For the past couple of weeks Ive been hoverin over the 9 1/2 stone mark. I say hovering, as one morning I would be bang on the half stone mark, a couple of days later I'd be a couple of pounds more (even though diet and exercise hadnt altered!)
BUT seems to have leveled out at that half mark now, which is really great as it seems to have been SO much effort to just loose this much weight! Not easy is it guys?!
Of course Ive had a few slip ups, intentional and not - Ive given up bananas, still havnt touched bread or pasta since I started this blog - last week I spent 3 days also cutting out dairy, as I wanted to be unbloated for Valentines day (it worked, but couldnt do it in the long run as I love milky coffee and yoghurt!)
BUT on Valentines day I did join in with a chocolate fondue, with fudge and mini cookies! So I imagine any weight lost during that non dairy, non carbs period was gained in that meal alone!
Im keeping both a meal plan for each week, and a food diary - I find this really helps to really think about what your eating, and also deters you from eating something naughty as you will have to own up to it!
Lots of love and luck - Im going to be stepping up my game to try and loose this last 1/2 stone! J xx

3 weeks (ish) in..
Hello! Apologies for non-posting! The untimely death of my laptop was the cause..
SO - been on the low carb bandwagon for a wee while now - Ive finally lost about 4/5 pounds! There has definatley been some cheating going on - totally threw the rules out the window last week I must admit!
BUT Ive been totally carb free (not even low carb) for a whole week now, and Im feeling much better for it!Finally back at uni too, so have been forcing myself to the gym rather than the apparently useless wii fit!
Im finding energy levels are back to 'normal', and Im able to gym for a good hour without my past habit of thinking that I needed something carby to keep me going!
*TIP* I've learned from a wisened low carb blogger recently that bananas really are as bad as bread and pasta :-( I had been having one chopped into my yoghurts for breakfast - and after the last post when I hadnt lost any weight, I sought her out for advise! Coffee with a sugar is really rather naughty too, but I feel when I get to the point of cutting that out, I really am just being rather obsessive!
REALLY interested in anyone elses sucesses (I need motivation!) and tips :-)
