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 October! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it :D

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! :D

  • Hi Dragon

    Thanks for starting a new thread. N please count me in again.
  • Please count me in. I have 12lb to lose in total, so I don't know if I'll manage to lose 7lb this month, but I'd be happy with 4lb.

    SW 156lb.

    Good luck everyone!

  • I'm going to listen to Paul McKenna every night before bed, and see if it makes a difference over the month. I'll weigh myself on 31st October and see.

    Good luck everyone! DH is going out now to get me a step machine, while I look for my missing Fitbit.

    Hi All

    I have tried to lose weight before. I have put a few pounds back on but if I can lose 7lb this month that will get me to my 1st target I will check in on a Saturday as that is the day i weigh on.

    I follow slimming world but don't go to class. I am finding that I need to write everything that I eat down at the moment otherwise I lose my way a bit.

    Oh well good luck to everyone else
