wow you lot are doing amazingly!!!! how long did it take you to get down to 179? so proud of you all :)
-
sounds delicious. My total is often over 500 so I really need to keep an eye on that. I can't use my step app at the moment as the data usage will cost me a fortune, but only walked about 35 m in total so I doubt I reached very much. I'm guessing 3500 steps based on previous days. We only got the dog back this afternoon…

gained 0.8 this week and 1lb last week which means over the last 3 weeks I'm up 0.1lbs I know its because I've been eating too much and I'm hoping after time of the month it will go down (I always get crazy water retention leading up to it) so fingers crossed for a loss because I've been hovering around the same couple of…

Cynthia you are doing amazingly! Fingers crossed you'l see 179 very soon! How is everyone doing? We are officially 1/4 of the way through the challenge now so you should be getting used to what works best for you. This week I'm doing my fast today and friday. Hoping for a big loss after time of the month, especially as…

8000 wow that is brilliant :) I didn't manage my second fast day either so I won't weigh in til next sat, but I'll do 2 good fast days this week, mon and Fri, so hopefully I won't gain again. I'm back to the weight I started at the beginning of this challenge which is sad. But time of the month is coming up so I should go…

well done lou and lonypony! Its so nice to have a loss show isn't it! I'm weighing in tomorrow and as things are going I'm showing a pound gain this week and last week, which I'm really not happy about. Last week was caused by overeating so I can only blame myself, but I've been much more active this week and getting more…
-
well done lonypony! super proud of you :) my challenges so far have been to eat more fruit and veg, log my calories, reduce sweet things and generally eat less, all of which I am gradually acheiving everyday, but I need to keep going. I'm rubbish with the evening deadlines though, even just doing it for 4 days in a row!
-
best of luck on the double fast. I'm on the second day of a double fast and feeling good. I weighed in this morning and was tempted to have a normal day today as I'm still up a pound for the week :( (and I wanted to lose 2lbs this week!) but I know having another fast day is what I need. So I'll weigh again tomorrow…
-
Non Scale Victory....went for a walk to the shop to get some milk and work towards my daily 10k steps. Now, it is a fast day today and everyone knows the shop is DANGEROUS on a fast day! I was walking around for ages, but my self control won out and I just got a packet of 14cal crackers!!!! So often I've talked myself out…
-
3586 steps today. Not amazing but I got out and got moving....all because of you :) ALL YOU!! What a great team we make!
-
I think the idea behind the 'don't skip breakfast' rule is that people make up for it later in the day, by eating too much. There seems to be some confusion as to whether eating regularly actually helps the metabolism or not. I figure on fast days I won't be compensating for not eating breakfast so it works for me at the…
-
that is still a lot of walking! I've been working all day today with no end in sight, but you've inspired me to get off my bum and go for a walk before it gets dark :) I'll take a super long route to the shop and try to get my steps over 5000 at least!! Thank you so much for doing this with me :) I probably would have…
-
6 lbs in 2 weeks is amazing!!! I'm lucky if I lose 1lb a week ;) So, it is nearly 3 weeks into this, how is everyone doing? (although I guess that depends on when you started....but 3 weeks since I started the group anyway!) I've been logging everything and I'm absolutely appalled by the ridiculous amount I eat on any…
-
6474 today! So far my progress has been: Day1- 523 Day2 - 1790 Day3- 3417 Day4- 4086 Day5- 90 Day6- 7809 Day7- 5710 Day8- 6474 Can't believe we've been doing this for over a week! Next week I'll be in Ireland and I'm sure my gran's Alsatian will help get the steps up! What you got planned for the weekend?
-
Well done for the epic mowing sweat-off!! yesterday my fast went to pot so I've moved it to Friday instead. Only made it to 5710 steps, but I'm snowed under with work so its difficult getting out and walking as much. Going out for a quick walk this evening to ensure my steps aren't nil, but feeling the pressure of work…
-
I've started swimming 5 days a week and trying to reach 10k steps each day. I always try to do too much early on and end up quitting but I think I'll work my way up to peak fitness this time. I get so annoyed when my partner tries to be supportive by pushing runs and healthy eating. We're doing it for us!! And it isn't…
-
We all have bad days. Shake it off and aim for the sky tomorrow :) or have an extra fast day if it was really bad ;) I'm fasting today so we'll see how if affects my energy levels. Best of luck for another day :) xxx
-
I've changed it to skip breakfast and just have a little lunch and dinner. It's easier to keep the calories low that way. Might try the noon til noon idea though.
-
This is wonderful. I've been doing it for a few months but I eat too much so my progress isn't great. Only 10lbs loss. But going to cut back on treats and hopefully I'll reach 185 by new year :)
-
Wow you are amazing!! I'm so proud of you for achieving so much in a day! Today's total was 7809!! Still not 10k but I'm getting there!! I'm amazed how much walking equals 10k steps. I haven't moved much at all for the last year!!! Hopefully this will help me reach onederland by sept 7th!!
-
Today is the first day of logging a nonfast day in a long time and it has taught me where I am going wrong. I ate SO much and from now on I'm going to take the attitude that if I'm embarrassed to log it I shouldn't be eating it!!!
-
Despite what the book says about nt measuring calories on non fast days I'm going to go back to logging everything. The freedom of eating 'normally' just means I eat too much so I'm going to aim for 1700 cals on nonfast days and hope that the weight goes down again. Greenbird I think that is a great idea. Well done for…
-
ooh I've got to check out the hip hop abs! This is a great plan and I'm sure you can do this :)
-
You're doing amazingly. Yesterday I walked a super long and roundabout way to the shops (i live in the city so theres no nice lake to walk around :() and I only made 4086 but its getting higher each day :) I so know what you mean about any excuse to not walk. I am a pro at talking myself out of exercise. I was supposed to…
-
blame it on water retention. That's what I'm doing :) It could also be your muscles hanging on to more water because you're working them more. All other signs are positive so ignore the number on the scales this week :) You're doing amazingly!
-
What a great challenge! I need to eat my veg aaaaaall the time :)
-
My week 3 challenge is to eat clean! and cut back on sugar. I want to lose 2 lbs this week so i need to get my head in the game! Moving more, eating less and better.
-
wooooooh! power walking is probably better than a gentle stroll so it is still a win!!! I didn't make it to 10k either, but so far I've doubled my steps each day, pretty much :) Thurs: 523 steps (only turned it on halfway through the day) Fri: 1790 steps Sat: 3417 steps Sun: aiming for 7k :) but we'll see :) Now when I…
-
any loss is a win :) I think the less you have to lose the harder it is. In theory that means that losing 70lbs like I want to, should be easy....maybe it would be if I stopped eating sugar!
-
You sweetheart. You are helping me a great deal. Today I have to go shopping so hopefully that will help me reach 10k. I'm surprised your epic walking didn't add up to more than 11k. Thank you so much for doing this with me! We are going to be so svelt in 10 weeks time :) xxx
