Lose 10 pounds

So I found it hard to stick to the South Beach Diet long term, so I decided to be consistent with overall good eating habits and exercise…I’ve lost 3kg (6.6lbs) in the last 4mths, and couldn’t be happier. People have started to notice the weight loss, and I haven’t felt deprived at all: I enjoy my 3x a week exercise sessions (muay thai boxing + circuit work with a personal trainer), plus I’m trying to be more conscious about decreasing portions throughout the day. I let myself indulge occasionally in junk food, this way I stick to a generally decent diet without feeling depressed.

3.5lbs more to go!

...I’m finally doing something about it. Am on Day Three of South Beach Diet Phase I and I’m 3 lbs down. 7 lbs more to go!

...so it’s time to trim down. My weight’s kept increasing over the last couple of years at an alarming rate, and vanity aside, it’s scary for my health. I want to lose 10 lbs in five weeks and do it the right way – eating right and exercise.

Goal is to move more and eat less, and ease up on the refined carbs, sugars and fatty foods. Fingers crossed (and running shoes on)!
