Well done diane you are doing well, better than me. I seem to be struggling with losing weight at the mo.

I really don't know how this is happening to me; I've tried loads of diets before and always lost a few lbs, the giving up and doubled what I've lost. This time it’s really working.

I had started of with ww but changed this 2 weeks ago to calorie counting, and I mean counting every single calorie. I’m working on the basis that to lose weight I have to eat 1000k less than I need each day. This sounds drastic but if you take into consideration every bit of exercise I do including sitting here typing I can earn calories back so I'm still eating the same amount as I need. This also helps with portion control as I have noticed that when I switched diets I started eating a lot less, but than I always knew I put more on the plate. Especially when preparing a family meal.

I know that the weight loss will slow after a while but I thought it would have done so by now. Fingers crossed it keeps going a bit longer. xx

Not sure what I did differently this week but I lost 4lbs doing it.
