Two Stone Gone

January was a crap month diet-wise.  Three pounds was all I managed to lose, however this week I tried something different.

I have been following the principles of the GI diet and calorie counting.  I felt that in terms of calorie counting that 1500 calories a day was a good amount to aim for and also realistic.  I joined up with Weight Loss Resources for their free three day trial and they confirmed that approx 1500 is good amount of calories to aim for each day if you would like to lose 2 pounds a week.

And ta da!  One week of following this plan I have lost two pounds and more importantly I now weigh 12.5 - which means I have lost two stone!  I feels like it has taken ages to shift this last stone, but I think I  now have a better method of dieting and I know that I really need to do more exercise than just walking everywhere...

Glad that first two stone are out of the way, from here onwards this is new territory - in my adult life the lightest I have ever known myself to be is 12.7.  I wonder what the 11's feel like? :-)
