Have requested to join :)

Yay! Gives us another shot at it - thank you :smiley:

Just weighed following some back problems over last couple of weeks. Disappointingly - but not surprisingly - have put on a couple of pounds. Unfortunately no exercise combined with the start of the Christmas build up has taken its toll. Overall have lost a little - but nowhere near the 20 pound target. Not too…

I am doing OK - this thread prompted me to look at the spreadsheet to see how my progress compared to the group and it made for some interesting reading! Of those who are still in the game (I reckon 33 of us!) most are doing really well (admittedly I am one of the less successful when I look at how brilliant most are) -…

Wow well done! sw 163 cw 158 Sadly only 1/4 way there - but still hopeful that can make the 20 (although not necessarily by Christmas) :wink:

Thanks for encouragement. Unfortunately a very difficult week at work, prevented me sticking with it. Think I will start again on Monday as challenge 6 :smiley:

Getting difficult to progress but managed wall squat 1min5sec and Plank 1min10sec. Daily recording is helping me try to improve - thanks @kayjosh2422 :smile:

Tried harder this morning - wall squat 59 secs Plank 1min5sec - :smile:

Right - trying both 'cos it sounds fun! Wall squat 28 secs Plan 49 secs

sw 163 cw 158 Target was 143 - not so sure I can make it, but hoping to continue heading in right direction :smile:

Just devised a new exercise plan - 2 x step classes per week, 2 x 30 minute (new) exercise DVD, 1 x 45 minute (older) exercise DVD and 1 x 1 hour dancing. If I can keep this up I should mitigate the occasional over-runs on calories.

SW 163 Wk 1: 161 Wk 2: 158 Wk 3: 161 Annoyed with myself for enjoying too much food when at a conference Thursday and Friday - but realistically the over indulgence of red wine on Thursday night was the real clincher. Unfortunately being at conference also meant I missed my regular Friday morning step class. Plan to get…

Couldn't find my dvd remote this morning so instead of my regular exercise dvd I did a 15 minute freebie Insanity workout from Youtube! Not for me every day - but I did it!

Just noticed the auto correct changed my creme fraiche (in carrot & coriander soup above) to creme fruit! No need for fruit in the soup lol

Yesterday did an extra evening step class (promo freebie!). Tonight husband made Carrot & Coriander soup - yummy! 200g carrots 40ml very low fat creme freche 1/4 onion 1/2 garlic clove 1/2 tspn chopped coriander (frozen) 200ml of vegetable stock 5ml olive oil Dash Lemon Juice Dash Worcester Sauce carrots, onion and garlic…

Doing the Beachbody Slim in Six dvd Monday to Thursday morning before work, Friday morning step class - and relaxation at the weekend (although dancing sometimes features!).

walked to and from church today - 20 mins :)

OK - I'm in. Sticking with the extra 10 mins today but will think about food for rest of week x

sw 163 cw 161 nothing lost this week :( but hope this week will be better :smile:

Missed doing anything extra Monday and Tuesday - so did an extra 45 mins dvd workout this evening :)

missed this challenge yesterday - usually do no exercise at weekend - so started today with extra 30 minutes exercise dvd

Starting weight - Sept 12th - 163 Challenge Goal Weight - 143 This week Weight - September 20th - 161 -2lbs Really pleased as this is despite a couple of far too calorie heavy treats, but it looks like the extra exercise this week balanced it.

Today I managed to do my workout plan and ate within plan - but realise the rest of this week is going to be tough to remain within planned net calories- Wednesday special lunch arranged in London, Thursday daughter's birthday and she has suggested she wants to go out for a meal and Saturday off for another meal with her…

Today I am watching my calories - not easy, but will be avoiding the red wine tonight which should help a bit

Post deleted as I my input to the spreadsheet actually worked :smile:

Hi, I am Sue currently weighing 157 lbs, looking to lose another 12lb - but most importantly for me to maintain that until at least June next year when my son gets married! I am hoping to get to my target by Christmas so that I can buy my "mother of the groom" outfit at the January sales. Definitely want to then still fit…

Hi - I am far from an expert but use the "Slim in Six" home dvd which is fairly light aerobic and strength training 30 minute daily exercise - which combined with sensible eating this week has helped me lose 3 lbs (I am 5'6" and now weight 162 lbs - target 145 lbs) - (I have also cut out all accompaniments to meals except…

Wow!
