Calorie Counting

7 Replies

For the last week I have been doing a religious calorie count of my intake every day. It's really made me aware of what I consume but it has also allowed me realise that it is okay to have a treat a couple of times a week. This week has registered a 2 lb weight loss! I am happy with this. If only I could get the motivation to move and exercise, I know this would be more. My post on here and on craigslist urging fellow big girls/boys to get in to get in touch for group sports has only yielded one and a half (who is soon to relocate to London). I so hoped there would be more interest, but, I guess a group has to start with at least three or more. So, time to plod on!

well done with your weight loss. have you tried looking up a couch to 5k group near you? they are usually free or charge a v low weekly amount. they are very popular at my gym, all ages and abilities join in and meet up a few times a week. it starts with walking and is built up from there. I have friends that joined my gym after doing it and haven't looked back! good luck x

How do you work treats into your plan? Everything good comes in multi packs :/

I buy as needed at a corner shop or a petrol station. So I take a trip out to buy the trip. If I had it at home it would be consumed in 1/175 of the time!

If you have a partner, they could hide the multipack and give one to you as you've earned it, I guess
