    I'm going out for a walk in a little while. It won't be a massively long hike but is going to be round the walls and ridge of Wareham.

    I will work out how far it was when I get back using mapmyrun....although it will probably more of a mapmyhuffingpuffingwalk :rotfl:

    And yes folks (for those that know me and my stupid driving phobia!!) it means........I'm going to drive there.........:eek:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Fantastic on the walking and the driving BB, the walking will get so much easier and quite quickly too. I remember doing our first ever 6 mile walk which took us almost 2 and a half hours.

    We looked like a couple of people that had been marooned in the desert when we returned home:rotfl: Now we can motor it around in an hour and a half. You just need to keep it up!

    As for the driving.......just one more fear you will conquer my friend xx

    Hi everyone,

    I would love to join the challenge . I have just weighed myself and am now my heaviest at 10.5 st. I only weighed 10St when I was 9mth pregnant with DS!:eek:. I have a very small frame and really can't carry weight well.. My weight gain is all around the middle so i probably now look like I am 9 months pregnant:o:o.

    Anyway for the spring challenge I would like to lose 10 1bs which will be a nice birthday present for me on the 17th March;)

    Thanks and good luck to everyone:)

    Hi Buffy

    I recorded a scary weigh too (my heaviest ever :o) but, as somebody said to me, this is the heaviest you will ever be and you will never have to see that weight again :p

    Good luck hun, we can do this (I have 28-35lbs to lose :eek:)

  • I remember going to weight watchers and thinking 11 stone bad. Its strange how it just creeps up, I haven't noticed, gone up a dress size -only one although I 've not got very many comfortable clothes.And as there has been no man on the scene for a while I haven't bothered.

    oh dear. I have such a lot to do. Its going to take at least six months. Mind you that fits in well with the end of the school year and my re assessment plan. I could have it all sorted.

    Buffy - I am feeling just the same. Realised this morning that I haven't lost my 'Christmas' weight from last Christmas - or the one before that :o

    I think we can be quite similar - full of 'all or nothing' plans and then not actually getting anything done :p Well this time there are no fad diets and promises to lose a stone in a week - just steady weightloss through healthy eating. My target is 3lbs this week, and a total of 10lbs for January - doable I think :D
