It's flaming June. Join the Slenderistas to burn off the calories and look HOT this month by losing 7lbs

[BitOutOfPractice]

You know I've jinxed the weather this month with that thread title

Here's a link to May's Thread

Let's lose the Lindas. All welcome as we try and shift 7lbs in a month

I’m joking too. Been losing and gaining the same weight for a few years.

Starting weight 13st 8lbs. Top of healthy BMI is 12 st5.

Muddy is ADF supposed to be 500 on fast days? I thought it was supposed to be alternative 800-1000 days. 500 every other day sounds rough. I bet your method's very effective, especially doing it whilst you're still breastfeeding.

Maj sounds like a top night I completely agree on bacon and pizza, that's definitely what you need on 3hrs sleep!

Lucked, presuming you meant you were joining, rather than pulling our leg... Welcome!

I'm sure the scales aren't stuck fatball, I find it takes a couple of days to see results on the scales. I was saying pretty much the same thing a couple of weeks ago and then bam! It dropped off, very strange. Fingers crossed you see a bit of a drop very soon.

And you really need to change your name btw!

Quim....slow cooker...

I do try to have something easy for a Thursday but my domesticity is some way away from slow cooking

TV what about a sanctioned snack that you take with you to take the edge off so that you can bypass the fridge?

Weekends I eat very similarly - ie low-carbing. But with added wine. I log it all and definitely don't go over my tdee on weekdays so I shouldn't be doing too much damage, but I know my body tends to stall when alcohol is involved, no matter how low the calories.

Hairspray thanks for the tip. I had heard of that being recommend on the low-carb forum as it can be an issue with LC, must get some.

Don't go over my tdee on weekend days, that should say!

You need to hone your domestic skills TV. It's what the ladies like dontcha know!

TV slow cooking is literally the easiest form of cooking, you just bung a load of stuff in, turn it on and leave it and it comes out delicious because it's all been melding and stewing for hours! Let me know if you want to explore it, I'll give you some tips and I'm sure the others will too. And as BOOP says, you'll be a right chick magnet if your beef casserole melts in the mouth

What is your normal evening meal go-to at the moment?

Hi! Can I join. I lost about 20lbs a couple of years ago and have happily stayed floating around 146lbs since then. Decided the start of the week that I would like to shift another half stone, so started on 16:8, basically skipping breakfast and having a healthy lunch, dinner and pre bed snack. I've lost 3lbs this week so I'm made up. I go on holiday a week today so would like to just stay on track till the , have the week off then get back on it!

Welcome to all the new faces. This thread has been such a great help for me. I hope it is for you too.

Right. June plan.

Starting weight this morning was 10 11. Aiming for 10 7 by the time I go away (to give me a bit of room to indulge while on holiday.)

Food - back on the low sugar, no snacking and logging everything on mfp aiming for 1200 cals. Also a bit of a nod towards 16:8. No food after dinner (usually eat by 7pm) and late breakfast (11am if I can last but more likely 10.30)

Exercise - struggling with this due to dodgy Achilles so my priority is to rest that properly and fix it. I WILL ice it every day and do my exercises

I am massively struggling with not being able to run. Physically I feel flabby, achy and stiff. Mentally I am a bit anxious and I'm not sleeping very well. I hadn't factored in the loss of the support network I get from my running friends. I've known them 10 years and they know me probably better than my family. We have arranged the odd coffee and get together but it's not the same.

I'm going to arrange to go bike riding with them this weekend and meet another friend for a long walk.

It feels good to have a plan

I'm in no hurry to up the magnetism right now....

I am cooking and not doing ready meals and having lots of salad and veg so I don't feel too bad most days. Mum and aunt also like to pass on frozen home cooked stuff which I graciously accept.

However this evening is first trip back to my old local so dinner will be provided by KP and come salted in a blue bag.....Will leave next weigh in until sunday

Starting June at 12st 2.2lb which is approximately what I started at in May.

A couple of obstacles in the form of dd's birthday next Saturday when I've promised to take her to Kaspas I think I'll count this as lunch in the hopes of limiting the overall number of calories consumed. Then on the Monday when she wants to try a Japanese restaurant where you order a number of different dishes each. No idea what that'll add up to.

I have to admit to not having the best of starts having bought a bottle of Bucks Fizz on my way home However, it's a lovely day, it's the weekend and, after working 9 days straight, I've got the weekend off

I've already eaten way too much today. I'm clearly sabotaging myself, which is ridiculous. The only way I'm going to be able to stay under calories is to skip dinner. Bah. :/

quim I had heard that alternate day fasting was 1000cal but when I googled it recently, every website said 500 so I reckon if I aim for 700ish its not a disaster if I go over a bit sometimes, and great if I don't. I went a bit over my calories today because DH made me a mega bacon sandwich instead of the healthy breakfast I had planned, and I was too weak to change my other planned meals

I've also got a hen do this weekend with sushi, drinking and afternoon tea but will be back on it as soon as I'm home!!

Today is screwed. Started well, but the hangover won and I smacked for England this afternoon. Oh well - tomorrow is another day.

My like warm experiment with 16:8 seemed to go well last week, so I'll try it again next week, but no ready to commit to weekends yet!

Welcome newbies - you're going to love it here, I know I do!

.

Snacked. I snacked for England! There was no smacking involved

I have the song "Smack That" in my head now :)

Hangovers need feeding. Fact.

Joining please! Lost 14lb in May, hurray! Would love to lose another stone in June. I go back to work at the end of the month after a year on maternity leave and would love to have to new clothes to wear! I’m following Slimming World, trying not to eat between meals unless I’m really really hungry, and trying to drink lots of water.

June is my favourite month, it’s always been my favourite month and I WILL LOSE WEIGHT THIS MONTH. I wrote something very similar to this on here last June .

Thank you for the shiny new thread BOOP

Happy June to everyone and welcome newbies.

14lbs Gablexy? I'm claiming 7 I of those for me.

Can I join in? Stuck at 10st 13.5, would love to get to 10st and a healthy BMI but even half a stone off before hols would be great - I started November 2016 at 12st 10. Need to ditch wine - bloaty + carb munching hangovers are crap 💩

10 8 this morning
Had what I will call a sustainably good day yesterday.
