Apologies, I worked a few long shifts then went away for a long weekend so I've not checked in from start October. I had my wedding dress fitting two weeks ago so for now to need to maintain rather than continue losing. I also saw my surgeon two weeks ago and he was really pleased with my progess to date (30Ibs to date).…

Last week 147.8ibs This week 147.2ibs Loss 0.6 Ib

Sorry for delay in posting. I worked weekend nights so have been catching up on sleep (and eating 🙈) Previous weight: 149 Ibs This week: 147.8 Ibs Loss: 1.2 Ibs

@swauters that's a really impressive volume of water. I only take mine with a heaped spoonful of coffee! Do you feel the benefit???

After a week out I'm determined to participate in the mini challenge this week. Monday mini challenge Tracking: yes Under: yes Exercise: 8km run

Monday weigh-in Last week: 150.8 This week:149 Loss: 1.8lbs Very unclear how this has happened! I had an exam last Tuesday and as I had leave immediately before, I owed my hospital several shifts so I've been long days or night shifts since, without a break. This is my first evening home in 7 days. So no tracking, no…

Hello there! Weight last week: 151.2 Weight this week: 150.8 Small loss but right direction. Im back on night shifts this week so no accountability challenge for me. Have a good, focused week all! Carrie xx

Where does the time go, I've not updated for days. Mini challenge Thurs: yes/yes/yes Fri: yes/yes/yes Sat: yes/yes/no - way over calories and I don't regret it! Sun: yes/yes/yes Lots of running, long walks in the evening (it's perfect weather this time of year with long sunny evenings) and a few resistance classes thrown…

Busy week so not updated Sat: Yes/yes/yes Sun: yes/yes/yes *had to run for 70 mins to undo damage of Sunday lunch! Mon: yes/yes/yes Tues: yes/yes/rest day (under calories but BAD choices) Wed yes/yes/kind of - worked 13 hour shift so on feet all day but no time to exercise. Also made terrible choices, choosing chocolate…

Thurs mini challenge Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes - 8.5km run

Monday weigh in Previous: 156ibs New: 154ibs Loss: 2ibs Daily challenge Mon: yes/yes/yes Tues: yes/yes/officially “no” as I was on a long on-call day at work so no time to exercise but my Fitbit clocked 16,000 steps, 25 staircases and returned me several hundred calories so I think my striding around the hospital…

Sat mini challenge Yes/yes/yes 7km run, my longest yet Sun mini challenge Yes/Yes/Yes 7km walk / arms resistance class / legs resistance class Had a lovely Sunday lunch out to celebrate my OH's birthday so lots of calories (although I resisted my favourite dessert of trifle). It should have been a rest day but I did a…

[/quote]@Caronell, well that's inspiring....to have your dress almost fit!! The drop on the scales will slow down this second month for you, so it is good to have some non scale goals, like your running and your resistance workouts, to keep the focus on positives!! You are doing so well, Carrie!![/quote] @HASWLRS Thank…

Can’t remember where I’m up to with my daily challenge but basically it is all yes’ for the last three days (logging / calorie goal / exercise). I’ve managed a run each day, except today which is a rest day but I went out for a 7k stroll this evening. I plan to get some more miles under my belt over the next three days and…

3 yes' for today. Tracked, came in under and managed another 5k run followed by a 5k walk. Feeling pleased as have my head back in the game after a day of poor choices yesterday cxx

As predicted, the saturday wedding meant I went way over on calories and no exercise but I did track as best I could. Sunday I managed to track, exercise and remain under, despite going to a family celebration. Now is a new week with no oncalls and no parties so I hope to be good. With that said, I made poor choices with…

As predicted, busy week at work with no opportunity to exercise. Managed to stay within my calories though and tracked daily which was an achievement. Today was my first day off and I managed a 5k run. It felt good to get some exercise in. I have the wedding of a friend tomorrow and then a christening to attend on Sunday.…

@HASWLRS, thank you! It's a shame you didn't get to tell me the great news, a couple of the other groups tagged me into their results posts so I found out in a roundabout way. Quite unexpected and I'm really delighted cxx

Monday weigh-in Previous: 158Ibs This week: 157 Ibs Loss: 1Ib

Sun challenge Tracking: yes Calories: yes Exercise: yes 30 mins treadmill/4.5kms then 30 mins kettlebells - getting it in whilst I can I'm oncall for emergencies (I'm an anaesthesiology resident) for the next four days which basically means I get up, drive to work, put in a 13 hour shift then drive home and go to bed, by…

Hi newbies. I'm Carrie, 44 years, living in the UK. It's my second month in the group. It's great here, better than I anticipated. Everyone so supportive, not least of all our fabulous leader Lisa who is inspiring in her ability to engage members. I just found out that I was the biggest loser in July (yay!) and I…

@HASWLRS does that mean I post my weight on Monday in the new group as my starting weight for the month or in here as my closing weight for July. Or both! Sorry for the dumb question Btw mini challenge 3 yes' for Fri and Sat Cxx

Are you exercising lots and doing weights, in addition to calorie control? I have weeks where my weight doesn't budge (or I gain, despite IF/logging/calorie and carb restricting with daily interval training and some light weight training). Its depressing but then I put on a dress and realise it no longer fits, looking like…

Tues / Wed / Thurs mini challenge Same for all 3 days: Yes to tracking Yes to sticking to calorie plan Yes to exercise 😁

It's my birthday today and I'm celebrating with a loss, which partially makes up for the lack of chocolate cake and fizz this year. Last weight : 161 Ibs Today's weight: 158 Ibs Loss this week: 3 Ibs The accoutability to this group is really keeping me on track. Moments when I'm weak, I remember that I will have to state…

sat and sun mini challenge Yes to tracking Yes to calories No to exercise - just not a spare minute in the day between busy nightshifts and getting home to sleep for a few hours. I've certainly manged to get lots of steps in though and my heart rate up, literally running around the hospital from one emergancy to another!

thurs mini challenge Yes/ yes / yes fri mini challenge Yes / yes / yes Back on nights for the long weekend - the rota gods have been particularly cruel to me this month. Sticking within my calories for the first night is hard - I've already been awake 18 hours and I'll be up for another 8-10. Im never sure where one…

mon mini challenge Pretty poor......a very long nightshift got the better of me. I got home, ate breakfast followed by ice cream and chocolate buttons. By lunch time I had consumed my daily allowance of calories! So I lay on the sofa, snoozed and had a very early night. No steps in, let alone exercise! Tracking: yes (even…
