UK Fat Chicks - A 6 week countdown - anyone want to join in?

When I was around these parts many moons ago, we used to have regular, short 'races'. Someone would post one up and keep track of everyones loss for the period.

Anyone taking part logged in once a week and posted their loss (or gain :( ) and once a week a round up of that weeks stats was posted by the OP!

I haven't seen one around recently, so I thought I'd start one.

I've Got the June bug! ends June 27th

I pledge a whole stone, 14lbs, as I am about to start the GL diet and to use my new Wii personal coach lady, woman, thingy!


Stef: Starting at 220lbs

I'll join in too and i'll say 14lbs too (you've got to aim high!).

I'm starting at 260lbs.

I'm in :)

Current weight: 249lbs
Goal Loss (by June 27th) 12 - 14lbs

Good Luck everyone

Count me in.

Current Weight 197
Goal- 1 stone

Good luck everyone!

Oh I'd love to get in on this one, it sounds perfect because I have a big recital coming up on June 23rd and I need motivation during this busy time.

I will shoot for 10-12lbs because my weightloss has really been slowing down recently and I don't want to not meet the goal!

Starting Weight - 168
Goal Weight - 158/156

Today is Sunday, May 17th. I will join the 6-week challenge for 9 pounds. (1.5 lbs a week is huge for me, as I lose weight verrrrrrry slowly even though I stick to plan.) So, by June 27 I will be 253.

SW (May 17) .... 262
CW (May 17) .... 262
GW (June 27).... 253

Yes :)

Current weight is 252 lb and would love to lose a stone by then (I've been losing 2lb most weeks so think 10-12 lb is more realistic but since everyone else thinks they can lose a stone I may as well try too - would love to be down to 17 stones by the end of June :) )

Greetings!

Okay, so this challenge is perfect for me because I am wanting to lose weight for my brother's wedding which will be June 27th exactly...problem is I'm not in the UK...I'm wondering if you all would let me join anyways...if not I understand as well.

This sounds like what I need.
sw-289.2(5/17/09)
gw-270(6/27/09)

-- I am so on this! I wont be starting til Tuesday tho (uni crapola)
I wanna aim for 7lbs? I think that would be a huge achievement, but it's more about going down a dress size and building muscle.


Nutrition
I'm pretty sure I'm going the low kcal route, lots of lean meats w/ broccoli, Oats, protein shake etc.
And lifting heavy again at the gym.

Hmm before 4pm: Oats, fruits, eggs, wholegrain bread. After 4pm: lean meats and veggies. (Although I'll still probably drink alcohol)

Hungry4achange, I'm quite sure that no one here would have a problem with where you are located!- I've got a wedding to go to aswell, Uncle's in the beginning of July.

BRING IT ON!!

This sounds do-able! Count me in. Am 170lbs today, if at the end of June I am less than this I will be happy!

Welcome all, including Our American Cousin :D

I'll post losses on Sundays, so whatever day you start counting, whatever day you post your loss it will appear in the following Sunday's stats.

Anyone else who joins will be added next Sunday..... come on in:hug:

Okay count me in, I just started today and I'm at 266, I figure I'll go for 14 pounds because weight loss is usually speedy at the beginning right? So 252 by the 27th.

Cheers Stef!
Good Luck everyone!!

Thanks for letting me join!

The ticker is actually correct, I started at 153.2 (Saturday) and am currently 150.2...my goal is 134.0 (I know I'm crazy but dream big)

Okay, so this challenge is perfect for me because I am wanting to lose weight for my brother's wedding which will be June 27th exactly...problem is I'm not in the UK...I'm wondering if you all would let me join anyways...if not I understand as well.

Do you have room for another one from across the ocean? I would love to join this challenge, as I've been in a slump for months now. With summer on the horizon, I feel at once disappointed in myself but also energized and motivated at the thought that I can and need to recommit - to losing, but also to health.

Unfortunately I've gained back to 156, and I'll set the goal to be at 149 by June 27... under 150.

Please let me know if it's ok for another non UK chick to join! :)

I do my weigh in today and am happy to say i'm down 2lbs. Yah!

Start: 260lbs
Current: 258.2 lbs
Goal: 246lbs (seeing it in numbers, it now seems like a tall order but we will see)

I hope I'm not too late - I'd love to join.
Weigh in this morning was 203lbs, same now for two weeks! But I will be ramping up the excersise, which I haven't really been doing much so far...
I'm aiming for 191lbs

SW - 203
GW 191

Congratz on the 2lb loss Starbuck :)

have just come back from 30 minute jog! ouch. Exercise really helps take mind off food though

Happy Monday Everyone!

Things are going well here...I'll be working most of the day...which should keep from getting into too much trouble :wink:

Beckster: Good work on the 30 min jog!

Walking2lose: Where in the states are you from?

I have added our 2nd American cousin, walking2 lose, and our Capital friend, merose.

I had a goodish day - diet OK, exercise no way! But as I am currentl fighting off hayfever that over the counter pills won't conatin, I'm not doing too badly (stuffy nose and all).

This GL diet is (on day 2) a good thing. Why didn't you lot tell me about it before? It is really easy to do and I still feel really stuffed - after religiously measuring everything and no cheating!

Hi all,

Thanks for welcoming me!

Stef - Thanks so much for coordinating this thread. I am SO glad to have accountability again because being accountable to just myself wasn't helping. Glad to hear you had a good day... what is the GL diet? I like the idea of being stuffed with no cheating!

Starbuck - great job on the loss!

I have been feeling really tired today... dragging around. I am trying to find the energy to work in the garden a bit and go for a walk. Since I am now committed to this challenge, I have also decided to start consistently counting calories again. So, I'm off to enter everything in dailyplate and go for a walk.

Be healthy!

oh... and Hungry, I am from the other coast - Virginia

Today ha been a weird day, yesterday I was really busy and forgot to eat but then went out and had 4 ciders, today was my usual post drinking eating fest unfortunately, half White baguette and salsa, roasted veg panini I'm seed bread, spinach and lentil burger and a salad...urgh ifeel so huge right now.

I think I'm going to have to quit the drinking or seriously cut down...I've been out nearly every night!

Greetings Friends!

Just to clarify, what days are our WI days for the challenge?

IamACrayon- I know for me personally that drinking a ton of water and green tea after a heavy driking night helps to get me back on track sooner. It really is never as bad as it seems!

3lb lost this week....I wasn't expecting that so very happy :) I don't have any scales so always weigh myself on Tuesdays at my parents' house.

Rainbow --That is so awesome! Keep up the awesome work!

I have not done great with eating today because we were served ice cream at work, and I did not turn it down. I'm leaving now to go on a 1 hour brisk walk with my friend/work out buddy. I feel a little like I'm coming down with something, so I hope I can keep up with her.

Have a good day, everyone!

Hungry- I'll try that next time, actually I ended up having a drink last night, but I've been feeling really full for the past few days and haven't really wanted to eat, so there are no post drinking munchies for me at the moment.

I'm not weighing myself until Sunday because I'm trying to get away from the fact that I'm a little bit addicted to doing it! :)

How is everyone?!

I'm in.
Put me down for 10 pounds
sw:258
gw:248

SInce I started this regime last SUnday, I weighted myself this morn and have lost first 2lbs. Will resist the scales again for another few days......

I'd like to get in on this if it's not too late. I'll pledge 14 lbs.

Cw: 223.8
Gw: 209.8

Well done Beckster, the draw of the scales are just too much for me. I end up weighing nearly every morning, even though I vow not too.

since I started this challenge I am down 3.16 more to go

Got on scales this morning and am now 11st13 (167lbs) - nice to see an "11" again rather than the horror of the "12". Am really pleased

Any room for a new girl? I'd like to aim for 12 lbs in these 6 weeks.
CW : 172
GW : 160

Just wondering when I can put details of my blog up on here and when I will get my own ticker!? xx

Hi!
I'm in! I'm starting today as well, I might as well kickstart things!
I'd like to lose 14lb in these next six weeks.
Woot!!

Greetings Everyone!

Welcome to all our new challengers!

Sounds to me like there are quite a few of you that are having some great success with this challenge...keep the good work! You are motivating me to get really serious about this weight loss buisiness.

Beckster-Your link to your blog is on the left hand side of your posts below your height. I think you have to wait 20 days, or post a certain number of posts before you get to create a signature...lame, I know.

Kick some booty today ladies!

WEIGH IN: Today 154... last week 157... 3 lb. loss!!!!

I weigh on Friday mornings, so I can relax just a bit on the weekend. I was very very happy with my weigh in this week. I know that's just because I'm restarting - usually I only lose 1-2 per week, so I know it will slow down, but I am happy!

Have a great weekend ladies! Be healthy!

I promise to make an updated list on Sunday - all the new entries and updates on the ones already in!

You can post your losses any day of the week, I'll find it all and subtract every pound, I promise!!


I'm doing quite well (but don't tell anyone, I don't want to jinx it).

Steph - You are awesome to compile all the numbers... THANK YOU for all you are doing! :carrot:

walking2lose - Wow 3lbs that's great! well done

Steph - You are awesome to compile all the numbers... THANK YOU for all you are doing! :carrot:

Thanks :D

But truly I am only passing on what others used to do, when I first started here.

I found it useful then and just thought it would be nice to start it up again.

I am looking forward to compiling the first week's results.....
:dizzy:

Hey Guys,

Hope I'm not too late to join in on this, if not, thanks a million for putting it all together Stef - I am pretty new to the forum, and have mostly been on the US forums, though am Irish - it'll be a bit of a relief to talk in stones for a while!!

I am doing a VLCD (very low calorie diet) High protein, practically no carbs, so technically should be able to manage over a stone in the time remaining, should!!!

So...

SW 16' 10
GW 15'7

Thanks again

Hi Ellie - that sounds like one severe diet hun!

I'm doing one that you might want to swap to when you have got that first lump off :o

It is the GL diet - look up The Holford Diet and GL diet on-line.

It is a low(er) carbs one, but not restrictive. It might be a goody for you to move onto for slower more sustainable loss and then long term maintenance. So far I am getting good results on it :D


Welcome to the 6 week challenge, I shall add you to tomorrows weigh in.

Good luck :hug:

Thanks Stef, appreciate it!
Yep, it is pretty severe, but the theory is that the benefits of actually losing the weight far out weigh the ills of fast weight loss. Somebody like me, who wants everything now, gets impatient with the slow and steady approach, and thus abandons it all together. (tried and tested on my part)
It is supervised by a doctor though (a real one!) and there are lots of steps later on to re-introduce 'normal' food and lose the last couple of stone slower etc, so am happy with it for now - it's pretty fascinating actually, all the science bit, and your body going in to ketosis and all that.

Thanks again

Ellie

Thanks Stef - can't wait to see everyone's results....

Thanks for replying Ellie,

In truth I was a bit worried... but if you are under a GP and are getting all of the science to support your thinking and losing, then I shall relax!

(I was a healthy living consultant in a previous life and I still feel the urge to advise people).

It sounds like you have a good GP, often they don't have the time, training or inclination to help people in that way!

Anyhoo, welcome and good luck! :D

Thanks Stef, all advice always greatefully received, but no need to worry bout me - going to a specialist doctor - GP referral though!

Hi all, hope all is well!
well done to Rainbow, Beckstar, walking2lose, stef and anyone else who has lost weight already!

I can't imagine I've lose anything, I was up for over 40hrs from monday to tuesday trying to get uni stuff finished, eating anything and everything. Tuesday I fell asleep in the afternoon had dinner hthen feel asleep in the evening and didnt get up till midday.
I thought I was doing ok(I haven't been payign that much attention sue to exhustion) but I had a few drinks yesterday evening so I spoilt it. I wanna get back to the gym and walking I just feel like Im so tiredthere is no time at the minute.
*here's hoping next week will be calmer!*
Good Luck girlies!

Well done for getting through a difficult time for you angeleyezx.

Stef - am sorry i didn't read instructions properly!! :dizzy: I will commit to 14 lbs (looks a lot when you write it down!)

Also, i did my FINAL weigh in of the week.... i can't quite believe this but i am down to 11st11 (165lbs!). It was my first week so i know i can't expect this much again but all the same i am so so so pleased. Big thanks to this forum for all the motivation xxx :happy:

Okay, I'm in too but don't get weighed until Tuesday, so will let you all know what I've lost then.

Start Weight: 22st 6.5lbs (314.5 pounds)

I'm aiming for 1st 7lbs (21 pounds) - Yes I know that's a lot, but I'm on my First proper week this week so should have lost quite a lot - So that will help!!

Here's hoping I can stay motivated :)

Heya Friends,
So the results are in this week!
Glad to here everyone is doing so well!

SW: 153.2
Week One Weight: 149.6 (-3.6) :trampo:

Now if I can just keep it up...

I also wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm going out of town on a back packing trip for the next 3 days so I will not be able to post until I return...I should be great fun though...and lots of exercise!

Well done Hungry...that's really great news!! :)

I've discovered something really great for Slimming World Members - It's called "Mug Shot" and the Noodles ones are free on a Green Day - They are lovely!!! I think they're going to be GREAT for me cause they'll give me something nice and soothing to nibble on when I'm hungry :)

Count me in too!

Started at 295.5lbs and have lost 13.5lbs in the last 4 weeks. Am doing weight watchers. My weigh in day is Weds.

So current weight is 282lbs. Will aim for 14lbs in the 6 weeks.

Good luck

I would like to lose 1 stone. Starting a week late. 05/23

SW: 209.4
CW: 212.6
GW: 195.4

I got on the scales this morning and got the figure of 260 so that's 6 pounds down this week, I'm keeping fingers crossed that I can continue losing.

I am weighing in tonight at 252, so that is pretty good. No exercise today other than brutal gardening(everything hurts)
So that is 6 pounds down...

Just wondering when I can put details of my blog up on here and when I will get my own ticker!? xx

I think it waits for 30 days, to make sure you are a regualr user. By the time we get half way through the challenge you'll be up and running :)

OK, here we go. Good luck to you all!

:congrat: Cleophas


:carrot: Lookingtobehealthy


Group loss: 31.6lbs so far - I shall check in and update this during the day!



Welcome to all who joined later in the week. Good luck!


Anyone else who joins will be added next Sunday..... come on in :hug:

Good work Stef - you are a star :cheer:

Well done to everyone . Looking forward to being a big loser next week x

Thanks Stef for posting this.
The race is on girls. Let's get this done....

Whee! Thank you for doing this, now I'm even more excited.

Thanks so much, Stef!! I know it must be time consuming to compile the results - it definitely adds a huge layer of ACCOUNTABILITY and MOTIVATION for me to see it in blace and white and be part of a group challenge!

My goals this week are to continue counting calories on dailyplate and exercise at least 5 days!

Have a healthy day, girls!

Oh, it's going to be a hard week to follow. Holiday weekend, DH is home, wine has been drunk and the GL diet got forgotten.

Still, I'll have at least 5 days to get a little bit down. And I should be able to do a lot more exercise this week!

Fingers crossed, mouth stitched closed and walking shoes firmlay laced on!

I've got a pair of those MBTs that are just about worn in now, so I shall start my morning walks again - I use a book, Nina Barough's Walking for Fitness that has some great tips and a variety of walking programmes. It is great!

I bought a neon yellow hoody from M+S, cleaned out my water bottles and am ready to go!

I have even had a look at a half marathon for next March....... I may even make it!

So here I go:

Food Goal:
Eat a GL breakfast everyday

Exercise Goal:
Walk twice this week
Wii/yoga every day, 20 minutes minimum.

I've had a bad week. I ended up with one lb on. Will have to improve this week.

Current weight. 198

Hey Guys,

as Tuesday is my weekly official weigh day, here is this weeks weight - I find it quite hard not to weigh myself every day, but just in case I am good on that front this week...

SW:234
CW:231
GW:217
-3lbs

I might check in again on Sunday though with a further update - Thanks Stef

Weigh in day for me today - 2lb lost :) so now 247 lb :)

This week will be much harder - going camping for 4 days so resisting fast food (if it rains), bacon butties, sausages and ice cream will be difficult!

Hey, I hope it's not too late to join but i'd love to be in on it for the support and inspiration now that I am getting back into the swing of things. My starting weight is 159lb and I am going to aim for a loss of 10lb. I weigh in every Friday so i'll let you know how i'm doing. :D

Did the 3 mile walking workout from this website
http://www.exercisetv.tv/startwalking/

Really good workout, nearly killed me but I feel great now.

Hi everyone

Have been good today...so far. Hubby is making popcorn so am staying up here in computer for a while to avoid temptation! Also resisting urge to get on scales.....will not weigh self until Sunday xx

Ok started off really well at work today, got home and it was all over.....
Binged (pb & j on a cracker, a bite of a cinamon bun, a banana a piece of cheese oh and lets not forget the piece of bread with jam on it)

remind me not to stop at the grocery store after work... please.....:o

Hi all

Congrats to everyone who has lost weight so far!

Well I had my weigh in and am down 1.5lbs. A bit annoyed with that, thought it would have been more. This is my 5th week on ww, first time I have been feeling a bit unmotivated... But its still a loss so chin up and keep going!

So my stats are

SW 295.5 (5weeks ago)
CW 280.5

Good luck everyone

Just bought the EA Active game for the Wii, so hope to lose some this week (fingers crossed).

Hiya, is it too late to join?

Hiya touchmytoes, welcome to 3FC.

In order to get a signature you need to have been a member for at least 20 days and you need to have over 20 posts.

I'm not sure if a stone in a month is possible as it would depend but you can definitely be achieved by August 19th. Just take things slow and don't try to rush it as this could have the opposite effect.

I'll see you around the forum :)

Thanks for the info..i dont mind the time it will take really as long as it comes off..i just to get myself in to gear.
gonna do some sit ups tonight and see if i can get my belly back..it slips away so quickly doesnt it...not that little thing quite so much anymore..more like a big thing!! thanks

I shall add everyone in on Sunday, I promise.

We just need to catch up with this weeks no shows, I'll mention no names today, but I shall be holding them accountable (is there a devil emoticon round here........ ah ha!) :devil:

Today is Thursday, May 28th. I joined the 6-week challenge for a total of 9 pounds. (1.5 lbs a week is huge for me, as I lose weight verrrrrrry slowly even though I stick to plan.) So, by June 27 I will be 253.

SW (May 17) .... 262
CW (May 28) .... 260
GW (June 27).... 253

yep 6 weeks im in - want to lose 12lbs xxxxx

Weighed in today at 251.8. Woo Hoo still losing.
:D

Really annoyed that I've been the same for 2 weeks now, can't seem to get the scales moving.

I'm being really good with my food and exercise, so it's a bit disheartening.

OMG OMG! :carrot: I've lost 4.8lb since Monday! That's amazing but I think it's probably because i've been doing lots of exercise - normally when I diet I don't bother to exercise but I made things different this time and it is really paying off. So now I weigh 154.6lb! Yay yay yay! (I've decided to make Friday my official weigh in day).

Well done BeautyandtheBeast!
Starbuck, like all of us you know what it's like, it doesn't always go the way you want, just stick to it! I don't know what you eating/doing, but maybe eating a lil more or less may help(for a brief period). or changing your exercise routine?

Welcome newies!

I've been eating less, althought feeling entierly bloated all the time! and still have cravings, I've been eating an egg scrambled w/ some soya milk and ham for breakfasts and lunches.
and different foods for dinner and later on in the evening. :)
I weigh tomorrow morning for Sunday, last Saturday I was 8.1 :S

Whee :D I weighed in this morning at 255, that's another 5 pounds off this week! I can't believe I've taken off 11 pounds already.

Congratulations to all you losers!

Biggest Loser this week:


:congrat: Cleophas 5lbs this week, 11lb overall



Group loss: 52.5 lbs in 2 weeks, and we didn't all weigh in! - I shall check in and update this during the day!



Welcome to all who joined later in the week. Good luck!

Heya Friends,

Sorry I didn't post WI on Sat...I work on the weekends and everything just gets a little crazy. I WI at 148.0 yesterday morning...which puts me at a total of 5.2 lost so far for this challenge. Woohoo! Congrats to all the losers as well...I've been greatly motivated by the progress you are all having!

:o Oooops Forgot to log my progress.

Sunday May 17th: 249lbs (Starting weight)
Sunday May 24th: 253lbs +4lbs Bad week :dizzy: (Gained Weight)
Sunday May 31st: 248lbs (current weight) -1lb from original start weight.

So I've shifted the extra weight I gained and a extra 1lb. Hopefully I won't go off track again. 13lbs to go to reach my goal for this 6 week challenge.

Will find out tomorrow if I lost weight in the last week - think I managed to stay within calories but still ate ice cream every day (though planned it so ate less of everything else) and lots of fruit and salad so hopefully have still lost or at least stayed the same.

Starbuck keep working hard and I'm sure you will lose weight this week.

had all the best intentions but it ended badly i think although im not weighing in until wednesday!!

just came home from work, had my soup for my tea and a slice of bread which did fill me until i had a nap and then i woke up and just had a slice of chocolate roll and another two slices of chunky bread!! its awful, i totally and utterly lack will power!! but i hate the way i look and still insist on eatin!!

cor!
:mad:

SW 209.4 on 5/23

Way to go ladies, you are doing awesome!
I don't know where I went wrong (well actually I do) it may have something to do with eating too many carbs, and my son's birthday party (cake, pizza need I say more)
Started off on Monday weighing in at 251 so I guess that's not so bad.
Onwards and forwards. Trully I must have lost some weight today after all the gardening and excercise....
We shall see next week what is to be of me...
Good luck ladies

So you've lost 7lb on the June big challenge? :carrot: I just checked - sounds good to me - well done :carrot::D I have to watch carbs or else I don't lose much weight.

Hi All,

Well done to everyone!
My Weigh day is a Tuesday...so I will stick to that (maybe until the last week, when I will allow myself the extra weigh on the Saturday!!)

Not too delighted with this week, but next week will be better

229 - CW

-2lbs this week...ran a mini marathon (10k), so thought it would be better, but maybe it wil all miraculously fall off in the week ahead!!!!

Well I had weigh in today and am 2lbs down!

Happy with that, especially after a very fun weekend away..

Well done to everyone who is losing so successfully

good luck

CW 278.5 lbs

Today is Wednesday, June 3. I joined the 6-week challenge for a total of 9 pounds. As of today, I am 259. I lose weight verrrry slowly, so I'd better get a move on!!!! (Ok, my wonderful body, listen to me and do this!) So, by June 27 I will be 253.

SW (May 17) .... 262
CW (June 3) .... 259
GW (June 27).... 253

:p was 148 now 144.5 (considering i was all doom and gloom early in the week!)

woopwoop...still dont feel it but getting there...just bought a size ten on ebay...really looking forward to fitting in it!!

thanks ladies

x

I would kill to be a size 10....
Good for you....
Keep up the great work.

I am trying to keep away from the scales until Sunday!

Went to a friend's house for dinner last night - she cooked a delicious pie - eek!

Ran 6km this morn to help burn it off!

Good Morning Everyone!
Things are going well here, not expecting a huge loss this week as my weight loss is really starting to slow down. I start a bootcamp class at my gym next week though...it's 3 days a week at 6 a friggin' clock in the morning. I sure hope something good comes out of it. I hope you are all doing well also...I know I'm not able to post that much, but I do keep up with reading the thread. It is interesting to me that so many of us have issues with how often we weigh in...for me I go back and forth between weighing every day and weighing once a week. If I weigh everyday though I have to be very careful that it doesn't get unhealthy...as it has in the past.

Hiya everyone :) I weigh in at 152.2 this week so that's a loss of 2.4lb! I'm pretty happy with that. I set myself a goal weight of 10lb for this challenge and so far i've lost 7.2lb so I think i'm doing quite well. How is everyone else?

Enjoy your days!

I couldn't resist scales this morning.....pleased to report another 1lb down. Am now 162lbs and have lost 8lbs in almost 3 weeks. Am pleased with that and accept that my weight loss is probably going to slow down to 1lb a week...but hey, this time in three weeks I will be in the magic 150's - haven't been there for a good few years! x

I looked up my original post in this thread and it was 223.8. Well, I've made it to 214.6. If the weights losses are recorded weekly, I've lost 4.8 lbs this week.

Great motivating thread. I really want to lose every pound (14 of them) that I've pledged.

beautyandthebeast, beckster,right direction you guys rock! Way to lose those pounds.
I am staying pretty much the same this week around. I started off with 6 pounds the first week, but it seems to be harder this week for some reason. I have also added extra exercise in my routine.
HMMMM- at least we have till the end of June for this challenge...

:(

Well done everyone! :)

Just been on the scales and i'm now officially off my plateau, thanks guys!

I'm now 256.4lbs so i've lost 1.8lbs this week.

I have been MIA -- just super busy.

I have not done great with working out or eating during the busy period... fortunately I have not gained, but unfortunately I have not lost!

I am still the same.

Here's to a new week... I plan to see the scale go down at my next weigh in.

Congrats to all who are losing... great job!

Heya Friends!

Just checking in to report that I am weighing in at 147.2 this morning...which is down only .8 from last Sat. I am beginning to think my goal was a bit ambitious...but what the heck, you have to dream big right? Actually I am adjusting my goal bit...I think I am going to shoot for 140 instead of 134...I am a dreamer...not crazy.

Oh me??

Yes, I suppose I'd better weight in too :D

215lbs this week, so that's another 1lb off. Slow or what?

Still, it's coming off and that's all that matters!

I'll add 'em all up now......

Congratulations to all you losers!


Biggest Loser this week is:


:carrot: the right direction


Group loss: 77.6 lbs in 3 weeks - I shall check in and update this today and tomorrow.


As for those of you who have wandered off - :coach: GET BACK HERE.... come back and be losers too :soap:


We're half way through (eek) so lets give ourselves a group hug :grouphug: and a swift kick in the pants :kickcan: and just get on with it!

:goodscale to you all!

Just went to the gym with my husband...did 30 mins on the bike machine which burned only 236 cals...feel like it should have at least have burnt all the fat in my left leg....blurgh...not good with excercise....

anyway...although not my weigh in day, I shall however be weighing tomorrow to see how much damage this weekend has taken out on me...i reckon a lb put back on...but we will see come tomorrow ......

got hols in august....this is a mission im not going to fail.....

p.s...anyone know a good way to shift cellulite...creams? anything? its creeping down my legs whereas it only ever used to be on my bum...shorts and short skirts are not an option at the moment...

thanks :^:

The only way I know to get rid of cellulite is to disguise it!

Dry brushing works well but you have to stick at it, but as it also makes you FEEL better if it becomes part of yuor self pampering routine, I don't care if the 'science' behind it is all hogwash!

A lecturer once described it as a small irittation that plumps up the dimpled in skin so it all looks flatter.

Google it and you'll find loads of sites. Have fun!

Today is Sunday, June 7. I joined the 6-week challenge for a total of 9 pounds. As of today, I am 257. I need to lose 4 more pounds in 20 days, which is a push for me but I'm determined!

I'm going to change it up a little bit and not eat dinner after 6:30 p.m. most nights. I have a tendency to eat at 8 p.m. or later. I'm also wearing a GoWear Fit and I am going to try to up my average METS during the day (1.0 is what a person would be doing sitting on their butt, 3.0 is active exercise and 6.0+ METS is intense exercise).

Bah, no loss this week, but no gain either, kicking things up a notch this week, wish me luck!

Loss this week 3lb

well done to everyone...now that I am three weeks in I don't ever want to go back! I am really doing this after years of false starts and empty promises to myself - hurray! xx KEEP GOING EVERYONE

Good luck Cleophas. You've had a couple of good weeks so you probably could expect a bit of a slow down. Good luck kicking it uo a notch - you can beat it! Give it a good kick!
http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-fighting-smileys-393.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Smoking-Smileys/)


Ellie R - keep coming back and saying that! I could do with a constant reminder myself - one more time will do it, I will not have to do this again - with a little bit of help I think I could do it!
http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-happy-smileys-296.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/)

aaw weighed just an although not officially weighing in til wed, only lost half a pound...didnt really over do it on the weekend either, could have been alot worse!! humph!! extra specially good tomorrow and wednesday then!!

I seem to be stuck these last two weeks. Weighed in today at 250 and am fluctating between 250 and 251/252. I don't get what is going on. I am thinking of increasing my exercise regime.

good luck to everyone in this challenge. It sounds like some of you are doing awesome.

Thanks for the encouragement Stef, I checked this morning and it's going down again, the extra exercise is really helping :)

1lb lost - I'd be happier with that if I hadn't weighed myself on Friday when I weighed 1lb less than I do today :( Still, it's still 1lb :) and hopefully the other lb will show up again next week.

2.5 lbs lost now 142lbs

not bad really
:carrot:

I can't believe it but the scale read 246.6 this morning at work where I weigh myself on the digital scale...
I am in awe... I don't know if its because I have switched up my exercises or not, but whatever it is I am happy:carrot:

thats brilliant news
well done you not far off your weight ideal at the mo?
how much fitness are you doing?
:p

tochymytoes:
thanks for the message. I seemed to be stuck for two weeks then all of a sudden this happens....


I am cycling 10 min in morning AND 10 min at night along with about 4 kms a day of walking. 2 0f which are on the treadmill with a slight elevation at a steady pace= 11 min a km.
Between that and walking the dog and walking all over the hospital that would add another 2.
That's it really. Oh and proper diet ofcourse.

good luck on your journey...

Hi all.
OMGOSH well done to you all!
You are all doing so well!
Sorry for letting the team down, I'm not maing any progress at all.
I have had my re-focus at the gym, but it doesn't seem to have made a difference :(

Hi everyone - am weighing in for this week

Now standing at 161 lbs (11st 7) - i think that's a pound down on last week

Weighed in this morning at 252, so hit my target! :D Now let's see how much I can get off in the rest of the challenge!

That's great Cleophas, well done!!

I'm weighing in tomorrow, so see then how i'm doing.

Well done Cleophas, keep going!! :bravo::bravo::bravo:

My advice would be to set another little target for yourself for the time left

Good luck on the weigh in tomorrow SB :hug:

Thanks Ellie, I was thinking about getting off another 3 pounds so I can say goobye to the 250's forever :dizzy:

Wow, Cleophas, you made your goal with time to spare. Way to go!

I'm reporting a 1.8 lb loss this week putting me at 212.8 lbs.

Good luck, everyone.

Hello ladies! Sorry to not have been around too much this week...June has been shaping up to be a pretty wild month for me...

I am happy to report another loss this week though! I WI this morning at 146.5...Unfortunately still a ways from my goal...but still in the right direction!

Hi everyone, I'm done 3.5lbs this week so at the halfway point. Not sure if i'll get there but i'll try my best!

Me. down just 1lb!

I did diddly this week, and I ate ice cream, a lot of ice cream!

The big question is can we all join Cleophas and be winners? So I am going to be very American and reaffirm my goal!


I promise to do better, to work harder, eat less and to lose the whole 14lbs by the end of the month

Scarily that means 8lbs in 2 weeks!!!!! But as there have been 3 and 4lb losses posted I could do it, so I will!!!

Hey All,

Posting today, as am away on business for the whole rest of the week (lets see how well that works for the diet!!!!)

Anyway
SW: 234
CW: 224
GW:217

loss this week 2lb
Total loss 10lb

My scales seems to have developed quite a sticky needle at the moment, but I SHALL prevail!

I will never understand weight loss.

3lb lost. Weighed myself today instead of tomorrow, won't be tomorrow in case I'm heavier on Tuesdays :-) Now 241lb BUT I missed 2 days of exercise, had KFC on Saturday (though only had 2 pieces of chicken and a few chips not many). and have generally been eating less healthily than the previous 10-12 weeks (though have tried to stay roughly within calories, but probably was higher than previous weeks). Need to get back to eating more healthily as I don't think a reasonable amount of weight loss will continue if I don't.

3lb to go to mini goal. Hopefully I can do it. Really want to be below 17 stones - will be a big achievement for me.

ive lost motivation, although joined this in late may, i did expect to lose a little more than this.
im struggling getting lower than 10.2- 10.1...

gonna hit the gym tomorrow and up the fitness for the next 2 months...anyone aiming to keep this going for longer than the end of june? how about the end of july?

went to have hair done on the weekend, (family run business) have known them all for years and years, and they all just looked at me and said....'oh your looking relaxed?!!' translated to...hey you podge!!

im not looking for a super bod, just to lose another half a stone before i go on hols....ive never felt so massive!! humph!! im pear shaped though which means that the weight seems to come off my boobs and top half but i still have a massive bum!!

ladies....help!!

I hope I get another pound this week.....

Don't worry, touchmytoes, I'll probably set up a Jumping July Challenge - it may even involve skipping ropes, trampolines, rebounders, pogo sticks and anything else that makes us work those legs!

:trampo:

Just keep on plugging at it. It'll work eventually (she hopes) :D

aaw come on....(i tell myself this) 5 custard creams ,a glass of the red stuff last night too...and 2 packets of crisps today!! havent lost havent put on this week and havent done ANYTHING...im ashamed of myself ...all those false promises about the gym...came down to nothing...

ah well...im starting good on monday, not gonna do much over weekend as going away for a night with the hubbie...did notice however that i didnt look too bad in my undies this morning ...for a change! perhaps the light was shining a different way?!!

anyway.....weight still 142! was 141 on saturday humph!

by this time next week i aim for 3 lbs!! soup every day !!
:mad:

:mad:

You stayed the same even though you are all those custard creams and crisps :) That's good :) Watch the salt in soup - drink lots of water too to help with a good weight loss.

OMG, this is slooooooow-going! My last report was June 3 and I was at 257, so I've only lost one lb. to 256 in 15 days!!!! That is slow, even for me.

I have been on-plan the whole time, the only thing I can think of is to up my exercise. I sure would like to lose that next 3 pounds by June 27, but it's only 9 days away!!! Arghghghghgh.

One possibility -- I have noticed that I do hover around a weight for awhile, and then when I lose it's usually in 2 or 3 lb. increments overnight. Since I've been in the "hovering" stage for awhile, I'm praying for another semi-miracle!

SW (May 17) .... 262
CW (June 18) ... 256
GW (June 27).... 253

I'm feeling quite smug, as usually when i go away on business is tough tough tough, but 3 out of 4 nights, i'v managed to stay in places with Gyms, and have actually used them!!! i even purchased a pair of speedo togs to go for a swim, that's my first outing in a swim suit for a long long time....why oh why do the sporty ones have the backs cut out to expose the ever present back flab...i mean why?
Think i might post my weight again this week, as am dying to hop on the scales when I get home! Hope i'm not disappointed

I am weighing in today as I am going away for the weekend. I am pleased as punch to report another 1lb loss. Am now 160 (11st 6) I can't wait to get into the 150s!!!! :carrot:

Hi, everyone.

Weigh in day for me and I'm happy to report a 2.2 lb loss. One more week and less than 1 lb to go for this challenge. Hope I get there!

Good luck, everyone!

After all I said I am abslutely guaranteed to gain this week.

I teach and so have had thank you choccies, a goodbye BBQ, a staff leavng meal all in 1 week.

Next week we have a department meal, a pig roast and a high tea for another staff leaver!

Oops!

Never mind, Jumping July will sort that out as I will be able to hit the gym now there are no students in it :D

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh - why is it never easy?

(fatty fatty bum bum - just a quick sneer at myself for being a weakling JUST SAY NO)

I'd like to take part in this next time if you're going to do it again pls :D

Hi All,

Am posting for the second time this week, as weigh day is normally a Tuesday, so want to have a full week before the big Finale, don't think i'll quite make the target, but not a million miles away (and i did join a week late! After all my smugness of Gym going and good behavious, its not quite as dramatic as expected, but nonetheless!

Anyway

Ooooooooh! One more sleep and then just one more week!

I'm scrabbling through recipes and sorting out gym kit - I can at the very least get 10 - 12lb gone!

And dammit I will!


Read you all tomorrow, good luck to those who haven't weighed in yet :hug:

I'm down another 2lbs this week, slow and steady me. Just have to remember to weigh in next Saturday not Sunday.

Weighing in again........I got back from my weekend away yesterday and am pleased to report another pound gone. I am now into the 150s, just! Am 159 now or 11st 5 in old money. I have lost a total of 11lbs over the last month and a bit. My goal was, and still is, 14 lbs by end of June.

1lb down..although i dont know how!!

anyway...anyone know any good things to get rid of the old love handles and if there is anything else as well as sit ups for my belly....?

thanks :D

Eeek, I have lost my home internet connection - sorry to all who are still waiting for the numbers to go up!

As soon as I am no longer on work time I'll get on with it!

Hi All,

And let me just say, thanks to Stef once again for looking after all of this, you've been brill!

I am just gonna get it over and done with and post today, so
Here goes

SW:234
CW:219
GW:217

Didn't quite make it, but am a happy gal with my 1st'1lb in 5 weeks.

well done to everyone, and thanks again!

xxo

thanks Stef - will give it a final push this week.

Let's get ready for jumpin July!

Please can i join for the next one ... need something to challenge me just as I start my journey!!

Thanks
Sarah

I'm ending this challenge with a bang with a loss of 5.4 lbs this week.

Sw: 223.8 lbs
Cw: 205.4 lbs
Gw: 209.8 lbs

I was glad to keep my pledge of 14 lbs (and it was that thought in mind that kept me going that extra mile on this final week).

Thanks so much to Stef for all the work you've put into this thread. I'd love to do another challenge like this if anyone has it in mind.

This may not be quite fair, but I'm out of town and weighing myself on the only scale I have access to and it shows me at .... 252! So I am going to take it even though I suspect it's a little light. I really have stuck to plan, and I feel good about that. I've also been traveling for 3 days and I've done well and tracked my calories. Thank you for this challenge! C.J.

SW (May 17) .... 262
CW (June 18) ... 252
GW (June 27).... 253

I now weigh 239lb so 13lb lost :) Happy as it is a lot to lose in 6 weeks but a little :( as i weight 238 all last weekend and put on 2lb during TOM :( and 1lb of it seems to of stayed. Still hoping to be 238 (exactly 17 stones) by the end of this month.

I'm down 2lbs again this week, so didn't get the full 14lbs but still really happy. We've all done really well, congrats everyone!

Final weigh in at 250, which is pretty good since I binged twice last week, before now I would have given up, but now I'm back on track. Is there another challenge in the making?

I'll check again later but I think we're done here! June is passing, July rushing in and we are ready for it!

Congratulations to us all - we deserve it :encore:







I'll start the new challenge if you are all up for it!

Please can I join your next challenge? It looks motivating and is just what I need to get me started!!

Thanks
Sarah

Look, got to 238lb before June ended :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot: was a tiny tiny bit below 17 stones today:carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carr ot::carrot::carrot: but not enough to count an additional lb loss. Counting the extra lb as part the Jumping July weight loss now - good to get a lb ahead i think :D:carrot:

Woo and Hoo for Rainbow
