Wanting to lose close to 10kg in time for Christmas

Hi, Looking for anyone that would like to join for support

Height: 5'3
CW: 87.7kg
Christmas GW: 80kg

So, I know 80kg is still high in BMI - but this will be a huge achievement for me and my body shape. I'm pretty fed up of not feeling comfortable in my clothes when seeing so many family and friends over the festive period. A bit shallow - but I want to look better!

Plan

  1. Intermittent Fasting - keeping my eating window between 1-7pm
  2. 15k steps a day - a morning walk and then walking in front of the TV after the kids have gone to bed.
  3. Water Water and more Water
  4. Choosing low calorie treats and letting myself have 1 a day!

Really trying to keep this is simple as possible so that if i fall off for a day, it will be easy to get back on track. I'm also not falling victim to the stacked high piles of chocolate tubs in the supermarkets. I will not buy a tub till December!

Would anyone like to join? We have 11 full weeks till the start of December, and at 0.5kg a week - an opportunity to be at least 5.5kgs lighter.

I'll come back every Monday to share my new weight but will obviously be here in between to muse and hopefully share some nsv's

@Waiting9 6.3kg is great!! breastfeeding a newborn is my tip 😂 Sorry... I wish I had something else to tell you! I've been having porridge for breakfast every day, homemade soup for lunch with a slice of bread, and dinner. No snacks. Walking a lot.

I've definitely fallen off the wagon in the last 10 days or so, I'm back on it again from tomorrow. Will try to get some short runs in too.

My tip is watch what you eat, ideally supported by a controlled program e.g. mine is WW’s, and exercise like a demon.
