Four pounds in 16 days

4 replies

I want to lose four pounds in 16 days - diet ending Wednesday 7th August.

This will mainly be through sticking to 1,000-1,200 calories per day and exercising as much as I can. I normally go swimming every morning but now its school holidays the pool gets overrun with kids. Fuckers.

I started this thread mainly to motivate myself but please join and contribute if it'd help you.

Today's food:
Breakfast: Frosties (100 cal)
Dinner: Vegan cheese and lettuce sandwich, crisps, party rings (400 cal)
Tea: Cauliflower curry, samosa, poppadoms (500 cal)
Snacks: Biscuits (about 100 cal)

Today's exercise:
40 minute stroll around the park with the dog (maybe 50 cals burned at a push - was a very slow walk!)

I fucking love Frosties! I'd ahppily eat them every single meal until I got scurvy.

I have about 20g but I don't have milk on my cereals so that saves calories.

Food for today:
Breakfast: Cornflakes (100 cal)
Lunch: Vegan cheese/lettuce sandwich, crisps, party ring, fruit shortcake (440 cal)
Tea: Vegan fish fingers, sweet potato chips, carrots (600 cal)
Snacks: Biscuits (no more than 100 cal)

Exercise: Very slow walk around the park (maybe burned 50cal at a push)

Food for today.

Breakfast: Cornflakes (100 cal)
Dinner: Vegan cheese/lettuce sandwich, crisps, 2 party rings (400 cal)
Tea: Vegan sausages, rice, vegetables (450 cal)
Snacks: Biscuits (150 cal)

Exercise: Gentle stroll (50-80 cal burned)

Unfortunately my period arrived last night. I'd planned to weigh-in tomorrow but not sure that's such a good idea because I have terrible water retention. Hmmm.

I can't even imagine eating tea tonight in this bloody heat.

Food so far has been:
Breakfast: Rice crispies (100 cal)
Dinner: Mackerel sandwich, crisps, party rings (440)

For tea, I might just go for cereals. Either way, I'll try not to exceed 500 calories.

Exercise was a very slow stroll around the park which burned about 50 calories at a push.

I decided not to weigh-in today because of my period. I think I'll wait until Monday.
