My Journey to success!

I've gone in for my first weigh in with my dietitian today and I'm very proud to announce my weight loss of 1.5kg (3.3lbs) in my first week.

I'm so happy with this loss as I really can see now that I DON'T have to cut out carbs to lose weight, I just have to eat smart carbs.

What's so great about my plan? I didn't at all feel as if I had been restricked or starved. I had plenty of variety, and along with my 3 main meals, I had 2-3 snacks a day also.

I'm over the moon and looking forward to another week!

:party:
 
Great Job! I had lost 3.5 lbs last week too and it was my first week! I am in total agreement, I almost felt ashamed when I reviewed my food journal thinking I had eaten too much. I am amazed at how much I can eat and the variety of food...I also discoved that turkey burgers RULE! Keep it up, I am rootin' for you!
 
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm really positive about this new way of life.....and I can totally live with it for life. It's so good to be out of the fad diet trap, which I have been in for the last few years, I really believed that I couldn't lose weight if I didn't do low carb (I mean extremely low like Atkins or X-Factor diets)

I'm learning new things every day and I'm learning to love myself along the way. I'm learning to deal with the stresses of my day instead of pushing it down with food! And when I visualise myself at goal weight I get soooooo excited!

My next weigh in will be on the 21st of April as my dietitian is going away for three weeks, and it's a good opportunity for me to aim for a good loss during that time! I don't have scales at home (it's too tempting for me to weigh every day which I know can be discouraging) so I'll post my next loss after April 21.........but plan to keep this thread as my diary.

:waving:
 
I know about stress and food. I used to have a VERY stressful job and I would drown my stress in fast food and beer...Glad I am over that LOL.
How is it going so far? Keep positive!
 
Things are going well. Although I did have a bit of a stressed out day yesterday.......but instead of pigging out, as I usually do, I had an extra piece of fruit (half a nashi pear) and that was okay......although looking back now, I was still using food to comfort myself, and that's a bad habit of mine.....but at least it was healthier!

Today is fine though, I'm much better and can't even remember what I was stressed about yesterday! Back to work this afternoon, after having four days off. I'm ready to get back into work.
