18 days until my holiday…

[18daychallenge]

And I ideally want to lose 10lbs. Now, I know that that’s a huge ask in 18 days, but I’d really like to make a dent in that. Id be happy with a minimum of 5lbs really.

Im creating this thread to hold myself accountable. I’m not going to weight every day, possibly every 3 days.

My aims:
No UPF
IF 11am-6pm
Peloton bike 30mins daily in the PM
30-day shred 20mins daily in the AM/PM
10,000 steps walk outside

Simple, healthy food

I have loose flabby skin from two back-to-back pregnancies with rapid weight fluctuations. I am definitely a binge-eater so don’t want to starve myself. I want to feel satiated and healthy, so am not going to track calories or macros. Just eating my fill of healthy simple foods.

I will be posting some pictures and taking my weight and measurements at some point today. I think for me to be truly comfortable the way I look, that weight is irrelevant. It’s exercise and toning that will help give me the figure I want.

But I’ve never looked at things that way - so alas - I am using the scales in the short term and measurements in the long term!

If anyone has any similar success stories, I’d love to hear them x

I did the Joe Wicks plan for the same amount of time and could really see a difference, I didn't lose 5lbs but I looked much more toned. So it's is possible to make a difference in 18 days. I think the Shred will get similar results.

In addition to what you have I would add in drinking at least 2.5l water and eating high protein.

@Tigofigo Oooh this gives me hope! Did you have much to lose? Yes, it’s really toning up that I’m aiming for in the long run! I’ll check out Joe Wicks - the 30DS is only 20 minutes so I seem to be able to accept that as a daily activity more than anything longer than that 😃

Ok - a few days late.

I’ve done pretty well with diet - no calorie counting, but sticking to meals comprising of mainly eggs, chicken, roasted vegetables, homemade chilli, asparagus, brocoli etc.

Ive limited my eating window to around 11am - 6pm but it does vary slightly. If I’m very hungry, I will move it earlier.

My current weight 9st 4lbs and I’m 5’2. Definitely not overweight, but flabby with lots of fat around my waist, inner thighs and upper arms.

I’ve not managed very much walking, but have been doing on average 30mins peloton bike a day, and a PT sessions once a week.

Weigh day is Thursday so will update!
