New Girl's calorie counting diary

[newgirl-x]

Hi
So i thought i'd start a new diary. After being unwell i have put around 3 stone on and i am desperate to get it back off!
My starting weight is 12 stone 3 and i am aiming for 9 stone!

I am going to be calorie counting and using MFP i will be eating around 1000-1200 calories. I really want to lose 2lbs per week but i dont know if this is doable. I plan on walking 2 hours per day as of next week to help me through.

Anyway here goes to a new me! I'm hoping this diary will help me stay on track

Hi!

Just wanted to say good luck with your new diet, are you doing a particular plan or just trying to eat within your calories?
2lbs is doable on that low amount of calories, but even if it is a bit a slower, just remember that slow and steady loss tends to be a lot more maintainable than losing weight really quickly!

Thanks I'm just planning on eating within my calories and doing walking.
Yeh true I guess I want to lose this weight forever so shouldn't be a rush

So today's been a good day!
Breakfast - Special K
Dinner - jacket potato with beans
Tea- weight watchers beef hotpot
Snacks - grapes and a snack a jack thing
Around 1200 calories

Onwards and upwards!

Hey there - great loss first week, well done. Will add you on mfp. 2lbs per week sounds doable to me especially with your walks. The faster you walk the more you burn, if you carry some water in a backpack it could even be a power walk!

 

[newgirl-x]

Thanks for the add on MFP
yeh I'm really hoping I manage the 2lb a week loss!
I see you've lost 10lbs in 3 weeks that's brill!!

So I have survived the weekend so far! However I am going on a fancy dress beer walk today which will involve lots of rose wine!
ive had my breakfast and having a turkey subway for dinner then the rest of my calories will go on wine!
the hardest part is the day after I always get the beer munchies
i plan on going to the gym tomorrow! I plan on going every day this week! Just hope I can push myself to go tomorrow after all the alcohol!
