A diet that WORKS!!! IIFYM




At last a diet that works for me!!! 
Just weighed in and I've now lost 11 1bs in total. Slowly but surely the weight is coming off & I'm feeling great. 

This week I've focussed on making sure my protein intake is spot on (I'm allowed 10 gms over)  So I've upped the amount of chicken I've been eating, also added salmon several times a week. 
I've even managed to squeeze in a mini portion of fish and chips and Lindt chocolate mini eggs. Result 2lbs off this week.  Yaaay!!



Favourite meal is spicy chicken either in a wrap or with sweet potato.
