    Oooh, new thread. :)

    Weigh in day tomorrow. Kinda nervous. Completed day 44 of Insanity today and went on the cross trainer too for 30mins. Hope tomorrows weigh in reflects my efforts, but if I don't get a loss, I won't be too disappointed, as I can actually feel my arms getting more toned.

    Just wish i'd lose my huge thighs, arghh.

    EDIT: Fred, haven't posted in a while on the other thread, but can you please put me down for next months 5lbs challenge and for Southern Stunners.

    Sorry Fred, can you change it to a STS please. Let's just say my digestive system caught up with me. ;) I think it's less than that as I drank quite a bit of water, and had a few bites of food, but I'll just say what the scales say, and the scales show 65.6kg. Not happy with that, but better than a 0.9lbs gain lol.

    Thanks Margaret.Im actually a hand holding type of gal so I really want to go to meetings.One of the biggest reasons I stopped meetings previously is the leader at the group I was at before had all the time in the world for her "successes",but if you weren't losing consistently she didn't pay much attention.Within weeks of not going to meetings I started to drop off in all different ways.

    i know from previous weight loss cycles that as long as you weigh on the same day of the week- at the same time of day with the same clothes on after following the same routine for that day every week then you get as close to accurate as..so Im fine with doing my weigh ins like that:)

    I am not weighing in this week as the 'holiday gain' is very temporary (hopefully) - will weigh in next week I promise. Anyhow, I have done 50.9 miles for the marathon challenge. Thanks fred.

    Really pleased to have lost - 2lb this week. I have been working hard to reduce my carbs and excercise and it seems to being doing the trick.

    Fred, can you put me down for the - 5 lb monthly challenge.

    I am a bit confused about the Buckfast Beauties - I always thought that Buckfast was in Devon - in the South? Anyway, I am from 'up north' so please put me down for that.

    I can see BLs11e17 on 'some website or other' but with no comments so don't know if it's legit?

    I lost track after about E10, great series though!

    On the knees front, I've been a martyr to my knees for the past 20 years. Walking down the very deep spiral staircase at Covent Garden Underground, when the lift was out of order, (almost 200 steps) in my early 20's amongst a very large crowd, so I couldn't go at a slower pace, put paid to my poor knees. I guess it was the better alternative to walking UP the staircase, which is coronary inducing in even the healthiest. I take it easy when exercising them, but am now able to do squats with weights, cycling isn't a problem, and I power-walk uphill on the treadmill. If I get any discomfort I ease off any exercise that has any impact on them, and focus on other target areas of the body instead.

    One trip up or down is proabably enough to kill most people. I did it in august a year or two ago, going up the stairs. I felt weak, horrible and faint after that!! Took me ages to recover!
