Xmas weight challenge starting today! Anyone want to join me?

[tonicj]

Ok, I'm in. I have a loads to lose. I'll set myself a goal of 20lbs. I told my husband if I lose 3 stone he has to give up smoking for good! So far, he's not giving up anytime soon. Going to dig out the old 30 day shred and get Jillian to help me!

We must not be too hard on ourselves. Why not set yourself a weekly goal of say 1-2 Lbs, starting now. Taking small steps will seem more achievable. I will try to give a few inspirational quotes to help us along the way.

"You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be"

Remember, next weigh-in will be Sunday. Good Luck everyone :Love:

Day 3 for me and doing good. Try to get a little bit of exercise in. I know, I know I hate it too:zzz: Even if it's only a few jumping jacks it's better than nothing!

"I hate exercise but I love what it does to my body!"

Day 3 for me too. Tough cutting out the carbs. I haven't a sweet tooth but today 'I WANT CAKE' lol :lol:

Me too, I started just after a week ago after a shrinking violet wrap to kick start.

No more excuses - tore my ankle badly a few years back, put on nearly 2 stone last year on Prozac ( and it won't come off ) and when I play netball I can't jump as high, run as fast and my joints hurt. So I've gotta get on it.

I won't be weighing myself though as I feel that it can make me demoralised if I don't lose weight weekly so il be looking in the mirror only.

Now off to the gym

I'm in! Been eating like a right fat mare recently. I've put on half a stone since not sticking to a good diet eeeek. I live with my parents & have trouble with losing determination when I know something sweet is in the cupboard! How do you guys do it? Going to go to Tesco tomorrow & stock up on 'elfy stuff! What does everyone have for breakfast? I like yoghurt & granola but granola/muesli is so sugary, could I just add oats or is there another good substitute?

My last stint I had yoghurt & granola for breakfast, one of those Heinz sachet soups & a roll for lunch & a proper meal at night (chicken with salad & coleslaw or baked potato for example), no snacks! I lost a stone in about 1.5 months woohooo! With no exercise either.

I really want to do the Forever Living 'Clean 9 detox' but might wait until Jan!

Quick tip to everyone...just done this on my water bottle to make sure I drink enough throughout the day. It's a 1.25L bottle, I've written 9am-3pm on one side then 4pm-9pm on the other (will be refilled at 3) so will be drinking 2.5L per day. Writing my healthy shopping list as I speak & I'd also recommend everyone to make a BBC Goodfood account & save healthy recipes, it's the best!



Excuse the naked nails & mess, sorry if it's massive!
