I've decided to start my own weight loss (let's hope so) diary in a bid to keep me motivated and focused! Plus I get to share it and hopefully help other people.
So here goes!
I'm 23 and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who I named Poppy two years old. Unfortunately pregnancy became an excuse to eat pizza/kfc/mcdonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I put on A LOT of weight but at the time I didn't care, I was completely focused on having a baby that my weight didn't really matter to me.
2 years later and I can't keep calling my 'extra' 4 stone my baby weight. I have tried lots of faddy diets and even attempted healthy eating on my own, all this failed. Being a single mum, evenings were 'my time' where I'd eat whatever I wanted, even when I wasn't hungry. This has to change.
Yesterday I joined Weight Watchers, I plan on attending a meeting every Wednesday. After reading the booklet through last night, I started my healthy eating kick today.
I currently weigh 14st5.5lbs. Ideally I want to be 10st. I'm aiming for 4 lbs loss by next Wednesday! My daily points allowance is 25.
Breakfast; Special K with skimmed milk. 3 points.
Coffee with 'light sugar' and skimmed milk.
2 points
Lunch; Special K with skimmed milk
3 points.
X2 Coffee with 'light sugar' and skimmed milk
4 points
Dinner; Beans on 3 slices of wholemeal (23g) bread.
7 points
Coffee with 'light sugar' and skimmed milk
2 points.
Total points = 21
Points saved = 4
Activity; 3 intervals of ten minutes cardio, 1 hours walk.
