Loserville Challenge 3 (CLOSED GROUP)

Good job Rach on the loss and on finding yet again what works for you. I think it is important to change things up once in awhile both calorie and exercise wise to keep your body guessing.
The next few days I will be struggling to get through. I absolutely HATE July 4-6 due to bad memories that come up each year......the 4th is the anniversary date of my grandfather (he was like a father to me) having a stroke and went into a coma, the 5th is the anniversary date of a miscarriage I went through, and the 6th is the anniversary date of my grandfather's death.....so needless to say lots of pain during this next week to once again deal with. I swear no matter how many years go by the pain does not subside. And this is the anniversary of my husband having killed 22 in Iraq so he too hates this time of year......but we will once again struggle through it. We should be celebrating our Independence Day, yet it brings bad memories for both of us.......UGH!!
And of course TOM is visiting so that is no help with my weight or emotions.0 -
Right you lot! I'm back! I did NO exercise other than walking about and running after the kids... I ate FAR too much (breakfast and evening meal included means you feel sort of inclined to eat lots - after all, you've paid for it! Too many desserts and sausage and bacon for breakfast!) I DRANK far too much but had an utterly FABULOUS time! The weather was glorious too...
Anyway - guess I'm waiting for the next train to Loserville now! Think I've probably put on LOTS of weight in the last week :blushing: I won't weigh today as it's too late in the day so I'll hop on the scales tomorrow morning and after I've had a cry I'll pull myself together and log it...
I know TOM is on his way too though I can't blame ALL my gain on him I can contribute some of it to him at least!
Good to be back peeps! Missed you all!0 -
I have been MIA a lot and feel like I have hit a wall and struggling to bash it down, but I am determined to get back in the game this week. It hasn't helped I have been crazy busy with a huge project at work the last couple of weeks and TOM have arrived so last week I was suffering worse than usual with PMT, super weepy, no motivation. Lots more exercise this week me thinks! I am on earlys at work this week as well, so can just head down after work and still get home at a half decent time.
I am debating doing some ridiculous 500 cal a day program in a last ditch effort to drop a stone before my holiday but know I will probably put it all back on my first day out in Vegas!0 -
what we need is a challenge!!!0
-
Oh sweet Monday!
I am just checking in to let you all know that you have been truly missed. Will read what you all been up to lately tomorrow.
Have had a great (irresponsible!) time since last time I was her. Lost weight surprisingly, now down to 91.5kg or 201.3lbs. Feel like I definitely don't deserve that huge loss, but I couldn't be happier.
So long ladies. I have got 48h free from work now so I'll start my more responsible life tomorrow...
LOVE!!!0 -
How about a who can burn the most calories challenge?0

I'm in!!0 -
Yup - sounds good to me!
Hanna - is that an awesome new haircut?!
it! 0 -
Hanna -- LOVE the new hairstyle and pic!!
Welcome back Becki and Claire -- missed you girls
Becki i am still right there with ya! Seems I have been on this roller coaster of emotions and emotional eating for a while now. And the fluctuating weight is driving me NUTS!!
I too am up for a new challenge (once TOM leaves, that is)
Not feeling well at all today....TOM is kicking my butt and causing extreme cramping and migraine. Unfortunately I have to work in an hour for an 8 hr shift...only good thing about today is that I make time and a half so at least that is something. And I am up in weight thanks to my not so friendly visitor. Cravings and eating have been out of control this time around. I can usually ignore them, but they have gotten the best of me. I am still below the recommended calories, but way higher than my norm and with little to no exercise going on I can completely understand the gain (though I am down 2 pounds from Saturday's weight). So had to change the ticker once again .... UGH!!
Hope everyone is having a safe and happy Independence Day! It is not a good day here, my husband dealt with nightmares from Iraq most of the night so needless to say that meant very little sleep for either of us. But we are struggling through it and will make it :explode:
Love to all ~~ tami 0 -
A www sorry it's a bad time for you Tami but I hope you enjoyed some time off anyway.
So down with a who can burn the most challenge! I will actually remember to do a running total this time!
Today's burn: 750 cals (swimming and walking)0 -
Oh and love the hair Hanna! Going lighter myself, my sister is going to do it for me this weekend (she used to be a hairdresser, she works in a kids care home now)0
-
Oh darlings! Thanks!!!
I totally love it. And Claire, is it possible to be too foxy haha 
Todays burn I have no clue of, but I hope I can get some serious workout in soon enough. Is Taking a long walk tomorrow at least. Might try some running, but don't know how that'll turn out. Somehow a pack of smokes is in my pocket as I write... I have certainly not been an angel. Now I'm off to bed.
Ta ta0 -
Forgot to weigh before breakfast.... In fact I'm not going to weigh until the next weigh in... I can't do it! I know it'll be bad and I don't want to knock myself before I get back into the swing of things!! Hope you ladies don't mind!
Thanks for the welcome back Tami - so sorry to hear you're having a rough time... TOM doesn't help at all.... Is your husband getting some kind of help for his nightmares?
TOM will be calling on me shortly too... I can already feel myself getting a but PMS-y!
I know it's a but naughty but I'm going to go on some meal replacement shakes for a week or two from tomorrow.... Just got to get back into the habit of having less calories and shakes should do that... I'm just going to replace my lunch with the shake as I'm pretty good with my breakfast... I just need to not have to think about it and try and get the weight shifting again. I know I've put on after my holiday but even before then I was just hovering around the same 4-5lbs and it was getting on my nerves! Anyway - maybe this will kick it into touch...0 -
Hey ladies
Sorry I've been MIA the last few days. Been all over the show for some reason. I'm totally up for the new challenge. I shall start keeping a running total.
Hope you're all well. Well done to those of you who have lost weight
and for those that haven't (myself included this week), let's make this week a better one.
Big love and hugs to you all.

Claire I feel your pain, I've hit the same plateu and was thinking of doing the Sacred Heart diet (soup diet) for a week to give me a kick start again.
Noo remember muscle is denser than fat and if you have upped your exercise then maybe you still have lost inches!0 -

Is that the cabbage soup diet? sounds ummmm windy to me!! but let me know how it goes if you do do it! I was going to do the biggest loser replacement shakes and soups but since reading that the soups are like emulsion I've opted for the much cheaper asda version... Get my delivery tomorrow so will see how that goes... Ordered enough for a couple of weeks...
I'm fancying making some soup soon - the weather has turned a little chilly (just AFTER our hols thank god!) I do a yummy carrot and butterbean... Just got to hold off on the garlic cream!!!!0 -
Hello All! I missed you tons!
It looks like I wasn't the only one MIA last week. I had a wonderful vacation. i ate too much but wasn't horrible. I expect the couple of extra pounds to fall back off when I get back to drinking water and not soda and eating regularly. I did fit in some exercie over vacation climbing Stone Mountain in Georgia! It's only a 1.3 mile hike but it's tough. We had a blast doing it.
I did not complete my 10X10 last week so I plan to do it this week. I'm not sure i will be a contender in the the most calories burned challenge. I find moderate burns and good eating works best for me. But I am thrilled to be getting back to the gym this week and Iwill keep a running total with the rest of you. Swimming planned ofr tonight
Hanna - I like your new hair cut0 -
I very much doubt I'll be a big contender for the most cals burnt this week wither Courtney! Though today I've done 894 as I did the gym and then did an evening kettlehell class as I have to miss it tomorrow morning for a dentist appointment... ick...
So tomorrow is a bit of walking to and from the dentist (down a hill there and up a hill back - bloody Wales!) and I'll also try and get some dvd or wii sesh in I think....
Got over 1000 calories to eat now before bed - Think I'll have a steak!0 -
Not sure I'll be a great contender for the biggest burn either ... I'm doing the same exercise, but not burning nearly as much ... I suppose I need to up my game ...
Yesterday: 294 (honestly, I worked so hard for those calories, doing hill sprints at Bootcamp, I was so disappointed when I looked at my HRM and saw that number!!!)
Today (Wed): 431 (that's estimated from swimming, but is probably less ...!)0 -
What has happened to this little group of ours? I don't feel like a 100% either.... Think I might have the flue knocking on the door. Which is not welcome at all since I just recently got my normal social life back. I won't push my exercise this week, but I will try my best to stay under... Not going to be too hard since I feel constant nausea. Eating just ain't my thing any more.
Love!0 -
We are in a rut aren't we!
I weighed this morning and the result was..... 265.4lbs.... Not as bad as I thought it would be tbh...
My asda delivery came this morning with my meal replacement shakes... Will just be replacing my lunch with a shake for the time being... Also bought something called "now slim hunger strips"... Little strips that you dissolve on your tongue which are meant to curb hunger pangs... Will see if they work!
So... I'm now 1.4lbs heavier than when we started the challenge - hopefully TOM has something to do with that as well as overeating last week so hopefully can get back on track asap and on target for the rest of the challenge....
We all need a proverbial kick I think!0 -
Hanna sorry you don't feel well. I feel very the same way. I have a headache and stomach ache all I want is a coke or sprite.
My first day back a the gym went well yesterday. 485 cals burned swimming. I was also under my cals.
Have a wondeful day ladies and feel better. I'm goign to break down and get teh soda and hope it settles my stomach a little.0 -
Well I have been out and about and to make a long story short I am happy TOM visited today. That might be just a little bit too much info, but that's my NSV for the week LOL Still have to deal with the nausea for no reason what so ever. Probably some higher power thinks I deserve it.
Been a good girl food wise today. not happy I'm back on the cigarette train, and I so need to quit again. Need to get some real exercise in as well, but with a free two-day festival and a birthday party to attend this weekend I'm gonna be happy to stay under my cals.
have a nice day/night ladies...0 -
My calorie burn so far this week:
Mon 0
Tue 2,349
Wed 1,429 - not done burning calories yet today....hubby and I are either going to shoot some pool or go bowling...will update when done. 0 -
A quick check in. Am at work still between sessions just finished looking after 50 little darlings and have 45mins before I start my shift as monitor on the adult dance classes. Noticed we are doing a most calore burn challenge this week, damm if only I had had the energy to stick with my original plan. Because I am in here all week, was going to attend class each night, but boy looking after kids is exhausting, have gone home early each day at least I walked home, and I have walked heaps around the studio. Started the week well with food, filled the fridge here with healthy choices but now I am hitting the bad stuff its that or alcohol. Kids do send you to drink especially when they are not yours. I don't know how teachers do it. I have only had my ipod to log in with, but am now on a work computer. Hope to be home Saturday for at least a few days. Have missed living in Loserville.0

Well TOM turned up early! Took me a little by surprise but hey ho!
Hayfever is playing merry hell with my asthma and I have a wonderful chesty cough and snotty nose to contend with....
Ah well! Gym later methinks...0 -
It appears we are all having a rough week.
Hanna - if your happy about TOM that's great. Sorry your having a rought tiem with cigiretts but we are all here to support you!
Tami - Awesome burn. It;s so awesome you and hubby are workign together.
Jenni - I use to work in a day care. The kids made me crazy. i perfered carrying for baby'cs crying was beter than an attitude I coudld do nothing about. I bet your burning tons of calories looking after them.
Clair - hope the hayfever gets better.
no exercise yesterday. I have my gym clothed in teh car for today will probably just do some treadmill intervals. Still tryign to get back into a routine.
have a lovely day ladies!0 -
Today did not go well...
My mum picked me up to go to the gym and on the way we stopped to puck up my AD prescription from the pharmacy. It was supposed to have been there on Tuesday but they'd had trouble getting them. And they still hadn't got them... I was cross and then had a bit of a panic attack as I'd run out of tablets on Tuesday! So I has to go to the doctors surgery to try and get another prescription but that wouldn't be ready until 5pm! I freaked Out majorly... Went and had a custard slice and a coffee to try and calm down and then did a really crap gym session...
Got home and had the shakes really bad so have been chillin in bed all afternoon watching ace of cakes and dc cupcakes... Still feel awful and dizzy... Probably like withdrawal symptoms from my ADs...
Agggghhhhhh!!!!0 -
Oh Claire I'm sorry to hear that! I bet you have the meds in no time and don't beat yourself up over the gym session. You are doing really good. One day is No day, darling!0
-
Thanks Hanna.... My mum dropped my meds off at about 5pm so I've taken them and starting to feel a little more "balanced"! Had some supper too so with any luck normal service will resume tomorrow!
Went over a little tonight but think I probably needed it... Wasn't vast so I'm quite happy really - could have been much much worse - well if this had happened last year I would have stuffed myself with food to try and dull the anxiety so being only 128 over is such an achievement....
Tomorrow is another day and it's boxercise day - hurray!0
