I'm in again with a starting weight of 12.7

I successfully gave up sweets and alcohol for at least a couple of weeks in June but alas didn't stay the course. I have no excuses coming up, no special days or holidays or anything, so I'm going to stick with it in July. I can already feel the difference with just the few lbs gone.

I'm also walking about an hour a day faithfully (and fast!) and will be back going to the gym 3 times a week

Good luck everyone!

So did you notice a big difference with giving up the sweets and alcohol? Gotta say, giving up booze would be very hard for me. I don't even drink that much, but OH would cry if I didn't share a glass or two of vino with him the odd evening!

Good first day for me. Shreddies with skim milk for breakfast. Egg on toast for lunch. 1/2 a melon for snack. Wraps with chicken and salad for tea. No thoughts of the brown stuff that melts in the mouth and goes perfectly with tea. Or the liquid stuff made from grapes.

Had loads of water and 2 can of vimto light.

I too like to graze. I need to be fed and watered every 2 hours

Well done sharron!! I haven't had any choc either, but I had a sneaky piece of cake. I'm a grazer too.

What's for dinner?

Hiyas! I promise faithfully that I WILL lose 7st by the end of the month (hopefully more!).

Starting weight = 13st 13.4lbs.

I'm cheating and starting yesterday though! I've rejoined www.weightlossresources.co.uk and bought a supply of Alli tablets at nearly £30, so I need to make it work. I refuse to have wasted £40 (by the end of July).

I managed to turn down a biscuit and although I had eaten my lunch and snacks by 9:30am (boredom eating at work), at least it meant I wasn't hungry through the day.

Yesterday's menu:

B: 40g Asda Vitality Cereal + 150mls skimmed milk.

L: Ham & Salad wrap (with mayonnaise - not light)
Portion of Papaya & Mango.

Tewkesbury Mustard Beef - an Asda ready meal - (and vegetables).

S: 2 x Crumpets with jam and spread (not low fat).

Snacks: Asda GFY Pomegranate Cereal Bar, half a punnet of raspberries.

Total for day: 1135
Fat (g): 25.6g (21.1%)

Hiya
Can you post my starting weight for July as 11 st 5 please Dragon?
I'm going to have to make a massive effort the next few weeks as I'm really dissapointed with myself in June.

Love to everyone

It isn't so much the wine itself as what I eat when I'm drinking it and the quantities. And I did lose 3lb when I was off wine and sweets in the space of about 10 days and then just 1lb more in the rest of the month so it does make a difference to me....

that said I had an ice lolly today - it was just so hot!

Can you add me too Dragon. 11st 3 - OK to put on first page. Going away on 29th so last weigh in will be then.

Good luck everyone! :beer:

Hi can I join the July challenge?

My start weight is 204 lbs (14 stones and 8 lbs).

I'd like to get to under 14 stone by the end of July (but 7lbs would do nicely ).

I'm going to calorie count and increase my excersise levels.
