Good afternoon fellow CC'ers
I'm Kate, a errrr fortysomething (how the heck did that happen) yo-yo dieter. I have actually been dieting since I was fifteen years of age so you'd think I would have got the hang of it by now, but no, here I am again on the weightloss merry-go-round.
This time I am trying to shift about eighteen pounds that I have put on during the past year due to some health issues. Well I blame that obviously, but in reality 50% of that weightloss is where I have been comforting myself with bars of choccie, glasses of wine and cream cakes.
So, I've given myself an allowance of about 1300 calories this time, but obviously this would be more if I did some vigerous exercise. I'm a regular gym goer so that allowance is more likely to be in the region of 1500-1600 on my exercise days. I'm also keeping track of my calorie intake with the help of some weightloss software I have downloaded - far simpler than scraps of paper all over the house.
So that's basically me in a nutshell folks. I enjoy chatting and a good old moan about life, so if you're like minded and see me online, say hi so I don't quite feel like newbie outsider I am.
