Damn! That is loads of exercise. But with your willpower and the support here i am sure you are going to make it! Rhodenizer: Big welcome!! Hope you'll like it and no one could have presented this group in a better way than Jen did. I'm Hanna, from sweden. 26 years young ;) and I mostly walk (or have done so). Now i mix…

Love the ticker and the biggest loser top 10. I have a feeling i wont be on it the next week. Got on the scale today to look how i'm doing after 3 days of shredding but it seems im going up up up. Hopefully i'll get the weight off till sunday. Otherwise i'll have to use the cheese slicer... Have fun today! Xx

Congrats to all losses and for doing your very best. You guys are doing great! Day three of 30 is done with Jillian and I can't say i hate her or the jumping jacks any more. I felt fine when i got up from bed so i went stringht to jillian. Great way to start the day and now i am pretty much done exercising for today. with…

Glad you are okay. Take it easy and listen to your body and your doctor.

You will definitely weigh under 100 next week. You are doing loads of workouts and you eat healthy. It is a wonderful feeling to not weigh 100-something. keep up the hard work!! I did the 30 DS 1:1 today and even though it felt like she was putting me through hell during the workout (and trust me on this one - i HATE…

I've been reading horror stories about it but anyhow I got my hands on JM's 30 day shred today and I'm gonna give Jillian Michaels my body and soul. Anyone with me?

Yeah converting kilometres to miles, kilos to pounds, decilitres of water into cups is a real pain. I'm just glad I'm not alone on that one. Things take so much longer when you have to think about what you do. Anyway my Monday weight is now official (no its not Monday, not even here in little Sweden but to keep me off the…

Nice to have company, even though i dont think we are alone ;) and burning 500/day will give room for me to take a day off or getting sick in my April challenge. THAT is good to have a calorie reserve :D

I'm in for this one too... im a little ashamed to say i only burned 11069 in March :embarassed: and with an extra 10 percent that will be 12176 calories, but since we are rounding up i'll give 13000 my best shot. That is an average of 434 calories per day. Cant be too hard, right? As for my marathon challenge i'm…

Have a great time in Manchester, you deserve it! Jen - good to hear that you are too exhausted to feel down. Thats the way it should be on a grey day. Better than the alternative at least ;) I just finished a sculpt and toned Zumba DVD and i was sweating like hell during it but it was so much fun! That will be my rainy day…

Dont you worry, focus on the calories and the most important thing - your son. And so what if it'll take 31 days instead of 30...

Wow! that is an enormous amount of weight lost! Hope you'll get off that plateau soon.. sucks to be stuck!!

Haha, yeah it is always hard to be exclusive on here. Got scared me too and i like this little group of ours. Gonna be tough to keep track of both of these groups though. And as Jen said, some of them will drop out sooner rather than later, but i'll try to be nice to them lol :D Now im off to do some balcony cleaning…

Oh my! So many new people, gonna have a hard time keeping track of everyone and everything but I'll give it my very best and a big WELCOME to all of you. So here comes the facts about me: Name: Hanna (no h in the end :)) Location: Norrköping, Sweden CW: 214.7 GW for this challenge: 195 GW: 150 Workouts: I walk as much as i…

Well, i just realised that if we'll have a percentage or lbs goal for everyone in this group - i'll just go with the flow. But i expect nothing less than a loss of 20 lbs in 12 weeks for me :) Maybe im overestimating myself lol... Maybe 10%? But that might be too much? Since the average was around 6 - 7% in the last…

Haha, thats a good way of solving it Claire! I actually thought the same thing. For me this weeks challenge is to walk a marathon (combined that is) and to drink 2 litres of water each day. CW: 214.7 Challenge Goal Weight: 195 GW: 150

or maybe you can still train with weights, but don't add more weight the stronger you get, have the same amount or lessen the weight. That way you will maintain your muscles or make them smaller but still have the benefit of burning calories as you work out. Hope it made some sense?

how many children do you know Claire? Well have fun at the party and enjoy the cake!!

Sounds wonderful with a little holiday and even if you eat and drink a little more than you should you don't have to worry a bit. you are strong and treats are a part of life, no matter if you are already on your goal weight or not. just keep drinking a lot of water and it should be fine :) I've been overdoing the water…

me too, just poured my first litre (and of this morning i now know the differences in the English use of -re and -er, how hard can it be to have one single English language?! lol) of water and I'm gonna drink it before i go out on a sunny walk. Now i only have waffle and candy obstacles today, and that second litre of…

For me 5 miles a day is not to much of a problem (not that i am superwoman but i should be able to walk that distance in a little more than 1½h), though 2.5 would be a goal that i know for sure i can reach. I go with the flow and see what the rest of you think. But for Monday i think we should have gotten things straight…

Haha, i am to slow :D wish i didnt have to think so much when i write in english, you guys have to learn swedish soon lol

It is alot to walk 10.000 steps/day but it is hard to walk 10 h in a week as well. For me I have to walk for 90 minutes to get 500 kcals burnt and since that is the only exercise form I can afford at the moment it'll be a lot of walking to reach the 3500 goal. I have some videos as well which i need to do to up my…

You have done an awesome journey. I'm so happy for you and you'll be down a size before you know it!

Claire: perfectly fine with you being the seretary. You are doing such a great job - unless you are tired of the role that is? I drink 2 litres of water when it says 8 cups here. And yes i should have got that 3500 is for one week. I have no idea what has happened with my brain, maybe it has shrunk as well. ;)

I've got a pedometer. As long as we are just counting steps its alright with me ;) Is it 3500 kcals to burn in one or two weeks?

Okay, I had to step up on my scale 4 times today cause didnt really believe it. I am now down to 96 kgs /211.2 lbs just 1.2 lbs from reaching my goal :( Well, I will make those up on the next challenge :D Good job to all of you guys out there and even if you didnt reach you goal we have been given it our best. Are we gonna…

That is wise to listen to your body! Dieting is not the answer to anything, changing habits, eating good and exercise is. If MFP is working for you then i think you should stick with it no matter what your doctor says - and a loss of 5 lbs/week is a great loss. If your doctor doesnt think so too bad. Don't give up...we…

Forgive and forget. This is not something you do every day so it is fine! Once in a while you will overeat and since you did your best to make a good choice. Just forget about today and move forward...

hi every one! God i hate being unemployed, i cant keep track on which day it is! But with luck i realised it is wednesday today, my best friends birthday and mamogram day for me. So here comes the facts... Name: Hanna Location: Norrköping, Sweden CW: 97.5 kgs/ 214.5 lbs GW: 70 kgs/ 154 lbs - or rather i'll take it from 70…
