Yule Lose 7 pounds for Christmas

The_Dragon

Well done to everyone who completed the previous challenges :j, and a warm welcome to all newcomers! (if I forget to put you on the first page list - nag at me until I do :rotfl:, oh and you don't have to let anyone know your starting weight unless you really want to!)

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 December! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it

This is a useful site for tracking your weight, food etc

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php or some people like http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

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 2011 and we will soon be in 7th Heaven

ooo, please can I join you, weight loss has been going to right way but have been a bit stuck for the last month or so. Would be good to have a bit of an incentive to get it going again

My sw is 191 lb

I'll provide my SW after weigh in tomorrow.

kazwookie

I'm lurking to keep me on the right track, and keeping an eye on you all!!! :rotfl::rotfl::D

Good luck to you all

PS According to my doctor, my Type 2 has gone, but it comes with a warning that it may be back in the future!

Hewie29

Please count me in for December want to try and lose as much as poss before I break up for xmas on 21st dec.

ItchyFeet

Count me in please Dragon. I sat out the last month and just ate, so i'm determined to lose a bit before Christmas!

Hmm, also considering trying the couch to 5k program as i really need to start doing some exercise and find it impossible to go out and do something unstructured like going for a walk by myself. Will see how i feel when i wake up in the morning and how cold it looks...

Siren1974

I'm in for the last month of the year too x

Thanks for this ItchyFeet, hadn't heard of the couch to 5k program before and I've just googled it. After a trip to the docs yesterday I might be having to go for a minor op sometime this month, but thinking I might put it down as something to start in January when I've recovered

I've just graduated the couch to 5k program. I can now run for 30 minutes without a break. I'm working on increasing my speed now with fast/slow intervals during each run. It's amazing how the program works, you just need to have faith in it

poppy_f1

count me in, starting weight is 11st 8
will update on fri
would be happy to lose a few lbs say 3 or 4 over the next few weeks then maintain over christmas and new year

piglet74
