Summer holidays weight loss boot camp

I'm determined to lose weight over the summer holidays and not put it on! It'll be great if I could drop the kids off in September about a stone lighter.

I've decided to try a diet which is low in carbs at meal times and snack on fruit only. I'll do half an hr exercise every day. Either davina dvd or gym. My treats will be things like an ice lolly on days out.

Come, join in Smile

Starting weight 11st exactly

I guess I'm probably not overweight in terms of BMI, but I really want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. I'm quite stubborn and I'm at the higher end of my BMI "healthy weight" and I don't look good for it!
It's just this tyre or rubber ring!

The half bottle of wine consumed albeit in spritzers I don't feel good for this morning. Did perk me up though :)
It's my Birthday! ahem.

Happy Birthday Prolific!! You realise that all cake is zero-calorie rated for today only don't you? Have a lovely, lovely day Grin

Happy Birthday pfb! think we are similar, I don't normally eat enough, and bmi is on the higher side of ideal.

Well I had a burger for tea last night and it was deeeee-lish! Brought my daily cals to around 1800 but I think it's good to vary things and have more occasionally so you don't get too used to living on 1200ish. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it!! I made soup the other day shiny seems like autumn here already! Hope your birthday got better prolific Personal trainer sounds scary mabs good luck!

Woo hoo Shiney! So pleased for you!
Day only got worse I'm afraid after becoming my sibling's relationship councillor and dp didn't come home until very late leaving me to put both boy's to bed myself for the first time- hectic to say the least.
Today is meant to be my proper birthday celebrations does not feel like it!

I had pizza and champagne yesterday and it was worth it!
Today I'm going out for lunch and will consume wine and calorie laden desserts.
Back on the wagon come Sunday!
*huge apologises for my whinge

MABS · 20/08/2011 10:49

Hi all - I'm back from my holiday.

Managed to totally indulge in all things French and delicious. I did eat a lot of peaches with my meat, cream, bread and wine Wink

Back to it this week.

Doubtful that I'll get to my very ambitious goal of 57kg by time school is back since that is 4.5kgs away.... but every bit helps so here we go!

MABS · 24/08/2011 14:49

Dont think french food counts as having calories does it handbag? :)

handbagsandshoes · 24/08/2011 16:58

My thoughts exactly MABS Wink

MABS · 24/08/2011 17:31

t'is true :)

FauxFox · 24/08/2011 18:14

I am without motivation as I have bought new high waisted jeans and a LBD online that have turned up and look fab on so i think I am happy at this weight...for now!
