Six week plan to lose 1 to 1.5 stones healthy eating and exercise!Anyone else ?

[Himalayanrock]

I ate a hell of a lot of toast over the winter with butter. Then I paid the price! I have been healthy eating and eating about 300-500 calories less than my rec.intake for the last five weeks and have lost a stone.
Now I feel a bit thinner which is great but realise I have another stone to 1.5 stone to lose looks like harder work !
I am on salads/ low cal deli stuff/ soup/ chicken/ salmon .
I am swimming when I get chance which is not often enough!
Anyone else on a similar regime want to join in to keep us all going together?

Can I join, too? I need to lose 2 stones and might see my crush in 2 weeks - so anything lost by then could help :)

I try to walk 10k steps every day, and try to have 12 hours at least between my last and first food. So far I have not been able to keep that up, but putting this here in writing adds to the pressure!

I would like too loose a stone 1.5 possibly I've started the couch to 5k and been doing 30 day fit challenge, it's.going okay so far. My eating is.what gets Me too. I've upped.My intake of water and trying to.have smaller portion.sizes to.start.with

Hi. Just back from work and starving !
Trying to coddle together some salad and ignore the bread.
It's weird, today, I feel really thin... Compared to before , but I'm not, I'm twelve stone and should be 9 St 7 so I need to lose at least two more stones.
Hi to nudey, cheers and strawberry :)

Hi Himalaya! Today I feel thin, too - though officially I am overweight

Well it means eating healthily and counting calories IS working so just need to carry on .

Himalayan - MFP is my fitness pal it's an app that tracks your calorie intake for the day. It's free, I love it lots!! It's great to see you are the same as me 1 stone down, realistically I have 2 and a half to go as I'm a short arse. We can do this!
I'm weighing in tomorrow morning, I'm hoping for a loss after an unexplained 2lb gain last week.

Think feeling thin was actually feeling empty!!

Enjoying a nice boiled egg for breakfast today. Not quite the same as toast and butter... but I'll feel better for it later. That's what I'm telling myself. Oh yes.

I've also signed up with WeightWatchers Online - my willpower isn't the best when it comes to food actually it's almost non-existent so it's easier to have an allowance staring me in the face!

Fair have you tried a poached egg on toast? I've been having this for breakfast and it nearly feels like toast and butter (maybe I'm kidding myself!!)
I was 2lb down this morning so all good.

I have a wine tasting night to get through on Friday - I'm not known for being someone who would spit out wine but maybe I'll take it seriously and taste not drink :(.

What's everyone doing for exercise? I need some inspiration!

Would love to join in. Lost a stone in a month this time last year, but slid back into old habits of half a packet of chocolate digestives with a pot of tea.

Hopefully I can get back on track and not give in when a bag of Malteasers passes my line of vision.

Today started off well, with Day 1 of 30 Day Shred and Greek Yoghurt with berries for breakfast.

Hi, I thought I'd mention a program I'm on that says eat what you want and lose weight anyway by reprogramming your metabolism .. Anybody else on it?

I bought the lean in fifteen book..haven't cooked anything yet..looked a bit complicated. Lol

What is 30 day shred ?

Hello all!! Can I join ye??

I have a stone to get rid of. I started a boot camp which meets once a week for circuits and weigh in. I was down 1lb this week but aiming for 2 next week.

Fitness wise I am going to get back into running and boot camp. Also downloaded the 7 min workout app today so will try that out.

The 30 day shred with jillian Michael is brilliant if you can stick to it. It's 2 min cardio and 1 min strength and 1 min of abs....it's been a while since I did it. You can get week one level one on YouTube. There are 3 levels.

When I last tried the 30 Day Shred last year I found it really tough - couldn't manage the jumping jacks etc. but I managed the full 20 mins today without stopping, which has made me happy / puzzled!

Mind if I join? I'd like to lose a stone, and have got a good gap of free time in my life to devote to it at the moment. Might get back on the shred if I can bear it...

Hi , can I join ?
Today's weight 9stone 11 . I'm 5 ft .
For years I was around 8 st 7 and it's just in the last year it's gone up and up .
I have a few things to aim for .. Getting more tattoos on my back on 31 st of may do want some weight off plus lanzorote in July .
I have to control my greed and the thought it can always start tomorrow !

I've done the shred before , you do end up hating her and it !
Might have another go though , I like number 2 best I think .

Hi,
I'd like to join you please.

I'm also on My Fitness Pal (MFP)
Started about 30 days ago at 168lb, now down to 160.8lb by diet alone, I'm quite pleased with that but could definitely do better.
I'd like to be under 150lb.
I still call it my 'baby fat' but my youngest are 9 next week so that excuse doesn't work anymore!

If anyone need a MFP friend please let me know I only have 2 friends on there and one of them seems to burn 700 calories doing kettle bells for half an hour (yeah, I don't believe it either but what can you say!) I log onto MFP daily and really need the encouragement.

Hi

I'm on mfp. Happytot. I have no friends on it as I don't know how to add or find people. When I do it wants to connect through my Facebook and I don't want to do that.

I am really struggling today I would love some chocolate but if I give in I will be munching for the day......

I had a look at the 30 Day Shred.
Not. A. Chance.
I have, however, ordered Beginner Shred on DVD...

I was pretty good yesterday . Weighed this morning at 9stone 7 lb 😀
It was 4lb of curry and wine from the night before. Made me feel a bit better anyway .

Today's plan is to try again to keep within 1000 cals and go to a thighs bums and tums gym class.

How are you all doing ?

Hi

You can add friends to MFP by email or by Facebook on the computer but only by facebook on the mobile app, at least that's what I have found.
If you want to add me, my email is

I eat chocolate on my diet and still keep below the 1200 cals. Try the Cadbury fun size bars, they are about 50 cals a bar and make a nice evening treat (variety bags in Aldi).

I've just had a punnet of grapes thinking "it's fruit, it wont be much" but it was 276 calories! and 60 grams of sugar! equivalent to 5 fun size chocolate bars which I definitely would have enjoyed more but would not have eaten because chocolate makes you fat. It's all a big learning experience, I'm sure fruit was 'free' from points when I did Weight Watchers?

Happytot, I found you on MFP. It seems you can add by user name too!

Hi

Thanks for finding me s on mfp! I have accepted you but I it also said my friend request has been sent.....I have no idea who I have asked maybe it's just sending a request back you. As you can tell I am not the best with technology

Not been too good today...went out for lunch and had a salad followed by a very generous helping of banoffi pie.

No matter what happens today I must go for a run/walk.

Hope everyone else is doing better than me! X
