As I stated in my update last week I need to eat 117g of protein a day and I wanted to show you two foods I've been eating recently. I was eating Muller Light Greek Style Lemon yogurts which have 6.9g of protein but they are so expensive! I found a great alternative in Aldi which costs about €1.70 or so (I think!) and tastes just as good, if not even better. They're Brooklea Greek Style Lemon Yogurts which have 6g of protein per pot. I've also been eating Ocean Rise Tuna Flakes which are also from Aldi but to be honest these aren't the nicest tuna available and I've only just noticed that these have about 23.5g of protein as they're 135g tins when drained whereas tuna from Tesco and Aldi has 27g so I think I'll be buying them in future. These are just simple things to add to your everyday diet to increase your protein intake. I highly recommend the Greek yogurts, they are delicious!
So my goal for this week was to lose another 4lbs, did I do it...? Unfortunately not but this week I've lost 2/3lbs (the scales keeps changing each time I step on) which means I've lost 19/20lbs which is still amazing for me nonetheless! To be honest I'm not really seeing a change in my clothes yet apart from my dresses and tops, I even fit into a dress this week which I haven't fit into in ages! It was a great feeling I must say. My tops and t-shirts are also loser and I think my chest may have shrunk down, I think I rest somewhere that the weight goes from your chest/along your collar bone and I can definitely see that. I've not yet weighed in this week with my coach but next week I shall have my measurement loss update (if any has been lost!) so I'm excited to see those stats.
My stats for week 4
Total weight loss - 19/20lbs
Total kg lost - 9kg
BMI - 37 went down to 36
I'm not going to give myself a goal for this week as I don't want to feel disappointed as I feel my weight loss is starting to even out now so I don't think there'll be anymore big drops but every pound counts!
Well done you for sticking to it! I have the worst will power in the world!
Well done for doing so well Fiona 😀 I love tuna but these flakes sound a little disappointing. I think Nathan (who likes to do our weekly shop) buys ours from Tesco most of the time 🙂

Thank you Louise! Yeah they are quite disappointing, I'll be buying from Tesco or Lidl in future 🙂
Every pound definitely does count and you're doing amazingly well!
Thank you Yav, feeling quite proud of myself for sticking to it 🙂
I am impressed at how long you have gone without eating biscuits and chocolate. I not sure I can.
I've surprised myself with this too Bintu but it's actually quite easy. I get all the sweetness I need from my lemon Greek yogurts.
wow congrats! my weigh day tomorrow, hope I do as well as you! keep going xx
Wow that's amazing! I'm proud of you too! Well done chick!! xxx
Well done Fiona =). I love fish and tuna is my favourite.
Well done! I'm really impressed. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the review of Aldi's Greek yogs - noticed them last week but usually buy their low/no fat natural big pots as they contain no added sugar. Unfortunately they wont suit the diabetics in the household so I'll have to hide them! Have you ever tried to hide sweet goodies from a D? They got a keener nose than my labrador!
Well done Fiona, keep going! So far yo have made the most difficult, now you have new good routines!

Bought them today - scrummy!
Well, 2 of them are missing & guess what? Nobody knows anything about it! I'll have to keep them in the garden shed.
