Sarah's first attempt at calorie counting

[kiki30]

I'm wearing a new dress to work today that I had bought in November-it was a bit tight when I bought it and then I gained weight so have never been able to wear it. It's fitting fine!

Next month it will be too big.

Congrats on the new dress fitting x

Thanks SilverMoon. Have gotten a couple of compliments on it!

Next month it will be too big.

Fingers crossed!!

Kicking myself, have to go away for most of the day for an appointment so I had made up lunch to bring with me...and of course went off without it!! Will have to find something that's not too high in cals.

Hello just reading through your diary you're doing great. Love how you manage to get some treats in throughout the day without going over your calorie allowance!

Agreed!! There is a Costa there so I got a panini and will just have to fit it into my daily calories. Was meant to have curry for dinner but think it will be chicken & veg instead.

Thanks a million! I feel like I have to have a treat with my tea in the eve and would prefer to cut back a little in other places. I prob could do with cutting back on that eventually but for now, I think it's helping me feel like I'm not on a diet!

The consultant saw from my stats last time that I had lost weight and told me I had done very well!

Thanks! I tend to stick to mostly the same foods all the time, but haven't gotten sick of it yet!

Thanks. I spotted them when doing online shopping - they were on offer & I remembered from back when I did weight watchers that they're low in cals (cause they're tiny!). I don't think I would buy them again, but they are a handy low cal treat every now & again!

Stuck to my calories yesterday, but have probably gone over today. Decided to meet my husband for dinner after work seeing as though the weather has been so nice - we went to a nice outdoor place. Got the best option I could find on the menu but have no idea how many cals it hand. Not even going to bother working it out!

[kiki30]

On my way now, so probably won't get on here much for the next week or so. Weighed in a day early and down 1.75 lbs

If I don't get on again, hope you all have a lovely week x

Well done on the weight loss - have a great time.

Thanks a million. Will post properly later if I get a chance. Had a nice week, but it was also a bit hectic. My poor mum ended up in hospital and had to have surgery last night, so it wasn't ideal having to come back yesterday. Also have a really hectic week in store at work. Didn't calorie count properly during the week, just did the best I could not to go overboard. Weighed this morning and it's showing a 1lb gain which I'm very happy with. Hopefully will have that off again by weigh in on Sunday. Going to have to work late this eve, so have brought a microwaveable Quorn meal with me for dinner. Hope everyone else has had a good week. Probably not going to get a chance to catch up on here properly until the weekend when I catch up on work stuff.
