Ha, I am sure it will have just been water weight I've lost. How are you doing?

Hey all. Hope you're all doing well. How many of us are still doing this challenge? I have had a bad stomach bug the last few days and have lost 2 lbs over night. Which I know is just water. Once I am all better I am gonna fire my *kitten* into gear. I am going to quit procastinating and finally start the C25K. I would…

Hi all, how's everyone doin? I am needing to get my butt kicked to help motivate me. Am finding it really hard to get out in the dark after work, although I have been swimming a few times last week which really helped. I am trying to move as much as possible and have planned out this weeks meal to stop possible naughty…

I had an early weigh in as my usual day is tomorrow. But I was curious and I am glad I did as I've lost 2lbs. YAY

How's everyone doing? Anyone seen any losses so far?

WOO fantastic way to go!!

Hey, Welcome. The more the merrier. It's great for motivation to see so many wishing to reach the same goal as me. Am off to Body Combat tonight. Who else enjoys fitness classes?

I need a massive boot up my behind. Last night I didn't make it to the gym as I felt bleurgh. But I am determined to go to Body Combat tonight. We have a stepper in my office now so I can get some exercise at work. Plus I have downloaded some office exercises to keep me moving whilst sat at my desk. How is everyone else…

sorry to hear that. I found this http://planetgreen.discovery.com/food-health/leg-injury-upper-body-cardio-workout-in-bed.html not sure if that will be any help to you. To be honest i haven't checked the page throughly as I'm at work. Hope it does help.

wow, fantastic, you look awesome. Good luck with the rest of your journey.

Hey, welcome. Good luck with reaching your goal. What is your choice of punishment? ha I mean exercise?

FANTASTIC well done!!!. Keep it up.

Hiya, Welcome. Feel free to add me. I've been on here a while now and have had great support and motivation. I've lost 27lbs and am aiming for another 25lbs by christmas. Good luck on your journey.

Hey all, I had a bit of a fat weekend. But I don't seem to have gained anything which i think is a fluke. Tonight I am back to hitting the gym HARD. Am going to set myself up a nice little cardio routine with some strength training thrown in. Tomorrow I am back to Body Combat. I love this class and for christmas am getting…

Fab, ok so stick to your inital weighing day, Then final weighin will be Christmas Eve. Good luck everyone.

How about we all stick to our preferred days and just post in here on that day. I weighed in this morning and have maintained from last week which is a bonus considering Halloween hit. But it's only the 4th so I have plenty of time. I think the final weigh in should be Christmas Eve. Anyone else?

I usually weigh myself on a Friday as it gives me time to recover from shoddy weekends lol. Anyone else have a weighing day preference?

I've tried that, I really liked it. I just haven't got into a routine of it yet. Hope you get on well with it :)

I'm aiming for 25lbs, but as long as I get over 14 I'll be happy. I can't fit in the gym before work as my partner takes the car in the morning and I wouldn't be back in time. Am swimming tonight which gets me out of the house and moving.

Welcome everyone who has joined. I am struggling with the exercising at night, now that its getting dark at 4pm and I don't finish work until 5pm. Any suggestions?

Welcome everyone who joined yesterday. Not too late at all. I need to push myself to get out an exercise in the dark nights. It's getting dark here in the UK from about 4pm. Any suggestions?

I've had a good day today. Although I did finish the Halloween sweets. But still within my calories. Bonus being I know there's no more here left for me to eat. How did everyone else do?

The more the merrier. :) Anyone up for posting before pictures?

Great okay then we should have at least a weekly posting of how much you have lost that week. And if you want to post it on twitter as well then we can do that and those who have Twitter can follow. I was considering doing before pictures and then I would do an after picture up in my Christmas outfit. I will be posting…

Do you think we should have a weekly weigh in? To give us something to work towards. Just note if we have a loss etc?

My name is @monkeymin on twitter. I will be posting with the hashtag #lossforxmas if you put it on your saved search it will be easy to follow the tweets. For those without twitter I will also be posting here. Stating your goal is a great place to start as apparently we are more likely to succeed with a goal if you share…

Fantastic, this is great. I thought it would be a good place for us to share ideas, tips, problems, motivating things etc in this thread. If you haven't already, feel free to add me :) plus add each other etc.

I do stretches at my desk and in the bathroom, I also walk up and down the stairs. It keeps me sane as well as fit.
