8 kilos in 8 weeks (ish)

20 replies

Flurgle · 19/02/2019 09:01

I’ve managed to let my weight creeeeep up to unhealthy levels again over the past year. It has to stop. I’m short and it’s all round my middle too.
I have some key things coming up in the Easter hols so that’s my goal.
No keto. Protein with no carbs makes me feel sick.
Going to:
My fitness pal 1200
Gym (haven’t been in ages)
Cut right down on sugar (last time I had one treat a day like a freddo so I didn’t feel deprived then binge)
Lots of veg.
Good fats. Many avocados

Doable right? Anyone with me?

I weighed this morning too, first gym class in a little while tonight. Need to stick to it as much as possible although i will have some flexible weekends where i already have plans x

8 kilos is 17 pounds.

You can do it in 2 months easily!

Flurgle · 19/02/2019 13:10

That’s what I think.
That takes me into green bmi.

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! And well done already How have you done it?
I am eating lots of veg and not eating half a tub of Ben and Jerries after dinner every day...

Hi All-
How's everyone this morning?
Just managed to skip the birthday cakes at work by nipping to the loo when they were bought round! Got me some extra steps in too!

Mostly I am windy... but already feel happier with myself just for not eating all the crap.
How have you lost so far Pinkrose?

Helpmepleaseeeeeee · 22/02/2019 08:32

I have weighed this morning and lost 2lbs since Monday - not a full week so chuffed with that!

Goldensunnydays81 · 22/02/2019 08:37

Can I come and join you! Have got more than 8kg to lose but I’m trying to break it down into realistic goals! And this seems like a good one! First thing on my plan is to meal plan for next week later today as I need a plan!!

Flurgle · 22/02/2019 09:15

I weighed myself and my 8kg is more like 10 am so annoyed with myself.
But onwards
Well done Help!

Helpmepleaseeeeeee · 22/02/2019 10:05

Thanks Flurgle! 10 is still achievable if you really put your mind to it but even if you lost 8 in those 8 weeks you could aim to do the other 2 afterwards
I have a lot of plans over the coming weekends that mainly involve food and wine so i will only have 5 days a week to really go at it

Pinkroseuk · 22/02/2019 17:32

I have been doing 1.8milea waking eAch lunchtime - cross training 20 mins each evening - cutting lunch out and halving dinner as well as cutting out all snacks!
I'm stuck on 90kg and not shifting atm - reduces carbs has also helped! Not sure I have the stamina to stick at it for another few months but going to have to make myself!

Flurgle · 22/02/2019 18:12

We can do this! I refuse to be huffing and puffing my way out of a sitting position!

Pinkroseuk · 22/02/2019 18:45

Just had a weight in and 89.8 so lost 0.2kg which is not as much as I wanted but a step in the right direction - now off to eat cake for hubbys bday! 😂

Flurgle · 24/02/2019 19:00

Onwards.
