Following her successful weight loss of just over 4 ½ stone to date since January,  Debbie reflects back on what her old diet used to be.

Before
Breakfast : Peanut butter on toast
Lunch : Cheese sandwich
Dinner : Chips, pizza and baked beans
Snacks : Bread with cheese, or patè, toast with butter, crisps and nuts.

After
Breakfast : Weetabix with skimmed milk
Lunch : Small salad
Dinner : Chicken and vegetables
Snack : Fruit or low-fat yoghurt

Debbie realises she still has a fair way to get to her target weight of 10 stone 7lbs by next May. Debbie is enjoying a healthier lifestyle by using the gym three times a week and watching what she eats. She has just completed her first race for life event by jogging 5km in aid of Cancer Research.

It has been lovely in this sunny weather gardening and running and trying to lose the weight . I haven’t lost a huge amount recently but I am still trying . I have lost about 4 and a half stone which is great and feel so much fitter and healthier but my measurements have changed I have lost a lot of inches and do look very different in shape which is fantastic!
 
I am training for the RACE FOR LIFE which is coming up shortly and have been doing the SPIN class at the gym which is one hell of a workout, I am officially addicted! I think once losing the BULK it is so much easier to get up and move yourself and getting motivated is alot easier .
 
Weight loss to me is a mental procedure as well as a physical one and as you begin to shape yourself into the body you want you start to become the person you have always wanted to be.
 
Bye for now fellow bandit followers

The Race

Posted on 19/05/09, filed under Debbie does Weight Loss at McIndoe | No Comments

Hello followers

I am still battling for weight loss and am training for RACE FOR LIFE at the end on June and anyone wanting to sponsor me please go to www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/debbiekent

It is 3 miles, which although not that far, for a former ‘couch potato’ it’s a huge deal!

Anyway - enough about running myself into a red sweating collapsing mess, the weight loss is steady, but has slowed down now. I have lost 4 stone 2lbs which is great, but I do need to give myself a massive kick up the backside! I can easily eat crisps and wine or any alcohol does slip down quite easily too!

However, I mustn’t be too down on myself as my surgeons are very pelased with me because my weight loss is steady and so better for my skin and organs. I did however want to wake up after my op and be 10 stone - but hey ho.  Slow and steady wins the RACE.

Bye for now

Debbie
