Tbh mine wasn't unexpected. I have struggled with severe binge eating in the past. After almost a year I clawed myself out of it but it's always under the surface... The past week has been incredibly stressful and led to something of a relapse. Still, today I've stuck under my goals so I'm taking it as a positive. I'm…

Start of Challenge: 159.2lbs Week 1: 155lbs Week 2: 153.8lbs Week 3: 153.3lbs Week 4: 154.1lbs A gain to finish the month so not great. Definitely strong motivation to get going properly though...I'm off to cycle 20k! Are we doing a February group?

Original Weight: 198lbs Start of Challenge: 159.2lbs Week 1: 155lbs Week 2: 153.8lbs Week 3: 153.3lbs Half a pound! Half an actual pound! Huhhhh... Fingers crossed next week is more productive!

Today's goals Cycle 25km No snacking after exercise Stay within calorie limit Drink only water

Thanks :) It's so frustrating when you're working hard but the scale isn't moving =\ My biggest problem is eating after exercise... I've promised myself tonight that I'm going to do the 25km and then have one 45kcal soup drink. Hopefully having to sip liquid means I'll feel fuller and not resort to snacking. Fingers…

Hahaha, thanks :) I've got to give a presentation soon on the five words that sum me up as a person...let's make organised word 1/5 :p ;)

Thanks :) I think the double stress of going back to work and preparing for a job interview helped!

I'm so sorry to be a pain but could someone add me to the spreadsheet (my laptop went blue screen on me and my iPhone is really not cooperating :s ) Username = chloe2300 Current Weight = 159.2lbs Challenge Weight Loss Goal = 20lbs

Sorry for the late post! Original Weight: 198lbs Starting Weight: 159.2lbs Week 1: 156lbs Loss = 3.2lbs GW: 125lbs

My plan is to keep the calories low, switch to drinking only water and try to cut out refined sugar. I'll stick with exercising on my bike - I'm aiming for 10k per day (I know it's not much but I want a distance I can commit to) working at level 22.

Happy New Year! My goals for next 100 days: 1. Be under 10st (140lbs) by the end of the challenge 2. Cycle 10k DAILY on my exercise bike, working at no lower than level 20 3. Go the 100 days without binge eating - I've struggled with this for the past 14months... 4. Reduce my intake of refined sugar Good luck with today's…

Hi everyone, I'm Chloë. I'm from England and am training to become a teacher. Starting weight: 198lbs Current weight: 159.2lbs Goal Weight: 125lbs My goal is definitely to lose 2lbs a week. Losing at this rate will get me down to my GW just in time for a weeklong course in Belgium and my birthday so there's lots of…

Sorry for being absent! Hope you're both still sticking to the challenge. I've been poor recently but have just finished a 95min cycle :)

Hi, not sure if anyone is following anymore...the summer challenge worked so well for but recently I've stalled and really want to get back on track

Hi. Sorry for being away so long. I was unwell at the start of the week then started a new job on Wednesday so things have been a bit mental. I can't quite believe I walked over 200 miles, when I first set my target of 150 I thought that might be pushing it! Although the exercise has improved I think my diet has gone…

Hi, sorry for not checking in :embarassed: Unfortunately we don't have working scales at home (I'd been using the one where I volunteer) so I don't know if I've lost anything through our summer challenge yet. However, I start my new job in September and will be buying some as soon as I'm paid! Until then I'm just going to…

Hi When I first started MFP I only calorie counted. No exercise and I ate unhealthy food but stuck to my calorie limit and lost 30 lbs. A few months ago I started walking and making much healthier food choices but I've never eliminated food groups, used intermittent fasting, done the whole eating little meals every few…

If I'm desperately craving sugar I'll have one of the 99cal 'funsive' chocolate bars but most days I can get by with low calorie hot chocolate - I make it with 1tsp of powder so it's only 20 calories and 2g of sugar per mug. I also sometimes have boiled sweets (either Werther's Originals or Fox Glacier Fruits), they're a…

I think for me part of it is that at my heaviest I clearly had a completely distorted body image. In the same way that an anorexic can look in the mirror and think they're fat, I was obese but looking and thinking it wasn't too bad...it's only now when I try on my old clothes that I realise how fat I must have been - I…

Thank you so much Kimsied for taking the time to write such a detailed answer. Definitely going to be following all that advice :)
