Think I'm going to be over on my cals today (sorry Jen) as am off out shortly for my bestest's birthday meal... And have cooked her a surprise red velvet cake birthday cake so will be indulging in that later no doubt! Have been REALLY good all week though so should even out average wise... Big loves to you all! xxx

TOM is due so not too concerned about the 1.6lbs gain this week.... Have exercised hard and eaten well so will reap the rewards once TOM leaves!! Current Weight (As of today): 265lbs Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 243lbs No of pounds to lose: 24 Weight Category: REDUCE! 9/1: **start of challenge** 267lbs 9/8:…

I'll give whatever everyone decides a go but I may fall short!

had to have a rest day today! bum and thighs are very sore from all the kettling and biking I did yesterday.... Did do my last lot of push ups though... So I think I've completed all the daily challenge exercises already! Going for a meal on Saturday evening for my best friend's birthday... Have had a chance to check out…

Do not think I could possibly eat back all my calories today! Unless I gorge myself on chocolate and I don't think that's advisable! Damn!

Kettleworx done... Jumping jacks done.... Will try jumping up and down on a step shortly... Bike ride first! Today is clearly as exercise day... :tongue:

re plyo jumps - could you just do it on and off a step? Cos if you can - i'll give that a go today!! Off to kettlehell this morning... and then am meant to do 20 mins cardio but don't know if my mum (lift home) will wait for me to do that on top of the hour I've already done! Contemplating going back to driving lessons....…

what's a plyo jump?!

hello! Did the tricep dips today... but no idea what the calorie burn was.... Never mind!

Becky - posh hotel sounds lovely! Have a great time! I'm out celebrating my best friend's birthday this weekend - we're going for a meal but there won't be too much alcohol drunk as she's got her second round of IVF later in the week so that will keep the calories down as I'll not drink to support her... Will get round to…

@ Jen - you're not alone chicca - we're all willing you on while we sleep! Well done on the skipping - I should dig my skipping rope out too! @Rach - It felt a bit rubbish just doing the one exercise so I'll probably do the same today as I did yesterday! Will amend my points on the spreadsheet! Weather is really rubbish…

bumping! Wonder if canned pumpkin is available in the UK??

Anyone heard from Tami?? :huh:

Well I just grabbed half hour to do a bit of exercise in the kitchen! With regards to the challenge exercises I've done: 50 squats (25 with my 4.5lb kettlebell) 50 lunges 20 push ups (from the knee - can't do "real" ones yet!) 50 ab crunches (25 w/ kettlebell) couldn't do jumping jacks as sports bra is in the wash and I…

Awesome chart Felisha! And I'm so happy to see myself as biggest loser in my category! Long may it continue! Great job to everyone on the chart.... as Jen said we're all winners just for being here! Here's to week 2! :drinker:

Weighed this morning... 267lbs! :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: Ah well... Just got to think of it as a starting point for this challenge and by the end of it I should be out of the 260s! Will check back in later when I've done my work out for the day - it's gale force winds and squalling rain here so think…

50 Push ups?! good god!!! Thanks for my bonus point! Will try and get some more biking in this week as gym time may be limited... Think I may dig out EA active though if OH allows me to take over the living room for an hour a day! I've changed my goals on here to be losing 1lbs a week... I know it sounds crap but with this…

Well done Jen! That's great loss! I think there's a lot to be said for relaxing a bit... Exercise doesn't have to be hard work!!!

Don't lose heart Nikki - I'd say it probably is TOM... He's such a bugger! Just come back from a leisurely evening bike ride with OH, DS and my bestest buddy.... Burned 320 cals in just over an hour - would be more if DS didn't keep stopping!!! And only had 1 near accident and 1 chain mishap!!! Can't wait to go again -…

Thanks megcc! I've adopted it into my siggy! :flowerforyou:

First weigh in today! Am now weighing 263.4lbs so a loss of 3.6lbs! Pretty impressed with that! Off to boxercise class now so good luck to everyone else! Can't wait to see the chart!! :drinker: Current Weight (As of today): 263.4lbs Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): 243lbs No of pounds to lose: 24 Weight Category:…

ahhh Courtney - I'm sure things will get better between you and your step son... Huge hugs for you xxx Becci - Nice to see you bad chicca! Sorry your back is still a bit iffy though - I can a stiff back when I sleep in certain positions too... Kettlehell was hard work yesterday for that very reason and today my bum is…

Wow! Everyone's doing really well! I'll weigh in tomorrow morning x

I've lost the chest strap for my HRM so will have to go on mfp cals... and forgot we were doing it so haven't done much! god i'm crap!! :ohwell:

Lovely... Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Hi! When do we do our next weigh in? x

That's some impressive spreadsheeting talent you have there Rach! Looking forward to whooping some butt with you Jen! I've had the new date for my medical assessment... Wednesday 21st September.... Bit apprehensive about it as you all well know!! Guess what will be will be... Have been thinking about maybe going back to…

Let's start it next week.... If that's good with everyone? Where are Hanna, Tami, Becky and Nikki?! Haven't heard a peep off them in ages!

Oh! I have a slanket!!! I like to wear it and pretend I'm a wizard! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Sorry for sounding thick but what's a snuggie?! They sound fab!
