For Tomorrow We Diet

Since moving home about a month ago, some of my possessions haven't quite made it out of their packing boxes yet. Until today that is, when I had a bit of a blitz, to try and clear away some of the clutter.One of the items I finally unearthed were my bathroom scales, which I guess I had been deliberately ignoring for a while now, as my weight-loss regime had been put aside for the summer. I had reasoned with myself back in July that I could take a break and enjoy the holidays, hopefully maintaining my current weight rather than gaining, and then get back into losing more weight in the autumn.Well, it seems that my summer of calorific hedonism went a bit too far this year, and I ended up gaining about a stone in weight since my last weigh-in some 8 weeks ago. No wonder my clothes all feel a bit tight.So now I have a job to do, just to get back to the weight I was two months ago. But I'm determined that as of tomorrow (1st of September) I will be back on the calorie controlled diet - with an aim of losing 2 lbs a week up until Christmas. That should take me down by almost 2 stone - which would be really great.

If you get a chance, check out weighins.com. It’s a supportive close-knit community for people wanting to lose weight. With a free membership you can join a weight loss challenge (like the Biggest Loser tv show). You also get a free calorie counter and a personal diet journal. I like it much better than sparkpeople.
