Looking for focus

Hi,

Over the last twelve months I have put on about 12 kg, and need to lose it. I am a member of my local gym and love exercise, except it seems that I definitely consume more calories than I burn, which is not assisted by my part time job at a bakery!!

I just started sessions with a personal trainer who has suggested that I aim for six smaller meals a day, which has been working well over the last two weeks. It just seems however that even though I do the exercise and have the knowledge about what are healthy foods etc etc I struggle staying on track big time and just need extra motivation, especially when the other members of my household leave yummy food lying around.

I guess I joined this site because I feel like I know what I should be doing I just need to actually stick to it and not get sidetracked by over-snacking or eating late at night etc etc when I lose focus :)

At the moment I weigh about 71 kg and hope to trim down to 62.

Hey Sam, welcome to the forum!


Have you ever considered starting some sort of journal to track your exercise/diet? There is a forum for it here: http://weight-loss.fitness.com/f/9/weight-loss-diary if you're interested. This is a great way to get tips on how you can improve upon what you're doing. If you're honest, and you write down everything that passes your lips, you can get a much clearer picture of what and how much you actually eat each day.... It's really easy to 'forget' calories if you have nothing written down. Not to say that you would need to do this forever, but it should help you understand where you're starting point is.
