12 weeks til christmas

18 replies

frankie80 · 28/09/2014 09:45

Just over 12 weeks til xmas and I've gone up a dress size!

I want to at least lose a stone by then, I want to be back into my size 14s.

I'm doing nutracheck to count calories but I need some simple easy steps to take too, trying to stop the trips to costa for example.

Anyone want to join me?

Me! I lost a stone and 4 lbs last year with Slimming World and have put most of it back on. Got a black tie do at Christmas so need to lose the chub.

I'm starting low carb boot camp tomorrow. Want to loose a stone by Christmas. Can't exercise at the mo as have a horrible chest infection and can barely walk up the stairs let alone deal with shred!

frankie80 · 28/09/2014 09:53

I keep meaning to start the shred but I don't, there's always FB, mumsnet etc to surf instead!

I also have a works night out in December and I work with skinny bitches!

I know. The daft thing is I know how well it works. I drop a dress size in 2 weeks.

Will get rid of this bloody lurgey then start.

frankie80 · 28/09/2014 19:54

oh wow, really? That's even more of a reason to start it then!

Hi can I join

I'm about to start level 2 of shred (keep repeating level 1...it's driving me mad)

I lost a stone and a half in the first few months of this year to get to 11 stone 5, it's been up and down by a few pounds since then (11, 8 yesterday following a bad week and period!)

My plan is to get to 10 stone 12 by December, that makes it two stone. I'm sure to gain weight over Christmas so January I want to lose the Christmas weight and a further half stone...then hopefully that's me at target

Trouble is I'm away for my birthday weekend on the 3rd so I'm having a bit of difficulty motivating myself this week (pub on thurs and cake club on Friday )

LizardBreath · 28/09/2014 20:13

I'm in please, id like to shift 5lbs, I NEED to cut the sugar down! These threads really do motivate me, been looking out for one for a while

glenthebattleostrich · 28/09/2014 20:21

I know, I just need to pull my finger out and do it.

I want to be in a 14 for Christmas. Just ate strawberries instead of chocolate so that's a start.

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Hi newbies!

This week isn't going as well as I'd planned. Chocolate cake for example :(

Why can't I ditch the bad habits!

RufusTheReindeer · 01/10/2014 22:10

I am sat with a beer!!!

Going to start a proper diet from Tuesday....that's the theory

It's hard to start when you think you have a lot to lose, a few pounds off gives me the motivation...it's just trying to lose the first few pounds

Roll on Tuesday!!

Where are you getting the cake from? Is it too tempting when having a coffee or having nice stuff in the house

rusmum · 01/10/2014 22:18

I'm in. I need to lose 20 lb all in so as many off by Xmas as poss x

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 01/10/2014 22:21

Can I join too please?

I lost a stone in the summer by doing Slimming World and Jillian Michaels DVDs. I've gained most of it back now, and I'm struggling to exercise due to torn ankle ligaments.

MercuryRising · 05/10/2014 07:19

Count me in! I now weigh 12st 7lbs and feel awful for it. I have just signed up for mfp and plan to do lots of walking to help shift the pounds.

frankie80 · 05/10/2014 07:55

Hi newbies.

Today is WI day. I'm 13.8 :(

The chocolate cake was for the macmillan coffee morning in work. Everyone else was having a bit...

Still struggling to stop the unhealthy eating but today is a new diet week so pick myself up and try again.

I'm going to give the 30 day shred a go too

off to blackpool next week though and that's making me think "should I bother with this dieting or wait til I get back?!"

glenthebattleostrich · 05/10/2014 08:02

Still struggling with a chest infection so can't exercise :(

Was at a softplay party and had carrot cake yesterday, not good.

Stuck to low carb all week too so v cross with myself.

New day, new start. Taking dd Christmas shopping today I think.

LizardBreath · 06/10/2014 15:53

Defo start it, if you are healthy and excersise in the week then you can indulge a bit in Blackpool.

RufusTheReindeer · 06/10/2014 22:18

I indulged a lot in brighton over the weekend

And today

Diet starts tomorrow.....promise

MercuryRising · 09/10/2014 09:26

W.I this morning and I have lost a pound despite a very stressful week. Aiming for 2 next week
