Hi Ali, I know you catch up on my posts so I've posted this on my diary thread too...I wanted your advice!! You've had such amazing success, so I know I can trust your valuable advice!
I know you've said I'm doing well, and just to increase my protein so i feel fuller for longer, which I'm working hard to do with the limited amount of protein I like! lol... (just glad I can eat tuna in springwater now!).... and I've worked mega hard at going from NO exercise at all, to starting walking (at least 2 miles every day), Curves (at least 3 times a week) swimming (when I can) and now aqua aerobics this week.....(all inspired by you, Piink and Katie! So thank you!)
But I'm feeling a bit deflated today....you've prob guessed why! And so I wanted to be reassured that what I'm doing is right, and advice from you! Is what I'd planned a good plan for now on??
*Having 3 fairly large meals a day, split up as:
Breakfast - approx 300cals
Dinner - approx 400cals
Tea - approx 600cals
With 200cals for snacks/deserts.
*Try and have protein with every meal to keep me filled up
*Fill up on salads, fruit and veg
*Snack on above and mullerlite's when I'm hungry
*Drink lots of water and green tea (no fizzy drinks!)
*Lots of exercise, at least 10mins of exercise every day - building upto more, try and stick to exercise rota I wrote on here before.
The "no's":
*Cutting down on eating out to once a week,
*Takeaways to once a week/fortnight if I can,
*No crisps
*No bars of chocolate
*As little alcohol as possible & plan alcohol days in advance
No starving myself so I binge later on, no SF that I can't keep, just around 1500cals of freshly cooked food and lots of fruit/veg/salads
Sound OK for weight loss?? Any recommendations??
What do you recommend to get my protein in?? I've been slowly increasing the chicken, turkey and lean ham in my diet, and have now re-introduced the tuna.....i'm trying to cut back on carbs as I know this is what triggers me to want to eat more.
Then the exercise I've got planned is:
Today:
Curves, sit ups and stretches
Aqua aerobics for an hour
Tomorrow, Thursday 27/08/09:
2 mile walk

I just replied to you on Kae's thread lol.
Your plan looks good Lynsey, and I know you are also varying your calories too which helps keep your old metabolism on its toes The most calories I'll have in a day is 1850, but that is on days when I'm at the gym, I vary from 1500 to 1850.
Just remember that as long as your goals are realistic and achievable, you are less likely to sabotage yourself. And from what I can see, your goals are achievable and realistic for you.
Protein wise, if chicken, turkey, tuna and lean ham are what you like, then go for it. The chicken, turkey and tuna are especially good as they are very low in saturated animal fatyuk: lol).

At the moment, I've kind of settled down to 1lb per week, which is what I was losing before I stopped Xenical in May. I've had a good loss this month, but I'm putting that down to restarting the tabs, and getting my head together again lol
kae
gunna be a fatty for ever
ali... my turn please!
I never know weather or not to stick to my cals when i been to gym!! Im having about 1400 cals every day inc days i do gym and swimming. I think oooh i just burnt off 300 cals whats point in eating them again! Im not overly hungry when i get home from gym
so the question is do u eat more when u go to gym?

Because your body needs fuel to burn fuel. I also find that I'm hungrier by the afternoon ( I do my gym sessions in the morning), so if I have say 150 extra calories with either my lunch or my evening meal I'm less likely to have a snack attack.

There never seems to be any rhyme nor reason to my STS , although in saying that when I'm due and feeling bloated I pray for a STS lol

I have polycystic ovary syndrome, and for years I had one, maybe two periods a year ( sometimes none at all). Since I've lost the weight my cycle has become more regular, to the point that for the last 8 months I've had a 28 day cycle. I've yet to decide whether this is a good or a bad thing lol
