6 week blitz!

[harrietm87]

I'm getting married in 6 weeks and would ideally like to lose a stone. I may be mad and could do with some support.

My exercise plan is: 30 day shred daily, bootcamp class 3 x week, run 3 x week (2 x 5k and 1 x 10k)
Food: cut out all sweets and delicious things except for the odd weekend treat, cut down on carbs, drink lots more water. I already eat pretty healthily but have a seriously sweet tooth!

Any tips/advice very welcome!

That sounds very challenging! Good luck to you, I hope you stick to it!

I have in the past managed to lose a quite of bit of weight just writing down what I eat in a thread in here.

I want to try and lose a few pounds over the next 5 weeks so maybe I can join you?

Yes please do join! The more the merrier!

I've done ok so far this week - shred every day and 2 bootcamp sessions. Finding it so hard to avoid sweets though! I had a kitkat on Monday and last night was a bit of a fail - I had ravioli followed by an affogato for dinner...oops.

Trying to drink more water and also cycling to and from work. I get a sugar low at about this time every day though so it's hard!

Planning a veg curry this evening without rice.

How are you doing?

I'm trying to do a stone in 5 weeks - for a family wedding where I'm matron of honour.

I'm doing WW propoints - I haven't been a member since the new Smart points came in.

Drinking loads of water - fairly low carb, absolutely no alcohol. Also walking (with the dog) for about an hour a day.

Yesterday I had a mini babybel for breakfast, scrambled egg on brown toast for lunch, baked salmon fillet with homemade ratatouille & brocolli for dinner. Banana, orange and muller light for snacks. Worked out at about 23 pp's.

I've lost half a stone already, since trying on struggling into the dress. Would love to lose another stone, and tone up the arms (it's a sleeveless dress.....)

Good luck with yours!

Btw - I felt very woozy before my dinner yesterday - so I'd probably be told off by various MNers and my mother

I feel fine today though. Already done my arm exercises.

Underthegreenwoodtree woozy doesn't sound good! Are you sure you're eating enough?

I'm using my fitness pal to keep at 1200 cals/day then exercise on top. Last day of shred level 1 today so interested to see what 2 is like tomorrow!

Yeah, I'm fine. Just left it a a bit late to eat! When I'm proper dieting I need to eat by about 5.30pm and get early nights. And had done a rather long, brisk wlak with the dog in the afternoon. It was quite a pleasant feeling actually - it reminded me of Phoebe in friends standing up too quickly and getting a headrush

Continuing with the dog walks and yoga yesterday and today. The dog enjoys it anyway Feeling good actually - probably the lack of hangovers. I was drinking far too much alcohol before.
