Shed half a stone in March challenge!

zzzLazyDaisy

March will be my 4th half stone challenge...

My weight has been up and down since I started the first challenge on 1st December (christmas and a three week AI hol in feb didn't help much!) but over-all the trend is down.

Most importantly for me, I am still under 12 stone (this was a major milestone as my weight shot up to 12st 10lb after a relationship breakup in November 2007, and stuck with me till I started these challenges).

However, enough excuses - I am really determined to get my half-stone award this month. I have come back from Turkey very tired after the travelling, which always knocks me about, but overall my health is more stable, so I may even get back to the gym this month (I stopped going to the gym due to a knee injury in August 2007, so that would be another major step forward)

EDIT - change that to I AM GOING BACK to the gym - I have just phoned them and negotiated a deal for no joining fee, no admin fee, no 12 month contract, and 4 free sessions with a personal trainer - £29.50 a month, off peak membership. I have to call in today and sign up, So I'd better dig my swimming cossie out and get down there! The no contract was a biggie for me because my health problems mean I have to be able to suspend my membership from time to time without penalty.

Hi all! I would love to join in too. Am trying to lose the last 10 lbs, so this challenge should focus my mind a bit. I am currently 10 stone 7, 5 foot 6. Good luck to everybody!

Now I've given up chocolate I really need to focus on the other stuff I eat, so please count me in for half a stone in March.

Weight today 239 and a half pounds
Height 65"
Age 39
Incentives for me: I need to drop a load of weight if I ever want to get my black belt in my martial arts class.
I will be 40 next January.
Going to Orlando at Christmas.
Fallen Arches and snoring would be helped by weight loss.

Count me in for march please:D

I know how you feel gemmzie - at my heaviest i was 12st2lb did sw lost just over 2st, fell off me, then i fell pregnant (literally found out a week after my final weigh in at sw) went back up to 12st. I lost the first 16lb fairly easily but my weight seems to go up and down so easily now. I've been trying to get back to my pre preg weight now for over a year and the lowest i've managed was 10st4lb, no amount of healthy eating and exercise seemed to help. Only thing is we've decided to try for another bubs this year so guatantee the same things gonna happen again:rolleyes:

Today....
B - cereal and banana
L - sarnie and muller rice
D - mum's sunday lunch yumm
Ex - going shopping so loads of walking, carrying heavy bags etc;)

Catch up with you all later x

Morning everyone and happy St Davids Day!

First day of our challenge so lets all make it a good one shall we! Feeling good coz i've just had my porridge after 2 weeks of atkins! GOing to try low carb and healthy eating this month i think with lots and lots of excercise.... i'm a bit of a diet tart but have finally realised i need to make a long term change in our family's eating habits so want to do stuff that i can keep up!

Starting weight as of today is : 13st 5lbs
which means i lost 1-2lbs in february. Will use these scales for weigh in and wii fit for BMI checks to keep me on track!

Welcome to a new month and a new challenge! I manage to lose and regain the same pounds in February so I ended up exactly the same weight :rotfl:, okay I have my birthday coming up at the end of this week (but seeing as Dr Dragon has not started his new job yet we wont be going out!), once Dr Dragon starts work again I will be able to start Rosemary Conley again with a vengeance so there will be no stopping me
