Becci has a boyfriend.
Nice and if he doesnt treat you right, just tell him there is nowhere to hide in this world. You have friends all over the globe.
Yes indeed!0 -
Another Monday! And i am please to post a 1.4kg loss this week! YAY!! I now weigh 93.6kg and i am super happy
It is inspiring to read everyone's progress! I cannot believe how much exercise everyone is fitting in, makes me feel a little lazy! I did nothing over the weekend... but i did spontaneously drive home late on Friday night to visit friends and family. Although, this thread is perfect to read on a Monday morning, to get you back into the right frame of mind.
I really need to go and get some work done, so i best be off! Hope you all have a great Monday 0 -
lost 3 lbs this week! i am 291.4!
i also dropped a pants size! this weekend ROCKED! 0 -
This week I have GAINED 0.7 kg. That'll put me on 96.8 kgs or 213 lbs. Sucks and I haven't been that bad, have I? Anyone got any suggestions? And it isnt because of TOM, unreasonable amounts of salt, no exercise or going over calories every day... Any help what ever it is would be welcomed!
Congratulations on you losses girls! You are doing great as always
Now I'm off for an early walk. Talk to you later!0 -
Aww you guys! I'll be sure to tell him, haha!
Well done CM & OJB!
Hanna & Jen, think about how many calories you burnt this week, muscle is denser than fat, dont be disheartened on what the scales say, take into account how your clothes feel and have you measured your inches? You might see a loss there.
Everyone is doing wonderfully, think of the bigger picture!0 -
Well I wasn't expecting a loss this week... But I have! 1.6lbs lost so I'm now 266.6lbs! Really back on it today... Will do some Just dance 2 later and possibly some zumba or something...
Going to try and do 3500 cals burned this week...
Good luck to everyone with their WIs today and well done to the peeps who have already posted!
Hanna and Jen - could you be a bit constipated? Sorry if TMI but it's another reason you could have put on? Don't be disheartened x
Glad my head is back in the game this week... Was really thinking about swapping my WI to a Friday but I'm going to persevere and see how it takes me...0 -

No constipation as far as I am aware so it has to be something else... But good thing is I have weighed more during the week so I have gained and lost some of that as well... Hmm doesn't make much sense, but that's life...
Good news girls! I have a job interview this Friday. Would be so awesome to actually have a job to go to... Been home looking for one the last 4 months... So my happy-level will go through the roof if I get it. It is just a job during the summer but still. I need something to focus on....
Happy Monday and good job on the losses!0 -
Nope not constipated either. I went off the rails at lunch time today. Even though I was trying not to let the weight gain get to me. It did. Maybe Hanna, you and I are getting great muscles. I didn't think to measure myself, but I'm going to keep moving forward and hope for a better weigh in next week.
Congratulations to every ones weight loss and to the those of us who gained, congratulations for trying.0 -
1970 calories burned this week. :grumble: Oh well. I got to have my off days, and I hope they will be gone for the rest of April!
CW: 177! I was so happy to see it again the last few weeks of gaining!

Hanna, Jen, and anyone else looking for a new suggestion... Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating close to bedtime (if so, stop, and see if that helps). If you are eating REALLY low calorie, try bumping it up, just for one day. I used to do this once a week (weekends), and it helped me lose 55 lbs in the past. You all seem to be working out really well, so I don't think that's the issue. Avoid "diet" and "fat free" foods if you can too. I always try (this is a big TRY) to opt for real foods over anything else. Even protein bars or slim shakes.
Congrats! I'm trying so hard to get into 16's. Making it to a new pant size is a great success!lost 3 lbs this week! i am 291.4! i also dropped a pants size! this weekend ROCKED!
That's perfect! Apparently not the case, but that was me about a week ago, when I ate mostly fruits and veggies, and only had about 900 calories. :laugh: Drink your water, and get your fiber!Hanna and Jen - could you be a bit constipated? Sorry if TMI but it's another reason you could have put on? Don't be disheartened x
Hanna... Good luck at the interview! I got invited to one too, for a summer job. I'm excited and nervous! I don't go to many interviews. I have to apply for more jobs that start immediately...0 -

Sleep and fiber might just do the trick. I'll try that!! And congrats to the interview, it'll go just fine and both you and me will be busy during the summer. or me it would destroy my plans on visiting my sister who is working abroad - but I can do that after the summer. And on the sunny side - I will have lost even more when I see her. 0 -
Wow! I see so many great loss and many sucesses with teh 500cal burn and other goals. Great job ladies.
Personally I am very frusterated. Even though I did not burn 500 cals every day I burned more last week than in a long time about 2600 cals and i have been at a plateau for 3 weeks ahngign out between 218.4 nad 219.4. I haven't stayed teh same weight this long since I begain in December. I was under every day but yesterday last week, nettign about 1450 cals (my goal is 1670) I think I need more rest.
My goals this week are to be under my cals all 7days, to exercie at least 5 days and to be in bed by 11pm Monday -Thursday and Sunday nights. I love stayign up late on Friday and Saturday espically when hubby has the weekends off.
Good luck will your challenges this week ladies 0 -
Good Monday morning everyone!! Good job on all the losses and to those of you who are struggling remember that they say slow weight loss is the way to do it to make it a lasting change.
I only have a sec as I have a meeting I have to go to, but wanted to give my update before I go. I am at 331 this morning for a 5.2 pound loss this week. I am 2 pounds from being the lightest I have been in 8 years. I only have 1 friend who has ever seen me at the weight I am now. It feels great to be getting rid of this stuff.
Everyone keep up the good work. Remember hard work pays off in the end. And whatever you do, don't give up!

Weigh in this morning showed 154.6, that is down .6 from last week and with the way I ate this weekend, I will take that. Definitely figured there would be a gain.
Looks like you are all doing great. I am going to challenge myself to the 500 calorie a day burn....0 -
I'm going to join the early to bed eat more fibre brigade too. My aim is to be over on my fibre every day, from today, and to be in bed by 10.30pm. That will be a challenge, but I'm planning to do my exercise first thing in the morning, so that will surely help.0
-
My personal goals this week are to burn 3500 this week and to walk every other day. I got the walk in for today - 1.2 miles and next time will be increasing it to 1.5 miles. I am excited to add that even though it is only a small addition. My walking time should be about the same as when I started out since I have decreased the amount of time from 45 min to 30 min to walk the 1.2 miles.0
-
Day 1 of this weeks challenge done and I was successful at burning 500 calories, 554 to be specific. YAY!!!0
-
~Yesterday bummed with regard to exercise... Today I have to walk home from the local college which about half a mile and I've signed up to go to a kettleworks session this evening... Never been to kettleworks so don't know what to expect really!
Should def burn some cals though!0 -
They do free lunches when suppliers come in at work and I just had a panini, so I need to make sure I get my burn sorted later to get rid!
Its TOM for me though, I did a sneaky weigh this morning to see how much it affects me and I am up by about a 1 1/2 lbs. BOOO! Hopefully by Friday it will be gone!0 -
Hi - am I joining this challenge abit late? I may just challenge myself anyway :b
Height:5"8, dress size UK 12, was 168 at Xmas (and a UK 14-16) Goal dress size (UK10)
CW: 153
GW: 140
Not a lot to lose, but I am struggling A LOT. Barely making 1lb a week despite sticking to my calorie goals. I play sport and run regularly (3+ times a week) so I am thinking that I am toning and developing muscle as opposed to weight loss...so I have a dress size goal as well as a weight loss goal.
Anyway, It's Tuesday today, so by Sunday I would like to be 151 (and i'll accept 151.5 as being near enough!)
I am a little short on the friends and support side of things, so would appreciate the motivational comments Everyone on here seems to be doing so well!! 0 -

Welcome Becca! If you are looking for friends and support you have come to the right place. What is your personal challenge for this week? You wanna join in on the 3500 calories burnt?
Hanna0 -
Tami... amazing loss last week. Keep it up.
sjc... great job with the 500+ cls yesterday
poorcopies...that weight is all water it willbe gone in a few days watch teh sodium
Becca welcome we are so happy to have you.
Claire good luck with kettle works tonight.
I met 2 or my 3 goals for teh day yesterday. I exercised, not as long as I like but I went to get my haircut last night and hubby isn't feelign well. I also was under my calorie goal by about 300..netted around 1400cals. Didn't get to be by 11pm but I wasn't to late about 11:25. Feeling gloomy today. I've been super unhappy lately and I'm not sure why. Oh and I hate my haircut. Getting it cut again on friday or Saturday if i don't change my mind.
I am super proud of everyone keep up the good work.0 -
3500 calories burnt? In a week? -- sounds like a challenge!
Fuhrmeister - you may be 'super unhappy' because of a lack of hormones etc...try some more exercies it releases feel-good endorphines and should make you feel more positive!0 -
I am happy to say that I am no longer in the "need to lose 200+ category". I have only 195 pounds to go instead of the 240 pounds I started with. It is still a HUGE amount to lose, but I am ecstatic with the progress thus far.
This is brief as I need to get off here and go walk my mile and a half (increasing today from 1.2 miles to 1.6 miles). The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day so taking the dogs for a walk (first time walking the puppy on a leash so that should be fun). Gotta get going though as I work in an hr and half and want to get a good burn in first.
Have a good day all.
Calorie burn so far this week: Mon 6320 -
Well, my calorie burn today was rubbish! I just walked to / from work, which I think is barely 200 calories. Gym again tomorrow though, I was going to do some step when I got in, but I got waylaid trying to sell a load of stuff on Gumtree / Ebay.0
-
Feeling good ~~ burned 1194 calories so far so in 2 days I have burned 1826 calories -- way more than the number of calories I eat now!!0

Hello to Becca!
Never too late to join! I'll add you to the spreadsheet... Weigh in is a monday but if you want to weigh on a different day that's fine - i'll just use that weight on a monday for the ss.. I'm Claire and I'm kinda the unofficial secretary!
I've just got back from my first kettlebell workout... I was using a 4kg kettlebell - my god it hurt! next time I want a 2kg!!! Have already booked my place for the week after next as I'm away next week..
Wow it was tough - but i REALLY enjoyed it... Got that buzz after it - probably will be paying for it tomorrow though!0 -
Welcome Becca! I love this group, they are all so supportive.
My challenges are to eat more fibre and to be in bed by 10.30pm. I'm doing good on the fibre ...
I'm not doing so well on going to bed early, 11.30pm last night, which is earlier than usual, but then I also didn't get up for my run this morning ... just wanted to stay in bed! There's something very wrong with getting up before my kids get up!! It's all good as my inlaws are staying with us, so I can go for a run this afternoon, but soon they will be back in the UK and I'll have to fit in my exercise early in the morning. I think when I have to I'll do it ... hope so!0 -
Missed you guys. It was lovely to get the extra work but am I tired. I did 9am to 4.30pm then back on 5.30pm to 10pm then train home, an hours trip so got in at 11.30pm to a very hungry cat. Got to bed after midnight then was up again at 5.30am (as well as 4am stupid cat), worked 9am to 5pm. Home 7pm. I am so so tired. Steph, you are right a lot of my weight issues could very well be related to not being well rested. I am a poor sleeper at the best of times.
So no exercise, which is odd since I work at a dance studio, however sitting outside of the studio does not count as exercise, tried to walk up and down corridor as often as I could. Did however try to monitor my calories in, yesterday was good , today not so. Hope to sleep in tomorrow and then I work again tomorrow night.
Welcome Becca nice to have you on board.
Good luck to everyone doing the 500 calorie daily burn this week. You are all amazing.0 -

Good morning All!
Becca - Ithanks for teh sugestion but I have exerceise more in the last 3 weeks that I ever have. I think I might actually be over doing it a little I'm taking a lighter but often approach this week to see how it works.
poorcopies -any burn is a good burn. Don't get agnry with yourself. Just make today better.
Tami - great only 195 left to lose. Keep up the good work you are awesome!
Clair - I'm glad your work out was a sucess.
Jen - working extra can be tough. I have worked 6 6day weeks in teh last 2 months I'm exhausted. i bet you are too. Try to rest up and keep rocking the weight loss.
I met all 3 goals yesterday. Under my cals, exercised and was in bed way before 11pm...9:30 actually it felt so nice. Today I hope to hop on the treadmill reight after work. I have a drives ed meeting for my stepson though so we'll see.
Keep up the good work all!0
