Well last month I totally bombed. I lost nothing!
I will set a more realistic target this month.

no1yoyo = 7lbs

goldenaky · 3rd July, 2008

Goldenaky: 9 lbs

Redlilocks · 6th July, 2008

Yes please!

Redlilocks - 5lbs
Start weight on 1/7/08 - 12st 4lbs

(I don't have a ticker yet!

Would love to get under 12stone by August!)

supersara2001 · 6th July, 2008

I'm easing slowly back into calorie counting, and it's my first time doing a challenge so I'm gonna say...

3lbs

Mixxi · 8th July, 2008

Hello calorie counters! I have been away for a bit but I'm back home now. Only lost half a pound last week but I assume that's due to large alcohol consumption at the festival I was at! Will be getting back on track again so 6.5 lbs to lose.

clarri · 8th July, 2008

Hi all
Started Slimfast but just cant hack the taste, so had success with calorie counting before so am back. Hope its ok to join so late in the month.
My goal for the end of the month is 8lbs.
I will be keeping a journal of my journey.
Look forward to chatting to you all.

Mixxi · 9th July, 2008

Of course it's fine to join at this time.

Welcome clarri!

clarri · 9th July, 2008

Thanks. Have eaten too much today, but only bout 200 over, which is not bad for me. I hope to do better tomorrow. I need to be busy to stop myself overeating. Boredom etc. bbl.

Mixxi · 9th July, 2008

That's not too bad at all

. Don't worry about it. The good thing I find with calorie counting is you can make up for it on other days so you can eat less calories than your set amount the next day or next couple of days and it won't make a difference.

clarri · 9th July, 2008

I know its not that bad, but its only my first day!! My problem is that I dont have any routine in my life. I find it so difficult to follow plans when I am not working, which Im not at the moment. Oh I know excuses excuses! lol.

So thats me for today.
See you all later. xxx

Mixxi · 9th July, 2008

I found when starting out I needed to get into it so had a slightly higher calorie allowance than I do now

. I totally relate with finding it more difficult when you have less to do/no routine. I'm not at college at the moment and I need to resist the urge to eat out of boredom as I have far more spare time right now!

clarri · 10th July, 2008

Hi all
Very good day today. Have managed to stay under my total, and even had a few chips!! I purchased a dietplate today. Some difference in what I thought I could have and what I should have!!!!

Although, I did have some "bits" of roast lamb while i was carving, so maybe not so good there!!! lol.
Back tomorrow.
