Lose in October Be Awesome in 2020

[BustedDreams]

Hello Lovely People

There are 13 weeks/95 days until 2020. I for one want to greet it feeling my best! Feeling healthy happy and vibrant!

So following on from the previous monthly heathy eating & weight loss threads, here’s October’s. I’ve omitted goal specifics of a certain number of lbs because as we’ve seen we are losing at different rates or are just happy to maintain.

The support I’ve seen on these threads (and personally benefitted from 🙏) is awesome. I’ve not once seen any unkind or harsh posts. You’ve all been awesome 👏.

Myself, I will continue to:-

• follow a Low Carb Mediterranean diet as advocated by Dr Michael Mosley. It’s great for your heart health as well as keeping blood sugars in check.
• Intermittent Fasting/IF
• Calorie Counting
• Eat Mindfully and address emotional blocks as and when they arise.
• Meal Planning
• Use a tracker such as MFP.
• Drink plenty of Water
• Mantra is I’m not on a diet, nothing is banned, I do sustainable healthy eating.

How do you intend to lose/maintain?

Any tips you’d like to share?

Come on ladies, let’s be awesome 😎

Bless ya @SunshineCake . I share you disappointment. Same thing happened to me when I bought new scales. The new ones put 7lbs on.

You’ve still made massive progress in regards to your head space etc and that deserves 👏👏👏🏅

@MrsJonesAndMe Spooky toots back at ya’ . That’s a nice loss. I’d go for damage limitation if I was you but an eye on still enjoying myself

@cheesenpickles yes I think weight loss is in a self sabotaging cycle is common. See Here and Here. I think eventually you can overcome it but you need to be able to be in the right head space 100% of the time which is difficult.

@cheesenpickles Ways to help avoid self sabotage.

I'm convinced life is like that @cheeseandpickles, bored of being a grown up now

Thanks for those fab links @BustedDreams. @MrsJonesAndMe I'm going to squeeze into a 4 year old's fancy dress and try and blag some free sweets instead of adulting tonight

Well, with these and a broken bone I expected much worse than being UP .3 for the month.
I’m not disappointed, it’s so much better than I usually do (gain back plus more, and quicker).
I’m looking forward to November and improving the status quo.

Ooh my mum's fave in there (oh! Henry)

I've finally had chance to rack and I've gone from 12 stone 12 on July 31st to 12. 1.2lb today so 10.8lbs loss in three months. Pretty low but I'll take it. I can see how iv3 slowed down but the emotional gains have been huge and probably better and more lasting.

On 1st October i was 61kg exactly, today 60.2. I'll take that with a holiday in the middle eating lots. 😅

Happy Halloween :)

I’ve never had a Herseys @fallfallfall ... what are they like? Well done on the damage limitation!

@SunshineCake that is actually fantastic progress! It does slow down the nearer to goal we get. The emotional gains you’ve made will be a life long benefit and you deserve to feel very proud in your achievements!

@stoptouchingthat fabulous!

The November thread is running now.

I'm just under a kilo down for October.

Let's go for November!

Thanks again @BustedDreams :)
