  • Oooh, was that a private class or is it publicly available? I did TKD for some ten years, would love to try something like that!
  • Yesterday: pass Today: yes X 3, including a short (4.2km) jog/ run ☺️
  • Exercise: yes, 80 mins walking Tracking: yes Calories: yes So happy I can go outside again, loved every minute of my walk! I weighed in this morning and the scales haven't moved, but I'm sure this will change if I can start being more active again.
  • @Geneveremfp You're right - thank you for reminding me! And something I am *very* proud of is resisting ordering takeout yesterday - was having a really not great day and just wanted to do my usual comfort eating thing. Was sitting there with my order all typed in on UberEats but stopped myself (twice!) by reminding myself…
  • No loss this week, which is ok as I lost so much last week. I need to get on top of my exercise though and rein in the snacking a bit.

  • 11 sept: pass 12 sept: pass 13 sept: pass Not proud of the above, and it's all falling on the exercise bit - I've tracked every day and calorie wise I'm more or less ok. As of tomorrow I'm allowed to go outside again after my 14 day quarantine, so can start getting some walking in - hoping that will help!
  • Exercise no, tracking yes, calories yes. I've not given up on exercise, but I am frustrated with how hard I'm finding it to motivate myself to get it done. On the plus side my eating has actually been pretty good for the majority on the month - better than in a long while. I'm cooking rather than ordering takeout, and I've…
  • Exercise: no Tracking: yes Calories: yes Two out of three is a clear improvement on yesterday, and all my meals today we're planned and good quality. Now I just need to go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight and I might be back on track. 😁
  • I'm also on four pass days, but going to keep going! It's the consistency and routine and not giving up that matters (or so I'm told 😁) - let's prove to ourselves that we can.
  • Feel as if things are getting a little out of control here - I'm not getting enough sleep (staying up too late) which means I'm not getting up in time to have a proper breakfast, and things just spiral from there. Today I had neither breakfast nor lunch, just some snacks (nuts and a few pieces of chocolate) throughout the…
  • I am quarantining as a requirement after returning to UK from travelling to a country not deemed safe (Sweden), and the guidelines are really strict in that you are not allowed to leave your own private property for any reason. Also, I live in central London so going outside and keeping totally to myself is nearly…
  • Was so busy today I forgot to have lunch, so my calories were way below. No exercise though, so pass day no 3. This should get easier once I've finished quarantining and am allowed to go outside again; I miss walking! Exercise: no Tracking: yes Calories: yes
  • Off to an encouraging start with a kg lost this week.

  • Weigh-in day today and I've lost a kilo in weight and a cm off my waist! I know how these things fluctuate and I think part of the weight is water as I'm dehydrated, but it was still a much needed boost this morning.
  • Exercise: yes, 30 mins barre Tracked: yes Calories: yes Reflections on the first week: I've already used up two pass days, but I have also exercised four days out of six and that's more consistency than in a very long time so overall I'm happy with how it's gone so far. I'm also halfway through my two week post travel home…
  • From now on whenever I have a bad day at work I will remind myself that at least I don't have to watch out for pythons. I think it will help with the comfort eating. 😂 Another pass day for me. Only a little over calories, but no exercise. I'm realising that unless I get it done first thing in the morning, I find it very…
  • Today will be a pass for me. It's not been a terrible day, but my calories will be way over and I'm yet to do any exercise. It's fine, back on track tomorrow.
  • I'm in. I've started several of these in the past but never followed through - let's see if this time can be different!

  • Exercise: yes, 20 mins calisthenics, 10 mins stretch Tracking: yes Calories: yes - just!
  • I'm definitely going to try this! Tacos and burritos are great for vegan eating but traditional wraps are so filling and high cal for limited nutritional return - lettuce sounds like a much better option.
  • Tough day today and the last thing I wanted to do this evening was exercise - but I did. And *that's* what this challenge is for. 💪🏻 Exercise: yes, 30 mins yoga Tracking: yes Calories: yes
  • Exercise: yes; 25 mins barre, 10 mins stretching Calories: yes Tracking: yes
  • This is really encouraging to hear! I know there's every chance I'll slip up more than three days in the coming month but my real worry is that I'll use that as an excuse to give up completely. Still being here at the end of September will be the real win for me.
  • Hello! I'm a serial weight loss starter with a poor follow-through record. Used to be very fit and active, doing lots of running, martial arts, gym and yoga but all that fell by the wayside about five years ago and I've struggled to get back on track ever since. Every time I re-start I'm a little heavier than last time and…
  • I really need to get back into this... A combination of work stress and general lockdown anxiety has totally derailed me - been living on junk and doing no exercise except the occasional walk. I'm going to be weighing in weekly, but my focus to start with will be mainly on getting more exercise as I know if I can get that…

  • Got a few more weeks to turn this thing around, even though my basic goal of getting into normal BMI by the end of the challenge now seem remote. On the plus side I've ran twice and done yoga once this past week which is more exercise (beyond walking) I've done in a week in a very long time. Just overcompensated on the…
  • I knew this week hadn't been great, but I didn't think it'd be as bad as this... Trying very hard to quash the negative self-talk and just move on. I am determined to see this challenge through and not just give up when things go off track! Highest Weight: 78 kg Challenge start weight: 78 kg 12 Week Goal Weight: 71.5 kg…
  • A day late weighing in as I was travelling over the weekend. Have seriously fallen off the logging waggon these last couple of weeks - have been dealing with a lot of stress, and have gained a bit this week. Not beating myself up about it, but I'm going to make an effort to get back on track this week since crap food and…
  • You've made some good progress in the last couple of weeks though - well done!
