ok today is day one of my weight loss and this thread is going to be my diary.
Im 5'4'' and 11 stone 4 (
)and want to be back to 9 stone 4 by 4th june.
As i need to be at ideal weight a little earlier then the actual day ive pretty much got 4 months to lose the 2 stone, so half a stone a month. I dont think i will weight myself all the time as last time i did that i found it off putting. But we'll see!
Im not doing any named diets - im just eating healthily and being sensible. Im also upping the exercise (boohoo).
So here goes. I will try to write down my food and excerise (and weight) as often as can.
WISH ME LUCK!!
DAY ONE (Todays food):
Brekky: cereal with semi skimmed milk
Lunch: Natural (no added bits) Tomato soup, 1 slice of bread and 1 bag of low ft crisps
Dinner: (Going to have) Lean chilli in a low fat chilli sauce but NO rice. With veg.
Fruit: One satsuma, one apple and one kiwi
Water: 5 pints of water, 1 cup of tea and 1 lire water at gym
Excesise: One hour step aerobics class at gym

So today wasnt as hard as i thought it would be, although im a bit peckish now! LOL. I think ive made the right choice in not following any plan and not counting calories - but just picking healthy options and cutting out too many bad snacks.
Dreading the weekend though - i always struggle then. Esp as im at a wedding fayre boohoo
ANYWAY...

Brekky: cereal with semi skimmed milk
Lunch: Natural vegetable soup, 1 slice of bread (unbuttered) and 1 bag of low ft crisps
Dinner: two prawn fishcakes with veg
Fruit: Two satsumas, one apple and one kiwi
snacks:six verrrrry small picked onions and 1 wafer thin ham slice (weird i know haha)
Water: 6 pints of water, 3 cups of tea and 1/2 lire water at gym
Excesise: One hour Zumba class
and ... AND DAY THREE
Brekky: cereal with semi skimmed milk
Lunch: HAM AND SALAD S/WICH with 1 bag of low ft crisps
Dinner: Anchovy Salad and veg
Fruit: one apple and one kiwi
snacks:chunk of chocolate
Water: 5 pints of water, 2 cups of tea and some water at gym
Excesise: One hour Zumba class
I am 5"4 and also 11st4 (weighed in on Monday). My wedding is on the 14th May so really I need to be at target no later than mid April for dress fittings etc.
I lost a stone for ordering my dress but unfortunately have put the best part of that back on so at the very least I have to lose 1 stone or my dress won't fit. Back when I was dress shopping I was determined not to be in a situation when I am under pressure to lose weight for my dress and yet here I am!
I started this week and am doing a week of low carbs to get me kick started (I lost 5lb in a week doing this before). I am then going to follow slimming world but won't be going to classes.
As for exercise, last summer I was really good, going running, cycling to work, swimming, powerplates and the odd class. As soon as it got to October I did NOTHING! I have been sick in bed with a cold this week so haven't done any exercise but am planning to try to exercise a minimum of 3x per week from next week.
I will be your diet buddy if you like crememdecassise as we are in such similar situations.
I am planning on giving up the booze for at least a month hopefully to give me a bit of a kick start. By the end of January, I would like to be around 10st7 and then hopefully losing half a stone in Feb and another half stone in March.
Will let you know Monday what sort of a weekend I have.
I tend to do ok in the week but then friday night - sunday night is a nightmare. Its a psychological thing i think, esp as i always see friends at weekends and wine always comes into it! Were having a group of pals over tomo night so i know i will be drinking - so im trying to just be extra good around that. Cutting out alchohol would just be unrealistic for me so my hat goes off to you!!!
Im doing an hours exercise mon - friday with weekends off. Again, i know i should do it at weekends but ive gone from not exercising at all to 5 times a week so im happy with that LOL!!!
anyway - shall we do weigh ins every monday?? Im not going to post what i eat every day forever, i just wanted to do it at first to get me going
so monday weigh ins and we can chat on here through the week if we cant resist the pull of chocolate, crisps and all things naughty???
Start: 11 stone 4
Now: 11 stone
Loss: 4 pounds in one week
Consideirng im not following a diet or calorie counting im pretty happy with that! My aim from now is 2 pound per week
Whooooohoooooo
MrsStewart - how about you??
Now: 10st12
Lost: 6lb in 1 week
I did a week of the Dukan, really low carbs as it always gives me a good boost. However, from today, I am going to be sticking to Slimming World.
I had a good week last week except for Sunday. I had a few drinks on Saturday and then couldn't be bothered cooking Sunday so ended up getting a takeaway. I am like you, I find that I can be good Monday-Thursday and then tend to go off the rails at the weekend.
I am going to try to have a few weeks off the booze as a bit of a detox so hopefully that will help me to shed a few pounds.
Like you I am hoping to lose 2lb per week but I can't really afford to have any off weeks as I need to have the 2st off by April at latest.
Had a good day today, wasn't tempted to eat any rubbish and made a very tasty chicken and lentil curry.
Starting my exercise tomorrow, I am also going to aim for 5 hours exercise per week.
can i join, i get married 5/5/11, i have 2 stone to loose, i started weight watchers last week so first weigh in tomorow.
You both seem to be doing so well, i hope i pick up the motivation to do more exercise but at the moment i am soooo addicted to just dance on the WII so much fun.
I will check intomorrow after 1st weigh in
well done MrsS - good job!!!
GO US!!!! Right - off to the gym so will check in properly tomorrow
I aim to lose 1 stone, anything more than that will be a bonus for me.. my wedding isnt until 2012, but i want to shift it well ahead of time so i can beat the target, if that makes sense?
i totally understand if you dont want ppl joining in xx
There are loads of us from here on there and everyone's really supportive
Well done on your weightloss Sessa. Thanks for the tip FSM, will check that out.
i really appreciate that! x
sessa - well done, thats awesome. we all lost weight whoohoo!
Im actully doing three exercise sessions per week: Zumba, Ballet and steps - and then topping it up with sessions on JUST DANCE and wii fit in between. JUST DANCE is amazing - my arms kill afterwards.
So its another weekend now - which means another time to struggle. im fine when im busy but as soon as im bored i eat. So i need to plan a busy weekend - but not spedning any money (weddings are expensive LOL)...
so good luck everyone, lets all sign in for weighing on monday!!
I've lost 3 stone using it!
Don't us girls heap a lot of pressure on ourselves hey?
I seem to do ok during the week but at the weekend as soon as I have 1 glass of wine it all goes pear shaped. My hen night is 7 weeks on Saturday so am contemplating staying in til then.
