Morning everyone
Just a quick post to introduce myself. I'm Angel, 5'10 and currently weigh 14stne 5 (5.6 to be exact...damn these electronic scales! lol) and am hoping to get to around 13/12 stone eventually. My husband and I are currently having a weight loss competition before a Dec holiday to Berlin
. It has given us both an incentive to loose weight and generally feel a bit better about ourselves.
I've was just under 15 stone 3 weeks ago so am quite pleased with my progress. I had originally hoped to start lipotrim or another VLCD but to be honest I just couldn't drink the shakes. Has anyone else had that problem? A friend luckily gave me a few to try before I bought any, they tasted ok but that wheaty aftertaste turned my stomach. Annoying, cos I've heard to many great success stories !
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else was following their own diet. I have dieted successfully in the past and have good self motivation (although I'm an "all or nothing" dieter-if I give in to temptation I find it hard to get back on track so am better being very strict with myself). Unfortunately that kind of mind set isn't too healthy and when I'm not in diet mode I tend to pile it all back on again, more so recently after the sudden death of my Dad.
Is there anyone else that is sticking to a very low fat diet? I do watch calories but tend to look more at fat content. I probably don't eat enough during the day but I never feel hungry and energy levels are good. Yesterday for example I had some fruit for breakfast, carrot sticks for a snack, lunch was a pitta bread and ham, and dinner the WW spaghetti bolognaise. Loads of water in between.
I'm also doing a lot of exercise and we've just bought ourselves bikes as a treat. My hubbie's doing well too and the "competition" is spurring us both on.
Had better get off to work, but just wanted to say hello, introduce myself and see if there were others out there "going it alone" so to speak. Would be good to chat.
Cheers
