Total Solution Lynne's journey to losing 6stone and running 5k. Countdown to Philadelphia.

[lynneonextante]

Good morning all.
You're right Bee it is positive to be significantly lighter than a year ago. We both signed up at about the same time and I'm 17lb lighter than I was then; much better than being 17lb heavier!
Here's hoping for a good day for all of us!
Going to have a quick coffee and then take the dog out for a good walk in case we get any thunder storms later.

Did 10182 steps yesterday and had 1382 calories. (1382 calories in / 2035 out - 347 over budget). STS.

Day 1 Saturday 18th May 13st 2lb.
Day 2 Sunday 13st 1.75lb - 0.25 loss
Day 3 Monday 12st 13lb - 2,75lb loss - total loss 3lb
Day 4 Tuesday 12st 13lb - STS - total loss 3lb

17lbs is definitely not to be sniffed at, that's a significant amount of weight

Have a good day Lynne xx

Lynne 17lbs is fab - in the time I did exante I lost it all and put it all back up and stayed the same as when I first started with some yo yo 'ing up and down so you're certainly doing a lot better then me - keep it up and those steps are great that you are doing - well done x

 

[Thornhill Cate]

Like you say Lynne, better to be 17lbs lighter than 17lbs heavier and you're heading down again this week too. Well done and keep it up.

 

[x-Katie-x]

17lb is excellent and it will soon be 21 then 28 etc etc - you're doing fab x

Not very good but I did have my 60th birthday celebrations last Friday! 100% TS so far today - chocolate orange bar so far.

Thanks Susie. Still looking good for today. Have decided to restart my day count today. I fly to Turkey on 26th August which gives me 93 days in which to achieve a new svelt like beach body! I won't be able to stick to exante every day during that time but can do a fair stint I reckon. So here goes:

97 days to be slim for Turkey starting Sunday 25th May - Target loss 3 stone (42lb)

Day 1/97 - Weight 13st 1lb

Even not being TS every day Lynne you can lose a lot in 97 days - good on you for giving yourself a target and something to work towards

 

[Susie58]

Go for it Lynne. You can get a substantial loss by then xx

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

Hey lynne
Thats me back from tomorrow too
46 days for a serious amount of weight loss. I would love to get 2st by then, but I would be equally delighted with a stone and a half
Good rant Bee . And sentiments from my own heart too. We just have to keep plodding on with it

 

[lynneonextante]

Not a brilliant day yesterday. Had 1339 calories - 576 of them wine! BUT did lose 1lb, so not all bad!

97 days to be slim for Turkey starting Sunday 25th May - Target loss 3 stone (42lb)

Day 1/97 - Weight 13st 1lb - 6205 steps - 1339 cals in / 2125 out / 214 over
Day 2/97 - Weight 13st - 1lb loss

Hi Lynne, love the challenge. I think putting it in black and white like that will really help to keep you motivated. Three stone in three months is so doable and think how fab you'll feel being 10 stone getting on the plane to Turkey. Come on; you can do this!!!!
