    Hello Everyone!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I'm happy to report that I reached my goal this week!! :smile: Although not as easy as I expected. :frown:
    I'm at 7.8 today!!
    So 1lb lost!! :happy:
    Next weeks goal is to maintain... This will be tricky as I'm on holiday as from Sunday and will have to eat out a lot and also I don't know if there will be a scale at the hotel? Maybe they'll have one in the gym? Might have trouble weighing in.
    Either way I'll do my best and stick to a pretty strict eating plan and keep within my calorie allowance.
    Chocolate... I managed to resist the diabetic chocolate completely. :bigsmile:
    I have not had a single piece. BUT I did have a home made chocolate flavoured protein shake and an Atkins day break bar with chocolate chips :grumble: Time was short and had to eat something :noway:
    I have been doing Atkins for a few weeks so I have been very limited in my treats :sad: - no biscuits, cakes, ice cream or sweets so the sugar free chocolate was a big one to stop!!
    But I managed it and only 2 little slips up, so I think I did OK-ish!! :huh:
    I'm going to carry on with the no chocolate rule until Sunday when were on holiday, minimum.
    I'm hoping to pretty much banish 'real' chocolate from my diet, Its been nearly a month as I've done a detox, then 2.5 weeks of Atkins and now I'm doing another detox, then none till Sunday minimum.
    To be honest I'm not missing real chocolate now, I've kind of got it out of my system but I do love chocolate flavoured things.
    I'll try to only eat diabetic chocolate from now on.
    I'm also giving up biscuits, except my oat ginger biscuits, which are super low cals and one with a cup of tea is a good tool for me to have (only 55cals) and can really hold me till the next meal.
    So this is my aim, not just this week but as part of my maintenance plan.
    This week I will do an extra 50 sit ups every night. I love sit ups and will enjoy this challenge.
    To make it harder for me I'll do 2 minutes non stop sit ups, I can do about 100 in a minute, this should make it tougher for me as 50 will be too easy. There is no point in me challenging myself to something that's too easy, no challenge at all!! But 2 minutes without stopping will get me burning!! So this will be my challenge this week.

    It's so cool to read everyone's progress and see SO many people focusing on their goals and trying their best, just think how many calories we have save collectively this week!! I also think it's great that we're planning this far ahead, normally people plan for Christmas parties only with a few weeks to go, but this way we can really get in shape. Thanks again to Bikini Mission and Mimi for setting this up xxx
    What a Fabulous idea xxxx :flowerforyou:

    Good luck to everyone xxx :wink:
    WE CAN DO THIS!!! :tongue:

    WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 201.5
    AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 200

    I am hoping what I gained is muscle since I have been working out more and walking over 4 miles a day.
    I haven't cheated so it must be that or not enough water, I do drink over 64 oz .:drinker:

    I can not do sit ups or crunches as I have neck issues BUT I will do extra leg lifts. I did not have any
    chocolate as I do not like it..that is right the only female on the planet that doesn't like chocolate!!! So I
    did a challange of NO CANDY instead.
    Good Luck everyone!!

    Hey all,

    Ok, so like I posted earlier, I did cheat with the chocolate, but I have been super good since the weekend. I am on day 3 of my detox so my numbers were pretty low this morning.

    Weight:: 143.2 ( down from 147)

    My Goal this week: is to lose 1lbs. ( 142.2) but I would even be happy just staying at this weight next week!

    Bring on the next challenge!!

    Good luck everyone!!

    Todays weight: 171.4 (darn those 4 ounces!)

    Next weeks goal: 170 and gosh darn it I will hit it!!!

    I knocked out my 50 sit ups today and let me tell you, that last set of 10 was HARD!

    WHETHER YOU MANAGED A FULL WEEK WITHOUT CHOCOLATE IN WEEK 1?! If you failed - how and why did you fail, come on it's confession time! I knew would fail before I even began. It was "that time" and I didn't deny myself the craving. But since I lost 3 pounds I don't feel bad. I will do the sit-ups, starting tonight, promise.

    Update from yesterday's post:

    WEIGHT THIS WEEK: 270 >:( stayed the same
    AIM FOR NEXT WEEK: 268

    Really getting on myself about my food. I need to clean it up and get it together. I honestly can't say I'm surprised I didn't lose. Next week is a different story.

    Did 40 crunches yesterday so I'm nice and warmed up for the challenge starting today!

    I made a promise to my husband to make sure I got out of bed in the morning even if I don't want to. Well he did just that this morning. At the time I was not happy at all, just wanted to sleep and justified doing it tonight like I always do. Well tonight would come and I wouldn't do it. So thanks hubby for being my motivation! I got up and did 50 min of cardio!
