I aim to lose 14lbs during the month of February. I would like to lose more and maybe I will, that seems a realistic challenge for me. I will drink a glass of water every hour and walk every morning, building it up gradually. as I have walked the Dublin City Marathon a few times, 7 years ago being the last time, I know I can do it.
Hey Christina! I love your name BTW! π
Good for you for setting such great goals, walking and drinking water are the 2 easiest things to do, and the impact they can have on your life is UNREAL.
PLEASE keep me posted on your success and soon you will be walking miles and feeling vibrant!! π

I have been off the plan for a while due to ill health,I am on the mend now and able to start again so I am hoping this challenge will give me some extra motivation.
My weight loss goal is 18lbs and my healthy habit is going to be to get to bed early at least five times a week as I rarely get to bed before 2am, if at all!
Jean!! Sooo happy you are back with us honey!!
I read in the daily mail that people that dont sleep much, tend to eat more calories in the day and are more likely to be overweight!! I am like you, a wee night owl, would love to change that too!!!
I hope you are not reading this reply as I type it at 1:55am – you should be fast asleep now π
Sweet dream Jean and remember on new you your body burns fat 24/7.

hi i have been on the plan for 3 weeks. i found it fantastic. i have lost 18lb and am delighted with it. i was wondering if you had a re feeding plan that i can have please, i really would like to do it properly. thanks.
Hi Marianne! Congratulations on your weight loss to date!! That is FAB!!! If you look along the top of the blog you will see a page for refeeding. Here is the link for easy access now http://www.thenewyouplan.com/blog/refeed-and-healthy-eating-guide/ Hope this helps!! π
Good luck,
Julz xox
thanks got it. is it ok to supplement meals for the odd tfr product once i have refeed just to keep maintaining my weight?
Hi Marianne! Yes certainly, and I would encourage you to do this especially for the next month or so, as you find your balance to maintain your new slim figure!!
The longer the refeed the more chances you will have of maintaining, and you need to eat really healthy, lots of lean protein and fresh veg, as listed in the book.
You can replace one or two meals any time you find you want to lose a few pounds to manage your weight.
Keep your eye on your weight, keep weighing every week, and if you see it creeping up, then readjust. I would also advise your to keep a food journal, and write down everything you need. If you can avoid sugary foods for as long as you can, and avoid white/ processed carbs.
Keep us posted on your success.
Love,
Julz xox
Hi, I hope to lose 18 pounds in February and give up smoking, π xxx
Wow!!! Thats quite the habit change! I have given up smoking also and know how hard but absolutely and totally rewarding it is! The best advice I can offer is don’t replace cigarettes with anything and when you get a craving do something productive be it excercise, housework, anything rather than sit and think about what you feel you are missing!! In four short weeks you can massively change your life and imagine how amazing you are going to feel!!!! I am here if you need me!
GO FOR IT – YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
XOXOXOXOX

I aim to lose 14lb by the end of February.
Have a good long walk at least 5 times a day.
Hi Jane! Thats you registered and ready to rock February! Walking is a fabulous way to excercise! Enjoy the cool crisp weather we are getting – perect walking weather! xxoo
I want to lose 14lb in Feb.
Drink more water and stop moaning about it!
Hi Daisy,
Attitude adjustment is half the battle!!!!!! A positive outlook makes this an adventure leading you to a happier heathier life you rather than a punishment! As you know water is a massive part of The New You Plan so keep focused on it. Bring it on February – I see big changes in your future! :))) xx
My first weigh in for the month of Feb and I have lost 6lbs. My challenge is to lose 16 so I am on target :).. Have lost 18 lbs now over the 3 weeks. My other challenge of walking the dog hasn’t actually started yet but I am mentally working on it! ;/
hi,hope you don’t mind me asking,just wondering what products u use over the course of a wk?hot meals or shakes,bars. 6lb is loads this far in.well done! im coming to end of 3rd wk and will b down 3 i think.only down 2 so far and haven’t deviated from the plan. just thinking maybe i could speed things up if i had different combo of products..thanks:-)
No bother Lisa, ask away! It tends to vary with me. I have 3 little girls and the older 2 to get out for school in the mornings, so I generally don’t have time for breakfast and just have a cup of tea with skimmed milk which suits me fine. I usually have a shake or soup anywhere between 11am-2pm, depending on my mood and if I feel cold! I nearly always have one of the meals; cottage pie or spag bol with mushrooms or brocolli in it at dinner but I’m getting a little bored of it and I ALWAYS make sure I save a bar for the evening when the kiddies go to sleep. My favourite is the lemon yoghurt bar, which I keep in the fridge, then slice up into tiny slices and put it on a plate with a cup of tea. It keeps me sane all day knowing I have that to look forward to! Jude x
I should add that if I am having a week moment I have an extra bar or a packet of the chilli or bbq snacks, but this would be just once or sometimes twice a week. Tis working for me, so I’ll stick with it for now!
hi,thanx a mill for the info! i was trying not to hav many meals (spicy spaghetti my fav) or bars,lemon my fav too, as i felt these wud slow weightloss..also i didn’t realise that having broccoli was ok on this diet. wud be nice to bulk up meal.not fan of soups..i tend to not snack..if i do hav chili snacks or peanuts i hav them instead of a meal.think from 2m im gonna just hav shake,meal,bar everyday and hope for gud result!did gr8 first 2wks.wk1- 11lb, wk2- 4lb and this wk prob just 2..was bit disappointed with that as i stick to it religiously but the only thing diff this wk is im using skim milk as i couldn’t stomach coffee without it..but i also exercised more this wk!who knows.hopefully will get 4lb nxt wk:-)
ps. i also put bar in fridge and chop in2 small pieces.lol
First weigh in of February and I’m down 5lbs. I’m delighted and well on track to reach my 15lb target!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaay Louise! Great start to the month! How are you getting on with your healthy habit? Have you stuck to your 20 mins? Habit changing isn’t easy but then nothing worth doing is!! xooxx
wk 3 weigh in and im down 2lb.bit disappointed with that as i had been doing more exercise this wk and haven’t deviated from the plan at all. will be a struggle now to hit my target for the month. hopefully will get better result this week!
Hi Lisa,
Disappointment is the hardest thing to cope with when you are throwing yourself into something so challenging but I want you to look at the bigger picture – in three weeks you have lost 17lbs! Picture 17 bags of sugar or blocks of butter? Imagine carrying those shopping bags around all day every day?
Each week will be different and there are lots of different factors which will determine how much comes off every week. Are you drinking your water? 3-4 litres daily is recommended.
Positive head on!!! 3 weigh in’s left this month and to hit target you need to lose 3lbs at each weigh in – if you stick to the plan, drink as much water as you can get into you and keep up the exercise you will have a great month.
I am here so if you need me just shout! You can do this!!! xxxxx
thanks! def keeping positive:-) was drinking between 2 and 3 litres of water a day so im going to up it to 4litres every day! hopefully will see a better loss on Monday!
Hi Julz, I started the week pretty rockily but finally got my act together and weighed myself this morning and lost 6 lbs. My problem is if I mess up, I feel really guilty and that everything is ruined, and then I binge and do real damage. So the fact I got back on track without throwing the towel in is good. I feel positive and ready for another week. xxx
Firstly 6lbs is a fantastic loss so well done! Secondly recognising your weakness means you are well on your way to over coming it. Everything you eat is an individual item – there is no such thing as a bad day but a series of bad moments. One error does not mean a whole day (or longer) is ruined.
Pulling yourself up and getting back on track is NOT easy so you should not only be feeling positive but also very proud!
Things are changing for you Annette and it is sooooo exciting!!!
Can’t wait to hear next weeks news xoxoxoxoxox
Thanks a mil Julz for that x
Bad week this week Julz. Spent time in hospital and so had to had horrible food. I promised them that I’d have dinner but it wasn’t for me. When I’m out in the week, I’ll be back ~ sorry by the way down 4 lb. so dissapiontied.
Hi Cait,
I’m sorry to hear you have been ill – how are you feeling now? You need to focus on your health then once your are 100% you can throw yourself back into the plan. 4lbs is a great loss and a good start xxxxx
First weigh in of Feb Challenge. Down 4 lbs. Must up my water intake & get moving to reach my month’s target of 21 lbs! x
Hi CarlyBC
4lbs is a great start! Upping your water intake definitely makes a huge difference! Keep that target in your sights! xxoo
Feb week1 but week 5 for me. Down 2lb. Got to increase the water for next week. Excercising alot more. Goodl luck to all for next weigh ins!
Feb week2, week 6 for me and down onelb. π Completely my fault, I drinking herbal tea all week without checking contents, it was fruity green tea but it knocked me out of ketosis. Still, a loss is a loss and the scales still going in the right direction π
Good luck to all weighing in this week xxxxxx
What a nightmare Triny!!! You are right though a loss is a loss! At least you know why you didn’t lose as much as you hoped – nothing worse than feeling disappointed and not knowing why. Get straight back on that horse and blitz that goal xoxoxoxox I am here if you have any questions xx
hey there i was just wondering if it was ok to do the diet for a couple of days and then to refeed if you just wanted to shift a few pounds quickly or would it be best to supplement a couple of meals here and there? im happy with where i am after being on the diet but have had a bad easter!! just looking to breah bad habits really and have some products left.
