Great loss Mandz & all the loosers.
Well done Occy.
Best advice I can give you is slowly slowly.
I have previously got to goal and then put all back on as took my eye off the ball.

My final October challenge post - another 7.5 miles for me

I think I've walked more this October than I have in any other month and I'm very pleased about that - looking forward to next month's challenge already! Thanks Fred! :T And everyone else!

well set up the wii fit today trying out different stuff ,weight different to work scales 3+ however not worried expected it to be different .anyone on here using this as their main exercise and any tips

That's what I'm using. I tend to find that only the jogging and the hula hoop really bring me out into a sweat with the wii fit itself, but I mix it in with cardio boxing and have just started the 30 Day Shred.

Just FYI, I'm doing:
30 minutes step (was 60 before I started the shred)
30 minutes free jogging
30 minutes cardio boxing
30 day shred

If I'm short of time I skip the step and boxing, but keep the shred and jogging which I find toughest. When I first started I did 30 minutes from the "routines" bit of wii fit plus.

If you want to weigh yourself every day fine, but I suggest not really paying attention to daily fluctuations and looking at longer term (i.e. weekly). Weigh yourself naked then with your workout gear so you know how much to account for.

Hope something in there is helpful and not just waffle!

P.S. I realised mid-week that I passed my first stone last Wed :j

1lb loss this week. Certainly slowing down as I near target!

Occy - maintenance is the BIG problem for me. I am the classic yo-you dieter! I find it very hard to stay at a stable weight.

I have been reading The Food Doctor book, and he advocates a 80/20 approach to eating, healthy foods 80% of the time, 20% of foods as treats. My treat is organic dark chocolate and strong brewed coffee.
Not really interested in bread any more or potatoes and my sweet tooth is gone too.
I eat nuts instead of crisps/biscuits when I fancy a "crunch".
But I still think of food a lot, which I don't think is a healthy attitude!

Does anyone have any suggestions for the challenges for next month?

We need a team one and a exercise one.

I can't not be a Catherine wheel, that's my name!

I'll stick my neck out Fred and say, put me down for a return trip - 14 hours - Zumba, walking and a good old mosh at the Carter USM gig should cover that!
