IA's Lose the belly, bum (and debt) challenge in 2008

Thanks Poor hun. I was just hoping to do better than that. I've even been exercising :rolleyes:

Spud, give your body a bit of time to adjust to the exercise hun - you might find you have to persevere for a couple of weeks because you will build muscle, which is denser (heavier) than fat, but the muscle is much more efficient at burning off calories than the fat is, so it will start to come off. Don't give up on it, it will be working, you just can't see the results yet.

Well done everyone on your losses. :T

Hmmm, exercise, I must try that some time.;)

If you have done loads of exercise could you have built muscle that would weigh heavier than the fat you were losing??

Just girding myself for a walk but watching Saturday kitchen which thankfully isn't tempting me because it is fish (urgh):p

Keep trying Spud, with all the exercise I've been doing I was expecting more of a loss too but alas it wasnt there. Think of it this way, if we lost roughly a kilo a week without exercising imagine what we could lose with exercising! I'm hoping for about an extra .5kg a week lost based on the fact that 1lb is 3500cals and I roughly exercise about 400cals a day so multiply that by 7 days = 2800cals which is almost a lb. I don't know if it'll work but I'm gonna try.
Keep your chin up, even if you aren't losing any extra weight think how much fitter you'll be :T

I'm late as usual, but please can I join you? I've been carrying a stone of extra fat for a while, which has unfortunately now reached 2 stones.....

I can't even blame any pregnancy pounds - due to being a boy!

Go onnnnn, let me play.....please?

Late starter here!

I want to get down to about 10st 5. (I'm a lanky tall bird, any less and I start looking boney) so I dont get a dreaded muffin top over my favourite size 12 jeans.

Height 5'9", weight 11st 3, waist 31", hips 39"
No point in doing my chest measurement, I went down to 9 st 7lb once and although I lost a size around my back, I went up a cup size. I think these puppies are here to stay!

No real time scale on this, just slow and steady, need to shrink my stomach after all the festivities.

never got to weigh myself this weekend as I wasn't up to going to the gym. don't expect I would have lost much though but maybe this week! will try going out for a wee walk at lunchtime too if it's not too rainy (never remember a brolly).
