with your own diets!
I've started by reactivating my Weight Watchers online account, I'll be pointing my meals today, and going for a mile walk at lunchtime. I've won't have a chance to do any other exercise today, and I know I won't tomorrow, but a little walk is better than nothing (and burns about 100 calories).
Other ideas to up my activity are doing my printing at the photocopier rather than my desk printer - I've worked out that 10 trips a day is an additional mile a week!! Also, I'm parking about 5 minutes walk away from my office. That stops me driving round and round looking for a space, as well as netting me about 2 extra miles a week.
Have you got any other activity-upping ideas?
I'm going to weigh-in once a week and update every Monday. I'm quite open about how much I weigh, but I know it's a private thing to many ladies, so I suggest that we just post how much we've lost, rather than our starting weights etc.
Good luck ladies! Imagine how great we'll look in our Christmas party dresses in only 8 short weeks! Of we go!!!!
Thanks for reading! xx
Ah, I'm going on a health kick today too :-(
ReplyDeleteGood luck Ladies X
ReplyDeleteThere's some really good ideas there. Another one is make sure you use the stairs instead of going in any lifts. We have a big park right next to where I live so I should make use of that more often.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really ill today, I've stayed off work :( So I won't be doing any exercise either today.
I've had sultana bran for my breakfast this morning and 1% milk I normally have weetabix & a banana but I fancied a change! On an evening I try to just have meat and vegetables - no carbs. I find it really does help with the weight loss but I'm not cutting carbs out completely because I have them in all my other meals.
Another thing I would highly reccommend if you have a sweet tooth is stocking up on weight watcher desserts. They're usually only between 2 & 3 points and make you feel like you've had something nice. My faveourites are the lemon cheesecake and any of the ice cream pots :)
Sorry long post x
Im starting Slimming World this week too - good luck! x
ReplyDeleteAhh good for you girls, I will join you too! I started slimming world 3 weeks ago and have lost 5.5 pounds. 8 weeks, half a stone - done! (oops, sound like Gordon Ramsay- lol) x

@Lucy and @Alice - good luck ladies - let me know if you want to join the challenge
ReplyDelete@Behind the shoes - good luck to you too!
@Real Girls Beauty - sorry to hope you're not feeling well, hope you feel better tomororw. More good weight loss tips there - the other thing i like are Muller yoghurts - especially the cheesecake ones. I think they're only 1.5 points!
@Stacey - welcome to the challenge! I agree with you, I think it is easily achievable within the time. That is, if we stick to the diets/exercise!
Good luck all!
Well I'm in it too! That Change4Life website has some good tips on healthy eating and increasing exercise. Will keep you all posted :o)x
