Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I'm gonna stop eating pakoras....and only fruit in iftar. I've started to get acne coz of eating pakoras in last two days.

222

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

So since yesterday was the first day of fasting I decided to give myself a treat and have some pakoras. Also we went to an iftar party yesterday and that's basically the only thing they had. That's why I don't like iftar parties lol, they always mess up my diet. Today I didn't have iftar though, I had dates and had scrambled eggs and toast for dinner. ( I was really craving it for some reason!) I'm probably going to have some cereal for sehri.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I worked out for an hour today but after that I started to get a really bad pain in my lower abdomen as well so I stopped. I hope I do an hour consistently every day from now on!

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Hey everyone,

You're all doing well. we're probably going to stumble the first few days in fasting with hunger pangs and iftar parties. I am lucky as won't be invited to any Iftar parties as I work away from home and the family I live with don't fast due to medical reasons and I have asked them not to make anything special for me

So yesterday I did my half hour curves and ran for half an hour (2miles maximum need to run more) and Iftar was 3 dates and water, yoghurt and a plate of veg with some rice

Aunt Flo has arrived so won't be officially fasting but am trying to not eat for the next few days

This morning one cup of coffee and a glass of lemon water :)

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Welldone appleb, you're doing really well
I need to do the same routine as you and do skipping as well

227

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

hello confi great workout rouitne ...ur iftar is perfectly balanced but try to have more on sehri it will giv you more energy through out the day .. if u u having coffe at sehri have a piece of brown bread with light spread of margarine or have boil eggs without yolk,make chicken and veg sandwich it will really make you feel full all day u'll feel more energized and will be able to do more excersise..
strawberry milk shake is really good too use skimmed milk,brown sugar/honey and some fresh strawberries

228

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Appleb - It is time of the month - So no fasting for 6/7 days :bummer:

I am trying to behave myself and not eat much today, I might focus on fruits though

229

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

:)

You know what is really good to eat for a healthy iftar option

Chana Chaat (with no oil) , you know the one with yoghurt and a little potato, chickpeas and cucumber..

Replace you're meal with that

How is everyone doing? Xjatti, Apple B, Sindhic..., Hareem, Theorist , Zobia, Shabnaam?

I haven't been to curves yet, inshALLAH going after wok and then straight into a run as soon as I get home

I slyly took a big glass of Fresh Juice , I think Orange, Apple and Ginger.. It has stopped me craving any food, inshALLAH will continue to behave myself :)

231

234

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I have gained back some control. Yesterday was ok. I had scrambled eggs and toast in breakfast. I had Chinese in the evening. I would say I had about 1000 calories. I worked out for an hour and a half. I am hungry right now.lol

235

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I had wayyyyyy too many dates yesterday. They're so good but they're pretty high in calories. I need to work on limiting my consumption lol!

236

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I started level 2 of JM's '6 packs in 6 weeks' and I have to say it is one of THE HARDEST workouts I've ever done. Saw good results in the past month after doing 3 weeks of level 1 and hope to see more by the end of level 2. I am almost back to my pre pregnancy weight. Wohoo!

Level 2 has left me so sore it's not even funny. But I feel great. :D

237

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I forced myself to workout for 45 mins... intensely. I need to get back on track too. Need to lose another 10 lb this month. I'll be back to my pre pregnancy weight too then but I need to lose a lot more after that. I wasn't the fittest person when I got pregnant.. sucks!

JM seems so much harder to do now for some reason. I enjoy working out at the gym more. I did a month of JM last year and did end up losing some weight but honestly its no fun :(

238

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I just did a JM work out too and it sucked. It was my second day doing her metabolism boost work out and it is no fun :( I just hate that its so long and she does each exercise twice. I need to find a new work out video, preferably one thats not an hour long lol.

239

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

hello girls,working out is not easy and no fun but the best part is u’ll get to see the RESULTS .. keep working we all are doing great MASHALLAAH :k:
