So here's the June challenge. Four weeks to lose 8lbs. I'm low carbing, but it doesn't matter what plan or diet you're following.

Who else is in?

I've dropped just one pound this week, I am 14 13. Am continuing to shrink though, belt is in another notch and I've had to abandon some clothes because they are too big.
AF is here so hoping that once she's gone the scales will start to shift again. I am being religious with my exercise, am doing at least 20 minutes every day and I do feel a lot fitter and stronger.

Not sure I'm going to lose another 5lbs in only 9 days though!

febes well done

Hello Everyone. Got back from a few days staying with extended family and was quite nervous about getting on the scales (Tiramisu etc). But it seems to be OK.

Tuesday will be my four weeks complete and I've lost 7lbs so far, so there's a chance I will make it to the '8lbs in 4 weeks' mark which would be brilliant.

I'm really going to try to get that extra pound off but PMT kicked in today and I'm ravenous....

Breakfast: Special K

Lunch: Sushi, Olives and Cashew nuts (PMT!)

Dinner: Weightwatcher Ocean Pie, Peas, Skinny Cow

I am hoping to have shifted another 3lbs when I way myself tomorrow.

febes · 26/06/2010 07:59

weigh

I had 3 vodkas and sodas last night and was hammered!!!!

Am sulking, I've stayed the same again.

Will need to lose a limb to achieve the 8lb challenge by the end of the month now.

Must try harder for July.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 28/06/2010 09:45

I have lost another pound. 14 12.

Exercise is still going well, and am now wearing a size smaller trousers.

Too much booze this weekend though, we had friends staying.

Haven't had a chance to get to boots to weigh myself but will tomorrow!! I have cheated a bit by having 4 small chocs on saturday. Then last night I ordered a chinese and I had satay chicken and crispy duck. No carbs there but I did have the yummy sauce which must be full of sugar. I also had 2 vodka and soda on Fri and Sat night so I hope with all that I have still lost. I have started my period so I feel bloated and yuck.

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 30/06/2010 09:15

febes don't beat yourself up - I've had a few fallings off since I started and still managed to lose almost a stone now in 5 weeks.

14 11 this morning, 12 pounds off in total now

justaminute · 01/07/2010 09:15

June is officially over. I managed to lose 4lb, not as much as hoped but better than nothing.

Well done Alibaba - could you donate 4lb of your weight loss to me? - then we'll both have achieved the 8lb target

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 01/07/2010 17:43

Oh the 12lbs wasn't all in June, I started on the 24th May and lost almost half of it in the first 10 days!

Do we start a new thread for July or just let this one run?

febes · 01/07/2010 17:45

Lost another 2lbs this week so 7lbs in all but only started in the middle of June so I guess it ok I'm out for a curry tonight so I hope I manage to choose low carb and not drink too much wine.
