Well done! Me too - giving it up for lent? We have a treat cupboard at home that is stacked with penguin bars, rocky bars etc. I've given up all forms of chocolate bar for lent. Day one is a success! Keep it up! x

Great! Can you add me or let me know how to add you?

Any more takers? Come on! :-)

Wow- you look so great!! I'm pretty similar weight and height to your start (5ft2 and 147lbs) I was 136lbs but broke my ankle in June but unlike you, my weight increased!! You're my newest fave success story! Will add you as a friend- hope that's ok!

You look incredible!!

I'm in the UK! Would love some new brit fitness pals so feel free to add. :)

That is incredible! Well done!

Ok....will do. I trust you! :) Thank you for your help and patience. xx

Ok. Last question (honestly!) What do you think my daily calories should be? I'm doing insanity and want to lose weight. I know it shouldnt be anywhere near to 1200 but 1800 feels like it may be too high. Or, maybe i'm just worrying and i shouldnt! x

Oh thank you! My bf is 39%...hopefully for not much longer! Is there a good % amount for fats and carbs that you could suggest or is that fairly varied? Thank you for your advice - much appreciated x

Oh! I'm 152.4lbs 5ft 2inches. 28 years old. I'm a teacher and i'm in the first week of insanity. What %'s would you suggest for carbs, protein and fats - and how about calories? thank you :)

Thank you for all your help! How do you all eat your cottage cheese? I'll do a bit of googling. I've never even tried it! The macrofit people have an instagram and you can email them for the breakdowns.

Ooh thank you!! Any other suggestions for good protein shake/powder things? I have never bought them before. (I'm in the UK) x

Oh congrats Twelker! How lovely! I'll aim to set up a new spreadsheet and refresh the page, then will post it in the forums over the next few days, when i get a mo! x

Not great numbers wise, i've done about 3lbs. However, those 3lbs have taken me to the lightest i've been in about 3-4 years so i'm pretty happy! I'm thinking we should open up the challenge on the msg boards again to get a load of new people on board for a 5th round? what you think?

It has lost a bit of momentum i think! Maybe at the start of the next challenge we could 'readvertise' on the forums to get more people in? Stick with it!xx

Woo! Thanks for sorting the spreadsheet, i didn't get round to doing it last week. Did much better in round 3 than round 1 and 2 so i'm quite pleased! x

If i forget to make the new challenge if ppl want it, write on my wall and it'll remind me! x

Round 4? Should I just add on some new columns for a new 6 weeks? Thoughts? :-) I did better than the last 2 rounds, actually lost some weight - 5.8lbs woo! x

Woop woop!! :-D

Sorry! I went through to remove the people who hadn't updated, it might have been deleted accidently - so sorry! Please do add yourself back on! x

Here is the spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aua8OM31RuDtdExLeENfNVdYYjdNUHFGUEIyYjRZYVE#gid=0 :-) xx

Ah i love you lot! I especially like this: "I can have all the support in the world but if I am not self motivated I will never hit my goals" Thanks clever man, you hit the nail on the head for me. I've gradually gotten back to it this week. Hopped on the scale this morning to check to see if i'd gained again (i'd reached…

It was lovely to read how well you're doing, no need to feel guilty at all obviously! Keep doing what you're doing, you're quite the inspiration! :D

I've been quite honestly *kitten* the past few weeks. Actually didn't put my weight on the spreadsheet as i'd gained again and was too embarassed. Was at my boyfriends this weekend so couldnt weigh in this morning. Will do it tomorrow morning. Like Darin I too have a good old list of excuses why I've been so crap, here we…

I'm in!! :D

Hey, Dont let it stop you! I had a brilliant weekend - wedding etc, although it was awful for eating and put me a few steps back for a few days. Only the last couple of days have been good so i'm kind of expecting to have put on the pound i lost last week :-( Lots of lovely motivational people have kept me going though.…

Its hard to keep it up - we just need to keep motivating each other i think! Grrr come on! :-)

I lost 1 lb. Just got back from mega wedding though, 2 full days of eating delicious food and drinking lots :-S Going to have to try and work it all off and earn a loss next weekend!

Great idea! I had a sneaky weigh in on wednesday and was 1.2lbs down, hopefully it'll be a little bit more by now! Will find out tomorrow! xx
