Must NOT munch in March (aka the 7 lb club)

The_Dragon · 27 February 2012 at 12:22PM

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 March! 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 2012 and we will soon be Svelte!

No - they were not friendly scales

As I said in my post in the February thread today, something serious needs to be done. I am really going to have to watch it when we go away. We're away one day at the Spring Conference on 10th March (lunch and refreshments included and paid for) and then away for 4 nights to Amiens, France, the last week of the month. Having evening dinners is a killer for me. Have discussed with OH and we're both in agreement.

I always take my scales away with me when we stay overnight and I weigh first thing in the morning after going to the loo, before getting dressed and before breakfast.

Can you include me too please, last feb weigh in tomorrow so hopefully will add to my measly 2lb total I have just now. Thanks.

Hi Dragon, I have come crawling back after dropping by the wayside in February! Really am determined this time to lose the weight (I know I keep saying that) but this time it's for keeps.
