Hi.
Just been clicked on the link that chrisv posted.
Seems I am obese and need to loose 3 stone. I agree with it.
Going to break it down to 7lbs at a time.
Will there be a new challenge soon?

ilovetea xx

Welcome

Hello everyone,

Please can I join your next challenge. I lost weight last year and got to target in July but 7lbs has crept on again. I find it really hard to be strict with myself when 'it's only 7lbs', but if I don't catch it now, I'll be back where I was a year ago. So with your support I hope to get the weight off without going back to class.

So -7lbs for me Kathrynha. Thanks :T:T

Welcome BS:wave:
Wish i had only 7lbs too lose but well done for tackling it:T

Hi all, well done everyone who hasn't gained too much!!

Thank you kathrynha for doing the chart again. Sorry to hear about your hospital visit! I hope you're feeling a bit better than you were. :cool:

I'm officially on holiday until next week so I'm not weighing in this week, but I'd like to join the new challenge with a goal of -8lbs please.

Anything after midnight on Sunday is in the new challenge.

Technically any weigh in's on Monday the 1st will be in both challenges, but it will be simpler in the long run if our challenge weeks run the same as the SW weeks, so that when people go to a group that isn't their regular, it won't give them 2 weigh ins for one week and none for another, which a couple of us had over Christmas.

Thank you I get it :T

*sneaks back in with tail between legs*

I have been a very naughty girl

Christmas started for me after my trip to Lanzarote in early October! I just could not get myself back on plan afterwards. I even bought a countdown in group to try and motivate myself, but only went for about 2 or 3 of the 12 weeks It only ran out this week. Such a waste of money :mad:

I've not been near my own scales either, as I'm too scared. Realistically I think I'm probably a stone heavier than when I joined in September :eek: I was dreading going back to group and having to spend ages relosing, just to get back to where I started. I messaged my consultant this evening and she's going to set me up as a new member again when I go back Thursday. Feeling a bit better about it now. In all honesty though, I know I'm going to keep eating like a pig until then :rotfl:

Can you put me down for -14lb for the new challenge please kathrynha? Since I'm starting again I won't have a weigh in until the second week of the challenge.

I'm absolutely amazed by all the fabulous losses over the Christmas period. Well done to you all :T:T:T

Welcome back Whiplashy. Nothing to be ashamed of. We all have tines like that. I am finishing this challenge a number of pounds heavier than when I started it. You (and i) will lose it again

Bubbs - Are you joining our 20,000 steps challenge?

I'm too embarrassed to post my Christmas gain. I'm ending the challenge heavier than when I started

I did not drink enough water (or any drink actually - severely dehydrated which happens far too frequently in my life), not enough fruit and I'm not regular...but that always happens when I'm not on track with hydration or fibre!
I compromised this year and we went o mil's for Christmas lunch.
it wasn't as bad as usual but certainly wasn't particularly close to plan! next year we have agreed either we will host my parents or we will go to theirs. depends on how dad's health is...it doesn't look good for him at the moment!

Yep. If people want to post their targets they can. It will be a 9 week challenge, finishing on 4th March. Will set up the new thread this weekend.

Going to run the new challenge with the weeks going from Monday morning to Sunday evening to fit with slimming world.

Also if anyone has a suggestion for the thread title please post them.

Can I go for 9lb for my next target please.

trying to get back on it today:
breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with red pepper, lean bacon and mushrooms
lunch: small portion of homemade soup
tea: took OH to frankie and bennys. i had a steak with salad and 1 onion ring (3syn) approx 4.5 syn in coleslaw. diet pepsi to drink
i am going to have my first mince pie of the season (!) which will take me over my 15 (11 for the mince pie - 18.5 in total) however i will be much lower the rest of the week. I will likely freeze the others to avoid temptation!

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and was treated well. I did particularly well this year and got my soupmaker at last! Can't find my little book of soups so ordered another copy at group yesterday however I've already made leek and potato and also carrot and cauliflower. just need to work on the volume of liquids I'm adding
I went to asda yesterday and got £32 worth of fruit and veg for £3.92 (split between us and my parents) so got lots of soup making supplies and also some sweet clems, strawberries, grapes and raspberries to keep me going. going to freeze the rasps and strawbs for overnight oats. trying to spend as little (on everything) as possible after this week but have some easiyo sachets to make up and use (easy to syn) for oats etc. will just by the essential milk and ham.

I also did my fitness DVD today as I couldn't get to the gym (didn't fancy attempting the ungritted roads to be honest!) i did it start to finish which impressed me as it's a while since i did it!

I would love to be at target by next Christmas however i do want to pace myself somewhat so I'm aiming for a steady 1 or 2lb a week. if I can manage 1lb a week average I'll be there

OH has changed his hours at work and we changed childcare so my routine now should look a little more along the lines of:
Monday: gym (cardio - bike/treadmill/cross-trainer for 45-60mins) whilst littlie is at school
Tuesday: work - then a few rounds on the dvd (hiit based) before a light tea (maybe not the whole dvd as its a bit over an hour and I'll have little one to feed and bed)
Wednesday: work - then gym (cardio again as above)
Thursday: work - the sw group
Friday: work - then dvd (as above)

I'm contracted to my gym membership until around july then i may cancel as I'll not go much over summer and hopefully I'll get in to a decent groove with exercising at home alongside taking little one swimming/out etc
