    Well done Hanna! I've added it to the chart!


    Anyone want to put forward a challenge for this week or does everyone want to pick their own mini challenge?

    Hi All

    Calories burnt 3517 this week, and another half inch off the bust! Just off to Sainsburys for some new batteries for the scales - so hold that thought!!!

    Have just looked at my inch loss since November 2010 and I'm really happy I did the measurements back then, definately a motivator when the weight loss is not going as quickly as I'd like it.

    Inches lost so far:
    Bust 3.5
    Neck 1.3
    Waist 4
    Hips 3

    That's great V! Measurements are important too! Will wait and see what the scale says later too!

    My weight is the same as Monday so will put that on the chart.. 286.4lbs

    Not sure if this interests any of you but I found a % weigh loss calculator...

    http://www.fitwatch.com/qkcalc/calculate-weight-loss-percentage.html

    On this challenge I've lost 3.24%....

    Hanna - you've lost 2.75%
    Rach - you've lost a massive 4.23%!

    Even though it's awesome to lose weight in kg or lbs it's even better to realise you lose a percentage of your beloved body. Will be really interesting what we will end up with... Sad thing is that i have started to doubt myself. Maybe its just the time of the month, but i'm not sure if i will make it, losing 15 lbs that is... I'll have a pep talk with myself and we'll see if i work this one out. As far as new challenges, it would be awesome with a new mini challenge but for now i have nothing in mind. I long for my birthday and with some luck i'll get a new bathing suit (otherwise i'll buy one) so next week i'll be swimming off my weight.

    AND i just realised if I lose my 15 lbs in this challenge i've lost a total of 6.66% of my body weight. Maybe it's a sign ;)

    You are all fantastic. Well done Hanna getting under 100kg. That is my next goal. I really enjoyed the challenge and maybe after these days away will try and do some serious calorie burning. I am pretty happy with my food choices for today but than I have to sort of guess at food sizes etc and hope to choose something similar in the food diary. Saw the movie Black Swan tonight, that is a serious movie but it was good, I asked my daughter to get me a choc top (chocolate covered ice cream), she asked are you sure. YES I WAS. She came back with nothing queue was too long, we hate queques. Thank you Higher Diet Being you saved me.If anyone thinks of a new challenge, I'm in. But I can't think of any either.

    Thank you Jen! You will get under 100 before you know it!
  • Well my weigh in for the week is 258.2, so another 2 lbs! And finally I can start to tell that my pants are getting loose.

    Chili- that sounds like fun with the EA 2, I hope to get it in the next couple months, and being able to do challenges with friends would definitely keep me motivated!

    Good luck this week everyone! I love being a loser!

    Hey gang! I only lost one pound this week, but that's 4 sticks of butter gone forever! I didn't know about the 3500 challenge so I apologize for not staying on top of that. I will aim for that this week. I need to get up and move more for sure. Congratulations to everyone on their successes.

    My stats:
    SW: 260
    CW: 259
    GW: 170

    That is truly fantastic! You must be so proud of yourself!! I calculate that as a 3.17% loss since you began this challenge 3 weeks ago...

    Maintained this week, darn you TOM and messed up sleep pattern due to midnights. 255.4 looking forward to progress next week!

    My personal goal this week is to burn the 3500 calories and to add walking my dog 2x. She loves to go for walks, but I never take her because (a) I get winded too easily and (b) I am a slow walker and hate walking where anyone can see me. But, I am ready to buck up and do this. And I am hoping to be down another 5.8 pounds this week which would put me 5 pounds lighter than my personal goal for March 1st (hubby's b-day) and would meet my 15 pound challenge to reach by March 20th.

    Hope you all have a great week and congrats everybody on your hard work this week and your successes.

    I managed to miss that you started this thread til now... I definitely still want in too. I did not follow through on the 3500cal challenge and I am not sure I could get that much right now anyway. I have had the worst day ever today, and right now I would love nothing more than to sit down with a tub of ice cream or a bucket of mashed potatoes and just eat my sorrows away. Lucky for me, there is none of that kind of comfort food in my house. Hopefully I can get through the next few days without falling into the food trap.
    Thanks for keeping track of us, Chiliflea! Oh my weight as of last Friday was 274. Down a pound! I'll take it! :)

    Morning, 228.36 is this weeks weigh in. Not that happy as I seem to be at plateau. I think I should reduce my daily intake as at 1200 I seem to be maintaining as opposed to losing. Think I'll have a look on the biggest loser site today for some tips and changes I can make to the food.

    Don't get disheartened V...
    I've dropped my calorie intake to 1200 too... Couldn't manage to eat all the calories when I was on 1400 - what with eating back exercise calories - well, not healthily anyway!

    If you find anything useful would you be so kind as to post it? It may help others on the thread x

    Not much On the biggest loser by means of nutritional advice, but check out the recipes section, there's some good stuff on there. I think I must be a week behind or missed one episode as the website says that the female trainer has left, something to do with telling them to eat nuts and apples all week in order to win the weigh in! Ha ha maybe I should try thet to get things moving again! (not )

    ha ha! Yeah I watched that on itv 2 on tuesday (my biggest loser night - uk one then us one straight after!) How unprofessional of her!!! Bet the black team felt awful...

    Will have to have a look at the recipes on the site though - sometimes struggle to find things we can all eat as a family... Usually end up with me having something and my OH and the kids having something else!

    I did 60mins on the bike last night and got up this morning and did the Jillin Michaels DVD. I really want to show a weight loss this week.

    Thanks! The name comes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers (my favourite band) and my obsession over Flea, their bass player! Coincidently my daughter's nickname is also Flea!

    Knowing where you're going wrong is part of the battle of getting back on track so you're doing fine! Have a check back through your diaries and think about what you can realistically change and see if that works...

    Not sure if that will help but it's worth a try?

    It helps having your support. I really must shop and fill the kitchen with good food again.

    I set a goal for myself this week to burn 3500 calories plus walk the dog twice. Well, I took the dog for a walk today and we did 1.2 miles....I don't think that is too bad for our first day out. I have NEVER walked more than 20 minutes at a time and today was able to do 40. I am feeling so much better about myself and about losing this weight that I've been lugging around for the past 27+ years.

    Nice work ladies!

    You guys are doing awesome. Jenn you sound like your head is still in the right place, so I think you'll be fine ... just have to keep on keeping on. Days away have been my absolute downfall in the past. I go away fro a few days, don't track what I eat, and then it takes me weeks to get back on track, but you sound totally on to it! GO YOU!

    I'm doing good, managed to run 3km without walking a few days ago, which is just massive for me! I have another mini triathlon next weekend, this one has a 5km run, so I'm going to attempt to run 5km one day next week! Then I can attempt to run the whole of my triathlon, which will be a first! I'm feeling great atm.

    Happy Sunday everyone

    Rachel
