Well done to everyone who completed the previous challenges :j, and a warm welcome to all newcomers! (if I forget to put you on the first page list - nag at me until I do :rotfl:, oh and you don't have to let anyone know your starting weight unless you really want to!)
Here goes for another half stone challenge! Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for August ! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it
This is a useful site for tracking your weight, food etc
http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php
You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!
If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Count me in for this month too. Final weigh in for July is on Monday so will be ready for the next 4 weeks. Thanks for the support all through July guys. It's really helped knowing I'm not alone!Smashed through my weightloss target. Looking at 120lbs+ loss. BMI over 40 down to 20.5. Training hard to get body fat under 20%, not far to go now :j0

Count me in too. Last month was great with you guys. :T
I'll post my sw tomorrow morning after I've been weighed at the gym. My goal for the month is 7lb loss and to decrease my body fat by 2%.
I'm heading to Silverstone late August and if I'm going to bag myself a racing driver I need to be in good shape :rotfl:

Hey everyone. I'd like to join...I need to lose around two stone to be happy, I think. At the moment, my weight just seems to increase or stay the same...
I don't know how I'll turn this around, but I'd like to give it a go0 -
Hi all, I'd like to join. Was quite happy with lose for last month (well so far, haven't done final weigh in yet!) so hopefully can keep it up. Out of interest what plans do people have? I've been a lot more relaxed with the diet, am just trying to eat more healthily and snack less, but am trying to concentrate on doing more exercise and does seem to be working so far. Am on the 30day shred as well as doing quite a bit of walking - am thinking about possibly adding a swim session or exercise class this month.0
