I’ve managed to let my weight creeeeep up to unhealthy levels again over the past year. It has to stop. I’m short and it’s all round my middle too.
I have some key things coming up in the Easter hols so that’s my goal.
No keto. Protein with no carbs makes me feel sick.
Going to:
My fitness pal 1200
Gym (haven’t been in ages)
Cut right down on sugar (last time I had one treat a day like a freddo so I didn’t feel deprived then binge)
Lots of veg.
Good fats. Many avocados Grin

Doable right? Anyone with me?

8 kilos is 17 pounds.

You can do it in 2 months easily!

Hi All-

Just managed to skip the birthday cakes at work by nipping to the loo when they were bought round! Got me some extra steps in too!

Mostly I am windy... but already feel happier with myself just for not eating all the crap.
How have you lost so far Pinkrose?

I have weighed this morning and lost 2lbs since Monday - not a full week so chuffed with that!

Goldensunnydays81 · 22/02/2019 08:37

Can I come and join you! Have got more than 8kg to lose but I’m trying to break it down into realistic goals! And this seems like a good one! First thing on my plan is to meal plan for next week later today as I need a plan!!

I weighed myself and my 8kg is more like 10 Sad am so annoyed with myself.
But onwards
Well done Help!

Helpmepleaseeeeeee · 22/02/2019 10:05

Thanks Flurgle! 10 is still achievable if you really put your mind to it but even if you lost 8 in those 8 weeks you could aim to do the other 2 afterwards Smile
I have a lot of plans over the coming weekends that mainly involve food and wine so i will only have 5 days a week to really go at it

Pinkroseuk · 22/02/2019 17:32

I have been doing 1.8milea waking eAch lunchtime - cross training 20 mins each evening - cutting lunch out and halving dinner as well as cutting out all snacks!
I'm stuck on 90kg and not shifting atm - reduces carbs has also helped! Not sure I have the stamina to stick at it for another few months but going to have to make myself!
