Evening all -1lb for me , i missed my challenge by 1/2lb:( I was slimmer of the month
Good news as well went for my results from my 2 monthly review for diabetes and i am no longer in diabetic range :dance: :dance: but will always be classed as diabetic

Well done. Missing your challenge is nothing against the amazing losses you have had.
Good news about the diabetic range.

Hi everyone,

I've not been posting menus, but I'm still trying to stick to plan.

1lb off for me this week

I'm feeling really fed up with everything at the moment & I've booked 2 weeks holiday from class. I am going away this weekend and then again for a week. Both trips are active so I'm hopeful for not too much damage.

Well done to everyone who is losing.

Ooh - I meant to say that I'm now on week 7 of the couch to 5K and can run for 25 mins without stopping. :j I managed 10000 steps yesterday (although I have to admit to jogging on the spot in my PJ's for the last 200 )

So, I should be happy! I'm fitter and I weigh less than when the challenge started even if I didn't make my target.

Well done on the loss, and the steps. Puts my steps to shame.
I feel the same as you about feeling fitter and weighing less than when the challenge started, despite missing my target. The target would be nice, but it is just a number. How you feel is more important.

Yesterday was a bit off on the food. Because it was so busy, I didn't eat enough during the day, and then was starving at bedtime, but what I ate was within syns.
Ending the day with 9575 steps and 46 active minutes.
Starting to think one week towards silver will be possible this week, after initially thinking it would take a few weeks to build up to silver level

Today's plan
Breakfast - baked oats
Lunch - out with mum. Hoping there will be a nice salad option
Dinner - Stir fry
Snacks - none planned

HA - milk
HB - oats
Syns - know there will be some

Body magic - aiming for 7000 steps and 15 active minutes

Morning all.

Well I got away with the bunfest yesterday - -1lb this week, despite that and other naughtiness involving hula hoops. That leaves me 11lbs to my original target set at the start of the year. I'm short again on my target for the thread - perhaps I need to be a bit more realistic about the rate of weight loss for the next, so Shala can I have 7.5lb for the next challenge, which will get me to the next stone barrier.

I'm off on a short holiday in a couple of weeks time, all inclusive which may have been a mistake but it was a real bargain and a much needed break for me and OH, so I plan to enjoy it!

Some good losses again so well done, losers, and those upping their exercise. Ruthy I've had the couch to 5k app downloaded for months but done nothing with it - your efforts may inspire me! Good news Bubbs on your health, that's brilliant.

Lots of body magic going on with people on the thread. Puts me to shame - my body magic consists of walking around the shops mainly! unless we're away in the motorhome when we seem to walk for miles every day. Will be glad when we get away again. Hoping to get away for a few days next week as long as it passes the MOT on Monday!

Today's plan:

B - boiled eggs; soldiers; fruit
L - ham salad
D - fish, chips, peas; fruit & quark to follow. I'm having a piece of baked white fish and DH is having a piece of battered fish (will also be baked not fried!)

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - butter 2; nothing else planned as had 2 days worth of syns yesterday:eek:.

Hullo all, may I join in? I got referred to SW by my GP for high blood pressure. I've been going for 14 weeks now (got a countdown when my referral ran out) and have lost 1st 10.5lbs so far. My interim target is another 2 st 1lb away so nearly halfway there. My final target is 3st 11lb away. I don't know if I will ever get there as I have never been that light in my adult life but I at the moment I am focused on the interim target (which also I thought was impossible but is seeming increasingly doable!).

I have also dropped from a size 20 to a size 16 so am well chuffed!

Enough waffling. My plan for today is:
Body Magic: 10 mins exercise bike - DONE
Breakfast: Little bit of leftover pasta and some almond milk
Lunch: Vegetable bulgur wheat, cabbage curry, mixed lentils
Dinner: Homemade SW cottage pie, steamed veg

HEA: Almond milk + little bit of semi skimmed milk and reduced fat cheddar in pasta & cottage pie
HEB: 2 Hi Fi bars
Syns: Possibly none though probably one Milk Tray type chocolate

Welcome Mouche
It's sounds like you've done fabulously so far.

I'm off plan for the weekend as we are away with the inlaws but I'm trying to be good.
B. Melon
L. Chicken salad burrito. HEA for the cheese in it. Shared with DH too
D. Having a pub dinner when we get to the hotel. Will try to avoid chips and pudding. Will definitely not avoid wine��

Took ds to a uni open day today. We walked everywhere rather than getting the campus bus and I have done 12k steps already !

Hi all and welcome Mouche.

-3lbs for me this week and for the first time ever completed the challenge

AlwaysHappy

Weigh in for me and a 3lb loss this was unexpected but has also got me to my target weight so absolutely thrilled with that. I feel happy in my skin and don't quite recognise the person in the mirror if that makes sense. I have been in denial about my weight loss, not daring think the figures on the scales equated to an actual loss on my body, but there is no mistaking - Last night I ditched my jeans that I've been holding up with a belt and got into new ones ... 2 sizes smaller. Likewise with work skirt - new one - 2 sizes.. Keep the faith everyone... each 1/2lb loss really does make a difference.
