Failed miserably as I haven't stuck to the right choices :sad: Ah well... Weighed in at 174lbs this morning, that's up 2.5lbs, I think. LouiseXXXXX

Well, I'm 5'5" and am aiming for 140lbs. I'd be happy to get to a UK size 12 and don't think I'd be 'too skinny'. Though I have encountered the similar reaction from a work colleague when I told her I still wanted to lose another 28lbs+. She said I'd look 'dreadful'!!!!!!!! I'm overweight at the moment but closer to being…

A gorgeous recipe from my Harcombe Diet Book: Butternut Squash Curry. Serves 4-6 (depending on how hungry you are!!) 2 tbsp olive oil 3 onions, chopped 4 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tsp each: cumin, paprika, coriander, chilli powder and curry powder 2 x 400ml tins chopped tomatoes 500ml veg stock 100g block creamed coconut (I…

Weigh in this morning = 171.5lbs I'm doing Phase one of the Harcombe Diet (not sure if it's just the UK you can get hold of the books). I've lost 8.5lbs since Monday AND YES I am eating well. Not sure I'll be quite as good over the weekend (it's Fat Friday at my parent's tonight!!!!!!) Good luck everyone!!!!!!!!…

I'll post my weight on Friday. Forgot how much I find these challenges motivating!!!!!! Louise XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ditto LouiseXXXX

I have a popcorn maker! It's great, takes less than 3 minutes and you have a huge bowl full of popcorn. And it has much less calories than a bag of crisps/chips. Louise xxxxxx

Down 5lbs altogether! Really pleased with that : ) LouiseXXXXX

Halfway there and I've lost 4lbs!!!!!! Am half-heartedly following the Harcombe Diet (think it's a British thing, I'm a Brit), similar to Atkins but not as strict and based a little bit on food intolerance/cravings. I'm only following the advice for my breakfast and lunch but when I get my head round it, I'm going to try…

Okay, I'm officially in this challenge. Weighed in this morning at 182.5lbs. I'd love to lose 7lbs, which would take me back to my lowest weight on MFP, but I'd be happy to be under 180!!!!!! I'm planning to do more exercise and keep an eye on my food intake!!!! LouiseXXXX

Wow! It's ages since I joined one of these challenges! So I'm in. Will put a reminder on my phone to weigh-in on Friday! Louise XXXXXXXXX

Weighed in this morning at 177lbs. LouiseXXX

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to post my weight tomorrow. I've just taken the bull by the horns and joined a gym so it'll be good to see if it makes any difference! LouiseXXX

Checking in at 180, which I think is a gain : ( October goal is to be 175lbs, which was my September goal but I've failed : ( LouiseXXX

:noway: Brilliant!!!!:bigsmile: LouiseXXX

Pah! No change this week! I can't wait to go back to work next Monday, I need routine!!!1 LouiseXXX

You need a damn good sports bra. Found this: http://www.sweatshop.co.uk/details.cfm?ProdID=6261 LouiseXXX

I used the watch ones and they were okay but the actual straps on the watch broke easily. I bought a Polar FT4 recently and I love it!!!!!! Well worth investing in a good brand! LouiseXXX

Well, I wouldn't say I 'loved' it but being able to run/jog! :bigsmile: As a child/teen, I'd only run to getaway from something. I started the Couch to 5K running programme in March and, although I haven't yet completed it, I'm amazed how long I can now run/jog for! I did 20 mins yesterday. Week 6 starts tomorrow and after…

Cheeky! :bigsmile: Weigh-in this morning 182lbs :sad: I'm hoping most of this is TOM weight (some of it will be crap eating). Going to eat really well over the next 2 weeks, get my exercise mojo back and get me some water down my neck!!!!! My lowest so far on MFP was 175lbs so that's my goal. LouiseXXX

For me, I'd love to see something similar to Home Economics on the curriculum from Primary school. I volunteer with a colleague at a school and we implement a 'Let's Get Cooking' programme, which encourages children to cook reasonably healthily. They do the preparation, cooking and washing up! It's great and the children…

Please can I weigh-in tomorrow? I've just seen your post but I've already had breakfast. LouiseXXX

At the mo, Joe Flanigan (Stargate Atlantis). He's very yummy. And also, John Barrowman! [/URL] [/URL]

Weight this morning = 179lbs. I'm ashamed to say I've done very little this week. This week IS going to be better. LouiseXXX

If you've never watched it, Miranda. I sooooooooooo love this comedienne. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GymUCt_MFoY Also, love a bit of The High Life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnReqwF9YAI Just the titles get me laughing! Love Red Dwarf too!!! LouiseXXXXXXXXXXX

Down to 180.5lbs today. Not the best weight loss, still a loss. I went to see a friend last week and ate out almost everyday. Came back and weighed 183lbs, not good. I'm ready for the next Postcard Challenge though!!!!! LouiseXXX

Well, I came back from my jolly to Bristol with an extra 2lbs to lose!! Which is an awful lot less than i expected. Today I weighed in at 178.5lbs, so that's a gain of 1.5lbs (so I've lost .5lbs of the 2lbs I put on!). Bargain!!!!!! I haven't followed any of the challenges this week but will be this week, promise…

Have just got back from a weekend away. Hoping not too bad a weigh-in tomorrow. LouiseXXXXXXXX

Whooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness for water, sweaty exercise and decent eating. Weigh-in this morning 177lbs, that 6lbs down!!!!!!!!! Managed to burned 2370 cals. Not sure what the next 3 days will bring, I'm off down to Bristol (UK) to see a friend. I'll being staying in a hotel and eating out mostly. I do have some…

Really hoping that my birthday weekend hasn't done too much damage!!!! I've been to 2 Zumba classes and thoroughly enjoyed them!!! Also, took delivery of my birthday pressie: a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor!!!! Still getting used to the buttons but I love it!!!! LouiseXXX
