Been a visitor before, and actually just noticed this area of the forum, lol.
Been a while since I last visited.
I know it's fairly quiet, but thought I'd just have a little thread to post updates and stuff.
Looking to lose some weight.
I'm 42 and classed under 'obese', 5'7 and weigh 15st, I don't see myself as 'obese' 'obese' if you get my meaning.
I've actually put on around 1st over the past 9 months or so, I think having sustained a knee injury which meant I couldn't play anymore football has played it's part.
Trying to get back to football but need to strengthen my knee and also set to see physio.
Also looking to watch what I eat.
Now I'll admit it, I'm not going to be a 7 day a week dieter, the intention is to hit around 1680 calories per day (or less), however this will not include Friday or Saturday when I will let go a bit, although do intend to not go overboard.
This is only my second week, I intend to start weighing in on a Monday night at around 9pm and see how it goes, probably starting this Monday (16th March).
I've no goals or target dates, just want to see the weight drop.
Work has been a problem, as snacking was a big issue, but I have done really well, cutting out treats, basically all I have is diluting juice, some light breakfast i.e. crackers/oxo, cereal and something for lunch.
I've also bought Raspberry Ketone Capsules from Holland and Barrett, listen god knows if I've wasted my money, but I've done it now and have them, so what the heck.
Watching what I eat through the evening/night too and trying just to take a dinner and that's it.
I'll try my best and update at least once per week and it just gives me somewhere to keep a record that is 'out there'.
And so it begins..................
