My weight went up this week, 181.5lbs this morning. Argh! Think I'm going to have to up my exercise routine, been a bit slack this week. I'm pretty disappointed 'cos I sooooooo want to see 170s. Pah!!!!!! LouiseXXX

Give it a go! Make sure you don't think you are Usain Bolt though!!!! Take it easy, repeat weeks if you need to (I'm yet to get past week 6!!!!!!). I started the programme at the end of February and I can honestly say week 1 was the hardest!!!! I was around 190lbs when I started and never thought I'd get this far. I'm…

I had a regime of doing boxing, step, hula hoop and jogging. I ended up sweaty!!!!!! They are obviously good for cardio but I've used the 'my workout' option on wii fit plus to make up a routine for strength and muscle. It's great. I don't do it often, twice a week maybe, but I enjoy it more that way! LouiseXXX

I went through a phase of joining a few challenges and weighing in on those days, before realising I was weighing myself 3-4 times a week!!!! Ridiculous! Now I've joined just one long-term challenge and the weigh in is on Sunday. If I join any other challenges, I'm going to use that weigh in day, so I don't get obsessed…

I've got it. Don't play it as often as I should but I usually play the classes. I use a heart rate watch to check my calories, around 175 for 20mins for the beginner class. But that depends on your weight and how much effort you put into it!!!! LouiseXXX

I'm scared!!!!! That's fighting talk!!!! LouiseXXX

Ah, but did you burn some cals? Get hot and sweaty? Yes... Good!!!! If not, you need to practise longer!!!!!! LouiseXXX P.S. Love your profile piccie, good to see who you are!

Whoohoo!!!!!! Well done!!!! LouiseXXX

As above! Wish I had been able to see the difference at 10lbs down. Took me 'til 40lbs down to notice a difference (but only 'cos I didn't take any photos in-between!!!). Well done, you!!!!!! LouiseXXX

Had a loverly weigh this morning - 180.5lbs!!!!! Giving my body a bit of a kick. I am so going to see 170s this challenge. How's everyone else doing??? LouiseXXX

Okay, all over and done with. Our winner this week is GoldenGirl1979! She managed to trounce everyone of my scores!!!!! SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL = 11280PTS VAMPIRE WEEKEND = 10968PTS BIG GIRL = 10221PTS Well done again!!!! New thread is up and running:…

Absolutely agree! I started to plateau, seeing the same 6lbs going and coming back. I do eat back my calories but was on 1200 cals a day. I upped the cals to 1500 but still stayed as close to 1200 as poss, and nothing happened. Well, my lovely MFPs told me that I'd upped my cals for a reason and to stick to them. Well, the…

Big Girl was my nemesis for quite a while, there's a bit where the arms go all over the place and I couldn't work it out!!! But practise makes, sort of, perfect and I can do the 'fling your arms all over the place' section!!!!! LouiseXXX

You may think you suck, what who cares??? Not me! As long as you are having fun :bigsmile: LouiseXXX

Starting weight for the challenge = 183lbs 8th May = 180.5lbs Please, oh please, oh please, let me see 170s next weigh in :love: LouiseXXX

There was no big epiphany for me. I joined this site around about this time last year and half-heartedly logged food and exercise. Then in September last year, I decided that was it! I needed to lose the weight, eat better, drink less alcohol and do some more exercise! It just happened. At first, I didn't have any friends,…

Think the decision is totally up to you, Uno. I've joined challenges before, that run for several weeks and end up being one of only 3 or 4 still posting!!!! So although, you have loads now, some may drop out. It all depends how much extra work it places on you and the other Heads of House. I'm all for it being kept…

It's by A PUNK. It should come after Sympathy for the Devil, in the 'technic' order. LouiseXXX

I went through a bit of a 'funk' this week so decided to go with the flow! Managed to only put on 2lbs so my end weight is 183lbs. Think the 'funk' was due to TOM making an appearance. LouiseXXX
