Current weight: 190lbs/13st 7lbs

8lbs lost so far.

Gym 3 times a week. All cardio based, weekly check-in with a personal trainer. Also once a week gym class of circuits, which burns 1,000cals an hour

Lots of healthy eating. Haven't touched chocolate or proper crisps in over 2 weeks now. No junk food, no bread, no potatoes....

Feeling amazing so far. Lots of energy, skin looks great and getting lots of comments on how healthy I look now.

I'm also working on a goal and reward system.

My Goals and Rewards:

5lbs- livestrong gold subscription - done!

15lbs - go horse riding

25lbs - iPhone or iPod

35lbs- hair cut and night out with girls

45lbs- spa day and new outfit

goal weight- weekend away & finally join the Army reserves.

[Tezzy]

ok ive added takeaways to my list!!!


hmmm.... pizza.... no Tezzy... hmmm...

 

[Tezzy]

and my other rule is..

smaller portions and when youre full STOP even if you leave food on your plate

 

[Pyrrhic]

Oh and not tinned or processed foods for me either. The salt/sodium content is

Also, they put double cream in soooooo many foods!

 

[Tezzy]

tell me about it!! so shocked at the sugar and salt content in everything! we hardly ever have tinned/jarred stuff anyway but i was like when i actually started reading labels!

especially micro popcorn.. the salted kind.. which i used to cook, add extra salt too and then pour melted butter over it too i cant believe i actually used to eat that 3 times a week!

 

[Pyrrhic]

I know what you mean! Since I've been watching what I eat I've been AMAZED at all the crap I ate! I can't believe I ever ate so much! The problem with junk food is it doesn't fill you up so you're always hungry afterwards. I would eat a family pack of crisps and a bar of chocolate in one sitting after lunch

 

[Tezzy]

im also amazed at how much i managed to fit in my stomach. now i eat half my plate and think 'sigh.. im actually full!' whereas before i would eat a big bag of minstrels after my lunch without even thinking about it!

 

[alice&bump]

you're both doig fantastically xx

 

[leedsforever]

and my other rule is..

You know I always crave Pizza... I found that if you just have to have it... Order a Hawiian pizza on skinny crust... That would be the healthiest choice and then you feel good cause you get pizza!!!
