edited October 3 in Motivation and Support
I'll be honest, my food and exercise have been awful lately and I'm feeling fat, sluggish and stuck in a rut. So, I have to lose exactly 1 stone to be under 14 stone (13.13 to be exact lol) and I really want to do this by Christmas so that I meet my 52lb loss (lb a week) target for this year.

To make this a bit more fun I thought it would be nice to start a group of like minded people so that we can support each other along the way, swap tips and celebrate each others successes. Anyone want to join me?

    I'm in! I would love to lose a stone by Christmas! Actually, I'd REALLY love to lose 17lbs to get me to 129, but as my weight loss has slowed down a lot recently I don't think that's going to happen.

    To be honest, I think a stone is pushing it, but I'm willing to give it a go!

    Yay! Glad to see you Shelli.

    So how did everyone get on today? I went a bit over but I've only eaten healthy food so I'm not too worried. I've been ravenous today as well! Think I need more protein tomorrow. I drank enough water to sink a ship so I don't think I was thirsty lol.

    I'm probably going to go over too and I won't get to exercise this evening as we'll be in the car for over three hours *sigh*

    Never mind, my ticker is in place and tomorrow's another day :wink:

    I have had cravings all day for everything! Though I somehow seemed to be under my goal which is a nice surprise.
    I think I need to lose a stone by 10th Dec as I am going away to Germany to see the Christmas markets for a week so I an enjoy myself. But I will be back on track from the day I'm back!

    Being under goal is a great feeling :-D Somedays you just can't win but you can plan for tomorrow to make staying on tracl a litt;e easier.

    I did ok today. I had a light workout day - just the 30DS and a brief walk - but I stayed under my calorie goal. I also sat through the pub quiz without an alcoholic drink:) The weekend is going to be tough as we're visiting family all weekend so there will be takeaways and wine and lots of yummy and not very healthy food, plus I'll have to miss my workouts. My aim is just to.avoid binging really!

    Glad to hear you did OK yesterday despite all the temptations! Life will always throw up a curve ball every now and agin. Just do what you can and if your family are the walking type, suggest a walk after dinner!

    Of course! Welcome to the group.

    So ladies it's the weekend! How is everyone doing?

    Weekends are always a danger point for me because I usually end up gaining what I lost during the week in takeaways and sweets. I have a massive sugar addiction and at the weekend I usually just want to curl up on the sofa with a huge bag of sweets (or three). Also, this weekend the BF is on night shifts so I'll be on my own and boredom is another binge trigger for me so it could be tough.

    I'm going to do my weekly shop first thing tomorrow morning and do what I did last week, buy loads of fruit and veg, bread, yogurt and enough meals to last the week. Thats it. No biscuits, sweets, cakes or dessets. IF I survive that as planned lol, I'm usually able to resist going to the shop for sweets. If I get hungry I can then snack on the fruit and yogurt I've bought.

    I'm also going to spend some time tidying up the garden, cleaning and doing some exercise (run or walk probably) to help stop me getting bored. The wather is going to be too good, to be sitting indoors!

    If you are likely to snack on sweet stuff over the weekend, why not chop up some fruit and make some yummmy fruit platters, they always look so nice and if its presented like that to me I am more likely to want that over cakes/fruits/biscuits!

    At the moment my focus is in excactly the right place and I am on track most days, weekends are not to much of an obstical for me at the moment!

    Have a good weekend everyone! x
