  • The spreadsheet has been corrected, and I realise I knocked 2 people off the podium for week 1! @IanMoone30 and @tfs27 should have been joint 3rd. So sorry, you guys *need a blushing emoji on mfp*

  • Jan week 2 PW 245.6 CW 241.4 I messed up last week translating stones to lbs and put my weight as 235.6 (14 times table is not my strong point). I didnt realise until a couple of days ago when I accidentally found the week 1 results thread (craigo’s notification had got buried by Slimsons notifications) and saw everyone…

  • Hi @craigo3154 Sorry- I’m so embarrassed but I messed up translating from stones to lbs when I gave my week 1 weight. I only just found this page so didn’t realise. I was 17st 10lbs on 30th Dec (248lbs) and 17st 7.6lbs on 6th Jan (245.6lbs, not 235.6lbs). Sorry it took me so long to catch my mistake. *hands back sash to be…

  • Me too! I’ve just returned to MFP as tracking (carbs not calories- works best for me) keeps me accountable. I lost more than a stone earlier in the year but put it back on since September- work related stress

  • I know what you mean about the cold-from-Hell, Kids_Lit. I feel like I've only been virus free for 7 days since the start of December. Had to do a reading at my cousin's wedding with almost no voice (and ended up having brandy and ginger to help, but back on the wagon now, which is the important bit). I've been intending…

  • Thanks Christina. I've organised a challenge like this before, and its very time consuming. And incredibly well done to Not2late and Underconstruct- crazy good weight loss! Well done everyone, in fact x

  • Agghhhh! Hanging on to the no alcohol goal by the skin of my teeth. I lost it with my daughter yesterday (treats the place like a hotel etc etc etc), and the fury and distress drove me straight for a leftover wine box. Had one sip then chucked it down the sink. What I did discover is that even that degree of anger ( and I…

  • I'm with you- the white wine version! Its the end of the working week, my brain says 'You deserve a treat'. The fact that the treat kills off my brain cells, gives me fatty liver and insulin resistance and increases my chance of developing dementia as well as liver, throat, mouth and breast cancer.... I can only assume the…

  • New safe alcohol limits for the UK announced today by the chief medical officer- and they've reduced the limit for men to 14 units, the same as women (=1.5 bottles of wine per week). I have to admit to feeling smug for once, since I'm on the wagon, as opposed to way over the safe limit for women, men and elephants…

  • Welcome Kim and Rishii! Kim- lets keep an eye out for the 3 week danger signs. I'm up for turning them into 36 (or even 72) weeks of effort. Rishii- totally with you on the protein and veggie focus. Carbs are my downfall too. I've got about the same amount to lose as you, and a coke zero habit to break at some point (I'm…

  • Yep. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt... Hence no exercise goals for me in Jan. If I try to change too much, I run out of resources and fall off the wagon. At least we know ourselves better at this age!

  • Maryam- Go you! I've got that one, and am in awe of anyone who manages it. I only did it once and my feet flared up like rockets cos of the high impact bits. I might try again when I'm not carrying so much extra weight. Welcome, KidsLit and jolahada- good to see you!

  • Yes, definitely, LB. I'll call it 'How's it going?' Btw- great idea to log food regardless of 'good/bad/ugly' (made me laugh) on the way back to calorie limit. I'm trying to be honest too. And it doesn't look pretty today...

  • Day 4 done. Surprised how little I'm missing it. I usually have a glass of wine with my friend on Tuesdays after choir and I'm mentally practising 'Not for me thanks- i'm not drinking in January' before tomorrow ;)

  • Actually, you've made me think, Laurence. I've put lime or lemon in it before, but I could experiment with other fruit, and maybe even herbs (mint and raspberry?) and spices (ginger?). Now its starting to sound like a cold version of those weird teas you can get, which I have yet to develop a taste for lol

  • Hi Everyone I'm Ros, I'm 48 years old and 5'7" tall. I live in Sheffield, UK, I'm married and I have 3 not-so-small kids (aged 21, 19 and 13).

  • Lovely to hear from you all! I guess there is some enthusiasm for supporting each other as we approach this milestone. Amy- I'm totally with you on the consistent exercise and alcohol tripwires :/ Marie- Grrr. I hate that. You try so hard, take your eye off the ball for 2 seconds and before you know it, it's all undone.…

  • Its one of the things that I find tricky- I don't mind water, especially fizzy, but it does get boring. And I don't want to swap a water-with-alcohol-in habit for a water-with-sugar/artificial-sweetners-in habit! Its amazing how much money you can spend on sugary water in a supermarket :/

  • I'm in. I drink far too much and if I want to lose the weight, alcohol has to go. I've tried moderation, but stopping completely is easier for me- I usually do it every January. This year, I'm aiming to stay dry at least until my birthday at the end of Feb. It was novel to wake on New Years Day without a hangover! Lets go…
