Losers! (BBW/BHM thread..)

It did feel strange seeing new people, but then maybe its good and we will get some fresh ideas and motivation. When i saw all the new peeps I invited Steph-123. I got to know her on a Jillian Michaels 30 day challenge we were doing. Only 3 of us stuck to the challenge. And i also invited the other one cricketkate is her name. But haven't heard from her yet. Those who are meant to stay will, some may again drop by the wayside. Love secret club Losers.

I agree with Jenn, we'll lose some over the next few weeks and then it won't be so bad ... made me feel REALLY nervous at first, but I'm happy to see how it develops ... I'm so pleased it wasn't just me that was a bit freaked by so many newbies!

i don't think i'm goihng to get to do my shred today girls... Brac, my son, is ill and won't let me out of his sight... Thought I might be able to swap with my OH and get 30 mins exercise in but he won't have it... Will try and do it later... Will be very careful with what I eat and stay under the ol calories...

Dont you worry, focus on the calories and the most important thing - your son. And so what if it'll take 31 days instead of 30...

Well done Claire, it's so tough dealing with sick kids and can easily be a reason to give up, but you didn't let it be that way. So well done.

It's been a couple of days since I have been on here, but am doing okay. Yesterday I went out of town and looked at some houses. My husband and I are working on buying our first house and have narrowed it down from 28 to 3 choices. We will walk through them on Wednesday with the realtor and put in an offer on the one we decide on. I am excited but if we get it we will be moving 36 miles from where we currently live. Not bad except all our friends and family will be separated from us and will have a mountain pass between us. It is fine this time of year, but I am not going over the pass in the winter.

Food and exercise wise I am still doing okay. I am on day 21 of the hcg diet and today we added our first serving of grass-fed beef to the mix. We will see what that does to the scale. I went to one of our local health food stores today for the first time and love it!! It is the biggest health food store I have been into. And their prices are not bad for everything being organic and soy.

I am not losing as fast on this program as I thought I would. I really think my body wants more calories than it is getting. But we are at the half-way mark with it so I don't want to give up on it just yet. I want to see it through for the next 21 days and see what happens in the end.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Claire you could take up roller derby! My friend plays for a welsh team!

omg I have not been on roller skates since I was 12 (I was 160 pounds then). I would be afraid of killing myself. Or worse yet would be that I would fall and not be able to get back up...lol. Now wouldn't that be a site?!? Claire, you are NEVER too old to try new things, unless you are dead. My grandmother is 82 1/2 yrs old and can outdo me at any physical activity. Why? Because she lost weight several years ago and does not let her age slow her down. She walks 5 miles everyday and does not seem like she is 82. I believe from seeing her over the last 10 years that it is never to late to start, so long as you take that first step. So girl, get those skates and proudly give them a try!! You'll be amazed at how many calories you can burn using them. And how fun they can be.

OMG Claire! What a riot! I might have to get me some roller skates too, that would be so much fun ... mind you theres a place on waterfront that hires them, maybe I'll do that first!!! Never too old I reckon ... I used roller skate as a kid, loved it, but when I think of the mad things we did .... like going down very steep roads ... thank goodness none of us ever met a car coming the other way ....
