@AliceinBunnyland @Thewhalewhisperer you are both doing so well. Yes of course we have to bend the rules 🤣. I really need to try and start doing more exercise. I would lose more weight of I just stick to a 3 times per week exercise.

AliceinBunnyland · 29/07/2020 22:12

Yes but @Happyhappy37 you are fasting so probably cutting calories a fair bit that way. I'd be surprised if you have energy to do any proper exercise!

Hi @Happyhappy37 I'm a bit down this weekend as one of my has died.

I did some body combat yesterday and when I weighed myself on Friday I was under the 10 stone mark so that's progress!

I think I've lost 2-3lb in about four weeks which isn't a lot but it's a step in the right direction.

How are you?

That should say one of my bunnies 🐰 I had two and adore them. A fox took one of them from his cage. He left him behind so we have buried him in the garden 💔

Aaawww sorry to hear about your bunny. So sad. Take some time out to just relax

AliceinBunnyland · 02/08/2020 16:36

Thanks @Happyhappy37 I do plan to go for a walk so I just need to get off my butt and do that. It might lift my mood too!

How are you doing?

Ok that sounds like a plan.
I am fine thanks. Just tired ATM. I've been getting my steps in.

AliceinBunnyland · 02/08/2020 17:04

That's good @Happyhappy37 I think it makes a big difference to get the steps in as it helps you burn some calories

I put some skinny jeans on today and they feel loose so I think I've lost a bit of weight.

DH and I have decided to both try to be more healthy. We eat healthy meals but we both snack a fair amount. We have agreed to weigh ourselves on Saturdays and we also took our body measurements and put them into our smart scales app. I got fewer unhealthy snacks in today's shop by far and when I was hungry earlier I had two apples and a little bit of cheese (tiny).

I'm hungry now so going to make some dinner before I start reaching for less healthy stuff.

I am still going to snack and sometimes eat chocolate though! 😃

I also had a few days off using MFP.

Congrats on loosing weight, you've worked hard @AliceinBunnyland.
I also have a smart scale. Am still doing my fasting, but I have not been eating so healthy. Doing a lot more walking.

It a good thing that you're hubby is doing it with you. Makes it that much easier.

AliceinBunnyland · 05/08/2020 21:17

@Healthywealthypositivity I think I have only lost a few pounds but I can feel it and it's motivating. It definitely helps he is doing it too and he's also trying to quit smoking too!

I'm sure your diet is too bad. When I look at my snacks on MFP it doesn't look great as I have a few snacks every day and at least half of them "unhealthy" but I'm trying to limit to smaller amounts.

As you know, I don't believe in completely denying oneself!

OP posts:
Healthywealthypositivity · 05/08/2020 21:58

Thanks. I have lost something but too scared to step on the scales.
Well one must not deny oneself of snacks 😁

AliceinBunnyland · 06/08/2020 07:48

Stepping on the scales is scary!

I didn't do any exercise yesterday and not many steps so I plan to either do some body combat today or a walk (if the weather is a bit better today)

OP posts:
AliceinBunnyland · 12/08/2020 10:20

I'm definitely putting fewer sugary snacks in my weekly shops, which is progress?

How are you doing?

How are you @Healthywealthypositivity?

Glad to hear it.
I am doing great so far. Haven't got steps in for this week as yet.

AliceinBunnyland · 12/08/2020 19:34

@Happyalwayswinning I find steps a bit and miss unless I do dedicated exercise.

Hello!

According to my scales app I have lost 8lb since 5 July! I think that's exaggerated as my first weigh in was in an afternoon which is usually higher for me! I think I've lost more like 5lb...

I haven't done any "proper" exercise this week and I haven't used MFP but I've been on three walks and I might do some Les Mills today or tomorrow...
