Chaz47's Journal, 23 October 2015

I have managed now to maintain my new weight since August 2014 - I lost 79 lbs from May 2013 - August 2014 by counting calories I weighed my food wrote everything down each day had a good breakfast made large pot of vegetable soup divided into portions for the freezer and had one each day then evening meal had more protein and vegetables (half a plate) cut down on rice, pasta, potatoes, bread and chocolate biscuits but on a Friday night I always had my fish n chips (100g chips) from our local shop as my weekly treat, I also made certain of a walk ranging between 10 mins- 50mins most days and did morning excercises (easy ones) & light weights also used my hoola hoop 10 mins about 4 times per week drank 6-8 glasses of water and when I had tea or coffee I enjoyed either a water biscuit or tea biscuit. I have continued to write everything I eat down each day apart from weekends and contued with walking and excercises, I have plenty of my treats each week chocolate biscuits 1 at a time though and still love it when people stop me to say I look terrific. There is no way I am ever going to put that weight back on again, I am 67years old and have yo yo dieted since I was 20years old

106.0 lb Lost so far: 2.0 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
