Having bought 2 cheapo heart rate watches (no chest straps with them) and having both of them break (the actual watch straps plus they are very hit and miss when they work!), I am now in the process of getting a Polar ft4 (amazon). Bought it for £56 but have good recommendations that it will last!!! LouiseXXX

Whoohoo!!!!!!!!!! Your postcard from the UK will be on it's way to you by the weekend. My hols in the Lake District played havoc with my weight loss and I'm up to 181lbs today (I've lost 2.5lbs since being back so I'm hoping to lose plenty this month) As for my hard work: Zumba class (which I tried on my hols and loved),…

Thanks for the invite bronwenhilary. Good to be back with the Gryffindors. Well, after a fabulous weight loss for the Harry Potter Challenge, quite a bit went back on during my hols :sad: Still, onwards and downwards. My weight, as of yesterday morning, is 183lbs. Goal for start of school term (1st September) - I'd love to…

Okay, the waiting is over. With an amazing loss of 10.6lbs, the winner of Postcard Challenge 25 is... :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: edinat :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: An amazing weight loss, well done. I had final weigh-ins from 14 peeps and altogether you lost 68.7lbs!!!!!! That's an average of 4.9lbs!!!!!!!!…

Okay, peeps! I'm off on me hols tomorrow so keep up the good work and post your final weights on Monday 1st August. I'll try and send messages to you all (I'm taking my laptop with me but won't be using it much, it is my holiday). LouiseXXX

Excellent!!! Keep it up! LouiseXXX

Okay, I have you all written down in my notebook. I'll be checking in every so often, see what you are all up to! LouiseXXX

New thread up and running: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/287954-postcard-challenge-25 LouiseXXX

Okay, had a couple of replies to my quandary and it seems that most are happy with a longer challenge. So, I'll post a new challenge tomorrow and put the link on here for you all. If anyone from this challenge wants to add me, please do, but please mention this challenge :bigsmile: Louise XXX

Okay, Postcarders, I have a dilemma. I was going to start the challenge tomorrow but I go on my hols on Mon 25th and possibly won't be back in the land of the internet 'til Mon 1st August. So, the challenge can either start tomorrow, 13th or on 18th? If it starts on the 13th, it'll be an extra long Challenge!!! :bigsmile:…

When the winner is announced, please (pretty please with cherries on top) could you post the link to the new thread on here??? LouiseXXX

Well, I managed to hit my goal and weigh in today at 175lbs!!!!!!!! On my way to ONE-SIXTYland and very happy!!!! Good luck to everyone else, hope you've had a fantastic 2 weeks! LouiseXXX

I'm in!!! I do so love these challenges, only 2 weeks of your life!!! Weighed in today at 179.5lbs and would love to head towards 175lbs by the end of the challenge. I set myself some commitments for the rest of June, which will carry on thru July ( family holiday at Centre Parcs, here in the UK - link if you want to see:…

Hoo-flippin'-rah!!!!!!!! I have reached 170s!!!!!!! Weight this morning 179.5lbs!!!!!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Very happy bunny!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Good luck everyone!!!! LouiseXXX

Fingers crossed Gryffindor, there may be a weight loss this Sunday!!!! :bigsmile: Well, there was this morning, I actually made it to the 170s... 179.5lbs in fact. That's just the kind of motivation I need. I've been stuck in the 180s for months so this is a breakthrough for me and has made me more motivated to get into…

Weight this morning = 182lbs. Booooo! But not bad considering I had to cope with a birthday and Father's Day this weekend! I've made a commitment to myself for the rest of June: burn 500+cals, 5 days a week (double that on Sat or Sun), cut out my weekend crisps (going to swap for popcorn - I have a popcorn maker) and stay…

Will post my weight tomorrow. Not expecting a loss (possibly a gain!!). A combination of my daughter's 14th birthday and Father's Day hasn't been good for me this weekend!!! LouiseXXX

No loss for me. Not sure what to do! Any ideas? I reduced my calorie goal back to 1200 (I upped it to 1500 to see if that helped). I am eating back almost all my exercise calories, I don't want to be under too often. Think I'm going to give up my weekend bottle of wine and crisps/chips. See if that makes any difference. On…

Sorry, peeps. I'm taking a break from the challenge. Will get it back up and running in August/September - in preparation for Just Dance 3!!!!!! LouiseXXX

Weight this morning = 180.5lbs. As I've said in the last 2-3 challenges, I soooooo want to see 170s this time round and June is the month to do it in!!! Going to do my exercise and drink my water and stay within calorie goal (maybe slightly over as I've set my intake at 1200 again, I don't like going under!!!) and, fingers…

Thanks for the message! I'm in!!!! LouiseXXX

Weight this morning = 180.5lbs... Temptingly close to 170s. Maybe next week... LouiseXXX

Weighed in this morning = 180.5lbs. Very temptingly, the scales showed 179.5lbs at one point!!!! LouiseXXX

Hmmmm... Not the greatest start (won't go into details but my digestive system is a bit sluggish at the mo!), I managed a very slow 1 mile walk with my friend and her daughters this aft! When I feel better, I'll up my miles... Promise!!! LouiseXXX
