Anyone want to join me in a 5 pound challenge. We only have 11 days to go!

I need help. I need to get me back on the straight and narrow. I'm off on holiday on the 5th May for a long weekend to Austria and I just know I will come back heavier. I want to lose 5 pounds before I go, I'll probably put it straight back on again but at least I won't then be 5 pounds more than I am now. If you see what I mean!

Going to weigh myself every day and take my body measurements. No alcohol and treats. No use using Fitday as I'm out at parties/meals for the next 4 nights and away at the weekend but I'm going to try to keep to 2000 calories and 25 carbs.

Starting weight - 13 stone 4.8 pounds; (186.8) - Body fat 34.5% (much lower than normal so hopefully some of my recent gains are muscle )

Hi Magpies, i would love to join your challenge! I have a birthday May 9th and 5 lbs off would be ssssssooooooooo great. count me in! Marlene

Hi Marlene,

Thanks for joining me. It's early evening here, always the worst time of day for me, starting to feel peckish and fancying all the wrong food. Must try and get through today, the first day is always the worst.

Good luck on losing your weight by the 8th.

Trying to be but feeling more like

Ahhh, the evenings are the worst for me as well. i sometimes grill a chicken breast, slice it and pick away at it in the evening. it helps... It is mid afternoon here, so i am good so far, no cravings. i think my wanting to eat at night is more habit then anything. i do struggle with it. Anyway, be a good girl and we will do this together. Marlene

I have been posting my menu in my journal. why don't you do the same and we can compare notes.

Good idea. Off to put in what I've had so far.

checked out your journal - sounds like you are having a good lc day. Keep up the good work! Marlene

Trying my best. Not much low carb food in evidence at the dance, apart from the chicken I had brought myself but managed to keep pretty much within the guidelines. Nearly through day one

Hey Magpies~
I'm with ya. That's the day I leave for my Vegas vacation! 5 lbs sounds like a great plan. Let's DO IT!!!!
