Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Are you coping on the 900 cal limit Spiral? I'd be dieing

Yes Evening : Pasta, Cauliflower and Green Beans

Snk : cashew Nuts

AM - This mornign I didn't get up for a run :(

Had 1 Green tea, one Coffee and am waiting to go to Curves so I can eat .. I am starving..

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Actually I am pretty okay with eating low cal. I eat very healthy so although I eat a lot, I eat things that are very low in calorie. I eat a lot of deli meat, brown bread, skim milk, tuna etc. I do have at least two cups of tea everyday (I know not a very good idea but I can't resist tea).

My weight fluctuates a lot during the day so that's one thing I am a bit worried about. My workout is extremely good. I make the most out of my 1-1.5 hour. I go when my baby is asleep at 9:30 10 at night. I weighed myself this morning, scale reads 10lbs lighter but I know it won't be the same during the day.. probably will show me 6lbs lighter instead of 10.. ah sucks!

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

i think morning is the best time to check ur weight

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Agree with ABlossom - Stick to weighing in the morning on an empty stomach.. I am so keen to check my weight but no scales where I stay and the lady at Curves has moved the scales as she doesn’t want us to check our weight before the monthly weigh ins

Just finished curves, I can feel the muscles now.. :slight_smile:

Lunch: 5 Oat Biscuits
1 Cheese Triangle
4 Falafels ( :frowning: )
and the remaining tzakziki

I feel satiated so hopefully this will cover me until I get home for Dinner

I’m wearing size 12 trousers at the mo and really keen for them to hang off my hips rather than wrap around my thighs :bummer:

I will need to go for a 40 minute walk today… I can’t just rely on the half an hour curves session

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Hi UZ, Welcome

Apologies for the next line.. But this always grates on me when people write :stuck_out_tongue: loose rather than lose.. It is LOSE ( as in khona) not loose.. :flower2:

Ok rant over .. so what are you are palnning to lose and in how much time..

Do you want to give more info :slight_smile:

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

**34 DAYS and 19 hours to GO

Last night .. **I was really abd and annihalated a whole pack of Cashew Nuts .. I felt so sick afterwards

Dinner: Green beans, Lentil and Spinach and one spoonfull of pasta

I actually couldn't eat it all so I left mosta nd then finished with Chammomile Tea before bed

Today: Nothing as yet - One cup of tea & 1 cheese triangle

Lunch: After Curves I will have fruit and 2 Oat biscuits with Cheese Triangles..

Didn't go for mr run last night.. I might see if someone can join me

I had some inspiration from a colleage who lost over 30lbs in 7 months from exercise and not eating carbs after 1pm and protein and veg in the evening..

She ran 30 minutes at the gym every day and she's a tiny size 8 uk (size 4 US)

Gives me the incentive to push myself and not miss out on the exercise

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

^You’re doing really good. :k:

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Had an unhealthy 350 calorie breakfast.. grrr

So I noticed I am the only one who counts calories.. I keep a food journal that helps me. I type everything I eat online to see how many calories I consumed and how many I burn each day. Sparkpeople.com is an awesome website. I set my goal, selected my exercises.. each day I write down what I ate and my work out routine. So far I have lost 10 lbs and want to lose another 20-25 by the end of September IA!

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

I want to loose 10kgs by Eid, is that possible?

Surprisingly my measurements are fine but my weigh is on the heavier end. Though logically doc says it shouldnt matter cuz its due to dense bone, body structure, etc etc but still i want to loose 10 kgs to be in my ideal weight and to not to have to worry about what i am eating.

I will start proper gym from monday as its that time of the month for me cough.

So, hands up who think its achievable? And anybody else with same targets as me.

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Oh God, I need to lose weight but have no motivation. =/

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

weighed myself today and I’ve lost 1.4kg/3lbs in last 5 days…i’m so happy and it has motivated me even more.:biggthumb:

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Make sure you ladies are weighing yourself at the same time everyday. It's best to weigh yourself in the morning. Goodluck! :D

Re: 40 Day Weight Loss Challenge..

Oh wow Hareem. Congrats. That's a great progress.

I had a bad bad Friday and Saturday. I ate a LOT of unhealthy stuff. I ate a huge pack of pasta ... all by myself.. eeek.. I love pasta!
I did however worked out and burned about 310 calories on Saturday. Gotta be more careful if I want to lose my target weight by Sept.
