Diet starts today!
It is always scary starting a new diet, particularly when you really aren’t sure it’s going to work. My plan is to eat as normal but do more exercise and take slimming aid Proactol. I really want to know if it works so I will be documenting my weight-loss journey and sharing it with you. I hope to lose weight and inspire others to do so as well. I will be sharing with you all the tips and methods to lose weight I discover on the way.
Today (Monday 14th September 2009) was a particularly difficult day as I found out a job I had wanted for months and was lead to believe was mine, was no longer available as they had filled the post. I was extremely angry and upset, hence the cookies! Until that point, I was doing rather well. Doh.
I dutifully weighed myself today, it’s important to be clear about where you are starting from. My weight is 11 stone 2lbs and my BMI is 24.98. I am aiming to lose a stone over the next 2 months.

Here's my weight according to Wii Fit, it's gone up 8lbs since I last used it!!
Breakfast: Small bowl of frosted wheats and skimmed milk. Slice of toast with butter
Lunch: 3/4 pizza
Snack: Half a packet of Maryland cookies
Dinner: Chicken breast with honey and mustard, runner beans and boiled potatoes. Dessert was an apple Muller rice.
Exercise: 30 mins swimming.
Proactol taken: 4 – one each time I ate.
