I looked up at the summit of Skiddaw a few years back and that took 4000 calories off me. Had to rush off and get a cream tea.

hehehe! That's usually my style, but I was misinformed by my DH that it isn't as bad as it looks!! (that said there were blokes RUNNING up:eek:) It was a boiling hot day, and I drank all of the water about a third of the way up. When we got back into Keswick I ran into the swimming baths and practically knocked people over to get to the drinks machine, and promptly downed a 500ml bottle of coke, followed by water. I must have looked like a right nutter, crazed look on my face, drenched in sweat....:rotfl:

I did striding edge on Helvellyn about 2 years ago. Never again! I needed several cream teas.

well done! I was sold on Skiddaw because I was told it is the "easy" one. I reckon you have to be practically superhuman to do striding edge.:D

Well done everyone on your losses. Had my weigh in at SW yesterday and lost 1/2lb. Was a bit disappointed tbh because I had been so good but I am hoping it all shows up next week instead!

6 1/2 lb to go! xxx

can people tell me what their bmi target is so i can get an idea what is reasonable-i am currently 23.6 and everyone i meet that hasnt seen me for a while keeps showing concern for my health!!--even my wife says i am too thin and the gym muscle men instructors are saying i am crazy dieting because i am too thin and need some muscle!

I'm not going by BMI, it depresses me. According to those charty things, to be in my healthy BMI range/ideal weight I need to be 8 stone 7 and quite frankly I don't want to be that thin.

I had a week off last week so this is my first weigh in for June and I've lost 2 1/2lbs and am finally in the 11 stones, woop!
