🎄LOSE IT! 8 Week Countdown to Christmas 🎄

[TheRealHousewife]

Hello Members both Founders & New ❤️

Following on from https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight_loss_chat/5177149-lose-it-october-opt-in-2024?reply=139067760 🍁LOSE IT! October 2024🍁

We are now in the 8 Week Countdown to Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 Do you want to look and feel absolutely fabulous in time for the festivities?

In adopting a few lifestyle changes and food choices you can 👌

If you’re a returner or a new starter feel free to jump right in to reset & refresh to become a healthier version of yourself. These threads are for those who’d like to lose and those who wish to maintain whilst eating a healthy varied diet.

As no one size fits all, members need to follow their own way of eating. This thread aims to offer guidance, support and a bit of hand holding.
We generally have a WOW (weigh on Wednesday) day each week. However post and share your progress as often or as little as you prefer. Do what works for you.

The important thing is not to think of it as a diet (based on deprivation and unsustainable) but more a way of life (sustainable & enjoyable).

I follow a lower carb Mediterranean diet. I intermittent fast and eat twice a day. Im a long time healthy eater and overall I’ve lost 4 stones. After having been on the wrong side of 12st I am currently idling around 8st 10lbs.

Are you in?😊 What food plan will you be following? What do you want to change and why?

Feel free to share your own links, tips & recipes.

1lb off today and a 5 mile walk.

5lbs to go.

A sparkly new thread will be lovely! @TheRealHousewife I hope you're feeling a lot better.

My sprained ankle is improving - although I've now got dry socket, the blood didn't form over the hole after a tooth extraction so the bone's exposed. Had to get it packed at dentist and basically terrified to eat in case the dressing falls out and pain comes back.

B: Milkshake
L: Pasta n sauce (cheese and broccoli)
D: Lentil and red pepper soup, bread with avocado
S: Skyr yoghurt

All my weight loss staples like veg, fruit, nuts and other crunchy things are out right now until this heals. It's pretty dull. But it'll be ok soon.

10 st 4.8 lbs today
30 mins cardio workout
calories: 1572
pretty good day but tired as had a 4am child vomiting wake up call 🤪

@beezlebubnicky I have had dry socket before and it is not fun at all 😖 so painful. Hope it heals quickly for you 🙏🏻

How can it be December tomorrow?! 😱

Down another kilo so 3.7kg since I started at the end of September. It's slow but at least it's going...

It took me by surprise too @PatienceOfEngels 😳.

As @LemonDrizzle23 pointed out on the LOSE IT! December 2024 thread, it is the last one of the year!😱😱😱

@sinamordetrabajo Congratulations 🥳 Thats great progress!

@beezlebubnicky New thread posted ☺️

@Fellsbells &@Skyglimmer well done on your losses! 👏

Menu
Meal 1 - Toasted Gluten Free cob & mackerel.
Meal 2 - Home made quiche and side salad. Pecan nuts.
Tea, black coffee and water.

It's not been a great month health wise, weight wise, mind wise and really glad for a new start and new month.

But looking at my weight tracking app I weigh exactly what I did on 30th October! Even though I'm heavier than a year ago, I'm still 4kg lighter than 2 years ago so getting there.

Moving onto December thread. Thanks @TheRealHousewife !

Happy 1st December & Good Morning! 🎄

You’re very welcome @PatienceOfEngels and I sincerely hope you have a better month and start to feel better! ❤️

Here's to a happy and healthy month for us all🎄

Great update @LegoTherapy 👍. Are you coming to our new December thread 😌

@TheRealHousewife I posted on the wrong thread 🙄

No worries @LegoTherapy 👍

Its weight in Wednesday. I’m 70kg, have been bobbing between 71 and 70kg for a couple of weeks, but definitely my core looks more toned and I’m enjoying fitness classes.

Tits, just realised there is a new 🧵. I wondered why you are all so quiet.

I haven't weighed myself this week and have been eating crap since failing my driving test yesterday. But going to try to be a bit healthier before Xmas.

B: leftover dumplings
L: Pasta
D: Chinese takeaway (I know!!)
S: Skyr raspberry yoghurt, apple, choc chips
