9 stone 13

Well, my calorie counting is definitely working!

Breakfast 194kcals
1 large boiled egg 77kcals
2 slices Warburtons milk bread, toasted 92kcals
I Laughing Cow Light cheese triangle 25kcals

I came across an interesting calorie calculating website today. It's amazing how little the difference in calorie intake is between being slim and overweight, in my case 286 kcals a day. To maintain my current weight I need to eat 1988 kcals a day. To mainatain a weight of 119 kcals (my goal) I need to eat 1702 kcals a day. The idea is that you eat 500kcals less than you need a day then over 7 days you will lose 3500 kcals = 1lb of pure fat. So as long as I never exceed 1488kcals a day, I will continue to lose weight. Should be easy!
