These are ideas I have heard from various places, I have not necessarily done each one but know that people have done well with these. Some are obvious I know!
1) 8 glasses/2 litres of water a day - your body does need this much!
2) Food diary - always helps make sure your not missing counting things which your eating.
3) Superfree challenge - ½ your food superfree for every meal for one week
4) Scan bran challenge - 5 pieces of scan bran a day for a week but make sure you drink LOTS of water (1 syn each of 5 for heB)
5) Get a pedometer - you are meant to walk 1000 steps a day and that is a lot!
6) 777 challenge - 7 days, 7 syns, 7 speed foods per day, thats had great results for one of my friends
7) Healthy B challenge - have a different B choice everyday for a week, try to avoid the normal cereal and toast as there are loads including cooked fruits, soups and nuts.
8) New meal everyday - There are loads of recipes online, on facebook, in the books and magazines that it would be possible to try a new meal everyday! Doesnt have to be huge meal, maybe even a desert
9) One month challenge - set yourself a reasonable goal for a whole month (normally 4 WI's) and go for it full on 100%! You could even reward yourself with a small, non-food related treat like jewellery.
10) Plan every meal for one week - this will help keep you focused and prepared to try new ideas.
11) Speed food challenge - Try to eat as many as many speed foods as you can per day. On average I managed 12 last week!!
12) Couch to 5k challenge - there is a website for this but online there are free resources to help you start running , SW online also has a good article on starting running.
13) Less Caffeine week - caffeine can do something to your body to slow down losses so by reducing your caffeine a little may help your losses (This has worked for me!)
14) Change of plan - If you are used to one plan, try another! Will make you think more about what you're eating and so help keep you on track.
15) Exercise - try to increase this but obviously don't go all in week 1 as you will be less likely to stick to it.
16) Decrease portions a LITTLE bit - Your body will not need the same amount of food it did 1, 2, 3.. stone ago. I do mean decrease a small amount, and so when a recipe says serves 4, eat 1/4. If you are still hungry there is loads of fruit you could eat which will also be SF and probably speedy!
It's not going to be much use to me anymore lol x
