    Today's weight is 228 lbs, so no loss this week (but no gain from my over-indulged holiday either!).

    Here are my goals for May:

    Friday 13th May: 225.5 lbs

    Friday 20th May: 223 lbs

    Friday 27th May: 220 lbs

    I REALLY WANNA HIT 210 BY JULY !!!!! :happy:

    ************ WEEK 5 RESULTS ***********

    Some GREAT Losses this week Guys.

    Its not only showing on the scales, but your motivation over the last week (in spite of the leftover Easter eggs) has been incredible, you all inspire me daily, I hope you inspire each other, and its great to see people adding realistic goals for themselves (if you haven't and want to add month end goals, let me know!)

    This week our winner has lost …...dum dum de dum dum dum.... (needed a drum-roll for this incredible loss!)

    6.4lbs!!!!!!! So a BIG well done to Ladychi306!!!

    Exact losses are on the webpage: https://sites.google.com/site/myfitnesspalchallenge
    as well as the hall of fame (complete with trophies!!!!!) so do check it out!

    The challenge this week will be chosen by the lovely, inspiring Andrea, and we will keep you updated on this!

    Have a fabulous week guys, I may not be around as much as I start my gruelling 3 sessions a week at the gym this week, lets see how I go with it.. (wish me luck LOL)

    weigh ins need to be given between Friday morning, and Sunday evening UK time, (unless you've agreed otherwise with me) I’m sorry but if you miss 2 weigh ins in a row, I will remove you, if we drop below 10 members, I’ll advertise out to the boards again for more members at the beginning of the month.

    Incredibly, my weight is still the same as last week (228 lbs). I am beginning to question the accuracy of my scales as I have been exercising like a madman and have been under my net calories every day. I have ordered a new set of digital scales which, according to the reviews, offer extreme precision and measure in increments of 50 grams. These new scales should allow me to monitor my weight loss more closely and as a result I think I will get weighed more frequently.

    Keep up the good work everyone – hopefully you have had more success than I have this week!

    ************ WEEK 6 RESULTS ***********

    So I have to be honest and say i'm lagging a little this week, I know a lot of us are struggling of late, so please everyone, take a moment, remember your goal, and remember why you want to reach this goal! I've gotten to know most of you at least a little through this challenge, and if there is one thing i'm sure of its that we can all reach our goals!!


    This week technically there is a draw, both myself and herb lost 2lb! Because I have won before, and haven't really been giving it my full this week, i'm passing this incredible victory over to herb1968

    so if herb could let us know what the challenge should be for next week.... i'm sure we'll all get on it!

    Exact losses are on the webpage: https://sites.google.com/site/myfitnesspalchallenge
    as well as the hall of fame (complete with trophies!!!!!) so do check it out!

    Good luck this week guys!

    I got really despondent last week. I did a ton of cardio/weights, ate a balanced diet and was under my net cals every day, yet I didn’t lose any weight. I have decided to adjust my approach this week in an effort to get things back on track. I am attempting a little experiment...

    I have manually adjusted my daily net intake to 1500 cals per day. My main reason for doing this is to use 1500 as a measure; if I lose weight to quickly then I know I should be eating more. I will then increase my cals by 100 per day (each week) to see what difference it makes. I will also endeavour to eat the full 1500 calories each and every day or my experiment won’t work.

    I am also going to reduce my cardio. I can’t shake the feeling that maybe I have been doing too much and that it has somehow had a detrimental effect, although I am unaware of any conclusive scientific evidence to support this theory.

    Really hoping to see some weight loss this week...

    Today's weight: 222 lbs. That's a 6 lb loss this week.

    Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

    This is officially the lightest I have been in fourteen years and I am absolutely ecstatic about it! I am completely fired up now as I have just 12 lbs to go to reach my target weight. It has been one heck of a journey...

    As mentioned in my previous post, I will now manually raise my net cals by 100 to 1600 cals per day (and see how it goes from there).

    Well done everyone! :happy:
