In the UK on BBC3 recently was a programmes about "diet" and "low fat" foods and drinks.... They showed a little experiment where they gave half a rugby team full sugar drinks e.g. coke and tango, and the other half the diet versions of the drinks... After a while they were all taken to a room where there was a massive…

Emmascott - Could you post the website please? Xx

Thanks Jen :flowerforyou:

Fab! A 4oz glass of jose cuervo margaritas (pre-mixed margarita) is 110kcal.... So if you're in the UK get to Tesco! It's only about £5 a bottle too!!

I'll be having a little look at the scale tomorrow morning as it's my weigh in on another looooooooooooooong challenge (to lose 60lb by Halloween) so I'm hoping to see me under that 280lbs!!! Will see what the official weight is on Wednesday though! Will I have hit my goal early?!

I started off using Slim fast shakes and bars... Lasted about a month... Just got fed up of having the same thing every morning and lunch time! Then I realised I could have a better breakfast at less cals!! I still use the snack things though - I keep them in my bag and so if I'm out of the house and feel peckish mid…

Wow Rachel! That's amazing! and out of 130 people, 75th is dam good! I would have been the 130th or the one they stretchered off so DNF!!! Be proud of yourself girl! xxx

That sounds good!! Will be trying them sometime! Thanks! x

That's a fantastic idea Jen! I'm going to use the upstairs toilet this week instead of the downstairs one

Indeed! We've all done tremendously well! Here's to next week!!! Anyone got any mini challenges they'd like to put forward? be nice to have another one before we end this journey (and hopefully set a new goal and start it all again?!)

I've ALWAYS been overweight... I couldn't wear the correct shirt at my high school as they didn't do a size big enough so I had to buy a white shirt and dye it blue - always had to stand in the middle of school photos with the other fat kids cos we had different coloured shirts.... I'd tried and failed to lose it in the…

Melissa - guess you can always add more or less of the spices to taste! Quinoa is a weird texture... I wasn't sure about it when I first had it but I enjoyed it in that curry! Not sure if I'd like it on it's own tbh...

I haven't tried my 30ds yet - got too many other things on the go this month! I do find it doesn't always register my movements accurately but like someone else said - I'm definitely moving! With regards to my HRM I find it differs - on some things I find I've burned less and on others more - like walking... But I ALWAYS…

yeah I think 3 really as looking in the pot there was another serving left over! Hope you enjoy it!

Hello! I managed the slim fast shakes and bars for about a month and then started to crave "proper" food! But in that month I did lose about a stone in weight.... I still use the snacks occasionally as they're easy to carry around in my bag and are great if I want a quick chocolate fix! The chocolate peanut Meal…

I'd LOVE to lose 100lbs in a year! My aim is around 80lbs but any more is a bonus! Friend request me if you'd like some support along the way - I've been at this for 45 days and have lost 22lbs so far x

Sounds lovely! I have a quinoa chicken curry recipe... We had it for dinner this evening... It was pretty damn good!

7lbs in 3 weeks? It's certainly do-able and I'm sure if you put your mind to it you'll make it!!! I've got 1.4lbs to go to reach my goal so I should nail that next week! I'm so excited!!!

Woooooo and indeed hooooooo!! Didn't think I'd have lost anything this week what with my weekend but I've lost 1.8lbs! Not a huge number but more than I was expecting so I'm well chuffed... Back at it today then! Well done to all who have posted and lost.... To any of you who haven't bookmarked the spreadsheet the link is:…

I always log the figures on my HRM.... Though I don't have EA 2 yet (OH ordered it on the wrong format!) I think I will still continue to record my HRM figures....

Better to make it yourself than buy the shop bought kind I think... Yeah I did have a sneaky peak before my batteries died on the scales and I was up 1lb I think.... Hope I've maybe done enough in these 2 days to claw some of it back... We shall see tomorrow!

Right girls - weigh in tomorrow... I don't expect have have lost ANYTHING this week - in fact I've probably put on something because of my naughty weekend... But there we go... Onwards and upwards! Or should that be downwards in regards to the scales!

which one's are you having trouble with??

I bought myself a new pair of shoes today to entice my get up and go back... I think it's worked a bit!

I live in Mid Wales, Newtown, but was born in south Wales, in Abergavenny and lived in Tredegar until I was about 4... Went to a welsh medium primary school so have been speaking welsh for a good few years though had forgotten a lot of it until my son started in the same school I went to last September... It's all coming…

Lol! You may win - but we'll give you a run for you money!!! As long as you do the English for us!

Cymraeg ardderchog! Ble wyt ti'n byw? Wyt ti wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg am hir? xx

I'll push you if you pull me?!!! Really lost that buzz I've had for the first few weeks... It's a bit like a chore now but I don't want to give up! I hope that maybe when I receive my 30 day shred dvd i get the buzz back and don't just wimp out! Hope your week improves x

I've been wondering this too... Think I'll write down was today's says and see how close I am in 5 weeks time! x

Good morning! Batteries have died in my scales so as soon as I've managed to get new ones I'll post my weigh in for this week! Hope everyone is doing well! x
