Weekly Weight Loss Week 31

This week I lost an amazing 3lbs. I hit my Silver Seven target and gotten a bit into the next one. My next aim is to get to 11st and then I'm at a healthy BMI! I didn't do much different this week. In fact, I almost went over my pro points allowance and had to claw it back on the last couple of days. I think this actually helped. I've always found that the more I eat, the better I do at the scales. I think this is because the body wants that food and it helps to keep the metabolism up. I've been taking raspberry ketones I will also admit that I've been taking raspberry ketones. They started off as a product review but I've had so much energy from them that I've decided to keep them up. They're supposed to speed up the metabolism so I'm wondering if they have helped. I'll keep taking them for the next week and will report back how I do. Sometimes the weight goes on the week after It's important for me to be good this week. Som

Tips for Getting Nutrition While Dieting

Get nutrition while dieting simply Nutrition is essential. Your body needs a range of vitamins and minerals to work perfectly. For example, iron is needed to make sure the oxygen passes around the system and calcium is needed for strong bones and healthy teeth. While dieting, it can be difficult to make sure the body gets the right nutrition. It’s almost impossible on crash diets so please avoid them! When on a healthy eating plan, you will lose weight by eating well. There’s no need to cut any food groups out or only eat certain coloured foods. Here are tips to make sure you get the right nutrition while dieting. Eat Plenty of Fruit and Vegetables Most of the nutrients you need come from vegetables and fruit so eat plenty of them. You should get at least five a day and they are great for snacks. Fresh is the best, but frozen, dried and cooked are all great ways to make sure you get the variety in your diet and keep the nutrition levels up at the same time.

Weekly Weight Loss Week 30

This week I lost 1/2lb. I did hope for more but I can understand why I ‘only’ lost the 1/2lb – I didn’t eat enough. My excuse? Actually, for once it is a genuine excuse: my wisdom tooth is growing into my cheek and for the last week has been really hurting and cutting further into the cheek. I should have it checked out but it only plays up every now and then. However, the pain meant that I ate very little. With Weight Watchers, everyone is meant to eat a minimum of 26 per day and I couldn’t even reach that most days. I’m very happy that I lost 1/2lb with all that in mind. What Will I Do This Week? My tooth has stopped hurting and the cut in my cheek is healing so I can get back to eating normally. Hopefully this week I’ll lose a pound to reach my Silver Seven target. I’m going to keep doing everything I have, including tracking and activity. Now that the sun is out more, I’m going to get out with Kathryn in the buggy more. I’m also going to look at a f
