Weight Loss June Challenge: Are You Joining Me?



I realized the other day that I hadn't been posting here at all. Admittedly, weight loss hasn't been a priority of mine for the last two months. I've had so much going on that something has had to give. And that something was my weight loss journey.

But I've recently had to buy new clothes; not because I was falling out of my others or because they needed replacing. I've had to replace them because they're getting too small! I hate that feeling.

It's the summer and I'm 20lbs heavier than I was last summer, when I wanted to lose 40lbs. So now I want to lose 60lbs. And I only have myself to blame.

It's not because of a diet that doesn't work. I know Weight Watchers works, but I have to stick to it.

I actually tried calorie counting rather than doing Weight Watchers. It did start working, especially as I found out that I wasn't quite eating enough. Even sticking within my points, I wasn't quite eating enough calorie wise and I'm sure that has something to do with eating fruit and vegetables more. But I couldn't even stick to that.

You can hear more about my findings here.


Well, now it's time to make a change and do a weight loss June challenge. I'd love for you to join in with me.

Each day I'm going to track with my Weight Watchers journal again. If you don't have one, you can just use a normal notebook. The journal doesn't just track food. I track the amount of exercise I do, how I feel, things that made me smile, and I've added my own section to track the amount of water I drink,

I started this yesterday (I know, it was May) just to get myself on track. No time like the present right? Each week I'll update you with my journey. I'll likely update on a Tuesday as that is the best day for me to sit down and blog.


Why am I tracking with Weight Watchers when I tried calorie counting? Well, I'm also going to track the calories I eat too. I'm also going to track the old ProPoints system. My aim is to see how the three link together to see if there is a part of my diet that needs to change for my health. You don't have to do that as part of this weight loss challenge!

I'm also going to share videos more often. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you get the updates right away. My aim is to do two a week.



Sometimes I might do Facebook Live videos on my Weight Watchers support page. Click like and you'll more likely actually get notified when I go live! Those videos will later be shared on YouTube.

I've actually just done a FB Live video about this challenge. Make sure you check out the page where I share the full details! You don't have to follow the Weight Watchers diet to be on the page or to follow this weight loss June challenge.

Will you join me with this weight loss June challenge? I hope you do! Let's lose the weight together.

The Problems with Crash Diets

Many people want to lose weight quickly. While this is possible, it’s not always the healthy option. Crash diets are on the top of people’s lists because they help them shed the pounds in weeks. The problem is they are extremely dangerous to your body; especially if you follow them for the long term. Crash diets can help to kick start weight loss but only when done sensibly. You’ll need to check with your doctor first to make sure you’re following the right plan for your body’s health. Here are a few risks that you’ll be taking if you don’t follow them the healthy way. While you will lose weight quickly with crash diets, you won’t keep the weight off for the long term. These weight loss plans are also known as yo-yo diets because you’ll put the weight back on just as quickly as you lose it. While you’re cutting the calories down, you’re not changing the way you eat for the long term; when you go back to eating normally, you’ll go back to your normal easting pattern. Another probl

100 Day Challenge Day 28: Staying In Control on a Busy Day

Image
I mentioned yesterday on the 100 Day Challenge that Wednesday was going to be busy. I expected to eat the majority of my weekly pro points that I had left. In the end, I only went into a small amount of them. The whole way I did that was by staying in control and making good choices . That’s an important part of losing weight. Yes, I could have stuffed my face with chocolate because there were periods when I really wanted to, but I didn’t. I didn’t deprive myself either. When I wanted chocolate, I told myself that I would get it later (knowing that I’d have some later anyway).  It doesn’t have to be boring making good choices. Rather than having a bit of chocolate at the end of the night, I shared a punnet of strawberries with my husband and daughter. They gave me the sweet kick that I needed to finish off the day. They were juicier and more delicious than a bar of chocolate, too. While doing all that, I’m also drinking more water. I’ve even decided to start my day tod

Here are a few Halloween party ideas to help you stay in control in the run-up and on the night. Have Some Healthy but Fun Snacks Image: Alexandria Ingham You don’t just need to get chocolates, candies and cookies in. Why not have some fun with some healthy snacks?
