0.8lbs lost this week... Takes me to 262lbs... Not the loss I was expecting after all the exercise I've done but I've been VERY under with my intake this week - like 200cals under so maybe I'm not eating enough... And TOM is due tomorrow so that's probably playing a part too.. Any advice peeps?! Rach - that's a fantastic…

Oh Tami - I'm so sorry... I second everything Hanna has said and we'll all be here for you if you need us... xx

yep - that's her! she used to be a plus size model - size UK 16 and then lost weight... Cris - thanks for the tip... will try it now! Yay it worked! Thanks for your help peeps! I think Sophie Dahl is fab - she's healthy looking and not overly toned... She's a bit more achievable for me - I'll never have the washboard abs…

Shallo - how did you get your pic to work?!

Would have to Sophie Dahl... Pre massive weight loss... She has wonderful curves and looks confident in her own skin... (Hope the images work!!) Damn it - didn't work - photobucket is clearly being silly...

Jenni - all that stair climbing will be more than enough exercise! Good luck with your daughters move - I'm sure it'll be a bitter-sweet day for you all... Hanna - Well done on the run!! You amaze me! w1 still shatters me!! Had wonderful boxercise this morning - damn I love that class... Will try and get a gym work out in…

Becci - what does kelp do? I don't take any supplements at the moment... Maybe I should! Hanna - What lemonade did you make? What's the recipe?! Any challenge is going to be tricky for me next week - It's half term for DS so may go camping again depending on the weather (if it carries on raining we won't be going!) Sounds…

I'm not sure who's bright idea it was to do c25k straight after an hour of kettlehell but I'm shattered! Going to have a well deserved day of rest tomorrow - my muscles need to heal!!

well my little cube worked! Weighed in this morning at 262.8lbs... So that gives me 4 weeks to lose 10lbs... Do-able I think, just got to lose more than 1.2lbs a week! Becci - we're all here to support you - let us know what you need us to do... Like Jenni said - I think a group challenge is in order... Get your thinking…

Had a manic morning and totally forgot to jump on the scales! Will jump on tomorrow though i'm not expecting anything much as I feel really bloated with TOM a' knocking and I haven't had a "clear out" for days.... Have had a fig and rhubarb cube that is supposed to "support natural intestinal transit" so hopefully that…

That's fabulous Rach!! I bet you're over the moon! xx

Hanna - you're doing so well! I messed up yesterday and went well over my cals (hangs head)... Not expecting a loss this week an like I've said - the madness of 11lbs off last week was rubbish! I'm a bit constipated at the moment too I think... So that could contribute to the lack of loss... Will be good today and fingers…

Are your mfp and biggest loser calorie intakes roughly the same? I'm thinking of changing my mfp goal to the same as my biggest loser goal for the week to see if it makes any difference - been plateauing for a couple of weeks now...

Did my boxercise this morning - loved it as usual! Got a gym session planned for tomorrow morning and then a day off on Sunday... Monday I'm off to the gym with a friend and then going to restart c25k with her in the park after the gym session... Hopefully then can work through it as it should be so doing d2 and d3 after…

Tami - that's amazing! So glad you've broken that plateau! You're doing so well! x

They sound delicious! Will definitely be buying the ingredients next time I go shopping... Anything with peanut butter in it is fine by me! Thanks!

V! You're back! Missed you lady! All those classes sounds great - vikram yoga - what type of yoga is that then? Today has been a big ol exercise day! burned 953 cals! Looking forward to a nice roast beef dinner with ALL the trimmings! Yum yum! Going to take a rest day tomorrow and then boxercise on friday morning...…

Off to kettleworx shortly... Dreading it a little as my friend who was in last nights class said she was doing a lot of leg work so that means she'll do the same this morning probably! Squats and lunges how I hate thee!! Going with the same friend to the gym after lunch too... I definitely think that really low weight last…

Well I did w1d2 of the c25k today... didn't feel tooooo awful after it either though jogging for the full minute is still a bit of a struggle! But I did it anyway! A week after doing w1d1 lol! Kettleworx AND gym pencilled in for tomorrow... Morning and afternoon workouts! If the weather's nice I'll try and get in w1d3 on…

I have no idea what a "larabar" is but the thought of ANYTHING with pb&j is all good with me! Will have to try making these sometime! Are they very high in cals? Good after a workout?

I've just found the elomi sports bra - and I LOVE it! Really supports the girls well.... and my girls are pretty ample!! :laugh:

Well if the scale was right last week and I really was 256.8 then I have 4.8lbs to lose in the 5 weeks left.... However, I have a sneaky suspicion that this will not be the case! It remains to be seen!

don't think I've done anything too unusual... Maybe I'd been retaining water from DOMS? gym twice and 2 classes... Think I'd better do my measurements!

I keep getting numb toes and a popping sensation in the arch of my foot so I've been told to stop the running until I've been to get some proper running trainers that are tailored to my feet and gait... Will be taking a trip to the shop in the next couple of weeks so until then will be putting the c25k on hold (will still…

I'm in total shock.... The scales must be wrong.... I can't have lost 11lbs!!!

Tami - love the new pic! So happy that your meeting went perfectly! I ran today! ME! Running! And I enjoyed it! A friend of mine saw my fb status and wants to start running with me... Will be much better to do it outside along the canal than in a gym on a treadmill!

Well done chick! Can you just confirm your weight for me as I don't have a recent weigh in for you - sorry! Was a bit rubbish as I was away on holiday!

Sorry peeps - didn't manage to do c25k today... Spent the day assembling ikea items! Kettleworx tomorrow morning and then shoe shopping for my DD... Will have to work out where I can fit in the c25k!!

oooo yes - interested to see the responses to this! x

Well.... Guess I can give it a go! I'm hoping the weather will improve again so we start taking the kids for walks along the canal - will be able to whack in a bit of c25k.... I'm tempted to get the iphone app too... Am going to see how different the treadmill version is from the "proper" outside version... Thanks ladies!…
