Well the last update I made wasn't entirely accurate. I went a bit mad over Christmas and gained about 8 lbs! It took longer than I thought (and wanted) to get back to 14 stone 7 lb. Progress was slow so now I have joined a group. This is helping a lot as I now get access to the Slimming World website which has lots of useful information. The recipes section is particularly good and the syns calculator is handy. I worked out how many syns I used to eat on average and it was slightly shocking. On SW you are allowed between 5 and 15 syns per day. I used to eat 180 syns per day before! No wonder I ended up about 5 stone over weight. Anyway, since joining the group I have lost 1 stone. I stayed the same last week but since the two weeks before that I lost a total of 9 lbs I'm not annoyed. I decided to have some pick 'n' mix yesterday which would have been over my syns but I'm not going to dwell on it. I'd rather that than blow a whole day or worse on eating crap.
I'm still on target to reach my goal of 12 stone by July. That means I need to lose a little under 2 lb per week which I think is achievable. I'm going to join the Uni gym tomorrow as the membership is cheap over the summer. It works out at about £12 per month which is good. Hopefully exercising will speed up the weight loss and make sure I reach my target on time. Below are my weight loss statistics so far:
Weight loss - 48 lbs, (3 stone 6 lb), (21.77 kg)
Weight loss % - 20.08
BMI 25.9 (nearly into the normal range!)
Weight to target - 1 stone 9 lb.
