Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

sindh watever your name is .... my only advice to you is to completely stay away from foods which you believe you cannot control yourself over . its a mind over matter principle, easier said that done , but takes discipline . So bottom line: don't touch it !.

sehri : water
iftar: soup broth .
khorme sabzi ( a leafy green stew with lamb)
and 2 pieces of baklava (should have had one but they were so good! )

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Yeah that happened to me too. Read some of my last posts and you'll see. I went off track and I am finding it hard to get back on track. I have somewhat controlled my diet. I can't eat anyway but the workout part sucks. I thought it would be easier with Ramadan but I dont work out at all now. I don't want to workout while fasting because I drink a lot of water when I run. I decided I will work out after Iftaari but by the time I am done making Iftaari and dinner gym is closed :( My baby sleeps late too now because we eat so late.. Maybe its just harder in Ramadan.. idk

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

didnt do exercise last nite :frowning: im sooo mad at myself :grumpy:

when i got to my mum’s my sister draggged me to tesco’s for some shopping and took nearly two hrs there

so by the time we got back i was knackered :frowning: defo gonna make myself complete day 10 of level 1 of the shred today
spiral - dont worry its hard you dont have to go gym.
you can also do it at home when baby’s gone to sleep ( i do the same which is usually at 11.30pm! )

sehri - weetabix and tea
iftari- gonna have 1 roti with gosht salan and just a spoon of biryani my sister just made, and of course my tea :slight_smile:

how you guys doing?

Dont beat yourself up about it just accept that you will have days were you will make a bad decision and eat summat your not suppose to

everyone goes through this and you just need to start the next day afresh and work your butt off and the next time you feel your gonna binge

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Hey Girls

So good to see your post :hugz:

SindiC - Chinup girl, it is never too late .. Take it day by day and drink as much water as you can and hopefully it will reduce your appetite

Update from me.. Exercise front I have been really bad , so todayw ill be going to Curves whatever happens

So was out of the office on Friday, was home and went to the first Iftaar.. Was really bad and had samosas and chaat but then I hadn’t eaten anything for the past 2 days so felt ok about it.. I also had a cup of tea and the lamb chop from Biryani without the rice

Saturday was better, I had 2 chappli kebab for Iftaar with half a roti and keema and Sunday Iftar was Lamb Koftas, spinach, 2 pieces of chicken and vege sides and

here I am .. this morning

Weight is 67kg … I saw the scales hover on 66.9 which was anice thing to see and I can see I am getting there..

I have 10 days left to lose a few more lbs so wish me luck girls and I hope I can get down to atleast 64 kg

I am going to continue this in Pk and I have JM so can do that there ..

I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well.. :hugz:

Is there anyway you can go for a walk for 10 mins or even do some skipping in the house

If you aren’t well then don’t worry, get better and then start trying again

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Where is everyone :(

Come on girls.. Tell me how things are going

So Yesterday Iftaar was

3 dates and water
One Doughnut Peach, handful of raspberries
Courgettes and 2 pieces of chicken and some lentils..
1 glass of pourable yoghurt

I am keeping away form Rice, Pasta and bread

Later I had a huge mug of Chamomile

Sehri - I had Jordans Cereal, which didn't enjoy as it felt like there was just too much sugar

Weighed myself this morning I am dead on 67kg

I know I am pushing it but really want to lose another 3 kg before I leave on the 25th :p

Any ideas

I plan to have a cup of yoghurt at sehri
and 3 kajoor and lots of fruit at Iftaar

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I will also be travelling from tomorrow to the end of Ramadan. I am scared that I will gain weight on the trip. We'll be going to Toronto tomorrow ... the food there is so GOOD. Its a short trip... 5 days. But we come back on Monday and leave for Connecticut for a week. Now over there we'll be in a small town and won't have much desi/halal food option at all so maybe it will work in my favor.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Hey Spiral :hug:

I was worried about the same thing, for some reason Dubai Airport’s McDonalds is calling me, so I’m keen to try and lose the weight before my trip so I can treat myself to a halal burger and fries :slight_smile:

Drink lots of water Spiral and just aim to eat healthy and not over eat during the trip and if you do overeat really cut down on your next meal to deficit the overeat in the meal previously

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

hey confussious well done for getting to 67 ......

i let myself have a very CARBOHYDRATY day today .... ive decided to let myself have carbs every 14 days ... which i think is reasonable .....

... so had pakoras , dumplings , naan , bit of rice .lol , i really enjoyed myself .......

... however not looking 4ward to getting on the scale ... will weigh myself on thursday .. hoping im 68 at least ..... wish i was 67 toooo ,t but for my height i dont have a lot of fat so this final 6 kilos will be the hardest to move i believe
