*February 'Beach Bod' Dieting Thread*

[mandymouse]

Finally January is over, and we have moved a month closer to the Summer, so welcome to the February 'I'm going to fit into a bikini/tankini/swimsuit/shorts this Summer if it kills me' thread

So, how was January for you ? Let us know how much you lost in January, how much you hope to lose this month and generally how you are feeling about your diet so far

Good Luck this month everyone

I have had a very mixed month of dieting. I got straight back into my diet after Christmas and over the first 2 weeks lost the 6lbs that I had put on over the Christmas period

Since then, although I have been going to 2 or 3 zumba classes a week I have STS. I doubt I'll be weighing in this week as it has been my DD's 21st birthday this week and we have had family gatherings, a meal, 2 cakes and many cupcakes, with a meal tomorrow too, but all being well I will be back on track on Monday

Good luck with this weeks weigh-ins everyone

Well I had managed to put on about a stone since last summer mainly due to comfort eating so I have just been eating sensibly and cut down on sweets and stuff, so far through January I have lost 6lbs, which is fine by me! I'd like to lose another 6-8 ish and then I'll be happy!

There is a new gym that has opened down the road from us and the membership is only £100 for the year including classes, they do Zumba and LBT etc so I'm also thinking about trying that.

Keep up the good work everone

Not sure how much I lost in January but I have knocked off another 2lbs this week. Running and watching the points is working again for me. Let's see what the rest of the month brings.

Well done all and good luck for Feb.

Well done everyone who is losing

I am plodding along with the calorie restriction and weigh in tomorrow. Have too many meals out though in Feb .... DH is taking me out on Valentines night and on the 19th DD is 21, so we will be going out for a Teppanyaki meal. On the 24th we have a weekend away in London which will involve lots of food and drink I am sure.

I must try and up the exercise to accomodate these meals but I feel really tired all the time and sluggish at the moment which doesn't help. Dieting and having a social life just doesn't go well together and I feel I can only do it properly if I am a social recluse. Anyone else feel a bit like this.

I still aim to lose another 3 lbs before the end of this month. I am looking forward to the lighter evenings when I can go for a walk. Roll on March

Good luck with your weigh-in today Sarah. It was my DD's 21st last week and between party food, 2 cakes and 2 meals out I couldn't bring myself to weigh-in on Friday. I jumped on the scales this morning and had a bit of a shock so I will have to be very good and work hard at zumba to get back to how I was 10 days ago

Enjoy your month of fun

Weighed in today at clinic ... and I have lost 1.4 lbs this past week .... really pleased with that. Overall I am down 6lbs in the past 6 weeks which means I am sticking to my goal of losing 1lb a week. Hopefully next week I will have lost that magical half a stone

Good luck everyone with the week ahead
