January Jump-Start Challenge

[Tash86]

Hi all, I'd love to join too - I started today offically (although have cut out carbs since Sunday so will be counting sunday as my weigh in) I did this a few years ago on CD and quite excited about doing it again - although I'd completely forgotten how awful the water is - I feel like I'm drowning!!

Anyhow I'd like to lose 20lb in January - best of luck to you all I can't wait to read the results!!

Well done! That's amazing You're halfway to challenge target in just one week! arty0011:

 

[yummy101]

Thanks! Mmmmmmmm I think my weight loss this week may be partly due to the weight I put on over Xmas, but oh well it's still motivating and still 1.5 stone in 5 weeks. I'm happy.

Oh Mush

I know that feeling, I have to get to a BMI of under 30 before they will even investigate me and hubby, have been TTC a long time unofficially 7 years!

Good Luck sweetie

wow the pct must be very strict round your way then as they said to us that the goal is 30bmi but will start treatments at 40, i have to get to 40 to show i'm serious i guess. We've had alsorts of bloodtests and hubby's had his swimmers counted and all is fine with us, they just want to eliminate my weight as the problem

 

[Tash86]

Hi all, I weighed in this morning and I've lost 9lbs!!! Yey!! This is with 4 days low carb and 3 days SS (using left over CD packs) so I'm really pleased!! I'm really glad I did the days low carb first - I've tried before to get back into TFR and have never found it as easy as this. Back to work 2m and I'm hoping my Exante order will be waiting for me - can't wait to try the flavours!!

Good Luck to everyone for this week

[greenygirl]

I have my shakes and I am starting tomorrow..My start weight is 12.2 any ideas what a realistic goal would be for 4 weeks?

 

[rainbow brite]

Generally TFR diets say that you'll lose one stone per month.

 

[greenygirl]

Thanks for the reply...My aim is to get to 11 stone by the end of the month. So that would be a loss of 16lb I have been working out today so hopefully that will give my body a clue to start shifting the extra baggage.
I have been so off the rails lately and its time to get my head and body back in the game.
well done to everyone who has lost so far...I was due to start on Monday last but used the snow as an excuse to delay.

I go on holiday in 6 weeks and would love to be in the 10's but think they may be an unrealistic target...but it gives me something to work towards and do the best I can.

I have done the Cambridge Diet before and found I enjoyed that so fingers crossed I like these flavours too.

 

[rainbow brite]

Well best of luck and remember to keep logging on here for support and distraction if you're struggling

Mind the exercise though - too much cardio is not good when you're on a TFR as it'll stall your losses
