    Hello everyone,

    Fred - I would like to report another 4lbs loss!!:j

    I can't quite believe how well things are going and I'm a bit worried that its coming off a bit quick. I am obviously in the correct frame of mind for doing this. I'm managing to stick with my healthy eating plan.

    Dexter and I are going for lots of lovely walks, he is also really benefitting running about with his other doggy pals. Happy Dog = Happy Owner. :T

    I'm aiming to lose another 2 lbs next week and that will be my stone for the month. Fingers crossed!!;)


  • Reporting a STS this week, so still 2lbs over my target weight. Those pesky pounds have got to go!!!

  • whats up with my body its s.t.sfor me
    :)"QUEEN OF THE CATALOGUES"...
    2019£2 savers .
  • I'm reporting a disappointing STSthis week also :mad: Think the few days of feeling poorly hit me. Also had an upset tummy too on top and feel like a bloated whale so don't think that is helping either.....

    Fred - can I add
    276 sets of Home stairs
    38 sets of Work stairs

    Thank you :A Still not at the top yet but I have my eye on the top and will make sure I make it even if it kills me :rotfl:

    Romylou Well done on the great Loss :j go you :T

    Lolly - Glad you got your Foot checked, just take it slow and let it recover properly.

    As far as the exercise DVD question goes - I know I am a little late but I would vote for the 30 day shred as it was good for me. I have just borrowed from a work colleague the 6 week 6 pack by Jillian Michaels which I hope to attack when I am feeling better.
    Restarting C25K in 2014 - Week 8 - 1/3 completed

    Need to loose 25lb / 3lb lost so far :(

    I will do a final chart next week for this challenge and will take any results posted upto the 31 Jan.

    Next month will be a Valentines/leap year challenge. Paris is allegedly the most romantic city. It is 213 miles from London to Paris.

    Congratulations to Romylou and ms_night_ryder who have achieved this months 5lb challenge.

    Hi all :wave:

    Well done Romylou - that's a great loss! :T

    I'd like to join in the Paris challenge, although I'm not quite sure how it works. Do I report in how many miles I walk? Can I count miles cycled?

    And I'd like to join the George Clooney team - I haven't seen any of those films so I've gone for the person I like best! ;)

    Thanks for all your work Fred, you're doing a fantastic job. :D

    I'm linedancing again this afternoon, and I walk or cycle there, 1km each way, which explains my query above. :)

    Hope everyone's having a good day.

    LL

    p.s. edit to add, in case anyone thinks linedancing is all country music, we're learning a new dance to Olly Murs record, 'Just want you to dance with me tonight'. It just came on the radio and reminded me!
