New here and new to calorie counting!

[Lizardlady]

Hi guys!

Ive been lurking around this site for a while now and i have finally started my diet!

Calorie counting seems to be the way forward for me, im a bit OCD when it comes to arranging things and i love to be organised and plan so it fits me perfectly, i already have my meals planned out for the week!

Im going for eating at the lowest 1000 cals a day to around 1300, 1500 if needs be but rarely.

Ive been meaning to get my bum in to gear for ages, im getting married in September 2012 and 2 days after New Years i got a shock and realised thats only 84 weeks away and im in terrible shape!

I need to loose 4 stone to be a size 14, ideally i would love to loose 6 stone but i will take my goals slowly.

The looming wedding date has proven to be excellent motivation as i was out on Saturday night with friends and resist pizza, which is my fav food and what im more impressed with i resisted ice cold Fosters which is amazing for me, i am a beer fiend and drink atleast 8 - 10 cans each weekend......

.... I know its terrible for my health and the amount of calories in beer :O so im pleased i didnt give in and have suprised myself with my willpower so far!

Anywho im ranting a tad now!

Im hoping to find some support and motivation here and to keep on track and also look forward to seeing other progress

Red Dwarf is my obsession.... well one of them lol

Organised is good! I have fun when working out my plan for the week... sad... but i love it!

Today ive had 1133 cals and the intake planned for the rest of the week is:

Wed - 1118

Thus - 1163

Fri -1133

Im also doing 60 minutes of aerobics each weekday evening and walking at weekends, i hoping this will help loads as before i use to just get in from work and plonk myself on the sofa and not move til bed time so all this new excercise will hopefully work!
