in Health and Weight Loss
I have had a couple of slow weeks during April. The weight seems to want to hang around (not cool). I have decided that this upcoming week is the one to DIG DEEP and have a PERFECT week. My challenge for myself is to do at least 10,000 steps and 8 glasses of water each day, and to stay close (but under) my daily calorie allowance. I will post my weight loss for the week here in 7 days time. Wo wants to join me and do the same? .. I am aiming to drop 1kg in that time!

    I am in !! I am sure if I ate better, meaning fewer treats and exercised more, I could lose 1kg which would be awesome this week.

    LOL garyobese... you should be very proud! 2.2lbs is a wonderful loss... walk around the block carrying a 1kg bag of sugar...then add another and another .. you get the picture ;) For every 2.2 you lose, you lose another bag of sugar!! See you next week :happy:

    Fantastic! If any of us feel like "straying" (i.e. not doing our steps, or wanting to each junk food... think about the rest of us. We might not be with you physically, but we are behind each other 100%

    ok to lose 1lb you must lose 3500 cals a week to lose 2lbs you must lose 7000 cals a week now the first 3500 cals you can cut from your diet your other 3500 cals you can lose from working out so say you work out 6 days a week you need to lose 588 cals per workout! this works for me

    Me please! Its my birthday next week and I'm getting desperate to lose some! Just got my HRM so hopefully that will help as I don't have one of those step counting machines.
    Eish (ouch) ! 3500 cal of exercise and 3500 of calories! But I'm up for it! :-)
