    Hey Leela, no you are not..you are only "kicked out" if you dont weigh in for two weeks in a row. Do you have your weight for this week?

    How's everyone doing this week?
    I WAS doing okay, but I've just had steak, garlic mushrooms and chips* which is one of the very few meals I add salt to, so I dread to think how much water I'll be retaining tomorrow!

    *Half a piece of steak, small number of oven chips, homemade garlic cream mushrooms made with 50% fat creme fraiche, steak garnished with two cloves of garlic (sliced and fried in 1/2 tsp olive oil until crispy) - total 417 calories! :)

    Today was our girls day out, it involves having a picnic lunch and a meal out in the evening. I was extremely restrained all afternoon, made sensible food choices in the evening, but oh dear, those cocktails...!

    In total I had nearly 2,000 calories, which is above even the maintenance figure for me. No regrets at all, even if I don't lose this week, it's something I rarely do and it was a lot of fun, but with the weigh in being tomorrow, I do feel as if I'm going to let the side down. Sorry team! :embarassed:

    EDIT: On the plus side, someone took a great photo of me, which is the first one for maybe 20 years that hasn't made me cringe! :smile:
    I've been around this weight a lot in those years, but working out has made me look far slimmer at this weight than I have in the past. :)

    Well, let's see it girl! Show your hard work off! :)

    I had a pretty good week. I've lost pretty steadily for the last few weeks, so as long as I'm down at least a pound this week I'll be happy. I hope we all killed it this week!

    Nice work everyone! I'm at 188 this morning. That's a 1 pound loss. I was hoping for 2 pounds, but TOM had other plans for me.

    Cheers to another great week!

    I'm 159.6, that's .2 lbs down from last week.

    I didn't do the challenges very well because I was pretty busy, but I'm happy that I didn't gain.

    Great job this week, Gryffindors!!! :)

    Food Challenge:
    Try using different herbs, vinegar, citrus juices etc. as your spices instead of soy sauce and other sauces. A salad with either balsamic vinegar or one tbsp olive oil and one tbsp lemon juice is delicious! Add 1/4 cup parmasean cheese and some whole grain crackers as crutons and you have a very healthy and delicious cesar salad! Plain baked chicken with rosemary or red pepper flakes and garlic is delicious also! Experiment a little! :)

    Exercise Challenge:
    Try to up the intensity of your workouts 2-3 days this week! If you generally walk, try walking faster for a few minutes or do a little jogging. If you are strength training, try upping the reps some or increasing the weight. Just enough to stress your body a little bit but not to make you super sore. :)
    ______

    I'm ready to step up my workouts a bit, so this will be a good start! And I don't use a lot of sauces, but I'm going to try to experiment for fun :)

    Shout out your suggestions as you find them, guys! GO Gryffindor!!!

    Sorry for the late report on my weigh-in! I was 162.6 last week, and this morning I weighed in at 160.6! I’ve lost two pounds this week.

    May 22: 135.4
    May 29: 133.2
    June 5: 132.0

    I'm on vacation this week, so I do not want to know what the scales will look like when I get home. I'm trying to exercise when I can and choose the healthier option at most meals, but it's definitely difficult. If I'm lucky, it won't cause any backsliding.

    Hope everyone is happy with their losses! Yay Gryffindor!
