Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

i suggest give yourself at least three months.
40 days weight loss challenge seems like a crash course.

ps. even in the advertisment they promise 90 days = 3 months.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

confuscious 5.5 inches is a quite commendable achievement , do not feel disheartened by the scales digits because your doing weights and the initial stages of weights workout involve convertin that fat to muscle which is indicated the actual loss of inches but no difference in weight as muscle weighs much more than fat .... scaled are misleading for those that do weights and if you feel less fattier then your on the right track and continue doing what your doing now ....

I'm in Australia !

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Hey Shabnaam,

Thanks. I've been trying to lose weight for ages and seem to be failing big time.. I don't gain but I don't lose either :(

I really don't want to find anymore excuses for not losing weight so really keen to get down to 60 kg..

It's not a huge challenge, there are girls who have had to lose 340 lbs and do so well

The bummer was that the body fat percentage only showed no difference in fat

Oh well, I have another 3 weeks available of this so going to work hard at it..

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Well done apple B especially on the exercise and same to xjatti too

I had the most horrible headache yesterday didn't go away until this Sehro morning

Sehri was 1 cup pouring yoghurt and Water
Just before Iftaar I did 30 minutes of walking/running (max 2 miles)

Iftaar - 3 dates and water
after maghrib namaz - One small roti with vege's and lamb pieces and a glass of pouring yoghurt

I felt really full, I think moving forward Iftar will be yoghurt and kajoor as namaz is at 9am and it is better to sleep and have a good sehri

This sehri : i bowl of porridge, pouring yoghurt and loads of water

The headache is still there but c'est la vie

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I have completely gone off track in the last 4 days or so. I have had no exercise and I have been eating like a horse. I am starting over. Need to do 2 hours of exercise for the next 4 days and eat 800 calories to get back on track. What do you think?
