Hello again!
My partner and I recently joined an 8 week community weight loss challenge (we started a week late, so we have 7 weeks!).
On our first week, we were photographed, weighed & measured. My start weight was 114.7kg. That week we aimed to drink more water, reduce carbs, and make healthier food choices - and we did.
At the following weigh-in I was 113kg - a loss of 1.7kg! (and Peter lost 1.4kg)
Next, we decided to try some health shakes and vitamins to make our weight loss journey more convenient, and offer more energy. Of all the different dieting techniques and systems I've previously used, I've never actually tried weight loss shakes before.
Anyway, that week we both had birthdays, dined out, drank wine, and I was menstruating (which can affect the scales due to fluid retention etc)... However, I lost a further kilo, weighing 112kg. Yay! (Peter also lost 800grams)
This week I am continuing on the products (shakes and vitamins), with snacks of fruit and nuts (or protein bars). I'm making healthy dinner choices and ensuring we both eat meals with reduced carbs (although attempting to live without them completely is simply unrealistic). I am also diligently drinking around 2 litres of water a day.
I'm keeping up with working part-time hours, and as yet am not pushing myself with exercise, although this will need to be added later.
Summary:
06/08/12 114.7
13/08/12 113 (-1.7)
20/08/12 112 (-1.0)
