Hi Everyone
I am no stranger to this site and just about every forum or diet on it as I have been a member for many years and tried every diet I can think of. But I'm sure I'm not alone in that
Ending 2014 weighing more than I started it was not nice to realise, especially as in the summer of 2014 I was much less and so I have lost my way and had a gain in recent months. Starting 2016 a similar weight to what I started 2015 wasn't a great feeling either but it was a pretty awful year for me. (2016 was started with good intention but come November I am worse off and have gained 10lb!! ) This is it, no more messing about, no more losing my way, no more 'diet hopping' (she says....followed by 11 months of diet hopping!!)......I am going to stick to the simple science of calories in V calories out.....it really is that simple!! This is the plan that I lost most of my previous weight with so I know it works, I just have to make sure I stick to it .....I have just done another 6 weeks on Weight Watchers and have struggled and I weigh more now than when I joined it so a good indication that it's not the plan for me, so I am hoping to see some better losses with calories....they are the bottom line after all!!
I am armed with my new gadget (now my old gadget but a new one is on my christmas list) ....A Fit Bit Charge HR For those of you who are not familiar with this, its an activity monitor that tracks my activity and heart rate, as well as my calories in, calories out, steps taken, stairs climbed, hours sleeping and if its quality sleep or restless sleep (very interesting results for me! out of 9 hrs in bed, I only sleep 4-5 hrs) distance covered, it can also monitor my fluid intake. So a pretty useful (and very accurate!) bit of kit
Current Stats
The Plan
I will start with 1360 calories a day as instructed on MFP, made up of good healthy foods, low fat, high protein with good carbs and split into 6 meals -
Exercise - I will be staying as active as I can during the day, getting in my 10,000 steps and will go swimming 2-3 times a week. Due to medical issues, I am quite limited on what exercise I can do at the moment but I'll not be letting that hold me back, I will just do what I can
Please come and follow me, support me and help me along the way and I promise I will be here to do exactly that for you too, you can never have too many diet buddies
