@szarrella - that is an average of 2.5lbs a week ... that is losing weight quickly not slowly

I did the first 6 week challenge and lost 15.5lbs. I am looking forward to this and will continue doing the same of eating 1,200 calories PLUS all my exercise calories. As I do a lot of exercise - 6 days a week including: PT sessions, Classes (HIIT, Body Pump, Spinning) plus lots of walking and Horse riding 4-5 times a…

Start weight: 218.5 6 week Goal weight: 208 Final goal weight: 150 So pleased with my week - exercised regularly and ate within my calories ... can't ask for more. Keep up the good work everyone - there are some fantastic results getting posted 6/12 - 218.5lbs 6/19 - 213lbs 6/26 - 211lbs 7/3 - 209lbs 7/10 - 207lbs 7/17 -…

Start weight: 218.5 6 week Goal weight: 208 Final goal weight: 150 A good week for me - stuck to exercise and eating plan and have met my original 6 week goal - so, I will continue and see where I can get in the next 2 weeks 6/12 - 218.5lbs 6/19 - 213lbs 6/26 - 211lbs 7/3 - 209lbs 7/10 - 207lb

OP - your post omits a very vital point on this matter and that is ... behaviour. The dogs in your example may well vary in what their kennel behaviour is - for example, a skittish or more playful dog ... will burn more calories than a sedate dog. An older dog may use less energy than a young dog tearing round or…

Start weight: 218.5 6 week Goal weight: 208 Final goal weight: 150 Great week on the exercise side of things but very challenging on the food. However, because of significant classes (spin, body pump, HIIT & circuit training), my over indulgent eating has not created too much of a catastrophe and I am well on target to hit…

Start weight: 218.5lbs Challenge Goal weight: 199lbs (would love to get to one-derland ☺️) Actual Goal weight: 154lbs I have been good and continued with workouts/classes 6 days a week and eating between 1200 and 1800 calories a day Some fabulous results getting posted here - keep it up everyone! 6/12 218.5 6/19 213 6/26…

I am just about to start week 3 on here - very active - open diary - and have a fitbit. Happy to hear from anyone and be added as a friend

Thank you for the update. It's reassuring that they are not too far off totals. Personally, I have found my HR 2 to be really accurate when I have taken heart rate readings before, during and after exercise - so, I am really pleased with it. Your results also show that riding can give you a decent work out. I can burn…

Can I be added to the group please? I am in my second week of using this app (after losing 30lb with WW), exercising 6 days a week, currently 213lb and would love a challenge like this to keep me focused.

I horse ride and work out (HIIT/spinning/circuit training & personal trainer sessions) - I can assure you that the horse riding (schooling/dressage etc) Can be the hardest and most vigorous workout I get out of all the things I do. OP - I have an HR 2 and keep it on all the time and manually enter the options for riding…

Start weight 218.5 First week down and I have thrown myself into this - more of the same this week. Good luck to all the other challengers ... some fabulous results are being logged 6/12 218.5 6/19 213 6/26 7/3 7/10 7/17 7/24

Firstly - whatever happens you can not stop doing what you are doing. This is your life, health and future at stake here and you can't drop this just to appease her. It is difficult to offer a view without really understanding your relationship with her and/or her own weight position. If for instance the dynamic with her…

Ooops - not sure what happened there but half my message didn't post. Anyway - i just went on to say that I asked my PT to concentrate on my overall fitness but with a bias to core strength in preparation for my return to the saddle. So he has had me doing curls, planks, burpees , kettle bells and using machines in the gym…

After an accident (not horse related) and surgery for another issue I am finally close to being at a weight where I can ride my own horse again. He is a talented boy and I have had to watch the last 3 years as someone else competed and rode him

@fiqahana Hana - it sounds like you have had to endure some difficult times recently but you appear to be very determined. I have total sympathy for you suffering with GERD, a work colleague suffered with and it is a nasty disease to live with ... so I hope you get to the bottom of it and your weight loss has a positive…

@chezmoss - you are added - looking forward to connecting with you and seeing how you get on

@shrinkingshona - you are doing the European tour! Delighted to connect with you and look forward to a great deal of success and laughs between us

Add me - I am active and my diary is open

@heartnp2014 - it just means that in your settings you have taken your diary out of private mode and allowed others to view it.

I have an open diary to friends on here so Happy to be added by anyone as I can offer support and your connection will…

Hi All - very happy to be added as a friend. I am female, 5ft 6.5, 218.5lbs looking to lose at least 60lbs. I have made my diary open for any friend to view and to keep me accountable. Happy to have anyone add me as a friend so I can offer support and it will also keep me focused.

I would be very happy to have the extra motivation of communicating with others and also providing support

Hi - I have around 60lb to lose and would benefit from having pals here on the site. I will add you.

Up until last month I was a WW (United Kingdom) member and lost 30lb this year on their plan. However, I found the pointing system didn't work for me in terms of an increase in exercise and the fact that I ate masses of zero point foods (which I have since found out, by keeping a food diary here, added up to a considerable…

Hi, I am a female living in London, UK - I am new to this site. I have around 60lb to lose - but will keep reviewing this target because I have been overweight for a while so unsure what a 60lb loss will look like. Anyway - feel free to add me as I would very much like to hear from people on a similar journey.

My understanding on this matter is that, as others have mentioned, it is down to age and genetics. If the skin has been damaged through stretching - then, there is nothing (other than the surgical route) to tighten it. Ensuring you have a good amount of muscle under the skin will help with appearance. However, I have read…
