    I burned 1094 Calories this afternoon, by ridding my bike, doing 10 minutes of 30 day shred, and jumping jacks. it feels good to be able to breath well enough to work out again.

    I've burned off 4,000 odd calories this week through exercise, but I doubt I'll be doing much more today and tomorrow though. Today I weigh 175 pounds so I am feeling nervous but kind of ok about the weigh in tomorrow morning. I am in the UK and I'm not sure where everyone else lives, so maybe there's different time zones or something, but I'll log on asap to record my weight tomorrow xx

    I will not be in town tomorrow until late so i weighed in this morning
    My starting weight was 248 (for this challenge)
    my current weight is 246
    i lost 2 pounds this week. for a total of 15 pounds lost.
    I burned 6553 calories since last Sunday.

    good luck to everyone tomorrow i hope this is enough to keep me in the game.

    Ilovedrinkingtea - hey lady dont stress about the weigh in stress will affect weight loss in a bad way. you are doing great. you have a good calorie burn just keep it up.

    BIG QUESTION ARE WE DOING THE PICTURES OR NOT? (can the leader of the group please answer this for me?) I really dont understand how to upload the pic's

    Yes, I think we should post pictures. If you don't understand how to post it into the thread you can just add it to your photos on your profile (just like you did your original thumbnail picture of yourself) and let me know to find it there. In fact, that's what I have done in the past. I change my profile picture for the day.

    Also, ilovedrinkingtea, don't worry about the time difference. It's okay, sister! Those of us in the States are all over the place too. Just weigh in tomorrow morning and post it before the end of the day. No big deal.

    On Monday I was 174 pounds - garr, if only I was still that!!!

    The last few days, from Wednesday onwards it's been 175.4 pounds - I didn't re-read the thread before getting on the scales, so I've not taken a picture and now I've had a pint of water and two slices of toast. Will I do another weigh in tomorrow morning, weigh in again and upload a picture then? Massive sorries!!!

    Actually uploading the photo like the thumbnail is a great idea, and I love the idea of having it as a profile picture so I think I'll ditch my profile photo and have a picture of the weighing scales instead!!!

    Next weekend I am away at a hen party all weekend so I'll have to do my weigh in before I go on friday morning.

    This week's weigh in for me is 273.4. See profile picture. I think it's easier than photobucket. But either way is fine.

    MightyMae, are you using the photos as the first week weigh-in - or - the posted ones from last week?

    Ok, a really silly question but is there a way to take the photo without having to have the camera on the scales at the same time as you?! I'll need to try and think of something or I might just use my mobile to take the photo!!!- my camera is heavy!!!

    The contest started on Sunday, June 26. Today is the first week weigh-in; thus, today is also the first elimination.

    So let's get some pictures of scales on here!! Good luck everyone :)

    I just sit the camera on the counter. Once the scale locks in a weight, I grab the camera and take a pic.

    Place the camera on a table...set the scale and then pick it up...but, really, how much can a camera weigh???

    Sorry for being silly, I thought there may have been a knack to it. In the finish I plonked the camera on the wee bin in the loo, jumped on the scales, jumped off once the numbers came up and took the picture as fas as I could and as close to the numbers as I could!!!xx

    Yesterday there were 10 people who didn't weigh in at all and so they are eliminated. So as long as you posted a 1st week weigh-in, you are safe from elimination this week.

    We have 9 players left:

    MightyMae1
    Throtttlboy
    Meggie_Pooh
    nisijam5
    teanabean
    christieherron
    mzmags
    ilovedrinkingtea
    jayme34

    At this point we have to vote:

    Option 1 is that we can still eliminate 2 players per week and this challenge will just be over in 4 weeks.
    Option 2 is to eliminate one player per week and keep playing for originally planned amount of time. (9 more weeks).

    Please vote.

    I vote one per week so we can keep the duration. Five weeks isn't long enough to really make a lasting change.
