  • I'm reporting a 1LB Gain This week Thanks Fred :A

    challenge wise I got a bash on the head last Friday and have had a concussion so not been able to exercise :( So I think I am going to have to bow out for the rest of this month and see what you decide on next month.

    Hi to all the Newbies and welcome

    Welcome back to the others
    Restarting C25K in 2014 - Week 8 - 1/3 completed

    Need to loose 25lb / 3lb lost so far :(

  • Hi,

    I'd like to join in October if I can please. As I'm trying to be moneysaving, I am planning to pretty much follow SW (as have all the books etc from earlier this year), but not go to meetings as really need to cut down spending! Is there anyone who has a fair whack to lose also? 24hr rotation and poor food choices have meant I've gained a massive amount, and have 9st to lose Eeeekkk! Please don't be harsh with me, am so appalled myself :0(

    Welcome to all the new people :j

    It doesn't matter how much or little anyone wants to lose everyone is welcome.

    You don't have to post how much you weigh - if you join in the team challenge I will ask you to pm me your weight in confidence - this is so that I can calculate the team % loss.

    Our result day is Wednesday - I've started this weeks charts and they will be posted soon, please try to post the amount you've lost/gained by 10pm on Wednesday night. If you've stayed the same weight just post STS.

    Friday is the final day for the September challenges - I will post the final charts for these challenges next Wednesday.

    I will announce October challenges tonight hopefully!!

    Hi guys!!

    Just popping in to say hi!! I am being sidetracked by mr blonde hair blue eyes, nice abs, good legs, warm heart man of mine! I could have gone on but must refrain from being too complimentary!

    Hope the weight loss is going well for everyone :) I am finding eating good things as hard as ever, i'm really going to try my best (after my weekend away with man mentioned above) to actually eat, let alone eating anything bad!

    Speak soon x

    Hi Fred,

    Could you put me down for the -5lb challenge and the North Team.

    Although I now seem to be failing all the monthly challenges :o I am going to sign up for the English Channel by swimming.

    I hope to get at least half way which according the site below is 11 miles.

    http://www.swimming.org/myswimfit/activate

    Anyone else swimming might find this site useful as it also allows you to enter your lengths and track your progress across the Channel.

    Jess
  • Sorry, late weigh-in, life is just manic at the moment! 2lbs off for me this week, but don't worry, it can be added to next weeks chart.
