Hi, I have been exercising regular for atleast a month but found that I have began to eat too much to lost the weight that I feel I need to (about half a stone) so I have decided that counting my calories with this 12 week plan maybe a great idea! I have planned all my meals today and if I dont do snacking should be at 1400 calories. I can see now by writing it down that I was eating far more than I had realised! Good luck everyone!

Good luck misspink. Usually, when we discover the problem as you have, the pounds seem to drop away. If I do too much biking or walking it makes me feel hungry, so by getting a fine balance I can stop myself reaching for snacks.
Hi
Thank you, Im trying to ignore my rumbling tummy and push through without eating unhealthy snacks. Wish the house wasnt full of Easter eggs!!
Hi and welcome, misspink

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.
Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.
