  • Ohhh.....This is very interesting to read this thread.

    If you want to post a result monthly you can - I could average the result over the number of weeks?

    Hope you enjoyed your hols, and well done with the loss.:T:T

  • Hi everyone, sorry for going AWOL for a while. I have been going to the gym lots, doing tons of walking, eating ok and STILL the weight won't shift!! I have STS for two weeks now :-(

    Getting quite dispirited really - I haven't stuck to low carbing that strictly any more, but neither have I pigged out big time. According to my Fitbit I walked 43 miles last week, surely that would be worth a half pound loss?!

    Strangely enough my friend who is following the 5:2 diet has got to the same point, we're half way along in our weight loss journeys and what worked before isn't working now, we're a bit stuck as to what to do.

    Please put me down for the Ironman challenge anyway Fred, whilst I sulk off to have a hot chocolate…..
    Finally debt free!! March 2018 :j

    I've been stuck for 7 months :eek:

    I started out on a low carb diet and lost 2st, then my weight stuck and I changed to Slimming World but my weight is still stuck. I can't up my exercise because of the ME but now I'm looking at portion sizes to see if that will make a difference.

    I've weighed early this week as I'm away Thursday til' Sunday.

    Weight: STS

    Callanetics: 2 hrs

    Will miss ballroom this week with being away but expect to do lots of walking during that time.

    STS since last Wednesday so a change of plan this month please fredsnail. Is it possible just to log gardening hours? If so, then 3 hours 45 minutes.
    Thanks.

    Here's this weeks chart:

    No losers this week so no SoTW this week.

    It gets frustrating when things don't happen but sometimes it just isn't the right time for it to happen - whatever happens you are not a number and you are a person not just a weight - don't get hung up on the number and miss out on life because you're battling to get to a certain weight.

    It's not too late for anyone to join our team challenge this month - chose either US (for the US open) or China (for the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships).

    Here's the final chart for the Bog Snorkling Challenge:

    Well done to everyone taking part.

    Here's the first Iron Man chart of the month:
