Shed half a stone in March challenge!

Crap_with_money.com

Hi all!!

I know I'm a bit late - but can I join in please? Got back from hols last night, and pleased to say I only put on 1lb while I was away!! Although, that does mean I failed February's challenge miserably, since I only lost 3 lbs in total! But at least it was a loss and not a gain!! :T

Here's to a good March! I'll be back later to read through the rest of the thread!

plzhelpmesave - what are these Size Down classes again?

taffy - what does STS mean? Thanks. I have terrible choc cravings too, it is hellish!!

crapwithmoney - at least you lost 3lbs, that is great!! Well done and I'm glad you enjoyed your hols.

My boss called to ask me to go to a meeting, which means I won't make it to the gym again, so annoyed!!! And I've only done 2 flights of stairs today so far. Bah to being busy!

Damn, this has reminded me I still have 6 belgium chocs in the box from yesterday.

Hi all,
All this talk of chocolate is giving me craving! Mind you, all I've eaten all week is toast so I guess a wee choccy bar would not do too much harm. Don't even know if I could keep it down though so I guess I'll give it a miss.
Was not able to run last night due to being sick - am gutted - I hate missing a training session but there is just no way I could have gone. I am back to work but not feeling well at all. I just hope that I am feeling better for the 5k run on Sunday. Thought any more about it Tara?
Hope you are all making good food descisions? Keep up the good work - this thread is so motivating - Thanks!

I'm glad the idea of the sugar free jelly is a good one oh and STS means Stayed The Same - ie no GAIN!!

Speaking of which- even after a lunch time out yesterday I am still at 293 pounds so this is good!

hey folks, just a quick update from me, after my horror of being 20 stone on my scales at home, i went to the gym on monday and the gyms scales said i was only 19 stone 6lbs, so i have decided to use them as they are proper! Plus i will always be weighing at the same time, eg. straight after work and before dinner.

And yesterday i went and jumped on and it read 19&3lb so thats three pounds already!!! woop woop!!

Hethmar - just seen ur post, if u haven't opened the chocs yet don't. keep them as a treat once u hit a milestone? Or else open them with loads of family/friends about and offer them out and then you eat less. Not nice to have to share I know BUT better for your weight loss! good luck!

almost the weekend guys Anyone doing anything nice? I actually have a nice weekend for a change lol, snow patrol tomorrow night and then "afternoon tea" on Saturday for a friends 30th birthday which will be fun

Actually pinkneonmartini it seems as though you have lost 10 pounds :rotfl:, good call on using the gym scales - they will be calibrated for higher weights - as you lose weight check in on your home scales and when they start to be in sync then you can use the home ones if you wanted to.

I am planning on being out for lunch on Saturday as I hit the grand old age of 44 :rolleyes::rotfl:

Hey EmmyLou!

Snow Patrol sounds great! Hope you have a nice time! not much planned here, swimming with the kids on Saturday, then KFC for dinner (I will have the lowest fat thing on the menu! no chips and diet coke! :rotfl: ) I can't go in there and watch OH and kids have something and me not, so I will have to give in regardless of the calories! lol Then Sunday taking OH shopping for a decent suit for the upcoming family weddings, whilst Mum has the kids. May venture into Argos and pick up a rowing machine as they have one on offer I have my eye on!
