Hi everyone, great to have so many people joining up for the challenge, good luck to everyone for meeting their February goals!

Seem to have had my post TOM whoosh this morning, which was appreciated! Normally I have a bit of a treat meal on a Thursday night and then an easier day on a Friday as it is my day off, but last weekend was a really off plan one and I have a couple more of those coming up this month so I plan to skip my 'treats' and see how my brain copes..... not sure if I am in enough of a habit yet or not, let's see!

I'm in! Really struggling with my evening snacking issues so maybe this will help me to just drink the water and forget the snacks.

Random note: as I was typing I had a banana slice from my toast slip off and fall down my shirt. That was completely special. So anyways, here's my weigh-in for the day. I've lost about 7lbs since I began a week ago today. I love the first week whoosh. Now the challenge is maintaining and recovering the stutter.

Ophelia I hope you are soon saying goodbye to the 270s forever :)

LovelyLeah I am also now post first fortnight for me whoosh, gonna keep working hard and know a few months down the line a new me will be revealed!

Day off today, about to take advantage of Lisbon being a city on 7 hills and climb up two of them..... trying to workout for free this time around. First though washing to put on and washing up to do... anything other than spending the morning being lazy on the sofa is fine!

Do we update daily is that the technique? I decided to do a near no carb day yesterday as I was hearing the siren song of bacon. Seems to have been the right thing at the right time.

Hi ladies, wanted to check in and wish you a Happy Friday and great start to the weekend, I really think this month is going to go by fast!

boatingmommy Thank you! :) Congratulations on having a loss last month, that is great! :carrot: do you boat in summer? I so cannot wait to get out there, I didn't even go once last year as I was laid up and thank goodness I am healed now. I have been working to get the muscles back in my leg (which I have) and improving strength in general. Onto a new month we go! :)

I did a pre weekend WI and am exactly the same since wed. so that is good I maintained. I just need to watch the weekend now, going out tonight and then sat. and sun strict o.p. With that being said, :dust: for us all over the weekend. Have a wonderful weekend ladies. I will check back soon.

Congrats on the losses ladies :cheer2::cheer2: nightsnacker I believe that there is no special weigh day and everyone just does what works best for them individually. Some people weigh in weekly, others daily, then you have someone like me who often reports more at months end lol. I am running a tight ship this month though so will be keeping a closer eye. WIshing you much success and that goes out to all. Catch up soon :)

opheliaphoenix 02-03-2017 02:03 PM

I forgot to say this earlier, but welcome to all the newcomers for the month! :wave:

LovelyLeah: Gotta love rogue banana slices...lol. Great progress so far!

takingcontrol: Me too! I am sick to death of them...ready to move down and out of here, lol. And, it sounds like you have a nice, productive day ahead of you! :yes:

Ronja: What is your fasting cycle?

NightSnacker: Great whoosh! Love when those happen. :yay:

Weekend Boater: Have a lovely weekend, as well! :)

-------------------------------------------------------

Hit more than my goal steps yesterday (over 11,000 for the first time!), drank lots of water, and ate on-plan...but, weight was up a bit to 271.4 this morning. Ughhh...scale, give me a break. Still not letting it derail me, but I am tired today and am over it...lol.

opheliaphoenix I have just started, so no cycle yet, but I was planning 5:2 as it sounds doable....but I will see!

Ronja: Let me know how it goes! I currently do the softer approach of intermittent fasting of 16:8 in day, but I have heard great things about the 5:2. I've thought about looking into trying it to shake things up a bit, but I think I need to wait until my willpower is a little stronger...lol. Looking forward to seeing your results!


Weekend Boater 02-03-2017 07:56 PM

Hi girls! :) Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I made it a point to check in more here this month and yes I love to be here.

I can't believe tomorrow is already the 4th! It is going to go by quick! Talk about buckling down this month!

Ophelia, your doing so great that I Hope you follow suit right now with your current plans. I love to hear about new plans, always nice to have them on the backburner, but when you find what is working for you that is fantastic! Keep up the great work! :)

Ronja, keep cranking my lady! :) keep us posted !

A big hello to anyone I missed and I hope to catch up to you all sooon.

I have 7800 steps down and as tired as I am probably will get up and get something in motion! No time like the present, as they say. Have a great night ladies and I look forward to seeing you all soon! Happy weekend!

LovelyLeah 02-03-2017 07:58 PM

opheliaphoenix 0.4lb is only a blip in the grand scheme of things. If you look at all the weight you've lost so far, does only 6oz matter? That's a turd right there ;). But I completely get how angering it can be when all you want to see is it moving down. Also I've been told (though it could be one of those myths) that your body retains more water after a longer or stronger workout to help with muscle repair. That could be complete BS but it makes me feel better. And be sure to throw this little speech in my face when I start getting frustrated too. Because I will. I definitely will....

I'm expecting a jump tomorrow. Tonight is my husband's only night off from both jobs. He works about 80 hours a week so we generally like to do something more special for dinner. Tonight he wants Chinese food which I can't fault him for because I've been craving egg rolls for the past few weeks. While I'll try to go a somewhat healthier route I'm not going to worry about it too much. Sometimes it's better to just eat the real deal when you're craving something and get it out of your system. Instead I'll stick more to focusing on portion sizes. I'm just glad he wanted take-out instead of going to a buffet! I'm not sure I would have that much control.
