not doing well :(

not done too well on the weight loss front people!! i have an excuse for now though, ive got a throat infection...sympathy plese :P

Day 2

Today I studied then went shopping for food then studied again then went to see grandparents so been a busy day with all the studying i got done...

food wise...

Online today i found some information about working out how many calories to eat per day to lose 1lbs per week and it says i should have no less than 1,200 and no more than 1,400.

Breakfast:
Bowl of frosties (120 calories)

Lunch:
Baked Potato with cajun chiken mayonnaise and some chopped up carrots (350 calories)

Snack:
Fruit scone (220 Calories)

Dinner:
Heinz macaronie cheese and a slice of toast and a weight watchers pudding (520 calories)

Night time snack 1/3 of a packet of microwave popcorn (130 calories)

In total 1,350

Im completely stuffed. Also just finished my 3rd pint of water will prob have a 4th before bed time.

think i need to fit some pieces of fruit in there and maybe cut the calorie intake by 150 calories per day too.

Any ideas or advice on where to buy real popping corn kernels, the kind you pop yourself in a pan? It would make it a much healthier snack.

Thanks :)

End of day 1

Today was day 1 don't think I did the best I could though definately done better than I have the last few weeks anyway so I am proud.

Breakfast:

I didn't have breakfast as I forgot to eat it (most important meal of the day too, shocking!!) so that is 0 calories of my 1,200.

Lunch:

Went to my grans for lunch and had home made soup (about 150 calories maybe??) then ciabatta with olive oil vinegar and small tomatos (god knows how many calories...100 for the bread, 20 for the oil 15 for the vinegar and not much for the tomatos so about 150) and a yummy yoghurt that was definately 150 calories as i checked.

I randomely snacked on tasty bread through the day with no butter or marge. about 100 calories for that.

Dinner:

Baked potato and cheese (apparently 190 calories)

Karin and I went to cinema so I had a weight watchers pudding which is 195 calories usually as I looked them up on tescos site last night and a smaller than usual pick n mix so about 350 calories there (that is the could have done better part)

in total I have had 1,285 ish which is only 85 more than my target for the day which is good considering I was out for lunch then went to the cinema. yey me :) so all in all a day well done.

Look at my headless image hehe isnt it great :P

My starting weight and my target!!

I weighted myself at 730am nekkid like your supposed to :P and to conclude my stats are:

Height: 5'2
Weight: 12 stone 2 lbs (170 lbs) :-O

which gives me a BMI of 31.1 (overweight starts at 25 and obese starts at 30) this is not good!!

My target is to have a bmi of 22 which means I need to lose 49 lbs to get me to weigh 8 stone 9 lbs (121 lbs). At 1.5 lbs a week if I stick to target every week and don't deviate from it, I should be at my ideal weight in 33 weeks (just over 8 months). I need to allow myself a treat from time to time, so I will make my target 10 months.

To summarise I am 5'2 with a BMI of 31.1, to get to my target BMI of 22 I need to lose 49 lbs and I have given myself 10 months to do so.

I need your help!!

Hey everyone,

Emma MacVicar here, I need your help in losing weight. I am planning on using this blog to tell you all my personal stats and will put pix up and stuff so that I have motivation to lose weight. I will set goals and post them on this for everyone to see and that way I am less likely to just think ah well the diet can wait another day as I wont want everyone to see me failing to lose the weight. Its kinda like my own personal support group :) feel free to leave messages and comment on stuff etc. I will weight myself first thing tomorrow and get a picture to put up of me tomorrow too and it will start from there.

Thanks for your help :)

Emz xXx
