Weight loss is not easy!

Weight loss is definitely not easy - but I'm not ready to give up just yet. Since my last post I've reached my heaviest yet which was 14 stone 12 lbs on 8th February 2015. On a happier note I've greatly reduced the amount of bread that I'm eating.During February I commenced the 5:2 diet and with a few ups and downs managed to lose an initial 4 lbs.

Since then my daughter got me a FitBit for my birthday this April and I've started to see some more progress, losing another 2 lbs this week alone and clocking up between 10,000 and 20,000 steps each day. Now weighing in at 14 lbs and 6 lbs. I'm using the Fitbit every day to track what I eat and the amount of calories burned, and it has estimated that over the next year, losing at a rate of 1.5 lbs on average a week I'll lose my excess weight of 84 lbs. Feelin' optimistic :)
