&-Week Challenge Team Europe / UK

I'll do it.... just be prepared to be nagged ladies! X x

Thanks Nikki And never fear; I always find nagging really helpful

I'm having a tough time with this challenge; I always find that what MFP calculates my calorie burn to be is massively different from what it says on the machines I use at the gym. I've been going by the amount on the gym machines, which is the lower number, but looking at everyone else's calorie burning, I'm now seriously behind. I don't want to drag our team down but similarly I don't want to put in the higher number of calories in case they aren't accurate.

I know what you mean about the amount of calories it says we burn on here but nothing is certain anyway.

For me personally, nothing on here states how many calories i would burn pushing a pram with 2 children in it; I sometimes push it up a really steep hill too visiting my mother and i really go for it too. So on the whole for me i accept what it says.

I suppose for people who eat back their calories then i would say be wary but i hardly ever do that.

I would've thought each individual would burn calories at different rates so i would say on here its averaged up.

Well, it's Thursday again; the day I spend entirely in a tizzy because I have to weigh tomorrow :S Unsure of how I've done this week as I've had a few "treats" that I probably shouldn't have, and had an epic fail on the food front over last weekend. Still, I've done a bit of exercise and plan to hit the gym again tonight, so here's hoping I can lose something!

Speaking of losing; I went for my wedding dress fitting last Saturday and was pleased as punch by the fact that the dress needs taking in around 2 inches or so (though not so pleased as punch by the fact that the biggest alteration will be my bust. Boo, hiss!) The wedding's inching ever closer now, I'm starting to get really panicky!

Has anyone seen whether the group standings for the challenge have been posted yet? Also, Nikki, is it easier for you if we post our results on here, or send them to you in a private message?

I think I've shifted arounf 1 and a half stone since getting my dress (had a blip over Christmas and had to re-lose some!) and I've told them that I plan to be losing another 10 or so pounds by the end of April, and the seamstress seemed fine with it I'd love to be in a position where I had to eat cake to fit in it though! I'm avaoiding cake like the plague right now :P

Splendido I'll probably just post in here then, so y'all can see how I'm getting on. I'm in one of the clinics I do admin for today and the temptation to get on the spare scales to see how I'm doing is overwhelming! Trying to stay strong though, because I don't want to no see results, get all sad and disappointed, and go home and faceplant a cake or something...

Hia

I've lost 2.2lb this week so hit target and burnt 1074 cals so far. I'm doing a run this morning which should add another 200-300 calories.

I'm 137.8lb now and my goal for this week is 2lb (or 135 something).

Good luck everyone - hope everyone else has had a good week.

Hi Week 3 challenge is run/walk 2 miles.

It doesn't have to be done all at once either.

I was a bad girl yesterday lol think i done about 2000 calories opps back on it today and repolishing the halo. No exercise today been busy running kids to dentists drs etc. Gym in the morning tho and try do that 2 miles usually i only get to spend 45 mins at the gym as i rely on a lift to go there so will come home and do some zumba in the afternoon and another session in the evening to try make up for sundays naughties. Have a good week everyone

I feel pretty heavy this week after just feeling plain hungry since eating too much at the weekend! I usually sneak a weigh-in in on Wednesdays to check I on track but can't face it this morning incase I have gained and it triggers a big craving for junk!

Despite most of us having some slip ups this week, we are still here and still up for the challenge!

Be strong and step away from the donut! X x

Hi how do i become part of this group please?????

I did a pre-emptive weigh in today; lost 0.3lbs, which hardly seems worth it. Still, it's a loss, and I'm hoping a trip to the gym tonight can at least boost me to 0.5lbs loss.

Welcome Gracey feel free to add me as a friend xx
I have been good all week showed a lb gain couple of days ago when i looked hope i at least lose lb, worked out a fair bit to and just went for a walk and done some shopping then back and done Jillian Michaels boost metabolism dvd oooo it hurts lol... I think i need to try eating a few of the exercise calories next week trouble is ive got in the mind set that if i work out and dont eat them i might lose more but doesn't seem to work that way opps so will try switch it around a bit after the weekend and up my calories by a couple of hundred see if that helps me. Have a great day everyone
