October weight loss challenge...

[bride_2_b08]

ok ladies last week I started a new diet/ training plan. It is very intense! I lost 1kilo though so i'm very happy about that!!! I have 12 weeks to go until wedding and am hoping (fingers crossed) that i can drop 6-8 kg. All you ladies are really helping to motivate me, so thank you!!! I'm off to the gym now.

Ok. I think i need to join in now. i started WW a couple weeks ago and it has been going well. I think the important part for me is tracking what I eat. I really think about my food choices when I know I have to write them down.

I have gone to pilates classes the last couple weekends but still have to figure out how to fit exercise into the week. Honestly, I know it's as easy as getting up an hour earlier but Iam sooo not a morning preson. I am hoping if (when) I see progress with the diet changes then I will be more motivated.

 

Do I really have to give up Diet coke

I'm late to this, but I'm in, too! As I posted somewhere else, I've gained 12 pounds since the wedding! And haven't changed any eating/working out habits. Yowza!

 

I'm off to run the dogs then headed to the gym. I'll check in later.

 

Oh, and for the person who works from 9-6, I'd suggest signing up at a gym that has early morning availability, and getting there in the a.m. (if you wait til the p.m., you'll always be too tired). When you set your alarm at night, just say to yourself, "alarm off, coffee, then off to the gym." Sounds corny, but it works.

 

The other thing you can do if you skip your a.m. workout is plan dinner (if you cook for your family like I do) that is in the oven for at least 30 minutes. Prep it in your work out clothes, then as soon as you pop it in the oven, head out for a run. This is good for me, too.

How's everyone doing with this? I know most of us are posting on the daily challenge, but I thought I'd post an update... I lost 2.5 lbs this week, so I'm 3 lb down for the month so far! 5 lbs is totally looking feasible right now!

 

How are you all doing?
