Axe the avoirdupois in August aka the 7 pound club :-D

The_Dragon

Well done to everyone who completed the July challenge, and a warm welcome to all newcomers!

Here goes for another half stone challenge!

Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for August! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it

This is a useful site!

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php

You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!

If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Remember - It's 2009 and we are doing just fine!!!

Sign me up Dragon, I will weigh in on Saturday and post my weight! I must be doing worse than anyone else here but here's to August!

Edit to say: I love the thread title too, you clever girl!!!!!!!!

AdrianHi

Sign me up 152lbs starting weight, 147lbs is my target, just 5lbs to go so I must to remember to eat more soon!
Must sound weird, but I'm in a groove of an eating habit that been going on for 6 months+ and I've got to change the way my brain is wired to make this happen, oddly nerve wracking

Did any one else have to look up avoirdupois
Very creative

miss_nadine_x

Thank you

mizzbiz

Okay I have all of you so far! Here's hoping for a really good weight loss month!

LOVE the title Dragon.

I'd love to join you but I'm off on holiday later today for a couple of weeks in Italy. I'm obviously not complaining but it isn't going to help the waistline. :eek:

I'm very pleased to have lost a stone this year & that's brought me within 5lbs of target. I'd hoped to be at target for my holiday & maybe if I'd found these threads sooner I might have made it.

Anyway, I intend to just enjoy my hols, not worry too much about what I eat & drink & then see what the damage is when I get back, which will be 16th August. I will then join you all in September if I may.

Good luck to you all. :hello:

Starting August on 12stone

Ooh enjoy Italy! and either jump in when you get back or yes re-join in September (and let us live vicariously when you tell us about the wonderful food!)
