Yikes,, well, since having babies, I've lost my metabolism somewhere, I've gone from being able to eat what I want in whatever proportions I want, to only having to think about food and gaining weight! So, my eldest is almost 7, and I've had another couple of beautiful babies since, the last being 2 years ago. My weight now averages at about 11 stone 4, that was until I discovered how to make (and eat) chocolate fudge, and I've not ballooned to 11 stone 10lbs (I was 11st12lbs last week, but today weigh in at 11st8.5lbs after a week of being sensible with food)! It's a disaster as I actually went on a big diet last year and got back into the 9 stones and was delighted, but that chocolate fudge has embedded itself into my belly and thighs and hips. I'm gutted, obviously, but there's only one thing I can do to get rid of the junk in the trunk, and that is to diet and exercise!
I joined a gym in January and begun running, though at the time I wasn't so desperate to lose weight, I got so hungry from the exercise that I'd pig out on carbs!! Now I can't go to the gym as often as I like as my DH is working away for another 4 weeks, but weekends I'll exercise at the gym, then when he's back for good I'll be there consistently! I'm trying to eat around 1000-1100 calories a day in order to lose 2lb a week, and I've managed to achieve that this week so am a bit pleased!! I already feel like my belly is slightly smaller!
I'm posting everything I eat on twitter so I can look back at my food diary when I eventually lose my weight (I'm @losingfortylbs).
Fingers crossed I can do this again as I threw all my bigger clothes out when I got back down to a size 810 so literally have hardly anything to wear! When I shed the lbs this time I'm GOING TO KEEP THEM OFF!!!!! I'd love to hear from some of you & how you're all getting on and what diets you're all following xxxx
