Morning all! Challenge sounds fun, have no idea what to do though, any ideas?

Well done Katherine!! How long did it take you?

My goal weight for today was 143lbs and I weighed in at 142.8 lbs woop woop!! So glad, thought it wasn't going to happen. When I get under 140lbs I'm going to buy either of these dresses as a treat! I have a wedding to go to at the end of the month and my graduation ball so I thought those were good enough excuses! Which one should I buy?

Decisions Decisions!

Anyway, have to get on with revision. My first exam is tomorrow :sad:

curvykatie

oooo, i like the 1st dress, its a gorgeous colour, and looks really unique

wow! well done katherine

im completely failing at this weight loss atm, its really not going well :sad: :embarassed:

lorro

LOL. Is it week 2 already? I was still posting on week 1!!

Thanks for the re-direction Katherine

Vonzo - come and join us. How was the exam cinnamon?

I've had no time to exercise snce last Friday but am going to do get back on track come Hell or High water

Cinnamon_Kisses

Hey Lorro, hope you're getting back on track! Exam was OK, I could answer all 3 essay questions pretty well but you never know the standard they expect until you get it back...so we'll see! Revision screwed up my eating big time though, for dinner on Monday I had half a Macdonalds cheeseburger with a side dish of half a bag of haribo. Whoops. And then last night I went to the cinema and had popcorn. Definitely getting back on track today, I'm tempted to weigh in tomorrow to see the damage.

Have a good day everyone :drinker:

lorro

Hi Cinnamon Sounds like the exam went well - fingers crossed! Love the side order of Haribos :laugh: I'm back on track - hope you managed it too. If not - there's always tomorrow :drinker:

Cinnamon_Kisses

Where is everyone?! Am I the sole survivor of the UK team!?

Congrats on getting back on track Lorro, well done! I'm behaving myself aswell. I went swimming for an hour today (I'm fast enough to go in the medium lane woop!) and challenged myself to not let my feet touch the ground for the last 15 minutes...I felt the burn! I also walked into work so I've got lots of calories to eat up :happy: I had a sneaky weigh in this morning to see what damage I'd done and I'm 142.2lbs so I'm still on track! Phew!

Hope everyone else is doing well :drinker:

lorro

Only Me! :happy:

Glad you are still on track cinnamon. I was forced to eat a buffet at a conference today :grumble:
Re: your dresses - both gorgeous but the 2nd gets my vote.

As for the challenge, I've tried one new thing so far - like you, a change to my exercise routine. Helen gave me a recipe I will try this weekend. I'm not sure what the third new thing will be yet

Keep at it, everyone :drinker:

Cinnamon_Kisses

Just us then Lorro!! How did the new recipe work out?

Weigh in day on Monday for me, hope to be 141lbs but we'll see! I can't wait to be under 10 stone again! And once I get under 141lbs I'll have a normal BMI!!


Hope everyone is having a good weekend :drinker:

lorro

Hi cinnamon :happy:

I've not been organised enough to get to the shop yet and buy the ingredients. In fact my meal planning in general has gone out the window :grumble: I'm still losing though, slowly but surely.

Good luck for Monday! Let us know how you get on. 10 stone is my target too: 10 down, 102 to go :noway:

Have a lovely Sunday :flowerforyou:

Toddy67

Hi,
Is this where I join the team?

curvykatie

hi Toddy, heres the place, i'll be posting week 3's challenge tomorrow :drinker:

Cinnamon_Kisses

Oh and I meant to say before, did anyone watch the things on TV about Claire Richards who used to be in Steps? She put on loads of weight and it's about her losing it for her wedding. I think it's called "My Big Fat Wedding" or something, it's on the BBC iplayer website. It's really good!! So inspirational, she looks amazing at the end. To be honest, she looked good all the way through!!
