19st 3lbs (269lbs), 2st 2lb lost (29lbs)

Well it looks like I'm gonna be a slow loser, I've always been quick to lose weight on a normal diet  - but getting used to that fact now.  Its great to be back onto solid foods, and so far everything is agreeing with me - chicken, lamb, cheese, bread - all no problem, though I have been careful with chewing and volumes.  Now I'm on solids I have managed to get my calories to 700-1000 a day, and am almost there on my proteins too I manage around 50-60 a day - which means no protein drinks .... thank goodness.

So how am I feeling - tired most of the time, but its still early days, and I've been excercising more, for instance I have been on 4 walks this week of an hour long each and am also walking the school run more often.  I have no aches and pains to speak of and no side effects. I tolerate all my foods really well, and am rarely truly hungry.  Of course, I am still in the habit of always thinking about food, and struggling to get in all the water.  However I'm definately getting there, its a lot easier now I'm on real food, but thats only been for a week, and I am still tweaking it.

Roll on the next month - see where that takes me.
