Half a stone or Fight the Flab in Feb challenge!

dazzle21

Evening! I've not been to well behaved today, everything was going fine until dinner when i discovered a chocolate melt in the middle desert..at which point my self control disappeared! Normally i would feel guilty about this, but i'm refusing to as by accepting the fact that i ate it, i enjoyed it and am now sipping a large glass of water and ignoring o/h who is sat munching a box of chocolates! I intend to go for a walk with ds tomorrow,power walk around the park, no doubt i'll collapse in a heap on my return as he's getting heavy in the baby carrier!!

i've been a bit stressed out this week and think i'm probably going to have gained weight again when i weigh myself tomorrow, but i still hope to lost half a stone this month

i won't be counting tomorrow's weigh in as part of feb's weight loss anyway, since it's technically still a january week as far as my diet it concerned. so my first February weigh in will be next week

i've decided to go back to counting weight watchers points for a few weeks until my stress levels reduce and i can get a grip on my emotional eating. i'm still following paul mckenna's rules, but i'm finding it hard to stop when i'm full, so at least if i count points i'll know i'm not over eating.

i've ordered fitness coach for the wii, but it's out of stock at the moment, so i don't know when it will arrive - hopefully soon!!

becca I cancelled an order from The Hut earlier as I picked one up while I was in Tesco so you may be able to get one there. Or possibly try Asda online as that site appears to be a clone (well they look exactly the same) as the hut one.

OK, stuff to report!

I have been better today. I went for a long walk, around 10,500 steps in total so very pleased with that. I also bought the digital scales (at last) and weighed in. It was a bit surprising!

Weight - 61.5kg (135.3lbs or about 9st9lbs)
Body fat 25% (the Kellogg's pedometer told me it was 28%ish, who am I to believe??)
Body muscle 52.8% (apparently that's crap )
Body water 51.6% (this I am really shocked about)

I checked it 3 times to make sure. my weight is roughly as expected but my body fat is lower than I thought! I might have it checked by the doctor to make sure, but if so, it's good news! :beer: Although I still want to reduce it to 22%.

Edit: I haven't eaten too well today, since breakfast I've had several chocolate sweets and about half a dozen oatcakes. I'm not in a cooking mood today! Back on track tomorrow. I'm just pleased that I got a good walk in today, it makes me feel better.

I wish my body fat was 25% :rotfl:. Do you mind me asking how tall you are Tara?

becca, let us know how you get on with Paul McKenna, I am dying to listen to his stuff!

dazzle21, well done with your attitude. You ate it and enjoyed it and put it behind you.

I have been so bad this evening, just aimlessly picking at stuff like oranges, chocolate and cheese! Very bad!!! I'm going to do some weights and lunges before bed (guilt) and then get back to the gym tomorrow with a vengeance...

I'm 160cm or 5'3". I'm also right at the top of the healthy weight range for my height and feeling every ounce of it!

My body fat is 33% :eek:

Target is to get below 28% as that is healthy for my height and build. (5'9)

I've not been too good or too bad today, I know i've got chocolate stashed upstairs in my room but i will only allow myself 1 piece a day

Im feeling a bit down today my OH has been a bit off with me this weekend. Today he asked me in the middle of asda do I want some Slim Fast that really upset me because he's supposed to love me for me not what i look like, he aint exactly a painting himself!

Hi all, is it too late to join now its about 55 mins past 12 lol?

I have my best mates wedding in May so my aim is about a stone between now and then; gonna take me a while tho to work my way around this cos i've never actively tried to lose weight before it just happened cos of my job (and it just went back on when i got a boring office job lol). But now im back on track and determined!!!

Anyhoo im quite looking forward to it all oddly enough!!
