How much can I lose before Xmas?

[offtopooatpaulshouse]

Starting today.

I am 32, was always one of those people who could eat whatever, not exercise and be slim. After having twins 6 years ago I was back to size 10 after not long.

But it appears I became complacent and for the last year I have not been happy with my weight. I now have a blly, which I never had before and bingo wings!

I can just about squeeze into some of my old size 10's, but not all and there are some unsightly bulges. Lots of my old underwear no longer fits and I feel bigger and not at all fit.

Last xmas I weighed myself for the first time ever (other than by the midwife when pregnant) and I was 10 stone so I started diet and exercise. I got down to about 9 stone 5 and lost willpower.

AS of today I am hovering between 9 stone 7 and 9 stone 8. I am about 5 foot 5 ish.

So I have started the 30 day shred today. I am going to try and eat better and hopefully go out for walks every day.

Realistically, whatr can I lose before Xmas? I don't want toset an unrealistic goal, but want to try and push myself as I am quite lazy!

Hi I'm afraid I can't answer as I am massively heavier than you and not done 30 day shred, but noticed your thread had gone unanswered so thought I'd bump for you.

I am starting the 30 day shred today as well - I want to lose 6lb before Xmas - so lets see how we go - in some ways, loss of inches would be preferable to weight loss - would rather have 36" hips and weigh 14 stone than be where I am now..

Hello, offtopooatpaulshouse. i'm almost exactly where you are now, except I was 9st 10 this morning, and some of my size 10s are getting a bit of a squeeze.

Shall we cheer each other on? I'm going to try to fit in 40 minutes of hard exercise a day (2 Shreds, or 40 lengths of swimming pool, or running, or rowing), as well as cut out all the shit from my diet!

I reckon we could lose 7-10lbs by Christmas if we were relentless.
