Bouti Sheikers! Slackers Welcome

[SheikYerbouti]

Other thread too big.

Right, having lost not one single ounce over the last 4 weeks due to over-consumption of alcohol, I am starting again. I promised you all a new thread, so here it is.

Remeber:

Exercise EVERY DAY. walking, cycling, running, swimming - whatever - JUST MOVE YOUR HARRIS!

MEASUREMENTS can say more than weight. I have lost nothing, but mu clothes are actually looser due to toning up.

Are we up for another challenge for September?

I am giving up booze until the last weekend of September as I drank too much in July and August - so I am going to go for the 7lbs in a month again.

Well done to those who have managed to lose a bit last month!

Aparently those handheld bodyfat monitors aren't that reliable, they vary according to how hydrated you are.

Anyway, I'm back and finding it a bit hard to remotivate myself, plus DD started back at school and I need to get into a new routine. She's on half days for a couple of weeks, I was thinking about doing some exercise but just realise I have to go and pick her up soon.

Please can someone kick my bottom a bit?

I have done 30 mins on the XT again tonight. Ate crap all day though and stupidly jumped on the scales this morning only to find I am 2lb up so the same weight as I was 2 weeks ago I am hoping that will have gone by Saturday though

have lost 2kgs so taking week off
Am crap personified

lol

OOOh, I got an interesting gadget today. It was from Lloyd's - a free £10 Body Composition Monitor (free cos I spent more than a tenner on nicotine replacement stuff), Anyway, you put your details in and it tells you your water content (!), fat, muscle, BMI and how many calories you need to survive a day. All just by holding it.
I probably wouldn't have bought one, but as it was free, I'm quite chuffed with it. Apparently, I need 1777 calories a day on average, so anything less (or burning more), will (or should) result in loss.
All I need now is willpower. I wonder if Lloyds will have an offer on that next week...

hello

Hellloooo! How are you feeling now?

Like a rhino (both in terms of size and skin condition)

Me too, on both counts.
I have been crap since coming back from hols, and seem to have developed ezcema, I think, never had it before except wen I was a baby.

What can we do to remotivate?

I've not seen it...

Haven't seen it either.

I'm doing a challenge on the low carb forum I also use (when I can fit it in alongside MN!).

My starting weight this morning is 10 stone 2. My ultimate target is 8 stone 11. Just putting it in writing for the world to see in the hope that it will galvanise me.

Food choices have been quite good, and have managed some alcohol free nights and cut down on others, so not doing too badly here.

But I still haven't managed to do any exercise/get to the gym ...

Right, have walked this morning. Pedometer says I have done 10,756 steps and tis nly 12 30

I am still fatty, but at least I am a fatty that's making the effort to do some walking. I have set myself a target to not use the car for anything but work. and going swimming (as swimming pool is in next town)

That's good Sheik, just keep slogging away at it and we'll get there!

I'm hoping I'm getting back on the right track myself, as I managed an early night and feel less tired. I logged on to Fitday for the 1st time in a week. Exercise is a bit difficult though until DD starts on full days at school, I used to do it during DS's nap but he's now sleeping in the car during pick up. Hopefully I'll get something done tomorrow though as DD will be away with SIL.

Am just about to have a v small portion of Shepherd's Pie and loads of veg for dinner with the boys as I have to work later

I WILL BE SKINNY

I am going to do this.

I've been useless
Food ok ish too much booze a housewives version of a bender due to emotional reaction being suppressed by alcohol after dps vasectomy... Tragic but I'm over it now.
Got night out in London for brothers leaving do but will take it easy booze wise. Soda and wine for me
Back on track properly Monday new routine.
In laws cooking colossal lamb roast Sunday as they having kids overnight.
Will eat minimal and be honest with her why.
Have kept off 1kg of the 2.7 I lost so not feeling so bad.
Well done to those keeping the faith
My tip of meal planning when you're full of resolve is a good one btw
You can only eat what's in the kitchen then!!!
Right must dash and tidy for aforementioned PIL visit
Aasrghhh
