Thread: Starting before Xmas....am I mad

Well today is my first day doing the tesco shakes but I can't help wondering if I'm silly starting with less then a week till Xmas, or would I be more motivated starting after?
Any advice xxx

It's 6 days till Christmas. You could lose 4-5lbs in those few days Plus, your stomach will shrink and you won't need as much food to fill you up so you may not overeat over the festive period
Or, you could wait till after Christmas, put on 5lbs and have more to lose.......?

I've been doing this for 5 weeks and have lost 11.5lbs (that 1/2lb makes all the difference!) and the closer it gets to Christmas the more I think 'what the hell' but I know if I overeat and cheat now I'm going to undo all the hard work I've done so far. I've got another 2 stone to lose (minimum) and I don't relish the though of making it 2.5st in January I really wanted to lose 14lbs before Christmas so I had a few lbs to play with but still stay under 12st but I don't think that's going to happen in the next 3 days!

I say go for it, you have nothing to lose except a little weight Good luck!

Thanks for the reply. Do you do slim fast x

UltraSlim, can't stand the real SlimFast! :-)
I look forward to my shakes at brekkie and lunch and then I can sit down with hubby and my 2 girls for a proper dinner in the evening. It takes all the stress out of finding something healthy, nutritious and low cal to eat.
How did you get on today?
