Lose Weight 35

fredsnail

Welcome to our new thread :j :beer:

Spring is trying to arrive so it's time to shift the lbs and get a spring in your step

and get the figure you've always wanted :j

Welcome to the place where we encourage you not to save £'s but to lose Lb's instead

So you wanna lose weight? Whether you want to lose a few pounds or several stone - you've come to the right place! Need a chat, a shoulder, encouragement and advice perhaps or even some downright silliness (even late at night or early in the morning)??

Pull up a chair and join in the chat, whatever plan you're following to lose weight, be it SW, WW, RC, or just plain old reducing what you eat and increasing the exercise, there'll be someone here that can help and advise, or offer moral support. The more you join in the chat more support you will get from the thread.

There are plenty of regulars here who follow all types of plan and will be willing and able to help you out or at least point you in the right direction.

During the course of the week, feel free to post your weekly loss, gain or no change, and see your results in a chart that's updated every Wednesday evening. To help me quickly spot the losses late at night, please post the loss as BOLD and Colourful as possible (Its helps those of us with bad eyes )

The chart is currently maintained by me, so if you can post your result before 10pm on a Wednesday you will be included on the chart.

Also you can take part in the 5lb monthly challenge - This is a fun mini motivational monthly challenge, in which the goal of losing 2lb per week, is spread out to 5lb per month. To get started so get your name down quick and post your name and start the new list. You could be Slimmer of the Week, or Slimmer of the Month! :j:j

We also currently have a monthly team challenge so if you want to join one of the teams it's never too late. This month we've a resolutions challenge - teams are no resolutions, 1 resolution and lots of resolutions. If you want to take part send me a pm with the team you want to join and your starting weight. Then post your loss (or gain) each Wednesday :j

Sometimes we also have a monthly exercise challenge in January we will be embarking on an Cross Country Skiing challenge - Click here for more details. We try to make these challenges suitable for all levels of fitness to encourage as many people to take part.

A few abbreviations:
STS ~ Stay The Same (No change in weight)
SOTW ~ Slimmer Of The Week
SOTM ~ Slimmer Of The Month

Thanks to fredsnail for starting a new 'Lose Weight' thread.

I've made this thread sticky and I'll leave the 'Lose Weight 34' thread sticky for a few days and then unstick it.

Regards

fredsnail

You're both very kind.

Not sure Beanie on the thread length - I do one every 100 pages as I figure that's long enough.

Lois, enjoy your line dancing social. Does OH line dance as well?

Not much planned for the weekend. Bookcamp this morning. Then DD1 is visiting for the weekend. Don't get to see her as much as I would like so looking forward to that.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Finished a full week (6 days) of Insanity (in the mornings) and Turbofire in the afternoons/evenings :j:j Tomorrow is my rest day :j It went well, however, I have been on annual leave this week due to the half term. I don't know if I'll be so keen next week to come home from work and still workout. We'll see

Don't know if this prize is of use to anyone on here:

Hi all

Today was rather overshadowed when a friend died suddenly of a heart attack this morning. She's a neighbour, one of my linedancing buddies and we both do the same job so it came as something of a shock.

The other golf widow and I went to a friend's for coffee, then had lunch, followed by - guess what - shopping!

Jess - OH doesn't do linedancing but he doesn't mind coming along to the socials as there are always line dancing widowers he can chat to (and drink with!).

Beanie - hope you get some warm weather soon.

Fred - 4km for me please.
