I'm aiming for 9st7lb as I recon this will be far more acheivable and when I get there I can always change my mind. The reason I want to loose weight other than to boost my confidence is to look forward to going clothes shopping and not just buying things that cover my belly. I'm also going to florida at the end of the year, we're going with my fella family and his brothers girlfriend will be there n she one of these girls who can eat anything n is skinny as a rake, its a good job shes nice otherwise id hate her lol. so as I was saying id like to be able to wear a bikinni. also I'm getting married, dont know when, dont know where haha but its always good to get a headstart
So here I am with my tail between my legs ready to start a fresh. I've been back at the gym properly about 3 weeks going 3 times a week, im hoping to up that to about 5 times this week and get myself in to a routine. On the food front I'm hoping to eat about 1500 cals a day i know this is quite alot and more than what MFP says but if im doing so much exercise this should hopefully even out. I've been counting properly since monday and have so far not done to bad, except for the birthday cake on monday but it was a very small slice.
So today I have eatten:
Bagal and extra light cream cheese 255 cals
4 x Morrisons caramel ricecakes 160
ministroney soup and chiabatta roll 354
Which leaves me 731 cals which i might have 2 salt n vinigar ricecakes with cottage cheese on for 130 before the gym and that leaves me 600 cals for tea which is my mums goulash, but shes doing the dukan diet so there wont be any carbs in it n it will be less than 5% fat so it can't be that bad really I wouldnt have thought.
So thanks for reading if you made it all the way to the end. Wish me luck!
Happy CCing!!!
