New to calorie counting!

[lauryloo]

Hi all

Today I decided to give calorie counting a go. I was going to join slimming world as I have done it before, but having been inspired by the hairy bikers and not feeling inspired by sw this time round, I thought I'd give the common sense approach of eat less and move more.

I want to lose 28lbs and get back to my pre wedding weight, as well as just be generally healthier!

Hi Lauryloo
Im the same as you. Would like to loose 2 stone as well and have decided to give cc a go. I was following sw as well, but just felt restricted and ended up stalling completely!

Maybe we could help motivate each other.. ;-)

Sounds like a plan sleepymum

I'm using my fitness pal to track my calories I think portion control is a big thing for me, I weighed out portion sizes for dinner today and ended up with a lot less on my plate, but still had enough to fill me up

Im also using my fitness pal. Its great for tracking everything!

Im ok with portion size, my problem is emotional eating and every now and again because of stress have a complete blowout!!!

If I had the money I would do something like lighterlife or have my meals/snacks delivered so the choice/options were gone! Think that would help to break my emotional attachment to food.... Oh very deep..lol

Any have tomorrow planned, back in work so a lot easier to control.
And hope to get an aqua class in tomorrow evening!

How are you getting on sleepymum?

In really thinking about what I eat now, I lifted a pie out of the freezer to have for lunch tmw and put it back when I saw it was 532 calories!
