12 week xmas challange

Hi all...12 weeks until xmas now, and you can do a lot in 12 weeks! Lots of difficult events, nights out, work do's etc ahead, so maybe this will be something to help spice up your 12 weeks and keep it varied. I personally will be modifying the 12 weeks as some are not possible due to being vegan and on green days...will post up an amended plan, but you're welcome to do your own or follow your own ideas. Either way it will be good to have 'mini targets' to work towards, as its easy to lose track as the days shorten and we look forward to the holidays.

Who's in?? This is week 1, so I'll be reading through my books, looking up recipes etc and thinking forward to next week. We'll run it Mon-Sun, this week being week 1, and I'll post up progress etc on this front page.



I'm going to aim for 15.5lbs off, which will take me to 12 stone. Would be lovely to be at that weight for xmas/new year I'm going to buy a 12 week countdown on Thursday as a commitment to do my best.

Mandlegrot - 15.5lbs (14lbs to go)
Tara44 -14.5lbs (14.5lbs to go)
Sezcamcc - 16lbs (18lbs to go)

I've read my books cover to cover about 3 times this week! 100% on plan so hoping for a good loss at WI on Thursday. Eeek.

Amazing!! I'm on a night shift tonight so gonna flick through books and mags for ideas. I tend to eat thr same things a lot of thr time mainly due to cost and the shifts I work but there must be other options ...

I tend to eat mostly the same things too, especially with fruit..always apples, pears and bananas. So this week I tried to get in more different fruits, especially superspeed so have been enjoying melon, strawberries, raspberries and satsumas. I'm sure you'll be able to find some inspiration for different meals
