Summer holiday, 6 week weightloss challenge

Hello!

The schools have broken up for the summer holidays here and I have 6 weeks with my DC until they start preschool.

Summer is great for me being a little chubby because I live in flowy dresses or gym wear when hiking which is stretchy. But my Autumn/Winter clothes are tailored and far less forgiving. I don't want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe!

So I'm going to do a little 6 week weightloss challenge. I will be exercising everyday. A mix of C25k (I used to run regularly but have failed repeatedly to get back to it), step aerobics, weights and 10,000 steps a day. And just making healthy choices with food, upping the veg and salad at dinner and minimal snacking. I won't be setting a goal weight loss, but will post weekly weigh ins. And hopefully a photo of me in my favourite trousers at the end!

Does anyone want to join me?

Edited to add my start weight is 161.8 lbs.
