SLIMFAST AUGUST CHALLANGE

[FeelingFat]

As I have two weeks off this month I will be happy just to stay the same. Although it would be a bonus to lose .

I started SF with only a week or so of July to go so I`m going to set August as my challenge to lose the rest of my stone.
I lost 4 and a half in week one but my hormones are going mental this week so not too confident about weigh in on Thursday! Happy weight loss everyone!

I'm wanting to lose as much as possible this month, got 5 weeks till my hols so it really matters now! Ideally aiming for 14lb loss which makes it 2.8lb a week. No slacking off this month!

 

[Purplebubble]

wow good target, what you gonna do to get down by 3lbs a week

(is fishig for tips lol)

 

[Canadatogo]

I want to shoot for 3kgs this month, to get me to an even 90 (I think that'll be a good start )

 

[RachelM]

My plan is to go to the gym at least 4 times a week and cut my calories by 100 a day (can't slash them too drastically cause I'm only allowed 1200 at the mo anyway haha)

Hi Id like to join the august challenge - my aim for august is to lose 10 lbs - ambitious I know but I have a wedding at the start of sept and I really want to feel a bit slimmer by then!

 

[HAZE]

My husband works in London went to a game shop on oxford street where the guy was selling em for £100 but knocked him down to £90, well worth it though! I have to fight to get a go :0p

well like feeling fat, im having 2 weeks off this month. im on holiday from thursday for a fortnight. im just praying i dont put on. ide like 2lbs off next week though, as that would make me up to 2 stone loss. then that leaves 2 and a half stone to get off before christmas, which ill start on when i come back my hols. anyway, im in the challenge to get 2lbs off then sts.

OH CRAP!!!!!
Help me please!
My second weigh in and I`ve put on....(get ready for it..you won`t believe this...) 6lbs.
I thought I`d had a good week really. Had one day off but ate real healthy....feeling really P***** off!
Any advice girls?

Fluid? thats normally the culprit. was it the same time as last week you weighed in? did you have different clothes/shoes on? other than that i cant think. you could have a whopping big loss next week though. i know its tough, especially when you know youve been good, but stick with it and dont lose heart..

[kimbell]

Thanks for those words Linda.....
It`s really hard when it seems to be going wrong! I did weigh at exactly the same time, place, scales and clothes so maybe you are right and it is fluid. Will stick with it...this damn thing won`t beat me!

Lost 2lb since my last weigh in. Not great, but it's something. I have definitely lost inches though, more telling than the scales. My size 14 trousers are now fitting comfortably instead of me squeezing into them and should be in a 16!!

I think the reason for the low weight loss but good inch loss is the fact that I go to a Curves gym, which focuses on burning fat and building muscle strength (no, I don't plan on turning into a horrific looking body builder!), and muscle weighs more than fat.

I have my next official weigh-in and measure there next thursday, proper scales that don't get abused by the kids! I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks for the tip about parmesan RachelM, I'll give that a go. I have to say though, the savoury cheese bites are also helping if I need a cheese fix!
