&-Week Challenge Team Europe / UK

Sounds like we all deserve a little break after this challenge. It has been fun though.... I wondered if anyone would be up for continuing to weigh-in together?

Boooie

I will carry on if you all want to, i think it helps keeping you motivated.. i think jitter was gonna start another for when this one ends... also i join in a monthly one if you want a link to that one to have a look x

Eviesmum

Hey there, I'd continue to weigh in here or do Jitters next challenge, I think if you tell people then you make sure you still do it properly. That doesn't make any sense :huh:

My midweek WI was 135 which I'm really pleased about as I've pigged out on cake twice this week ::bigsmile:

Ha, well, I actually bought Weight Watchers wine the other weekend and it was actually pretty nice! But the hen party is already set to involve a Friday night meal followed by cheap wine at a Wetherspoons, expensive but delicious cocktails at a cocktail bar, then muchos dancing at a club night, then on Saturday it's a fancy dress house party (involving chocolate pizzas, oh my) with booze and karaoke, before a meal on Sunday with my family. Phew! Might need to move into the gym for a week or so after that lot :P

I'd be happy to continue weighing in here if y'all like As well as the motivation of having to post my weigh ins out in the world, there's also the added support of having others in the same situation so I've been finding it really helpful

Eviesmum

Your Hen Party sounds fab - when is it, or have I missed some posts.

< will check previous pages now :-)

Sorry for multiple postings but I just have to inform y'all of my nsv this morning...... my husband said to my son 'wow, your mummy's legs are getting skinny' ..... no one has EVER referred to my legs that way! Also this week I have seen a lot of family and friends for the first time in a couple of months and had loads of positive comments. So even if that scale hasn't gone down tomorrow, I shall remain positive!
Huzzah! X x

Oh no gotta keep motivated. I didnt lose any more this week though, but i'm due on this week. I'm still pleased with the 2lbs loss.

Stacebob85

Starting weight: 179.5lbs
Week 1 weight: 177.5lbs
Week 2 weight: 176lbs
Week 3 weight: 175lbs
Week 4 weight: 175lbs
Week 5 weight: 174lbs
Week 6 goal: 172lbs
Week 6 weight: 173.5lbs

No biccies for me, so the challenge was fine.

Bit disappointed given that I tried really hard last week, but trying to console myself with the idea that losing 0.5lbs is still losing, so that's all good. Not expecting much this week though as I had a terrible weekend involving cocktails and eating out twice, and I will have little to no opportunity to hit the gym this week, so I'm simply setting my Week 7 goal as 173. Not gonna make the 10lbs weight loss, but any weight loss is good by me!

Stacebob85

Nice one Boooie! And everyone else, we're all doing great

I've been a bit grumpy about my weight loss this week (seem to have hit a slight plateau and finding it hard to shift into the next gear) but I'd thought I'd share a completely random,l highly hilarious experience with y'all; I was walking through Birmingham City Centre the other day on my way to meet a friend. I'd gone straight from work so was wearing my new size 16 coat from New Look (which always gives me confidence as I've not been a 16 since I stopped growing after puberty) and two guys a little ways behind me were having a conversation about celeb ladies they find attractive. Their conversation turned to people on the street they'd "do" and lo and behold, they both went for me! :P Now, any normal person would probably find that offensive and mysoginistic, but since most of my interactions with strangers in public have been them shouting fat-based insults at me, this felt great! I was tempted to turn around and hug them, but figured that might give them the wrong idea :P

here's the link for the final week.

Eviesmum

Cool thanks Sylvia :-)

nikkiws

Ta Sylvia, am already in mourning for this challenge, it has really kept me going weighing in with you girls and all your support. X x


:flowerforyou:

Stacebob85

Ah, I think I'm gonna epically fail this week; I don't do much in the way of strength training as I HATE doing it, and often hurt myself. Add that to the fact that this week has, so far, been a massive food fail... :S

Boooie

not looking good for me this week either lol sneaked a peak at scales and gained 1 so far. Really want to lose that and another lb to get to goal i set plus ill probably weigh in Friday as Friday night me and my mate are having a girlie wine and nibble night in so wont want to get on the scales Saturday lol Are we all going to keep on going together and then see if jitter starts another challenge ?

Stacebob85

I've gotta weigh in tomorrow; I'm off on Friday for the start of the hen weekend so I won't be around any scales after Thursday. Not expecting anything good, but at least I'm preapred for it so hopefully I won't crash and start crying at the clinic!

I'm game for keeping this thread going until Jitterbug does another challenge. Shame so many people dropped out; looks like the majority of people still in it are from our team so we have a good chance of winning :P

Boooie

Have a fantastic Hen weekend.. no worrying about what your eating and drinking ,just let your hair down and enjoy and have a few drinks for us to xx

nikkiws

Have a fab time stacebob, look forward to hearing about it after the weekend!
Think we should definitely keep going on weighing in each week, otherwise I think personally I will go down a sllippery slope of not being good! And of course I would miss hearing the little snippets of news from you all!
Reckon we stand quite a good chance of winning, don't think there are any other team left, just individuals. I don't mind winning by default! X x

Stacebob85

Thanks ladies I doubt after one or two cocktails there'll be much thinking at all, let alone about my calorie intake :P

Weight damage this week was actually less dramatic than I originally suspected; gained just half a pound. I'm not too disappointed since I was honestly expecting to put on about 1.5 or 2!

Winning is still winning, yeah? :P

Anyhoo, my final weigh-in:

Starting weight: 179.5lbs
Week 1 weight: 177.5lbs
Week 2 weight: 176lbs
Week 3 weight: 175lbs
Week 4 weight: 175lbs
Week 5 weight: 174lbs
Week 6 weight: 173.5lbs
Week 7 goal: 173lbs
Week 7 weight: 174lbs

Total challenge loss: 5.5lbs (not too shabby, if a terrible way from the target!)

No strength training for me this week.

Could someone ple post this to the Week 7 thread for me on Saturday; I'm not going to be around for most of the day. Ta very much

Eviesmum

Hello - Signing in for week 7 - wow that's gone really quickly.

After a busy weekend foodwise, I now weigh 133.8 so put on 8oz.

I'll keep an eye out for the Summer Challenge if Jitters starting one. I'm off to Birmingham now so could someone post my result for me.

Good luck everyone.

nikkiws

Hey all, will post final results for our tram later.
