Sorry, been absent from this loft for a while so I thought I would post. Hope you are all ok? Have been a bit lacking in enthusiasm lately as I seem to be surrounded by temptation, skinny people and my lack of willpower. Don't misunderstand - this site/challenges/support is brilliant, it's just me. I still need to lose…

Yes, have fun Maalea

Okay, weighed in with small loss this week. The fitness test certainly highlighted how unfit I am!! Have started this week on a more positive note with healthy meals today and started the 30 day shred level one. Foot is still causing trouble and I will probably have to go back to the doctor and try a different treatment.…

Hello new 'B' team! Another Pam here - Just thought I'd check in on the loft. Not impressed with my pathetic loss this week but I will be trying harder and including some serious exercise from now on as my torn ligament is now beginning to heal. Sorry to read about more injuries above. Please get well soon. We finally have…

I'm not great about taking my own advice but have found out the hard way that, as far as health/ exercise is concerned you cannot rush healing! It is frustrating but it will get sorted, hopefully quickly. Meanwhile rest it and don't risk further damage.

Yes, let's do it.

Hi all, I'm glad to say that the anti-inflammatories prescribed last week appear to be fixing the foot so I have been able to get some walking in and managed most of the line dancing! Birthdays at work have provided cake temptation and I was shocked to find out that the yummy costco blueberry muffins were 604calories each!…

Hiya, certainly haven't done particularly well on the challenges this week. No excuses just felt negative about foot injury and general hassles so apologies all. 1. 4/7 days of exercise 4 done 2. 1 session of something new. Done. Bought some new Davina hand weights with handle grips. Trying to reduce the batwings! 3.…

Warehouse 13, defiance, and repeats of stargate, voyager, enterprise, next gen........

Still thinking about an inspirational image to post but my reasons and motivation for continuing losing weight are 1. My health was at risk. I need to be in the healthy weight range to minimise risk and stop my family from worrying about me! 2. My weight depressed me - I looked older, had no energy and no confidence. It's…

Sorry Maalea and Badattitude, haven't been ignoring you/the loft but have some problems and not felt particularly sociable. Hubby has been suffering from a medical mystery which has been worrying us for a while now. Numerous tests have not identified a cause but we have been reassured that it is unlikely to be the return…

Barbecue (hunters) chicken with veg. Cover chicken with sauce and cover with foil. Slice peppers and courgettes place on baking tray Oven 200 degrees for 30 minutes, remove foil from chicken and add slice of cheese and return to oven for further five minutes. Boil and then mash potatoes. Steam Carrots and green beans

Yes I'll second that! Many thanks for keeping this challenge alive!

Greetings former Blue and Green team members and thanks to adancer59 for setting this up. I must admit to not doing particularly well on this weeks challenges but I hope to post a good loss and i will try to be supportive of this new group. Please feel free to add me, I've got a way to go and look forward to getting there!

Still playing and happy to continue in whatever format works!

I am! Still exercising and still counting those calories. It seems a lot of participants have dropped by the wayside but I like this supportive group and hope it keeps going.

I'm still here and have found this group a great motivator! I know lots have dropped out but hopefully we can keep it going - reforming new teams may be the answer.

Hiya green team! Sorry to read that some of you have not been well. Hopefully you are all on the mend and will soon be fighting fit! I must admit that I've not done as much as I could this week in the way of challenges - my knee still clicks when I do squats, probably damaged a bit when I fell a couple of weeks ago, and…

Hiya Green Dream team, Sunday evening and it's been an interesting week! 4-7 sessions of exercise Done 1 session of something new - rhythm boxing on wii fit. Done 135 Bicycle Crunches spread in 3 days - 135 not elegant and with a lot of groaning. Done 7xbreakfast - no problem as I always have breakfast otherwise I'd never…

Weekend mushrooms and egg on toast. 336 calories but very filling!

Glad you had a good time Maalea. I am really am enjoying this group. I need the challenges to spur me on and like you, some are no problem, such as breakfast every day and exercise x4. I've dug my elliptical out and hope to do 30 mins every day from now on ( fingers crossed) I don't look very elegant doing the bicycle…

Latest Dr.Who was a much better episode! Nice to see some of the internal rooms of the Tardis and the interactions between the Dr and Clara. The latest incarnation is definitely growing on me ( previously thought Mr. Tennent was brill). Weeping angels scary and far too memorable! Occurs to me that I watch far too much…

Whoops totally failed to paste picture.

Pan fried Sea Bass with pesto ratatouille steamed veg. Chop and fry onion, celery, mushrooms, and yellow pepper till soft - 5 mins Add tomatoes, pesto and purée. Reduce heat and cook further 7 minutes. In a heavy preheated fry pan fry fish skin down in oil then turn. Steam potatoes for 10 mins, add carrots and steam for a…

Sea bass fillets purchased. Now what to do with them for the recipe challenge??......

Hi green team members! Was/am looking forward to an online biggest loser! Had a rough start. Tripped over and hurt back, chin and nose, consequently no exercise for a few days. Now have toothache, may have jarred jaw when I fell, and have been put on antibiotics. Moan over. No more excuses - we can do this. Bring it on! PS…

Sounds fair to me.

Green team!
