Thread: We've got 10% to go - team challenge

Nat, I do think using a dessert plate or whatever that middle size plate is called helps with the portions........well except if one goes and has seconds!

Spangles, I loved that expression "kamikazeee binge"!! That describes my binge sessions exactly!!!

Lara, love you February goal of controlling your addictive desire! I am working on that too (though I doubt I''ll be able to keep away from the daily weighing just yet! Only when I'm away half term!)

Keeping my eye on you all and still planing my attack on your thread! X

Hello all

Sorry if I've not contributed but I've not been in a good place, my sciatica has flared up again and I just got really really depressed. I just felt fed up with this diet, fed up with my body as its only in the last couple of weeks I've exercised since my back went last summer!!!

Anyway I've had a couple of days of wallowing and now I'm ready to pick myself up and get on with it!!

I weighed myself this morning and I'm 12 6 so I'm still slowly going down and that makes it less than a stone which is a great incentive,

So ladies am going to need support to get on with it unfortunately exercise free!!!

Xx

Well ems.... Don't we all!?

It's certainly not easy this last had slog. It's not as simple as drink water, stick to your packs and walk about for 20mins a day.

Although 810 is just half of my personal current BMR my body is on strike! I would be about 5000 cals to the deficit on a weekly basis, and yet my stubborn mule carcass has got me either staying the same or possibly up a pound this week, which.. frankly... hacks me right off! The only thing I can peg it to, is the water. I've had about 1.5 lts at most per day, which I know is half of what I promised myself. Plus it's TOTM, so I guess I have some flimsy reasons. I have to be more consistent with the water. Ive decided to use 500ml bottles now and drink them over the space of an hour. I don't know why this is such an issue for me, but if I do it, I feel amazing, it's just another one of my weird foibles!

Off to hear my fate...

Hi Hun switch your bottles to the 750ml as you only need 3 minimum for the day and not 4 and a half, it's psychological it seems less of a challenge.

Good plan! I'm off to go get some now!

So i'm joining here now for the final bit.

Challenge start weight: 10st
Original target: 9st 10lbs
Aspirational target: size 12 (9st 3lbs??)
weight left to lose: 4lbs or 11lbs

Omg would love your start weight lol, how tall are you?

Well I have had my naught weekend off do now back to the challenge. 8lbs now to go to target although more would be fab. 24 days to do it off I can before the wedding

I think that there is a noticable difference in days I am content with water throughout and then days when I just drink pints in the evening.

Also saw the cd recipe book at my last weigh in. Some good ideas but it's a lot of money for not a lot! Anyway bought it? Can we post the recipes on here so we (I) don't need to buy it too ? *cheeky grin*

There was something in there with Couscous that looked lovely. Can not remember what it was now though.

i'm only 5'2", so my original target lets me scrape in at a BMI of 25.

now that i'm nearly there i've become more focused on my size and wanting to get to a size 12.

i originally just wanted to get to a size 14, but then i realised that my new size 14 jeans were actually bigger than some really old size 16 (barely worn so not stretched) ones. so less keen on size 14 now, it doesn't take me below my smallest previous size.

I'm thinking more along those lines now. I want to be s comfortable size 10! not so concerned with weight these days. Strangely.

See I'm in a size 10/12 (although i have an 8 jeans from peacocks that fit, they are my happy jeans lol) but it's the numbers for me I'm 5ft 7.5 and want to see 10stone with no point something. Then the idea is to drop to 9.10 before holidays for a safety net.

I havent been by for a bit so wanted to see how we are doing. I am now in 12-14, and I am happy with my size. But, I would like to be a 10, with no point too. Thats the target, to just see a nice round number.

However, I am officially 10.7 and sticking here right now - well fr 11 days, and then after my holiday I will back to kick the butt of that last half stone.

I cant decide whether to do it on CD though, or try to change to slimming world or something?
