Week six, day three

Carolin57

Scales edged downwards today a little and a pound of the two I put on for New years eve has gone.


A Bit bored last night I worked out how many pounds I need to lose. 64 pounds and I also worked out that at a three pound loss a week would take me till the end of May. That's assuming I stick carefully to plan.


Today will be a difficult day for my steps count as I have a bunch of emails to send for voluntary work and then my friend is coming for lunch. So I will not be able to leave the house for long.


I did the plank for 30 seconds and I can safely say I am now back in routine.

Hi Caroln57. You sound motivated but don’t you think an anticipated three pound loss/week is being kind of hard on yourself?

Hello there. Not really as before Christmas I was averaging 3 pounds a week. I am doing the NHS 12 Week weight loss plan which means I have to eat just under 1400 calories a day and stay active. My plan B is a two week loss per week and that will take me till the end of July.
I am six weeks into the first 12 weeks and it's all going according to plan.

Caroline you sound so motivated and have a plan that works for you. I am still trying to find exactly what works for me. I am 68 and hopefully by 70, I will have it figured out.
