was 3.8lb bringing me to 11 stone 0.4lb!
Going to do another week and see how I do, and this time try not to weigh myself mid week ;) And keep up the exercises. Who knows now we have a car at home, I might brave going out to the local country parks to let the boys (and me) burn off some energy and get some exercise. Needed a kind of detox, to get myself out of the bad habits I'd got myself into, and sticking to my fitness pal religiously hopefully will do that if I keep it up for a couple of weeks! Really want to see 10 stone on the scales by June!

Doing well!
On my fourth day of using My Fitness Pal, on Monday I weighed back at 158lb, I've been keeping under my set calories for a 2lb loss per week, and doing exercise to give me extra calories if I eat more. This morning I weighed 155 in my underwear which was better than I was expecting, and I am hoping to keep it up!

Struggling
Well I've been struggling of late to stay on track, so for the last two days I have gone back to filling in my food diary at My Fitness Pal.
I have gone over my 1260 calorie recommended intake both days, but in order to balance it out I have done exercise. One good (albeit boring) exercise is simply to climb up and down the first stair. This apparently, according to MFP, burns up 10 calories a minute. I did two 10 minute sessions today, and my thighs are feeling it so I guess it's doing some good!
Weigh in yesterday was back up at 158lb. I am aiming for a 2 lb loss by next Monday, although would be happy if it was lower!
To stay within my calories, it seems that steering clear of sandwiches is prudent, as I totalled up the cheese, chicken and mayo sandwich I ate earlier to be a whopping 550 cals! So having a sandwich for a "light dinner" after a big meal at lunchtime isn't always going to be a good idea!
Dinner tonight was a chicken tonight (classic chasseur) with added chicken, bacon and mushrooms, served with mashed potato. This was only about 450 calories! I am hoping to keep this up for a week or two, and hope that by then my eating will have fallen into a sensible routine and I will be used to eating sensibly!

New Year, this year I will reach my goal!
Well, it's the start of a brand new year (well, 18 days ago ahem) and this year I am determined to reach my goal of 10 stone. I gained a good few pounds over Christmas, and just after the new year, weighed in at 11 stone 3lb. In the first week of the "healthy eating" I managed to gain 1.5lb, which brought me to 11 stone 4.5lb, or 158.5lb. But 8 days later (I missed the Monday weigh in), I weighed 11 stone 2 lbs, having lost 2.5lb. I do hope to continue the weight loss from now on, and for now, I am concentrating *just* on drinking more water (well, squash, I don't like plain water much), and drinking less caffeine. I am hoping that by drinking lots of water, I am a) filling myself up on liquid more so I snack less, b) improving my milk supply for my little ones, and c) generally being a bit healthier than using 4 or 5 cups of tea a day to replenish my water levels.
Simple changes will hopefully make proper lifestyle changes easier!
First goal right now is to reach 150lbs, and I'd like to do that by the beginning of March. Which is 6lbs away, and leaves me with 10lbs to lose.
